Board members ratified April expenditures and approved the minutes from the May 8 meeting. The board also approved a three-year renewal of the Mango language database contract (annual payments over three years), and renewed a memorandum of understanding with the Utah Education and Technology Network (UETN) that supports discounted internet and statewide network services through E-rate and related state funding.

The board approved a proposed interlocal cooperative-borrowing agreement with Weber County that the director said would remain effectively renewable and simplify reciprocal borrowing for residents across county lines; the agreement does not include meeting-room access and covers collection access only. The director noted the reciprocal agreement also enables participation in the Beehive Library Consortium for e-books.

Members also approved a proposed systemwide closure on Friday, August 1 so staff can participate in a training day; libraries will reopen to the public at 2 p.m. that day. The board approved all listed motions by voice vote; specific vote tallies were not recorded in the transcript.

The changes, intended to ensure compliance with the federal Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) and to maintain related funding streams, update terminology, add links to legal resources and clarify how staff should respond when patrons access potentially harmful material.

Josh Johnson, library director, told the board the policy revisions were necessary to protect funding tied to internet-safety compliance. \"I urge you to approve a policy because we lose any funding that exists, if we don't approve this,\" Johnson said. He walked the board through wording changes intended to make the policy clearer and more easily maintainable.

Key changes the board discussed and approved include: renaming references in the policy from older terms to \"child sexual abuse material\" where state law now uses that term; adding a link to a chosen CIPA resource for staff and patrons; replacing references to \"chat rooms\" with \"social media\" to reflect current technology; and clarifying staff procedures for intervening when a patron is believed to be violating policy or engaging in potentially illegal activity.

The board and staff also discussed day-to-day operational details spelled out in the revisions: a three-hour-per-day limit on public Internet use was retained and clarified as a per-person guideline; requests by adults to override content-limiting software remain allowable under defined procedures; and accommodations for users with specialized hardware needs will be handled case by case rather than by promising uncommon equipment at every branch. The policy text will point patrons to current resources via posted information and QR codes rather than rely solely on a printed sign.

Board members reviewed language and formatting questions during the meeting, including whether to write small numerals as words and whether to remove gendered language. Johnson said staff and deputy directors had reviewed the document and that the board's edits would be incorporated before final posting. He said staff will post the policy access information in the same public-facing way the library posts other policy links.

The board approved the motion to adopt the proposed changes by voice vote. Johnson said staff will finalize the edited text, add the selected CIPA/other links and make the updated policy accessible to patrons.

What happens next: staff will implement the revised policy language, add the posted/QR-code links and proceed with the administrative steps to make the updated policy publicly available across library locations.","The Davis County Library Board approved revisions to Internet-related policies June 12, clarifying compliance with federal law, posting/access procedures and staff responses to potentially harmful content.","actionData","errors"]
