Summary

Library Director Steve updated the board on operations: Hoopla access ended Jan. 1, a new circulation manager (Lindsay) was introduced, Amber will present the library’s social media strategy next month, and Library Legislative Day is Feb. 11.

Library Director Steve gave an operational update to the West Bend City Library Board, announcing several non‑budgetary items for the coming weeks.

Steve said the library’s Hoopla service was discontinued as of Jan. 1; he noted that several nearby libraries have also limited or dropped Hoopla citing sharp cost increases. He said the library has received some complaints but that most patrons have not raised the issue in large numbers.

Steve introduced Lindsay as the new circulation manager and said Amber (staff) will present the library’s social media strategy at the next meeting. He also announced Library Legislative Day on Feb. 11 and invited board members to attend the trip to the state capitol. He asked staff to continue providing periodic leadership‑team reports to the board.

The board did not take action on these items at the meeting; they were informational updates and staff introductions.
