TIGARD LIBRARY BOARD
June 12, 1997
MINUTES
Call to Order: 7:00 p.m., by Chair Lonn Hoklin.
Roll Call: Larry Beck, Tammy Gustin, Lonn Hoklin, Nancy Irwin, Chris Lewis, and
Angus McKay. Staff: Kathy Davis. Guests: Sue Kasson and Pat Harper.
Minutes: Beck moved to approve the minutes for May as corrected, seconded by
McKay. Motion passed unanimously.
The Board introduced themselves to new members, Sue Kasson and Pat
Harper. Kasson and Harper will begin their terms with the July 10 meeting.
Reports: May Monthly Report: 'New equipment has been ordered to re-establish
Internet access through the library's computer system. Should be in place
and online in July or August. Board discussed the contents of the letter
regarding their concern for continued access to the Internet. It was decided
that the letter should still be sent, but with some changes. The Children's
Division visited several schools to kick-off the Summer Reading Program.
Friends of the Library: There was not a Friends meeting in May. They were
able to get back the $50 sign permit fee for the Librarysign that is located
on the Hall Street side of the library. There will be a "new book" sale in the
Puett Room on June 20th and 21st. The Friends will receive 10 percent of
the total earnings. Also, a booksale in July will be held in the courtyard
between City Hall and the library to sell used books by the foot.
After the report, Chair Hoklin, on behalf of the Board, presented Susan
Mueller of the Friends with a bouquet of flowers thanking her for all the
efforts she and the Friends put forth during the budget process.
CLAB: Before the passage of Measure 47, CLAB members were
discussing the possibilities of a Capital Improvements Levy. With the
passage of Measure 47, all possibilities were put on hold. Since Measure
50 passed, several cities have decided to look more closely at their own
space issues and take some time to see what can be accomplished locally
before making any decisions to continue with a Capital Improvements Levy.
The topic of the Capital Improvements Levy will appear on the CLAB
agenda in September. At that time, CLAB can get an idea of which way the
members want to go.
Tigard City Council has discussed space issues for the City Hall and Library
facilities. There are mixed views with moving the library off-site, or
expanding the existing library and parking area on-site. The Space Task
Force Committee is made up of Library Board members, Police Advisory
members, and staff from the Library, Police, and City Administrative
Departments. Hoklin and Beck volunteered to be Library Board
representatives to serve on the Committee and McKay and Irwin as
alternates.
Budget Update -Additional Staff Hours:
With the passage of Measure 50, the library will start its 1997/98 fiscal year on a positive
note. The library will fill the vacancy in the Reader's Services Division and will add 40
additional hours to equal one F.T.E. Twenty hours will go to staff the Reference Desk
during evenings and weekends, twelve hours will go to the Circulation Division to cover
the Circulation desk on Saturdays and Sundays, and eight additional hours will go to the
Technical Services Division to increase processing time for incoming materials.
Coffee Cart Issue:
The Commission for the Blind have been unsuccessful in locating a vendor to house a
coffee cart for the library. Director sent formal letter under O.R.S. offering two weeks to
respond. The Friends of the Library will research outside vendors to contract for the
coffee cart. Revenue will go to the Friends.
Capital Improvement: Discussed under CLAB report.
Other Business:
Board discussed agenda for July's new member orientation and regular meeting.
Goodbye to Outgoing Members:
Board expressed appreciation to Lewis and Busch for their participation as members of
the Tigard Library Board.
Adjournment: Irwin moved to adjourn meeting at 7:55 p.m., seconded by Gustin. Motion
passed unanimously.

