sale have been submitted to Powell's (December 2 - 6).
Cooperative Library Advisory Board: Continuing discussion on the
standards for admission of new libraries to WCCLS. (April meeting will be
held 4/13).
Library as Revenue Source: Suggestions are being made, and reported in the media, that
libraries should consider how they might use their popular services to
generate revenue. One of the most visible debates is going on in
Multnomah County. There were two fee related issues on the WCCLS,
Professional Advisory Board agenda last month. Since public libraries are
traditionally a tax supported - "free" • service, Davis suggested the issue
be carefully considered and parameters established defining what services
should or should not remain free. Hartzell requested background reading
material representing diverse views on the issue. The Board asked to be
notified when the issue will appear on the CLAS agenda so representatives
may attend.
Role Setting As part of the ongoing library planning process,the planning committee will
be participating in a service prioritization exercise that will help in defining
the library's role in the community. This process will be lead by a
representative from the Oregon State Library. City Council has been
invited to participate and additional Board members are welcome. Dates
for those interested will be April 19, 26, and May 27, 8:30 - 10:00 a.m, in
the library office.
Modification of Study Room Access: After considerable debate which included concern for
students having equal access to the study room, the Board voted to
recommend that access to the area be modified to allow entry by key only.
Staff will be able to store equipment in one end of the room and keep a
work table that would also be made available to tutors as requested. The
vote was 3 to 2, in favor.
Open House: Hartzell shared draft of notes taken at "tour training" session. Davis will
edit and redistribute. Grossen and Kostol volunteered to give library tours
at the open house for City Employees, May 3, 7:30 - 8:30 a.m.
In-House Training Day: The library's annual In-House Training Day will be held
Friday, April 30. The library will be closed to the public that day.
