At the Dec. 18 meeting, staff presented the library’s November statistics and told the board the bookmobile had limited circulation while undergoing repairs.

Staff read selected November figures: computer sessions, 1,669; Wi‑Fi sessions, 8,503; new library cards, 516; library card renewals, 833; passports processed, 84; and total volumes to date, 293,949. Staff said year‑to‑date comparisons and percent changes versus the prior fiscal year were included in the packet.

Board members asked about the bookmobile; staff said outreach events were held but that circulation numbers showed zeros for certain metrics in November while the vehicle was being repaired. A staff member said the bookmobile had two programs with outreach attendance of about 330 but likely did not circulate books while awaiting repairs.

Members were told a training for committee members is scheduled for Monday, Jan. 27, with details to follow, and the board scheduled its next meeting for Jan. 29, 2025, at 5 p.m.

The board approved the minutes of Oct. 30, 2024. The motion to approve was moved by Mister Del Real; a second was recorded and the chair called for the ayes. The chair announced the minutes approved by voice vote.
