Report Minutes for November 9, 1989 were approved as written. There was
no regular meeting in December. The Board met on December 11 in
its Annual Workshop with City Council.
Monthly Report was distributed by Library Director. There was
discussion regarding the Library's successful efforts to involve
more young adults in library activities and in using the resources.
Friends of the Library report was given by Susan Mueller. The
Friends recently made a gift of $2,600 to the Library to purchase
books. They have received approximately $700 from the annual
solicitation letter. They sold ten entertainment 190 books and
plan to sell at least 50 this next season.
Cooperative Library Advisory (CLAB) report was a discussion
led by Pat Reilly, City Administrator; Carolyn Eadon, City
Councilor; and Yvonne Burgess, CIAB Representative. Discussion
centered on the amount of the new levy which is double the current
levy and the fact that Tigard will receive considerably less than
it pays in under the new formula. Council's position regarding the
levy and Tigard's fallback position if the levy fails were also
points of discussion.
Collection Development Policy: Monahan and Wismer reported that the Comnittee
has begun writing introductory portions of the policy.
Recognition Board: Library Director reported that Luminite Signs has submitted
a bid of $1,182, donating the names at material costs. There will
no charge for labor. Drawings will be available at the next
meeting.
Role of Library Board: Monahan presented her concerns regarding the Board's
responsibility as an advisory group to City Council rather than a
participant in daily operations of the Library. Councilor Eadon
expressed her concern that the Municipal Code probably needs to be
revised to clarify the Board's position and to reflect current
operations. Chairman DeBernardis stated that the Board should
return to the issue at a later date.
