A
C

A
E
B
F
A
G
I've
done
a
lot
of
kind
of
public
finance
projects
so
anyway,
I've
always
kind
of
had
a
passion
for
public
spaces
and
how
they
add
to
the
community,
and
I
love
the
library,
I'm
a
boise
native,
been
here
my
whole
life,
my
kids
and
I
spend
lots
of
time
at
the
library.
Like
I
mentioned,
we
did
the
read
to
therapy
dog
last
weekend.
G
A
Right,
thank
you,
nikki.
Well,
welcome
to
nicki
and
bryan.
We
are
so
excited
to
have
both
of
you
joining
us
as
the
newest
trustees.
I
am
tanya
westonsko
and
I
am
finishing
up
my
last
year
of
my
two
turn
tenure
here
as
a
library
trustee
so
I'll
be
with
you
for
this
first
year
for
each
of
for
each
of
you,
I
am
a
banker
by
trade,
however,
have
just
always
had
such
a
drive
to
share
what
the
library
has
with
the
experience
with
our
community.
A
It
is
something
that
I
grew
up
with
my
children.
We
also
did
story
hour.
I
just
have
a
love
of
learning
from
the
library
perspective,
but
our
library,
as
you
both
will
find
out,
is
so
much
more
than
just
checking
out
books,
as
I'm
sure
you
are
starting
to
to
see
or
have
seen
in
your
personal
lives
as
well,
and
so
I
know
you
both
will
have
the
passion
that
that
the
rest
of
us
have
as
trustees
on
the
board
and
look
forward
to
your
active
participation
as
our
newest
trustee.
H
C
C
But
teaching
in
the
pandemic
is
a
real
thing
and
there
are
there's
no
coverage,
there's
no
sub,
so
the
teachers
we
really
take
care
of
each
other.
How
so
forgive
the
mask
and
the
setting
the
library
for
me
being
on
the
board
of
trustees,
is
the
library
is
really
an
extension
of
the
classroom
and
I
am
an
evangelist
for
public
education,
and
so
I
see
the
cooperation
and
the
collaboration
between
schools
and
libraries
is
absolutely
essential
for
kids.
A
K
A
H
I
L
Question
kelly's
still
with
the
city,
though
so,
oh
that's
good.
You
know
she
she's
just
doesn't
have
the
capacity
to
do
both
us
and
some
of
the
other
city
functions.
She
was
she
supports.
So
that's
why
we
have
ed
now
and
we
have
more
of
ed
than
kelly
was
able,
but
she's
always
a
backup
and
a
resource
for
him.
Thank
you.
H
A
A
Okay,
give
a
second
okay,
all
in
favor
aye.
All
right,
okay
motion
passes
for
the
meeting
minutes,
consent
agenda,
all
right
for
all
matters
on
the
consent
consent
agenda
may
be
either
approved
separately
or
in
a
single
motion,
and
so
for
sonia
and
phil.
We
have
the
payment
of
the
bills
and
payroll
as
well
as
the
financial
reports.
Do
I
have
a
motion.
H
A
C
I
J
J
J
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
brief
report
on
what
happened
with
the
boise
comic
arts
festival
for
us.
Normally,
as
you
know,
it's
a
two-day
event.
This
year
it
was
one
day
in
person,
one
day
hybrid,
so
normally
we
would
be
selling
things
at
the
event
for
the
full
two
days
we
were
there
for
one
day
this
time
we
still
managed
to
make
almost
twenty
six
hundred
dollars,
which
is
fantastic
last
year.
J
Obviously
we
didn't
make
anything,
because
it
was
all
virtual
and
there
was
nothing
nobody
to
sell
stuff
to,
but
the
two
prior
years
we
had
in
2019
we
had
made
forty
eight
hundred
dollars
and
in
twenty
eighteen,
thirty
nine
hundred
dollars,
but
we
did
manage
even
with
the
one
day
sale
to
outsell
our
2017
and
prior
numbers.
So
it
shows
that
there's
still
a
great
appetite
in
the
community
for
picking
up
some
of
the
some
of
the
stuff
that
we
get
donated
to
us
and
can
pass
on
into
new
hands.
J
So
we're
very
excited
about
that
this
year.
For
the
first
time,
we
also
offered
be
calf
t-shirts
for
sale
to
the
public
and
we
had
a
pretty
decent
response
about
50
of
the
shirts.
We
sold
went
to
library
staff
at
the
event,
and
then
we
sold
an
additional
50
percent
to
staff
members
for
families
and
friends,
but
also
to
the
public
and
that
went
really
well
next
year.
J
H
A
A
K
All
right,
it's
good
to
be
here.
Once
again,
my
name
is
brian
manship.
I
am
the
current
treasurer
of
the
foundation
board,
and
this
is
my
first
time
at
this
meeting
and-
and
I
represented
the
board-
and
I
thought
I'd
take
just
a
minute.
