Reports: Minutes for November 12, 1991 were approved as written. (The
December meeting was canceled).
Monthly Reports for November and December were reviewed by Library
Director. There was discussion regarding increased volunteer
participation and continued high circulation.
Friends of the Library report was presented by Yvonne Burgess. The
Friends sold 100 Entertainment '92 books for a profit of$800. Two index
tables were purchased for the library in memory of Friends Terri Frye and
Ray Coffeen. The annual solicitation letter has added $400 to the
Friends' fund.
Cooperative Library Advisory Board (CLAB) report was presented by
Yvonne Burgess. Intel has asked for information on Winds of support they
might give the county libraries- WCCLS professional board will be
discussing the proposal and making recommendations.
Budget 1992-1993: Library Director briefly reviewed the budget schedule and general aspects
of the requests to be made. The City's policy is to maintain current levels
of service. The Board asked to see a copy of the library's proposed
budget at the February meeting.
Library Expansion Pro-gram: The Library Director distributed a memo from the City of Tigard
Finance Director. The memo outlined the City's policy regarding the use
of WCCLS funds. No WCCLS funds are to be used for capital programs.
It is suggested that a bond measure would be an appropriate way to
provide funds for expansion of the facility.
Joint Meeting, City Council: A tentative date, February 25, 1992, had been set for a meeting
with the City Council. Since several Board members will be unable to
attend on that date, the Library Director will ask for a new date and notify
members. Board members plan to discuss impacts of Measure 5,
expansion of the library facility and the continued circulation growth.
Correspondence: The Library Director read a letter addressed to the Library Board from
Tim Pied, a regular library user. He expressed concerns regarding the
library rules on the use of public computers. The matter was discussed
and several changes were suggested. The Board expressed its concern
that the computers be available to as many people as possible without
becoming a problem for staff to manage. Library Director will prepare a
reply to Pied for the signature of DeBernardis.
Library Cards for the Homeless: The Library Director explained that under current policy each
person applying for a library card must provide a valid mailing address.
Several "homeless" people have asked for cards but have no address.
The library staff would like to issue cards to anyone who is staying in a
shelter or receiving services from an agency - using the shelter and
agency addresses. The Board discussed the issue and advised that they
felt this would be appropriate.
Registration for Users Under 12 Years Old: The Library Director explained that current policy
requires a parent's signature for applicants who are under 12. The library
staff would like to register everyone without this requirement. Instead,
the staff proposed sending letters to parents of all applicants under 18 so
that they will be aware that their minor child has a card and that parents
are liable for their debts. The letter will also encourage parents to
participate in their child's reading program. The Board advised that this
policy change was appropriate.
Adjournment: 8:30 p.m.
Respectfully Submitted,
