Minutes were approved as read from the May 12, 2003, meeting.
3. Discuss and Act Upon Approval of the Noise Policy.
The board decided to add three action steps to the process of asking someone to
discontinue use of the library. They asked Mignon to revise the signage on safety
rules and make the signs bigger and more noticeable. The policy was tabled until
the next meeting. Mignon will come back with a revised policy.
4. Discuss and Act Upon Approval of the Revised Circulation Policy.
The board voted to revise the circulation policy to cover fines for paperbacks and to
charge a $3.00 processing fee for AV materials returned without cases. Changes
will take affect on September 1, 2003. Mignon will post the changes on the website
and put an article in the August newsletter.
DISCUSSION ITEMS
5. Discuss Monthly and Quarterly Report.
The Library had increases in all areas in the month of June and the quarter. There
were 352 new cards signups in June.
6. Discuss Supreme Court CIPA Ruling.
The Supreme Court voted in the later part of June to require filtering for all libraries
that receive erate funding. Mignon checked into the ruling further through TSLAC
and ALA. Both agencies agreed that the Smith Public Library doesn't have to filter
because we are using funds for pots lines and t-1 lines only.
