not the time slot to give formal testimony on a new business item or pending application or proposal. Out of courtesy
for all who wish to speak, the Board requests each speaker limit their comments to three (3) minutes.
6. REPORTS
a. Director’s Report
i. Circulation was up in December and January. Print items circulation is up, but digital item
circulation is down. The Libraries Consortium is considering moving to 501C3; this would expand
the courier service, which would improve access to materials. The Consortium would require a
director and a cataloger, which could take pressure off Boise Library staff. Shared resource of
catalog would be more readily shared amongst consortium members. All parties seemed on board.
Next steps are further definition, but the group is still a few months away from a vote.
ii. Ryza asked to see attendance numbers for programming events. Lewis asked how library visitors
are compared to pre-pandemic levels. Steve indicated visitors are equivalent to 2018 levels.
b. Friends of the Eagle Public Library Report
The Friends of the Library are active and preparing for a community book sale later in the spring.
They have seen strong donations and participating volunteers.
c. Library Liaison/ City Hall Reports
The City Hall renovation is on track to be finished on time. Estimates are that construction will be
finished in April, and the building will be open to the public in May. The Friends of the Library can
discuss using some City Hall space when the project is finished.
