Lynn introduced Donna Piscione, BPL Adult Services supervisor .
She talked about collection assessment . Board members got copies
of Collection Level Indicators plus a sample page from the BPL
assessment . It is important for small libraries to do collection
assessments because of tight budgets and to help us set future
goals. Patron requests for books are considered . Board members
asked questions to focus their perceptions on what we want the
assessment to do for the EPL. We see this as an on-going
process. Have other small libraries done this? No . We also
discussed using volunteers for doing some of the work .

pursuing this mission statement .