First
of
all,
to
kind
of
tell
everyone
what
the
board
is
doing
and
what
we're
about
the
the
foundation
has
about
15
board
members,
the
directors
on
the
board
currently
and
as
a
board.
K
We
really
have
three
functions.
There
are
three
missions:
one
is
to
raise
awareness
for
the
or
and
of
the
library
to
promote
or
to
make
others
aware
of
the
value
in
our
community
and
the
programs
that
are
available
number
two
to
raise
friends
for
the
library
and
number
three
to
raise
funds,
to
support
the
programs
to
support
the
mission
of
the
library
and
in
its
role
in
our
community
over
the
past
18
months
and
due
to
the
situation
of
the
pandemic,
we
have
not
met
as
a
full
board
for
almost
the
entire
18
months.
K
However,
the
the
executive
committee
has
been
meeting
on
a
regular
basis
and
meeting
and
meeting
with
jessica
as
well,
and
I'm
happy
to
report
that
we
are
finally
going
to
meet
tuesday,
the
14th
of
september
as
a
full
board
and
the
main
purpose.
Well,
not
the
main,
but
a
big,
significant
purpose
of
that
meeting
is
to
elect
a
new
chairperson
lynn.
K
A
B
L
I
L
Seeing
the
expected
uptick
in
usage-
and
that
is-
is
really
gratifying
for
us-
we
were.
We
were
also
cautious,
just
knowing
how
challenging
the
cobit
situation
is
now
and
really
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
had
sort
of
redundant
capacity
built
into
our
staffing
model.
Just
in
case
we
start
to
see
some
infections,
and
you
know
we
start
to
see
staff
either
having
illnesses
themselves
or
needing
to
be
quarantined
because
of
exposure
or
because
they're
working
with
have
families
that
they're
taking
care
of.
L
L
L
We
put
it
on
our
social
media,
we
have
signage,
but
that
piece
of
you
know
we
did
such
a
good
job
getting
all
of
our
programming
in
the
parks,
and
we
now
need
to
really
be
thoughtful
about
when
it
is
appropriate
to
cancel
that
great
program
in
the
park
and
then
finally,
I
just
want
to
reiterate
what
jill
said
and
thank
the
friends
for
their
support
of
the
boise
comic
arts
festival.
It
was
a.
B
L
Really
fun
event:
we
had
cosplay
of
all
age
groups
and
dogs.
We
had
vendors,
we
had,
you
know,
learning
how
to
draw
role,
how
to
do
how
to
create
your
fantasy
world,
how
to
do
dungeons
and
dragons
and
battles,
and
it
was
just
a
such
a
celebration
of
creativity
and
community
and
just
really
want
to
thank
their
friends
and
then
particularly
our
be
calf
team.
That
was,
you
know,
literally
adjusting,
as
we
went
up
to.
D
L
Because
we're
having
the
same
hiring
challenges
that
a
lot
of
the
public
and
private
sector
is
now
and
we
just
we
knew
we
were
having
two
key
people
on
boarded,
but
we
didn't
anyway.
So
we
didn't
want
to
wait
for
all
the
other
locations
when
they
were
ready
to
expand,
but
we
did
need
to
delay,
call
us
or
just
because
yeah
we
are
needing
to
have
staff
that
are
hired
and
onboarded
and
already
ready
to
be
working
with
the
public
is
really
is
the
real
driver
of
when
we
can
add
our
staff.
A
A
B
A
Wasn't
sure,
but
so
she
holds
those
every
two
weeks
and
it
is
held
with
all
the
team
members
of
all
of
our
locations
at
the
library
and
for
team
members
that
are
unable
to
attend.
It
live
on
person,
because
it's
then
it's
a
recorded,
call
that
they
can
watch
when
they
come
in
arrival
and
work
with
their
manager
to
give
them
an
opportunity
to
to
to
watch
it
and
catch
up
on
it.
A
I
learned
so
much
on
the
call
I
learned
I
saw
some
great
pictures
in
regards
to
the
comic
festival
team
is
very
engaged,
had
some
really
great
dialogue
back
and
forth
with
the
team,
but
on
behalf
of
the
board,
it
was
our
opportunity
to
visit
with
the
staff
and
thank
them
for
just
the
the
ability
to
staff,
brian
and
nikki
you're,
going
to
find
this
out.
We
work
with
some
of
the
best
staff
members
from
any
library
that
I'm
familiar
with
this
team
has
pivoted
immensely.
A
You
know:
can
we
find
all
these
locations
outside
at
parks
to
bring
the
the
topics
and
the
and
the
content
that
is
relevant
to
our
public
and
that
our
community
is
looking
for
hands
down?
This
team
has
worked
so
incredibly
hard
to
bring
that
to
the
table
and
they
they're
creative,
and
they
just
have
this
great-
can
do
just
aurora
about
them.
