ACTION ITEMS
1. Approval of the Minutes.
Minutes were approved as read from the August 12, 2002, meeting.
2. Discuss and Act Upon Approval of the Revised Circulation Policy.
The Library recommended adding a limit to the number of interlibrary loans
someone can request in one week. Request was unlimited and now there
is a limit of five per week.
DISCUSSION ITEMS
3. Discuss Monthly Report and Library Card Month Activities.
Circulation figures were comparable to September 2001. There was less
than a one percent increase. Other statistics reflect high library usage.
Programs are planned for Library Card Month. The Friends of the Library
are offering a trial run Coffee Bar this month. Plans are to make the
Library's bluebonnet Room a reading room when groups are not using it
for meetings.
4. Discuss Library Budget.
The Library's operating budget had minimal increases this year. The major
purchase items are in the 46 budget. They are an air conditioning unit for
the computer room and additional shelving for the adult collection, and a
significant increase in books.
ADJOURNMENT
The meeting adjourned at 7:35 p.m.
