5. PUBLIC COMMENT:
This time is reserved for the public to address the Eagle Public Library Board of Trustees
regarding concerns or comments they would like to provide to the Board regarding subjects
not on the agenda. This is 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.
Jonah Costa. Jonah introduces himself as a home schooled, 71h grade student. He would
like the Board to consider changing the minimum age for reserving the study rooms at the
Eagle Library. Every Tuesday he visits the Eagle Library from 9:30 to 11:30 while his Mom
attends a meeting down the street. During his time at the library there is a morning news
chat from 9:30 to 10:30, which can be loud. He would like to be able to use the study
rooms during this time, but minimum age to use the study rooms is 14 and he is 13. Jonah
has researched policies at other cities and they are all younger than 14 years or have no
minimum age listed. He requests that the minimum age be changed so that he can use the
rooms to study.
Chairman Hopkins states that the Board does not take action at this time. However, they
will discuss the request with the Library Director, and action may be agendized at the next
meeting. She thanks him for his time and comments tonight.