It's
it's
very
consistent,
and
so
I
stepped
onto
that.
A
I
I
crashed
jessica's
meeting
to
thank
the
staff
and
really
let
them
know
that
it's
really
their
safety
has
been
the
epicenter
of
what
we've
really
has
driven
our
decisions
on
a
lot
of
things.
Yes,
we
want
to
make
sure
we're
providing
the
appropriate
content
and
what
the
what
the
community
is
looking
for,
but
we
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
keeping
our
staff
very
safe
throughout
this
whole
process
when
we
tried
to
figure
this
out
and
they
have
just
rolled
up
their
sleeves
and
worked
so
incredibly
hard.
L
Okay,
you
know
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
that.
I've
heard
really
positive,
but
the
staff
reacted
really
positively
to
that,
and
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
the
ford
has
asked
me
is,
you
know
to
make
sure
that
you
know
you're
prioritizing
safety
of
the
staff
and
the
staff
are
really
curious
about
the
board
and
what
do
they
think
and
how
are
they
making
decisions,
and
so
you
know
finding
that
opportunity
for
you
to
be
part
of
that
staff
meeting.
I
think,
served
both
purposes.
It
did.
A
A
Okay,
all
right
so
for
new
stuff,
our
new
board
members.
This
will
be
a
great
one
so
that
education
item
coming
up.
We
have
kathy
stadler
on.
I
believe,
she's
gonna
review
the
collection,
development
and
intellectual
freedom
issues
in
the
library
community
today
and
do
we
have,
I
don't
see
kathy
so,
if
you're
here
kathy,
if
you
could,
I
meet
yourself.
M
A
M
M
E
M
So
I
supervise
the
group
that
does
the
collection
development
also
does
the
processing
of
items
brings
on
digital
content,
looks
through
contracts
and
things
we've
been
working
with
ed
quite
closely
on
some
contracts
lately,
which
has
been
great
so
yeah.
It's
it's
a
very
fun
role,
it's
kind
of
a
behind
the
scenes
role
and
it's
really
a
huge
part
of
what
we
do
as
a
library
and
yet
not
one
of
the
more
forward-facing
groups.
So
we
rely
heavily
on
our
public
facing
counterparts
in
order
to
give
us
information
and
feedback.
M
We
also
do
a
ton
of
data
analysis
and
that's
kind
of
part
of
what
I
want
to
talk
about
today
and
walk
through
some
of
the
different
things.
I
know
that
with
the
new
board
members
and
welcome
it's
great
to
have
new
board
members
and
it's
great
to
see
some
of
the
other
people
tanya
you've
been
with
us
a
long
time.
That's
been
wonderful,
so
so
it's
for
me.
M
M
Okay,
all
right,
so
hopefully
you
can
see
my
screen
collections,
the
inside
scoop,
and
what
I
want
to
talk
about
is
just
a
brief
touch
on
intellectual
freedom
and
then
digital
content,
a
story
with
statistics
and
then
mostly,
I
wanted
to
kind
of
get
into
your
questions.
What
you
are
interested
in
that
I
haven't
covered,
so
I
know
that
the
review
this
month
is
for
the
policy
is
to
look
at
the
collections,
part
of
the
manual.
M
So
I
know
you've
read
through
a
lot
of
that,
and
so
I
don't
want
to
spend
too
much
time
talking
about
some
of
that.
If
it
just
because
if
you've
already
read
it,
then
you
can
ask
me
questions
if
there's
anything
that
you
have.
You
want
more
information
on,
but
intellectual
freedom.
So
it's
really
the
foundation
of
what
we
do
with
our
collections.
M
We
I
put
up
the
definition
that
the
american
library
association
they
have
put
forward
for
what
intellectual
freedom
is
and
what
it
means
and
basically,
in
a
nutshell,
it's
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
provide
information
on
every
side
of
the
topic
that
we
can
and
we
do
take
that
very
seriously.
There
are
times
when
we
put
things
into
the
collection
that
you
know
on
a
personal
level.
We
don't
agree
with
or
on
a
professional
level.
We
think.
Oh,
I'm
not
sure
if
this
is
the
best
thing
that
we
want
to
put
out
there.
M
But
we
look
at
it
from
the
point
of
view
that
if,
if
there's
interest
from
our
community,
then
we
need
to
be
offering
what
we
can
on
the
topic.
So
from
that
point
of
view,
we
really,
I
think,
are
one
of
the
radical
places
in
the
world.
We
are
a
public
institution,
we're
one
of
a
few,
and
we
also
try
to
provide
information
on
every
side
of
the
topic.
M
It
isn't
something
that
makes
everybody
happy
all
the
time,
so
we
can,
it
can
be
pretty
contentious.