MEMORANDUM
TIGARD PUBLIC LIBRARY
TO: Bill Monahan, City Manager
FROM: Kathy Davis, Director of Library Service
DATE: July 8, 1997
SUBJECT: Monthly Report, June 1997
• Circulation Way Up: After very modest increases in circulation for May, June
checkouts jumped to 22.5 percent above 1996 figures. 381 new users were
registered. We have also had a 34.7 percent increase in use by Multnomah County
residents and a 21.9 percent increase by Clackamas County residents during this time
period.
• Self Check Use Growing: The Self Check-Out machine is easy enough to use that
customers are not taking advantage of our daily "how-to" training sessions. Parent-to-
child and friend-to-friend demonstrations seem to be adequate to handle the training
needs. 17 percent of all checkouts (544 items) were handled by the machine on
June 16.
• Intensive Training: Following through with the library's strategic plan for staff training,
many employees are upgrading their skills in computer use, reference tools, customer
service, and communication skills. Continuing education is as important to library staff
as it is to teachers in order to keep up with constantly changing techniques and
technology.
• "Customer Comment Card": Circulation has developed a form to enable customers to
voice their compliments, or concerns to staff. We are using this as an informal "exit
poll" to determine the level of satisfaction with library services and the collection. This
activity is related to Goal III of the Library Strategic Plan.
• "Alternative Funding" Sources: Responding to input from the Tigard Beyond
Tomorrow process, staff members are beginning to explore alternative methods of
supplementing resources for the library's collection. An idea being worked on by the
Reader's Services Division is that of"sponsored" collections. A business, club, or civic
group would be asked to sponsor a certain portion of the collection (ex: gardening
books; children's videos; business magazines, etc.) A tasteful recognition plaque
could indicate sponsorship. Rotary will receive the first presentation of this idea at
their August meeting.
• Nationally Renowned!: Sharon Brunk, Adult Services Librarian, has sent out
information packets on our Adult Reading contest to libraries from Washington,
Nevada, and Texas. These other libraries read about our successful program on the
Internet.
• Summer Readina: Almost 1,300 children are registered for the Summer Reading
program. Over 300 of them attended the first "Feature Program," The Great Artismo.
• Recruitments: Circulation will be adding three new people in July. The Technical
Services Specialist recruitment closed with one applicant (Diana Lauterbach). We
hope to have the promotion effective by July 14. The Youth Services position closes
July 7.
• Coffee Service: Friday, July 11 is the last day for interested vendors to submit their
proposals for a library Espresso Service. Only one vendor has submitted a proposal
at this time.
• Out-of-M.I.X. (Metropolitan Interlibrary Exchange) Area Card Fee: Beginning
September 1, 1997, all Washington County libraries will begin charging a $60 per year
fee for out-of-M.I.X. area library cards. (The M.I.X. agreement allows residents of
Multnomah, Clackamas, Washington, and Clark Counties to use any library in the
area free of charge.) $60 equates to the average annual cost per household paid in
taxes for library services in Washington County. Library and other City employees
living in Yamhill or Marion Counties could still be issued a free card good at TPL only,
or the City may wish to pay for a "full service" card as a benefit.
• Volunteers: Jean Lindsay interviewed and placed 15 new volunteers this month. She
is also working with Diana Lauterbach to get all of the volunteer registration and
record information computerized. As staff liaison to the Friends, Jean also assisted
with organizing this months book sale of new books. The Friends netted about $250
from this activity.

Tigard City Hall

Tigard, OR 97223
Dear Paul:
This letter is in response to the continuing lack of public access to the Internet in the
Tigard Public Library. Up until February, the Tigard Library shared a line with other
Washington County agencies in a spirit of mutual cooperation and agreement. This
agreement allowed citizens of Tigard and the surrounding area public access to the
Internet. There are still many people who do not own computers who would benefit
greatly from the ability to reach the Internet and the vast resources it provides, via their
local public library. Statistics show that this service was very popular. Each month
before the service was terminated there were more than 100 users.
The Tigard Library seeks to partially fulfill its mission of providing "world class
information services" by facilitating public access to the Internet. While the security
concerns raised by some Bandwidth User Group members are valid, we feel the needs
of all members should be addressed with equal consideration and in as timely manner
as possible. We urge you as Tigard's representative to the Bandwidth User Group to
implement, as soon as possible, the means you have determined to be necessary to
allow the library to regain this vital information service. Thank you for your attention to
this matter.
Sincerely,
Tigard Library Board

The American Library Association affirms that all libraries are forums for
information and ideas, and that the following basic policies should guide
their services.
1. Books and other library resources should be provided for the interest,
information, and enlightenment of all people of the community the library
serves. Materials should not be excluded because of the origin, background,
or views of those contributing to their creation.
2. Libraries should provide materials and information presenting all
points of view on current and historical issues. Materials should not be pro-
scribed or removed because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval.
3. Libraries should challenge censorship in the fulfillment of their re-
sponsibility to provide information and enlightenment.
4. Libraries should cooperate with all persons and groups concerned
with resisting abridgment of free expression and free access to ideas.
5. A person's right to use a library should not be denied or abridged
because of origin,age,background, or views.
6. Libraries which make exhibit spaces and meeting rooms available to
the public they serve should make such facilities available on an equitable
basis, regardless of the beliefs or affiliations of individuals or groups request-
_ ing their use.

