Mayor
Friends of the Eagle Public Library Donation Request. There was some correspondence between the
Friends of the Library and the Mayor. The Mayor is requesting a donation to help establish a site plan
or study for future expansion of the Eagle Public Library. The Friends of the Library want to help and
want to work as a team with the Library Board to come up with a plan. The Friend of the Library will
be meeting with the mayor on June 191h. Almon suggested scheduling a working meeting with the
Friends of the Library to discuss library expansion.
B. ACTION ITEM: Interlibrary Loan Policy: Discussion regarding changes to interlibrary loan.
Interlibrary Loan Policy. Steve suggested changing the policy to allow each library patron to only
have 1 active interlibrary loan in process at a time. This will help keep things organized. This will
have very little impact. Almon motioned to adopt the new policy and Moore seconded. The motion
passed unanimously
C. ACTIONITEM. Tiered Library Accounts: Discussion regarding the possibility of implementing
tiered library accounts.
Tiered Library Accounts. Steve researched the possibility of creating a tiered library card system.
Because of the consortium format, all libraries would have to adopt the same system. The other
libraries have no interest in adopting this policy. In order for Eagle to implement this, we would have
to withdraw from the local consortium. The software system isn't capable of having a separate card
system for a tiered card system. No action taken.
D. ACTIONITEM. Collection Development Policy. DRAFT - Collection Development 20240619
Collection Development Policy. The current policy was adopted in 2024. Almon suggested several
updates to the current policy. Hopkins suggested scheduling a working session to consider the
updates line by line. All members agreed to scheduling a working meeting for the Collection
Development Policy.
E. ACTIONITEM: Proposed FY 2025-2026 Budget
Proposed FY 2025-2026 Budget. Steve presented the budget as a basically flat budget from the
previous year. Almon motions to accept the budget, Moore seconds. The motion passes
unanimously.
8. ADJOURNMENT
Almon moves to adjourn, Moore seconds and it passes unanimously at 6:42pm.