Sometimes
and
interestingly
enough,
though
we
don't
see
a
lot
of
requests
for
reconsiderations
come
through
on
a
formal
level.
So
we
do,
I
think,
a
pretty
good
job
of
explaining.
You
know
why
we
do
what
we
do
we're
offering
things
to
the
community
all
of
our
community.
M
You
know
what
types
of
things
we
offer,
what
we're
looking
for
and
what
we
think
about
as
we
develop
the
collections
and
then
we
also
include
the
american
library
association
documents,
the
library
bill
of
rights
and
then
the
freedom
to
read
statement,
we're
firm
believers
in
providing
information
and
letting
people
choose
from
themselves
whether
they
interact
with
it,
how
they
interact
with
it,
and
then
we
also
have
the
exclusion
of
materials
policy.
So
just
kind
of
a
quick
capture
of
that.
M
M
If,
at
that
point
the
user
doesn't
appreciate
the
response
you
know
doesn't
feel
like
we
did
due
diligence
or
doesn't
agree
with
it.
Then
they
can
take
it
to
the
director
and
the
library
board.
So
those
are
the
steps
that
it
goes
through.
I
don't
think
we've
had
a
request
for
reconsideration.
Go
all
the
way
to
the
library
board,
since
I've
been
here.
M
I
don't
think
we
have
knock
on
wood
that
I
didn't
just
you
know
jinx,
but
most
often
we
do
because
of
the
thorough
research
that
we
do.
If
we
get
a
request
for
reconsideration,
even
if
the
user
might
not
be
completely
satisfied
with
the
decision,
they
generally
will
take
that
and
move
along.
There
has
been
a
time
or
two
when
somebody
has
pointed
out
hey
this.
This
item
doesn't
have
factual
information
in
it.
There
was
a
book
on
snakes,
for
example,
and
it
had
incorrect
information,
so
we
just
pulled
it.
M
I
mean
that
type
of
thing
that's
kind
of
a
slam
dunk.
You
know
we
don't
want
something
that
we
know
was
not
factual
in
the
collection
beyond
that.
Sometimes
we've
moved
materials
from
one
collection
to
another,
but
we
haven't
generally
pulled
anything
and
that's.
I
think
it
goes
to
the
fact
that
you
know
we're.
We
are
following
our
policy
when
we're
developing
the
collection,
with
an
eye
to
what's
going
to
work
for
our
community
and
provide
a
well-rounded
collection.
M
M
It's
sort
of
interesting
because
we
will
go
for
a
long
stretch
and
not
have
any,
and
then
it's
we'll
get
a
bunch
and
by
a
bunch
I
mean
like
four
to
five.
Sometimes
I
think
the
last
group
that
we
had
was
probably
2019,
so
we
haven't
had
an
official
request
for
reconsideration
on
a
specific
title
for
almost
two
years.
I
think
and
then
at
that
time
I
think
we
had
maybe
four
come
through.
M
So
digital
content
is
not
protected
by
the
first
sale
doctrine,
so
we
can
buy
books
in
print
in
bulk
and
we
can
lend
them
to
readers
free
of
charge,
and
we
can
do
that
as
long
as
the
item
can
be
lent.
So
as
long
as
it
is
in
good
enough
shape-
and
we
can
continue
to
offer
it-
we
that's
something
that
once
we've
bought
one
copy,
we
can
do
that.
M
M
I
don't
know
where
that's
going
to
go,
but
I'm
hopeful
that
maybe
someday,
because
it
that
is
a
pretty
painful
point
of
service
for
the
moment
at
for
libraries,
because
it's
expensive
and
it's
a
high
need
so,
but
it
does
that
informs
a
lot
of
why
the
digital
content
behaves
so
differently
than
our
normal
collections
of
print
most
publishers.
Right
now
they
sell
their
ebooks
any
audio
books
to
third-party
vendors.
So
we
can
access
the
content
by
going
through
a
third
party.
M
M
M
And
they
can
treat
so
then
the
third-party
vendor
really
has
a
lot
of
say
in
how
we
access
the
materials,
some
of
that
comes
from
the
publishers
themselves
and
then
some
of
it
comes
from
the
vendor.
So,
for
example,
most
of
what
we
buy
now
is
actually
metered.
So
when
we
purchase
a
title
from
overdrive,
we
purchase
it
generally
for
26
checkouts.
So
sometime
in
the
past,
the
publishers
all
came
to
the
conclusion
that
most
print
books
only
circulate
26
times
before
they
are
broken,
so
they
decided
to
enact
that
for
digital
content.
M
Most
libraries
note
that
that's
not
exactly
the
case.
Maybe
that's
an
average.
You
know
if
you
were
to
take
every
library
everywhere,
children
a
little
harder
on
print
books,
for
example
than
adults
are,
so
you
have
to
replace
those
a
little
more
often
but
26
checkouts
is
pretty
conservative,
and
so
it
goes
by
really
quickly
and
digital
content
is
one
of
those
things
too,
that
you
know
somebody
checks
it
out
and
doesn't
read
it.