0 THE FREEDOM TO RE
This statement was originally issued in May 1953 by the Westchester
Conference of the American Library Association and the American Book
Publishers Council, which in 1970 consolidated with the American
Educational Publishers Institute to become the Association of Anicric.111
Publishers. Adopted June 25, 1953. Revised January 28, 1972, by 111C
ALA Council.
The freedom to read is essential to our democracy. It is continuously under attack.
Private groups and public authorities in various parts of the country are working to
remove books from sale, to censor textbooks, to label "controversial" books, to
distribute lists of "objectionable" books or authors, and to purge libraries. These
actions apparently rise from a view that our national tradition of free expression is
no longer valid; that censorship and suppression are needed to avoid the subversion
of politics and the corruption of morals. We, as citizens devoted to the use of books
and as librarians and publishers responsible for disseminating them, wish to assert
the public interest in the preservation of the freedom to read. We arc deeply
concerned about these attempts at suppression. Most such attempts rest on a denial
of the fundamental premise of democracy: that the ordinary citizen, by exercising
his critical judgment, will accept the good and reject the bad. The censors, public
and private, assume that they should determine what is good and what is bad for
their fellow-citizens.
)Xc trust Americans to recognize propaganda, and to reject it. We do not believe
thl,v need the help of censors to assist them in this task. We do not believe they -arc
prepared to sacrifice their heritage of a free press in order to be "protected" against
what others think may be bad for them. We believe they still favor free enterprise
in ideas and expression.
We are aware, of course, that books are not alone in being subjected to efforts at
suppression. We are aware that these efforts are related to a larger pattern of
pressures being brought against education, the press, films, radio, and television.
The problem is not only one of actual censorship. The shadow of fear cast by these
pressures leads, we suspect, to an even larger voluntary curtailment of expression by
those who seek to avoid controversy.
Such pressure toward conformity is perhaps natural to a time of uneasy change and
pervading fear. Especially when so many of our apprehensions are directed against
an ideology, the expression of a dissident idea becomes a thing feared in itself, and
we tend to move against It as against a hostile deed, with suppression.
And yet suppression is never more dangerous than in such a time of social tension.
Freedom has given the United States the elasticity to endure strain. Freedom keeps
open the path of novel and creative solutions, and enables change to come by choice.
Every silencing of a heresy, every enforcement of an orthodoxy, diminishes the
toughness and resilience of our society and leaves it the less able to deal with stress.
Now as always in our history, books arc among our greatest instruments of freedom.
They are almost the only means for making generally available ideas or manners of
expression that can initially command only a small audience. They arc a natural
medium for the new idea and the untried voice from which come the original
contributions to social growth. They arc essential to the extended discussion which
serious thought requires, and to the accumulation of knowledge and ideas into
organized collections.
The Freedom to Read
We believe that free communication is essential to the preservation of a free society
and a creative culture. We believe that these pressures towards conformity present
the danger of limiting the range and variety of inquiry and expression on which
our democracy and our culture depend. We believe that every American community
must jealously guard the freedom to publish and to circulate, in order to prescrve its
own freedom to read. We believe that publishers and librarians have a profound
responsibility to give validity to that freedom to read by making it possible for the
readers to choose freely from a variety of offerings.
The freedom to read is guaranteed by the Constitution. Those with faith in free
men will stand firm on these constitutional guarantees of essential rights and will
exercise the responsibilities that accompany these rights.
We therefore affirm these propositions:
1. It is in the public interest for publishers and librarians to make available the
widest diversity of views and expressions, including those which arc unorthodox or
unpopular with the majority_
Creative thought is by definition new, and what is new is different. The
bearer of every new thought is a rebel until his idea is refined and tested.
Totalitarian systems attempt to maintain themselves in power by the ruthless
suppression of any concept which challenges the established orthodoxy. The
power of a democratic systcm to adapt to change is vastly strengthened by the
freedom of its citizens to choose widely from among conflicting opinions
offered freely to them. To stifle every nonconformist idea at birth would mark-
the
arkthe end of the democratic process. Furthermore, only through the constant
activity of weighing and selecting can the democratic mind attain the strength
demanded by times like these. We need to know not only what we believe but
why we believe it.
2. Publishers, librarians, and booksellers do not need to endorse every idea or
presentation contained in, the books they make available. It would conflict with
public interest for them to establish their own political, moral, or aesthetic views as
a standard for determining what books should be published or circulated.
Publishers and librarians serve the educational process by helping to make
available knowledge and ideas required for the growth of the mind and the
increase of learning. They do not foster education by imposing as mentors the
patterns of their own thought. The people should have the freedom to read and
consider a broader range of ideas than those that may be held by any single
librarian or publisher or government or church. It is wrong that what one man
can read should be confined to what another thinks proper.
3. It is contrar-y to the public interest for publishers or librarians to determine the
acceptability of a book 'on the basis of the personal history or political affiliations
of the author.
A book should be judged as a book. No art or literature can flourish if it is to
be measured by the political views or private lives of its creators. No society
of free men can flourish which draws up lists of writers to whom it will not
listen, whatever they may say.
- 5 -
The Frccdom to Read
d. There is no place in our society for efforts to coerce the taste of others, to
confine adults to the reading matter deemed suitable for adolescents, or to inhibit
the efforts of writers to achieve artistic expression.
To sonic, much of modern literature is shocking. But is not much of lifc
shocking? We cut off literature at the source if we prevent writers from
dealing with the stuff of life. Parents and teachers have a responsibility to
prepare the ground to meet the diversity of experiences in life to which they
will be exposed, as they have a responsibility to help them learn to think
critically for themselves. These are affirmative responsibilities, not to be
discharged simply by preventing them from reading works for which they arc
not yet prepared. In these matters taste differs, and taste cannot be legislated;
nor can machinery be devised which will suit the demands of one group
without limiting the freedom of others.
S. It is not in the public interest to force a reader to accept with any book the
prejudgment of a label characterizing the book or author as subversive or dangerous_
The idea of labeling presupposes the existence of individuals or groups with
wisdom to determine by authority what is good or bad for the citizen. It
presupposes that each individual must be directed in making up his mind about
the ideas he examines. But Americans do not need others to do their thinking-
for
hinkingfor them.
b. It is the responsibility of publishers and librarians, as guardians of the people's
freedom to read, to contest encroachments upon that freedom by individuals or
groups seeking to impose their own standards or tasted upon the community at large.
It is inevitable in the give and take of the democratic process that the political,
the moral, or the aesthetic concepts of an individual or group will occasionally
collide with those of another individual or group. In a free society each
individual is free to determine for himself what he wishes to read, and each
group is free to determine what it will recommend to its freely associated
members. But no group has the right to take the law into its own hands, and to
impose its own concept of politics or morality upon other members of a
democratic society. Freedom is no freedom if it is accorded only to the
accepted and the inoffensive.
7. It is the responsibility of publishers and librarians to give full meaning to the
freedom to read by providing books that will enrich the quality and diversity of
thought and expression_ By the exercise of his affirmative responsibility, bookmcn
can demonstrate that the answer to a bad book is a good one, the answer to a bad
idea is.a good one.
The freedom to read is of little consequence when expended on the trivial; it is
frustrated when the reader cannot obtain matter fit for his purpose. What is
needed is not only the absence of restraint. but the positive provision of
opportunity for the people to read the best that has been thought and said.
Books arc the major channel by which the intellectual inheritance is handed
down, and the principal means of its testing and growth. The defense of their
freedom and integrity, and the enlargement of their service to society, requires
of all bookmcn the utmost of their faculties, and deserves of all citizens the
fullest of their support.

