Reports: Minutes for August 8, 1991 were corrected by Yvonne Burgess. The
second sentence in the section on the Cooperative Library Advisory
Board should read, "She displayed copies of a proposed new logo and
slogan for the Washington County Cooperative Library Service
(WCCLS)." Minutes were approved as corrected.
Monthly Report for August was reviewed by Library Director. There
was discussion on how soon the personal computers would be out for
public use. . Library Director reported that staff was entering new
software to prevent introduction of viruses and unauthorized storage on
the hard disc. The policy is being strengthened to preclude patron
challenges and complaints.
City Administrator: Pat Reilly, City Administrator for the City of Tigard, arrived at 7:15 pm
to discuss budget/fiscal considerations in planning for expansion of the
library. He reviewed the City's financial situation, implications of
Measure 5, and the City Council's stance on managing the City's
resources during the next five years. The precariousness of a new
WCCLS levy as part of the county's tax responsibility was discussed.
In discussion regarding a possible bond election for building the
expansion, Reilly told the Board that the City Council would be looking
for a "demonstrated commitment" from the citizens of Tigard.
Reports Cont.: Friends of the Library report was presented by Yvonne Burgess. The
Friends sold ice cream bars at the City Hall patio on September 7 ir.
conjunction with the City's Birthday Celebration.
The Cooperative Library Advisory Board {CLAS) meeting for September
10 was canceled. Yvonne Burgess, city representative, reported that
Pat Reilly will replace Carolyn Eadon as the alternate representative.
Collection Development Policy: The draft presented to the Board was discussed and
three changes were made. Language was simplified in describing the
physical maintenance of books and the listing of subject areas. The
format schedule for assessment will not have dates for completion
inasmuch as this project is greatly affected by availability of staff time
and receipt of reports from WCCLS. In addition, staff will check for
later demographic information in the section called "Community and
User Groups."
Library Expansion Program: The Board reviewed some of the information presented by
Reilly. At the next meeting, the Board will begin exploring various
strategies for an expansion program.
Library Issues Update:
1 The Library Director reviewed recent developments at the State
Library.
2) In response to the proposed VISION 2000 statement, there was
discussion on the validity of promoting library consolidation in lieu
of networks and cooperatives.
3) An article from the Library Journal, regarding problems with
transients as experienced by librarians in New Jersey, was briefly
reviewed.
Adiournment: 8:10 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Irene Ertell
Library Director