We
don't
get
any
credit.
M
M
We
can
have
as
many
checkouts
in
that
time
frame
as
we
can
get,
but
at
the
end
of
the
time
frame,
then
it
expires.
Our
access
to
it
expires.
Sometimes
it's
metered
by
both.
So
it's
metered
by
12
months
or
26,
checkouts
or
20.
You
know
24
months
or
26
checkouts,
so
it
makes
it
really
challenging
on
the
back
end,
to
purchase
content
and
to
continue
to
offer
content.
M
That's
why
series
are
such
a
painful,
painful
thing
and
why
we
don't
always
have
all
of
the
series.
So
I
know
that's
a
very
frustrating
thing
for
our
users
and
they're
expensive.
We
don't
get
the
same
pricing
at
any
level
that
the
users
do
so
we
see
a
huge
markup
and
then,
when
you
consider
that
we
have
to
repurchase
the
content
very
regularly,
it's
it's
a
struggle,
so
we
can't
develop
our
collections
for
each
audiobooks
and
ebooks
like
we
do
our
our
actual
physical
collections.
M
M
So,
even
though
that
we've
purchased
it,
then
we
can't
get
it
again
or
they
take
it
out
of
the
collection
or
sometimes
we'll
get
a
huge
holds
cue
on
its
title
and
then
we
can't
buy
more
copies
of
it
because
they
don't
have
rights
to
it
anymore.
So
those
are
all
kind
of
the
things
that
happen
in
the
background
that
are
not
super
visible
to
the
public.
It's
not
easy
to
explain.
You
know
and
people
get
frustrated
and
I
totally
understand
it.
M
M
We
want
to
play
nicely,
and
but
we
also
want
it
to
work
for
us
and
for
our
budgets
and
for
our
users.
So
if
you're
interested
there's
additional
reading
so
the
first
one,
the
surprisingly
big
business
of
library
ebooks
that
one
just
came
out,
it
was
a
new
yorker
article.
It's
it's
a
pretty
good
article
and
it
talks
a
lot
about.
You
know
the
cost
for
libraries
versus
the
cost
for
a
regular
user,
and
it's
some
good
insight.
It
talks
a
lot
about
overdrive.
M
M
Overdrive
bought
out
rv
digital
last
year,
so
that
got
absorbed
into
the
collective
and
then
just
recently,
overdrive
also
purchased
canopy,
which
is
one
of
the
streaming
video
services
that
libraries
have
gone
with
a
lot,
so
that
consolidation
is
also
a
little
bit
problematic.
It
makes
it
so
that
there's
a
little
less
negotiation
opportunity
for
libraries
on
the
back
end.
M
The
second
one
is
want
to
borrow
that
ebook
from
a
library.
Sorry,
amazon,
won't
let
you
so.
Amazon
is
actually
a
fairly
large
publisher
in
their
own
right.
It's
kind
of
a
sneaky
behind
the
scenes
thing.
They
really
want
you
to
just
use
their
stuff.
So
audible.com
is
one
of
our
biggest
competitors
when
it
comes
to
audiobooks
and
amazon
actually
does
a
lot
of
their
they.
They
have
soul
rights
to
a
lot
of
audiobooks,
so
sometimes
we
can
get
published.
M
D
I
M
It
isn't
generally
the
authors
that
most
people
are
looking
for,
so
that
hasn't
been
something
that
we've
explored
too
seriously,
just
because
it
would
be
another
platform,
and
it's
not
exactly
going
to
fill
the
need
that
I
think
people
are
really
wanting
to
get
filled
at
the
moment.
That
doesn't
mean
that
we
wouldn't
be
open
to
it.
It
just
needs
to
make
sense
before
we
bring
on
another
platform.
M
B
M
So
we
do
offer
a
wide
variety
of
resources
that
are
subscription
based
and
where
we
just
pay
a
flat
fee
for
the
year,
and
then
people
can
access
the
content
or
we
negotiate
with
the
vendors
and
try
and
purchase
perpetual
content
access.
So,
for
example,
mango
languages
is
one
of
the
ones.
Years
ago
we
we
negotiated
a
perpetual
purchase.
So
now
we
just
pay.
Basically,
an
annual
access
fee
and
it's
a
pretty
reasonable
amount.
So
now
we
can
offer
mango
for
as
long
as
the
product
is
out
there.
M
M
M
So
we
are
very
limited
on
what
we
can
offer.
Newspapers
have
been
an
ongoing
frustration
with
the
pandemic
we
had
offered.
I
think
it
was
two
years
ago
we
tried
offering
new
york
times.
Maybe
it
was
three
the
new
york
times
online
access.
It
was
not
user
friendly
and
it
was
limited
content.