The Frccdom IQ—R921
We state these propositions neither lightly nor as easy generalizations. We here
stake out a lofty claim for the value of books. We do so because we believe
that they are good, possessed of enormous variety and usefulness, worthy of
cherishing and keeping free. We realize that the application of these
propositions may mean the dissemination of ideas and manners of expression
that are repugnant to many persons. We do not state these propositions in the
comfortable belief that what people read is unimportant. We believe rather
that what people read is deeply important, that ideas can be dangerous; but that
the suppression of ideas is fatal to a democratic society. Freedom itself is a
dangerous way of life, but it is ours.

IV. RECONSIDERATION OF LIBRARY MATERIALS,:
As the Library strives to provide books and other materials for the interest, information, and
enlightenment of ail people in the community, it is inevitable that there will be disagreement on the
merit of various items. The Library selection staff is not able to read or review each item before
ordering, though it utilizes recognized review sources as much as possible.
Recognizing that we all have a right to disagree and question, the Library staff will try to determine
initially if the individual or group is seeking information as to why a particular item has been selected
or if they object to the availability of the item and wish to have it removed from the shelf or to restrict
access.
If the individual or group is only seeking information, the matter will be handled informally by a
professional librarian. This is an opportunity to explain the public library's mission and the guarantee
of our freedom to read under the First Amendment.
If the individual or group objects to the material being available and wishes to have the material
removed from the library, then they will be furnished with the "Request for Reconsideration of Library
Materials" form (see page 12) which must be filled out before the item will be reconsidered.
The Library Director will examine the item in question, seeking reviews and determining whether it
conforms to the standards as stated in the Selection of Library Materials. The Library Director will
decide whether to withdraw or restrict the material in question and will write to the complainant giving
the reasons for the decision.
If the complainant wishes to contest the Library Director's decision, the "Request for Reconsideration
of Library Materials* may be presented to the Library Board for review, either by letter or by making
prior arrangements to be on the agenda of a Library Board meeting. The Board will consider the
complaint and the Library Director's recommendations. The Library Board will make its decision
based on the standards as stated in Selection of Library Materials.
If the complainant contests the Library Board's decision, the matter will be referred to the City
Council.
