During correspondence, board members reviewed public comments asking the library to offer a Roku with access to subscription streaming services such as Disney+ and Paramount. Library staff cautioned that digital‑lending arrangements are legally and financially complicated and that subscription costs are often the limiting factor.
The Library Director said the request raised “legal implications on whether the [streaming] service…allows for lending,” and added that the board should watch how media‑licensing models evolve before committing to new paid services. Staff said services such as Hoopla have provided access for some libraries but are frequently canceled because of high per‑use or annual licensing costs.
Nut graf: The board did not take action but agreed to monitor the issue; staff emphasized that cost, licensing terms and publisher negotiation affect whether a public library can legally and sustainably provide subscription streaming to patrons.
Ending: Staff said they will continue to evaluate requests for specific collections (for example, additional manga) and track licensing developments that would affect lending options for digital media.
