PRESENTATION
ACTION ITEMS
1. The Library Board Minutes of Monday, August 10, 2009 were approved with corrections.
DISCUSSION ITEMS
The Library Board discussed the pros and cons of having the computer lab open for the general public
when classes are not in session. The lay-out of the computer lab is not visible from the desks. Having
the computers available would increase the number of computers for public use. Another option might
be to rent the computer lab out to businesses and home school groups. It was recommended that the
computer lab might be locked up for security reasons. It was decided to table the discussion until the
Library Board tours the site to see the lay-out of the new building.
Rachel will investigate to see if the computer reports will do it by people and not just sessions.
Rachel reviewed the computer lab PowerPoint presentation for input. The Library Board came up with
the following goal for the computer lab: To offer individuals and groups in the community an
opportunity to improve computer skills, access information, and be life-long learners.