So,
even
though
we
were
paying
them
for
our
library
users
to
access
it,
it
was
problematic
for
access
points,
and
then
there
was
also
several
parts
of
the
digital
content
that
our
users
didn't
have
access
to.
M
You'd
have
to
subscribe
to
it
individually
to
get
the
content.
So
we
stopped
subscribing
to
that.
We
have
looked
into
other
newspaper
resources
that
are
offered
to
libraries,
the
latest
one
that
we
looked
at.
They
embargoed
all
of
the
newspapers.
I
can't
remember,
I
think
it
was
for
a
few
weeks-
might
have
been
longer,
but
it
was
definitely
long
enough
that
we
thought
that's
not
it's
not
a
worthwhile
thing,
because
most
people
want
the
news
in
a
timely
fashion,
not
several
weeks
later,
and
it
wasn't.
M
There
wasn't
enough
of
an
archive
that
would
make
it
worthwhile
for
any
kind
of
research
purposes.
So
it's
frustrating
because
it
looks
like
there's
so
many
great
resources
out
there
and
as
an
individual
subscriber
there
are
as
a
library,
it's
challenging
to
offer
the
types
of
services
and
the
level
of
service
that
we
know
our
users
would
like.
M
The
idaho
statesman
is
a
pretty
good
example.
We
used
to
try
and
get
digital
content
through
digital
access
through
the
idaho
statesman,
but
they
don't
have
any
kind
of
authentication
built
in
as
as
most
newspapers
don't
for
libraries.
So
then
we
started
going
through
newsbank,
which
is
it's
the
biggest
newspaper
offer,
probably
that
in
the
in
the
business
and
they
own
a
lot
of
that
content.
So
we
have
to
pay
a
very
substantial
amount
in
the
background.
M
M
We
pay
a
lot
more
for
adult
titles
than
we
do
for
youth
titles.
So,
for
example,
it's
it's
about
ten
dollars
more
per
item
that
we
pay
for
adult
books,
which
is
a
pretty
substantial
amount,
especially
because
most
of
our
users
of
digital
content
are
adults.
So
that's
where
we
put
most
of
our
money
is
to
adult
titles.
So
it's
a
much
heavier
lift
budget-wise.
M
So
what
you're
seeing
is
we
do
try
to
look
at
how
many
circulations
we
get
and
then
we
try
to
make
sure
that
how
much
we're
spending
aligns
with
our
circulations.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
what
we're
doing
for
our
users
is
what
they
want
to
see,
so
it
just
has
kind
of
a
the
overall
search
for
youth
and
adult.
We
do
break
it
down,
so
the
budget
lines
are
broken
out,
youth
and
then
adults.
That's
how
we
look
at
things.
M
When
we're
looking
at
it,
we
we
dive
way
into
the
weeds,
so
I'm
just
looking
at
it
from
the
overview,
I'm
assuming
that's
where
most
of
you
want
to
stay,
but
you
can
see
that
in
the
2020
circulation
we
had
30
percent
of
the
physical
checkouts
were
youth.
35
of
the
physical
checkouts
were
adult,
and
then
we
had
10
digital
checkouts
for
youth
and
then
26
digital
check
outs
for
adult.
That's
where
it
really
shows.
M
You
know
we're
spending
a
lot
more
money
for
digital
adult
content
to
try
and
meet
the
need
overall
in
circulations
forty
percent
were
youth
circulations
and
sixty
percent
were
adult
for
the
funds.
We
got
a
substantial
amount
of
gift
funds
that
we
could
put
towards
digital
content,
in
particular
with
the
shutdown
which
was
wonderful.
M
So
we're
always
constantly
trying
to
balance
that
out,
but
statistically
and
I'll
show
I'll
show
a
graph
of
this
at
the
end.
But
we
are
seeing
our
digital
content
checkout
sort
of
stabilize
again
it's
not
as
high
as
it
had
been.
It's
come
down
a
bit
and
then
it's
just
we're
kind
of
seeing
almost
a
baseline
trend
again,
so
that
will
be
as
we
continue
to
move
forward,
we'll
continue
to
monitor
it,
make
sure
that
we're
putting
money
where
it
makes
sense.
M
M
For
digital
content
and
that,
but
that's
that's
a
really
messy
one,
just
because
if
we
do
like
for
some
of
our
titles,
if
it's
a
one
copy
one
user
and
we
own
it,
then
we
can
have
hundreds
of
checkouts
on
that
item
and
we
have
some
of
that
content.
When
we
first
started
with
overdrive
back
in,
I
think
it
was
2010
most
of
the
content
we
could
purchase.
So
we
do
have
kind
of
a.
M
M
H
M
M
M
And
then
just
kind
of
pre-pandemic
numbers-
I
just
wanted
to
throw
this
in
there
so
that
you
could
see
the
pandemic
has
shifted
things,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
give
a
nod
to
that.
