Monthly Report for July was summarized by Interim Library Director. Summer
Reading has shown highest participation rate to date for TPL. Educational
Services continues to have low enrollment for Summer Camp activities.
WCCLS adjusted circulation figures upward to compensate for major
downtimes in June. George Fox College has submitted a proposal for
guidelines to operate the Business Collection to be housed at TPL beginning
in September. Staff will discuss. A summary was given of June's patron
problems including an increase in book complaints, a flasher, a voyeur, and
restroom vandalism.
Friends of the Library: Susan Mueller reported that the book sale in the foyer
is going well. New brochure has brought in over a dozen new members. FOL
will plan a holiday book sale of new books by working with Powell's.
Cooperative Library Advisory Board (CLAB): Yvonne Burgess summarized
July's meeting. New circulation formula will reimburse each circulation at 1.55
the first levy year, 1.61 the second and 1.68 the third. The make-whole
payment will be eliminated. "Grants" will be given to provide money for
reference materials to libraries on the following formula: $1,000 for every
100,000 annual circulations. TPL would receive $4,000.
Library Board Position Statement: There was discussion regarding the Council and
Administration's position on this issue. Board decided it was acceptable for
them, as a citizen board, to have opinions outside those held by the
Administration and to express them to the public after notifying the Council.
A motion was made by Hartzell to accept the amended version of the position
statement. Kostol moved that the statement go to Council and to the Oregon
Library Association.
"Heather Has Two Mommies": Letter from patron and Interim Director's response were shared.
Discussion on subsequent patron interactions on similar issues. DeBemardis
commended Interim Director on her handling of these situations. Kostol
requested that the number of circulations on these materials be monitored and
reported for the Board's information.
WCCLS Phone Survey: As a result of the phone survey, we have a list of citizens who have
requested a speaker visit their club or organization to provide additional
information on WCCLS and the Tigard Library. Kostol will call these people
for follow-up and discern their time constraints. Hartzell, Kostol, Grossen,
Burgess said they would visit group in tandem with staff representative.
Council Goals: Interim Director reviewed summary of Council Goals with Board. Library
specific objectives included activity with the John Tigard House; continued
volunteer use; implementation of electronic databases and development of
Information Workstation. An update was given on the Indoor Park and its
relationship to Metzger Park.
Adjournment: 8:30 p.m.
Respectfully Submitted,
Kathy L. Davis
Interim Director
