ACTION ITEMS
1. The Library Board Minutes of Monday, January 11, 2010 were approved with corrections.
DISCUSSION ITEMS
Patron Behavior Policy Review: Added "use and behaviors" to the second paragraph. The
Library Board agreed that the second paragraph was the best one for the policy. Added, "heelies
and any other wheeled shoe on Library Board property."
It was brought to the attention that law enforcement will make the decision on whether the child
is abandoned after assessing the situation. Wording was changed under the "Rules Governing
the Use of the Library by Children" to make it more concise and brief. The unsupervised age
was changed from "nine" to "eleven".
