Call to Order
1. Approval of the Minutes.
Minutes were approved as read from the November meeting with one correction.
The Library Board party was on December 8, 1997.
2. Discuss and Act Upon the Approval of Fee Schedule.
The fee study was discussed. Mignon pointed out the suggested changes. The
Board approved the proposed study which will go to Council for approval.
3. Discuss and Act Upon Approval of Privacy Screens.
The privacy screens for Internet terminals were discussed. There will be two
computers and both of them will face the circulation desk. The Board approved
putting privacy screens on both terminals. They requested that the policy and
the release form be amended with the approval of the City Attorney before the
January 27 Council Meeting. (The policy was amended and the wording was
approved by the City Attorney on January 14, 1998.) A sign will be placed by the
computer reiterating the pertinent facts in the policy and the release form.
4. Discuss Quarterly Report.
The Quarterly report was discussed. The question arose about the increase in
population and statistics and the possibilities of adding this to the current Library
site. It was discussed and the Board agreed that building plans need to be
considered within three to four years at a maximum.
5. Discuss Automation Progress.
Mignon updated the Library Board on the Installation process. The hardware
has been received and installed. The Library staff has begun self-paced
training. Mignon and Phyllis will be going to Utah for training February 16 to 19.
This is part of the contract with Dynix. The Library will close for a brief period
during the migration from Winnebago to Dynix.
New Business
Next month the Circulation Policy will be reconsidered. The Library staff would
like to shorten the checkout periods and make other changes. They will be
presented to the Board at the February meeting.
On January 13 Tom Proctor and Shirley Burnett will be doing a presentation on
the Internet policy to the City Council. The Council will consider the approval of
the policy on January 27. All of the Library Board members were encouraged to
attend both meetings.
The Board and Commission Dinner is scheduled for February 26, 1998.
The Library staff has been recruiting volunteers and there has not been a big
response. Only three forms have been received and 1100 were sent out to the
schools. Mignon is going to schedule to talk with the NHS and PALS group to
do some more recruiting.
