Final subcontractor pricing is expected soon and will determine whether the project schedule or scope requires change.

\"The design documents were submitted to the contractor,\" Bryce said. He explained the city packaged the library work with larger adjacent projects to gain economies of scale, and said final pricing will confirm whether the project can proceed as planned or must be phased into a later fiscal year.

The project features a smaller, staff-focused circulation desk area with dedicated shelving and an automated book sorter to speed returns-to-shelf processing, a bank of self-checkout kiosks, expanded glass-fronted staff areas, a greenhouse-style courtyard with a seed-library concept and a spiral staircase linking outdoor levels. Staff described the greenhouse and courtyard as potential venues for concerts, programming and a sculpture garden.

Bryce said the city's current completion goal is September but cautioned that dates remain tentative. He said staff are working with Lincoln Construction and subcontractors on final pricing and asked the commission to expect a public messaging campaign once dates are firm. Staff also said they plan to remain open for core services during construction, with the possibility of short closures or weekend-only shut-downs if required by demolition sequencing.

No formal action was taken; staff will report schedule and closure details when they are confirmed with contractors.","City staff reported the library renovation is fully designed and construction subcontractor pricing is being finalized; the work includes a new circulation desk layout, automated book sorter, greenhouse and courtyard improvements, and staff said they will aim to keep core services available during construction.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6371964,"Library says PERC moved to main floor, 1,000 items reorganized and volunteers reallocated",450,2164000,2614000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2148657-152f3894f1d0a6c830f02be4e4a443b2&start=2164&end=2614","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2148657-152f3894f1d0a6c830f02be4e4a443b2/thumbnail_2164000.jpg","/articles/6371964/Utah/Library-says-PERC-moved-to-main-floor-1000-items-reorganized-and-volunteers-reallocated","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6371964-d06370dc202b8f0ace99fb4bc8577d4d/orig.mp4?Expires=1775383354&Signature=SSEwEuvbnKC24bM2K809MNcVvDhMyrAz1sx1cDfclT0bHV6~CnQ~J1dwYiw5zLuHNTovKAb8gAxV46uehfLzxlyRz0sjOJlI1Sd-powjuhP1XeaP4bR9E3saovWjyRTvYLX17Hh0s9qpnQtLj-j7Ni8sVUzqaDmyAwFdvncIQtA8z4vL9947KrMIZRlKrm632MtthFbxOw12FpprgWp9JrB-BdVZg06tOzy5vmnRPJBEuSHzf3tSGWBlrCQW9KP~FzcvVUgif08cdoFzokhJxmD94L7~iFdZ6LFz~KEGyLec4pF7qcWuVsk5pzeQFZz6eVyva9SJ4tfgw3QJcS7Fww__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Bryce (staff member) told the commission that the Parent Education Resource Collection, known as PERC, opened in a new location at the back of the storytelling wing in November and that staff moved roughly 1,000 items after sorting a larger inventory.

\"The collection moved up,\" Bryce said, describing the move from lower-level storage to a visible, main-floor location and the work to sort roughly 8,000 items down to about 1,000 materials that were integrated into the library collection.

Staff described changes to presentation and handling designed to protect materials and improve access: new packaging options (clear bags, rigid containers) and shelving by category rather than Dewey numbers so patrons can more easily find educational kits and manipulatives. The PERC collection is organized in about 20 topical categories, staff said.

Volunteers who previously supported PERC operations were redeployed to floor-level collection-access roles to help patrons and parents in person; staff said this has improved customer interaction and durability of the materials. Bryce also said the library will continue to buy and catalog new items that will permanently belong to the library (distinct from items that originated with the former PERC nonprofit).

Bryce said the original PERC donor organization retains a contractual right to reclaim certain items after a multi-year period, but the transcript did not specify the exact number of years. Staff said they will catalog newly purchased items so the library can replace pieces and maintain circulation going forward.","Staff reported that the Parent Education Resource Collection (PERC) moved from a basement location to the main floor storytelling wing in November; about 1,000 items were transferred after sorting 8,000 items, volunteers have been reassigned to support access and staff will continue to add new materials.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6371968,"Orem library staff present new art policy and gallery program ahead of February review",2022,13000,2035000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2148657-152f3894f1d0a6c830f02be4e4a443b2&start=13&end=2035","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2148657-152f3894f1d0a6c830f02be4e4a443b2/thumbnail_13000.jpg","/articles/6371968/Utah/Orem-library-staff-present-new-art-policy-and-gallery-program-ahead-of-February-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6371968-1f5a5b16121367d5723f7d641682ac8d/orig.mp4?Expires=1775383354&Signature=DTrL7zM~~vHkMrmBmBoRbg6w~UjrHwRcwSSs5~tO5zppf8e9JTBIyHdV0bT--kOtsiHc0GugEJ92fZ8zMkqirGGO5yRe9lo1VJMRdATPwQUDBBhq-LuuVbjGCmGjustlukj9XO5YCc~kzTAwTweXrSMdKBea5rvoDVczMzvd8x11V66KXHOPsoMBOUZmwnSjj6cVzM9zVDCv6EePLvZtfdBkd408S30XjeEHJDi9w8eF2UvCk5~VE3h0kP97JS~IpL0qc2aamShCCLAlEAsGN1drWHwePzc910-6AvEf1GBiWPaPGbIBXjXDdykVB62n9REpcPKS3mtPo3y7-bGvtg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Holly Grierson, the library's children's librarian and the staff member who manages the city art collection, told the Orem Library Advisory Commission that the city's art program now needs a formal policy to protect artists, preserve works and clarify staff responsibility.

\"We're trying to highlight up-and-coming artists and to protect artists and the artwork in the collection,\" Grierson said, summarizing the draft policy she presented. She said the collection includes paintings, sculptures, stained glass and pottery and that most works are already on public display in library spaces.

The draft, the commission was told, adapts language from the library's existing display and collection-development policies and adds museum-industry practices for care, conservation and deaccession (the formal removal of an item from a collection). Grierson described processes for handling donations, temporary loans and repatriation requests for culturally sensitive items; she said the policy will also set staff roles and a three-year review cycle.

Bryce (staff member) added that the policy will clarify where staff make routine exhibition decisions and where the commission will have oversight. He said staff will email the written draft to commissioners and place the policy on the February agenda for formal review; if changes are minor, staff may proceed with non-substantive edits before the vote.

Commissioners and staff described several program details included in the draft: a plan to digitize the collection (a recent grant and a UVU-hosted digital platform were cited), an intent to use gallery sales to support artists and the collection, and guidance on when the library can sell or transfer works.

The presentation included examples from the collection\u0014local and regionally known painters, a recurring annual quilt show and a temporary installation by local recording artist Mindy Gledhill\u0014to illustrate how the policy would apply. Grierson said some sculpture will ultimately be sited in an outdoor sculpture garden and that staff are adding museum lighting, display cases and movable walls as the program grows.

The commission did not take a formal vote on the policy at this meeting. Staff were directed to circulate the draft in writing and return to the commission in February with the policy on the agenda for review and potential action.","Library staff and the Orem Library Advisory Commission reviewed a draft art policy and exhibition plan that would codify acquisition, display, donation and deaccession rules for the city's art collection and gallery spaces; staff will circulate the written policy and return it for commission review in February.","actionData","errors"]
