WORK SESSION -DISCUSSION ITEMS
WS1.Review the Library’s Collection Development Policy
Ofilia mentioned the policy had been reviewed over most of the year by the attorneys,the Texas State Library Archives
Commission,other libraries,etc.looking for wording,clarification,and recommendations etc.to better prepare public
libraries for book challenges,and to avoid lawsuits.She said the policy is much the same as it always was,with the exception
of the section called Stating Concerns About Library Materials.She mentioned:
●The steps are now clear,not vague,with timelines,priorities and precise procedures for the process.
●Ofilia defined and reviewed the meaning of en loco parentis.
●Ofilia emphasized her role in making sure our eight Librarians responsible for collections follow the selection
criteria rules listed in this policy.
●She mentioned the dedication and conscientiousness behind the choices the Librarians make.She
mentioned that we run out of funds way before we run out of materials we can buy.She discussed trying to
equally represent everyone and that Librarians remove their personal preferences from the criteria.
●She talked about weeding and discarding materials for wear and tear,and due to limited shelf space.She
clarified we are not the judge of the appropriateness of materials other than being sure materials are in the
right collections/areas of the library.
●She clarified that the appropriateness of materials in general would be a court’s decision and would happen
at the state level.Ofilia discussed the public’s recent concerns over pornography and stated if we collected
materials classified as pornography,we would lose our accreditation.She confirmed the materials we have
are not labeled as pornography by the State.She stated that if it is suddenly categorized that way,we would
have to remove it.She explained Librarians don’t have the authority to make those determinations.A judicial
body would decide this within a lawsuit or case about specific materials.She reiterated there would need to
be a court order stating something had been classified as such in order to remove it from the library.
◆Justin asked about the library’s electronic collection
➔Ofilia said when the electronic collections are part of a consortium,we have no control over those materials.There was a
discussion about where to find this in the policy itself on page 7.She clarified that if the material in question is owned by the
Library,and was ordered to be removed,we would remove it from the collection and most likely from the electronic
materials as well.
◆Roberta asked about space for growth.
➔Ofilia stated we currently have around 123,000 physical items and discussed weeding,book condition,money to purchase
materials,and the rising cost of replacements.
◆Roberta asked what happens to Book Club copies
➔Ofilia mentioned sometimes we lease those copies and send them back.She also mentioned there are book club kits and
we can use multiple copies as a way to create those as well.
◆Zach asked about discretion on materials that are challenged or concerns raised about specific materials.
➔Ofilia referred to the selection criteria rules.She talked about the journal reviews used to determine where to place
materials.She and Zach had some discussion about a previous concern and its outcome.Roberta referred back to the
resources librarians use as standards and reiterated that none of these resources will ever recommend pornography.

08/28/2023 Item A.
◆Monica asked how often we get complaints.
➔Ofilia stated that documented complaints are rare,but comments come in often.She shared a specific example of recent
patron behavior and shared examples of passive complaints as well.She said that in her 16 years,there hasn’t been a
complaint that came to the Board.
●Ofilia discussed suggestions made by attorneys and TSLAC to allow only taxpayers to participate in the steps
taken to review materials given they pay to build and retain the resources at the library.She stated she
would be willing to talk to anyone who has concerns,but to follow this procedure,it must be someone who
provides funding for the library and is paying for them in local tax dollars.
●Ofilia also reviewed the specific steps someone must take when there is a concern.She talked through these
steps specifically and also laid out an example of previous discussions with patrons who have concerns.She
explained the Board’s role in a challenge or concern.She gave them the steps the Board could take in
reviewing concerns as far as creating sub-committees,etc.and mentioned that once we review an item,it is
not eligible for review again for five years.
◆Justin asked how long materials stay removed.
➔Ofilia said if that happened,and to her knowledge it has not happened here,it would be removed forever.
◆Justin asked if there is an age limit for Library card holders.
➔Ofilia said as long as a parent agrees,kids of any age can have a card.Ofilia said the staff tried to convince parents to have
a card as well.
WS2.Review choosing Books for the Library Collection Presentation
Ofilia gave some quick reminders about book purchasing.
●It must follow the collection selection criteria
●It is bought through Ingram,our approved book carrier
●Journal reviews are used
●We run out of money before we run out of books
She reviewed the way in which a Librarian chooses books and places orders by walking through several screenshots from
Ingram’s site and pointing out lexile level,book reviews,age appropriateness,content /journal reviews,specifically School
Library Journal,Publishers Weekly and Kirkus Reviews (which are in our catalog)etc.She discussed being dedicated to
transparency and giving patrons access to these reviews.
◆Brad asked for a definition of lexile levels
➔Ofilia explained reading levels,and stated with lexile level,the lower the number the easier it is to read the vocabulary.
◆Justin mentioned that he likes the ability to see the number of checkouts and holds
➔Ofilia said that information is available for each title.
●Ofilia wrapped up the discussion with a recap of the foreign language titles we carry in Vietnamese,Spanish,
French in the adult section and Spanish titles in our children’s collection.She discussed having to use other
vendors for these titles,and trusting reviews we purchase for these collections.
WS3.Review the Parent’s Guide to Teen Reads
Ofilia explained that we created this over a year and a half ago because parents were asking how they would know about the
content in books.Our first resource is the online review in our catalog.She also suggested parent ’s read the subject or
summary of the book.She mentioned that we are always willing to provide reviews to parents that may not be readily
available.She mentioned that we give parents free access to Novelist.They have complete reviews for grade level,more
about this book,and other clues about content.Ofilia recommended Commonsensemedia.org as an online review source

that is a deep dive in reviewing content.She said the final recommendation is to ask a Librarian who can help resource books
you want your kids to read or that you want to read.This document is located on our website in the Teen section.
WS4.Review monthly reports and usage statistics
Ofilia explained every Thursday she sends a report to the City Manager ’s office with program statistics,meetings,training
that happened,and general usage statistics.Those reports are compiled and brought to the Board.This report covers June 22
thru July 19.Ofilia walked through the report with the Board.She specifically talked through the digital resources and said
they are presented in calendar months.She explained that Hoopla’s collection is always available through instant borrows
and audiobooks,ebooks,tv,music,and movies are all available.She said Libby works like the Library where things can be
checked out if available.If not,holds are necessary.Kanopy is also streaming documentaries/art house films,scholarly
movies and it has titles for kids (Sesame Street,etc..).Ofilia said she is always interested in what type of device people are
using to stream.
Ofilia briefly talked through the meetings and training which is not all inclusive,but a list of highlights.She also mentioned
that she is the President of the Wylie East Fork Rotary Club this year.
◆Justin asked about the solar eclipse mentioned in the meetings section
➔The last discussion involved the epic plans for the Solar Eclipse party being planned for 2024.
◆Toshia asked about the Book Sale
➔Ofilia talked about how well it went.She said we made twice as much on pre-sale night as we did last year.She mentioned
that several folks were frustrated with aggressive resellers that were there.Plans are in place to add some structure to it next
