CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
Mark Roath provided an update for the Library Board on the City Bond Project.
Architect interviews have been conducted. Construction Manager interviews will be
conducted. The firms will be narrowed down to two to three choices for Council to
approve. One of the first tasks will be to determine location of the buildings. The
proposed site will be the Council's decision.
PRESENTATION
DISCUSSION ITEMS
The Circulation Policy was approved. It was suggested that changes be made as
we move into the new building. The Library Board wanted to phase in changes
rather than do them all at once when we move in so that patrons do not have to get
used to changes all at once. Changes include: DVD check-outs will be limited to
ten; extended use fees will be notified by phone only with one mailed final notice;
claims returned will be charged. For fine increases, the Library will wait until
October, 2006.
The Exhibits/Literature Policy was approved.
The Collection Development Policy was approved. Changes were made to the
Young Adult and DVD/Video/Electronic sections. The section above "Gifts and
Donations" was deleted because it is repeated in the Children's section.
STAFF REPORTS
Rachel informed the Library Board about mid-year budget. The Library asked for
Envisionware Software and reimbursement for the temporary services position in
Special Services.
OMR ITEMS
The meeting was adjourned at 8 p.m.