I
don't
know
that
we
need
to
go
through
it
in
super
detail
like
I
did
with
the
first
screen
but
I'll.
Let
you
kind
of
look
over
it
see
if
any
any
questions
jump
out
at
you.
H
M
H
H
You
know
if,
if
people
aren't
using
it,
we
need
to
cut
it
out,
but
more
from
the
perspective
of
if
the
usage
isn't
very
high,
how
do
we
publicize
it
and
get
people
to
use
it,
because
I
think
there's
some
really
good
resources
there
that
I
would
be
willing
to
put
a
large
bet
that
most
people
don't
know.
Are
there.
B
H
And
I
would
really
like
to
see
how
we
can
promote
those
and,
along
the
theme
of
you,
know
the
library
being
a
community
resource
and
a
place
for
learning
and
a
tool
set
for
lots
of
people
that
you
know.
How
can
we
really?
How
can
we
really
publicize
those
so
that
they
are
known
and
we're
effective
in
delivering
those.
M
Your
comments
spot
on,
we
have
a
team
that
works
on
that
and
works
on
promotion
and
tries
to
find
new
ways
to
do
it.
It
is
one
of
the
challenges.
I
think
that
libraries
struggle
with
the
most
we're,
not
that
great
at
promotion
of
what
we
offer
either
with
events
digital
content.
What
have
you
and
it's?
M
It
is
a
challenge
you
know
to
try
and
get
the
right
people
matched
up
with
the
promotional
stuff
that
we
can
put
out
there,
and
I
I
think
that
that
it
should
be
a
real
focus
as
we
move
forward
on.
We
are
spending
a
lot
of
money
on
the
on
our
offerings,
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
trying
to
get
it
to
the
right
people.
J
E
M
M
M
A
M
More
slime,
I
know
I'm
taking
forever,
I'm
sorry
this
last
one.
It
just
shows
we
have
the
content,
so
the
top
line
is
how
many
items
we
have
in
the
collection,
physical
items
and
then
the
bottom
line.
The
blue
line
is
the
physical
items
that
are
checked
out
and
we
take
snapshots
of
that
and
we've
been
tracking
it
since
2017
and
then
the
green
line
is
digital
items
and
how
they've
checked
out.
M
You
can
see
some
of
the
dips
that
are
pretty
regular
and
so
in
may
we
tend
to
see
a
dip
in
december.
We
tend
to
see
a
dip
and
then
also
in
august
that
tends
to
coincide
with
you,
know:
school
school
ins
and
outs
so
and
holidays,
and
then
this
this
green
line.
It
does
show
a
little
bit
about
what
I
mean
by
the
digital
contents.
M
M
We
also
do
a
deep
dive
into
the
assessment,
so
this
is
a
an
overview.
This
is
just
picture
books.
We
take
a
look
at
what
each
each
location
is
doing,
whether
we
have
a
good
number
there,
how
many
times
they're
turning
over
or
what
our
circulation
checkouts
are,
whether
the
items
are
grubby,
whether
we
need
to
refresh
it
how
new
the
collection
is
looking
stuff
like
that,
and
then
any
other
questions
that
you
have.
A
Nothing
not
necessarily
a
question,
but
that's
a
great
overview
of
a
behind-the-scenes
piece,
especially
for
our
new
trustees,
but
it's
a
great
refresher
for
those
of
us
that
have
been
on
the
board
for
a
while
as
well.
Just
to
kind
of
see
that
do
you
see
anything
additional
on
the
horizon,
I
mean
that
digital
content
has
a
lot
of.
A
Oh,
it's
there's
a
lot
to
it
way
more
again
that
I
kind
of
set
off
to
the
side
because
I'm
not
on
it,
you
know
into
a
day-to-day
like
you
are
in
the
near
future.
Are
you
hearing
anything
on
the
horizon
outside
of
the
digital
content,
or
are
we
kind
of
still?
This
will
be
the
continued
conversation
going
on
from
the
cost
perspective
and
the
usage.

F
I'm
sarah
I'm
the
public
services
manager
for
the
library,
and
I
do
the
monthly
policy
review
with
the
board.
So,
throughout
the
fiscal
year,
you'll
look
at
each
section
of
policy.
Sometimes
we
jump
around
a
little
bit.
We
actually
are
doing
section
5
today,
because
we
wanted
to
save
all
of
this
media
information
for
our
new
trustees
kathy.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
great
tf
so
that
you've
got
a
lot
of
background.
That
goes
with
all
of
this
policy
work.
F
As
far
as
policy
review,
there's
eight
sections
the
board
sets
policy
and
then
library,
leadership
and
staff
work
on
the
regulation
piece.
We
do
run
things
past
you
if
we're
going
to
change
regulation,
but
those
are
really
the
supplementary
materials
or
the
the
the
guidelines
for
upholding
the
policy.
