APPROVAL OF BILLS (Terry moved to approve,Liz seconded)
Periodicals' expenses higher this period. Discussed alternative vendors, but no cost advantage
known to exist.
DIRECTOR'S REPORT—Ann
Meeting Room Policy will be reviewed by Board in January. This timing of this discussion time,
called for by the Library By-laws, will provide an opportunity to talk about several recently
rejected room use requests
WorldCat application forms have been requested for this service that permits worldwide book
searches. Users could experience som.e lockout conditions since all Idaho library users combined
are limited to 10 simultaneous log-ons. While this service helps locate books, it does not have
any type of interlibrary loan link.
State-wide Courier Service will not save library any money unless we have higher volume of use
than today. Potential use will be tracked over time for future consideration.
3M Self Check System order, for one device only, will be placed soon for a January delivery. It
is important that we not take delivery until after the tax dollars are received.
Lynx budget projection of$5,500 will come out short because revised site contribution formula
calls for $15,000. This is required to cover equipment upgrade that is being spread over a
smaller number of sites due to delays in adding Boise branch locations.
Local Courier Service expense is also more than projected due to increased demand.
Chamber Meeting being held at library on December 11, 2001.
Consistency of Local Library Patron Service Policies discussion continues. At issue are such
concerns as library card sharing, filtering methods and tools, plus various material checkout rules.
COMMITTEE REPORTS- none
UNFINISHED BUSINESS—Stan and others
City continues to have concerns about positioning of Satellite Dish as originally approved in
building plan. Discussion with vendor suggests the Dish can be lowered to within 1 foot of roof
and placed at an angle so not much will be above wall. Stan will propose this solution at the next
City Council meeting.
NEW BUSINESS-Ann
After reviewing one Board members experience with harassment style phone calls, Board
members proposed policy that, in addition to writing a letter care of the Library address, or
requesting an opportunity to speak at a Library Board Meeting, Library staff can provide patrons
with Board member e-mail addresses when communications with Board are desired. It was also
agreed that whatever any one Board member receives should be forwarded to everyone else.
ADDITIONAL ITEMS OR PUBLIC COMMENT- none