That's
what
the
regulation
piece
does
so
for
section:
5,
collection,
development
and
maintenance.
F
There
are
sections
that
can
be
shared,
such
as
the
ala
library,
bill
of
rights,
freedom
to
read,
statement.
Those
are
those
supplementary
pieces,
but
we
are
not
recommending
any
changes.
This
is
a
very
solid
policy.
That's
really
withstood
the
test
of
time
and
the
collection
development
team
has
done
a
great
job,
making
sure
everything's
still
in
sync,
we
also
check
with
ed
on
policy
each
month
too,
he
can
check
for
case
law
to
make
sure
we
haven't
missed
something
else
that
has
changed
so
that
we
are
keeping
up.
A
All
right
new
business
is
a
selection
of
meeting
dates
for
fiscal
year
2022,
so
for
our
newest
trustees
on
an
annual
basis
at
our
annual
meeting
in
september.
We
select
the
dates
that
we
have
for
the
upcoming
year
to
make
sure
that
we
are
getting
those
on
our
calendars
and
we're
ensuring
that
our
team,
here
at
the
library,
has
timing,
correct
for
preparing
the
packets
and
the
materials
and
all
of
the
reporting,
and
then
the
reporting
also
notification
to
the
public
as
well.
A
A
A
In
addition,
the
same
time
frame
at
11
30
here
at
the
marion
bingham
library,
the
room
here
at
the
main
library,
in
addition,
also
for
the
zoom
option,
calls
so
with
that.
I
would
look
to
hear
from
the
board
we
through
the
board
member.
That
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
approve
either
one
of
these
dates
on
schedule.
We
can
open
it
up
for
discussion.
C
C
It's
it's
wacky,
so
coverage
for
what's
available
in
the
building
is
a
lot
easier
for
me
on
wednesday,
but
I
recognize
fully
recognize.
I
am
one
person
and
there
is
a
massive
team
behind
everything
with
staff,
and
so,
if
wednesday
is
available,
I
would
take
it,
but
if
thursday
is
what
works
best
for
the
group,
we
will
make
it
happen.
You
just
may
have
my
babies
in
the
background,
so.
A
A
D
A
E
A
A
Yes,
starting
october
13th,
correct,
okay,
great
okay,
you
bet
all
right.
Next
up
is
the
election
of
officers,
so
we
are
looking
to
nominate
and
elect
a
president
and
a
vice
president
for
a
one-year
term
commencing
on
october
20
21st-
and
I
can't
remember-
are
we
supposed
to
have
a
special
wording
on
this?
Or
can
we
just
make
a
nomination?
A
I
think
I
could
just
make
a
nomination.
Okay,
I'm
going
to
speak
up.
First
then,
and
I
am
going
to
nominate-
I
did
have
a
chance
to
visit
with
phil
and
phil
has
some
interest
in
stepping
into
our
vice
president
president
role
here
on
the
library
board.
So
I
would
like
to
nominate
phil
for
the
one
year
term,
as
vice
president.
A
A
Bye,
thank
you
for
your
enthusiasm
again
all
right.
Thank
you,
phil,
and
I
look
forward
to
supporting
our
board
in
the
role
as
the
president,
okay,
section
10
is
review,
amend
and
repeal
adopt
bylaws
policies
and
procedures.
This
item
is
for
discussion
only
requires
no
action
from
the
trustees.
It
is
included
in
our
packet.
Do
we
have
someone
presenting
on
this
one.
B
C
L
Mentioned
you
go
through
the
the
board,
goes
through
every
policy
and
and
for
our
new
board
members
some
boards
do
it
all
in
one
meeting
and
we
actually
do
it
throughout
the
year
on
a
rotating
basis.
Just
so
that
you
have
a
chance
for
us
to
review,
and
then
you
know,
have
a
discussion
or
answer
any
questions.
L
A
If
you
have
some
interest
in
participating
in
that
in
that
discussion,
and
then
you
know
again,
I
know
each
of
you
have
gone
through.
I
think
that
you
know
there's
a
couple
things
that
always
you
know
pop
out
at
me
is
the
attendance
you
know
making
sure
that
we
are
are
doing
everything
we
can
possibly
to
to
maintain
our
attendance
here
as
board.
We
have
a
really
important
role
that
we
play
in.
A
It's
so
important
that
we
hear
from
each
of
us
as
board
members
to
make
sure
that
we
we
all
bring
this
very
diverse
piece
to
our
roles,
and
it's
really
important
that
we
bring
that
diversity
to
each
of
our
board
meetings
when
we're
reviewing
all
information
in
regards
to
to
the
library,
so
we
again
will
be
regrouping
at
a
later
date
down
the
road
to
review
the
bylaws.
So
thank
you
any
questions,
fellow
trustees.
