Board reviews November statistics, bookmobile repairs and training date; approves Oct. 30 minutes
Summary
Members reviewed November circulation and service figures, discussed a bookmobile that had limited circulation due to repairs, noted a Jan. 27 training for committees, scheduled the next meeting for Jan. 29, 2025, and approved the Oct. 30 minutes by voice vote.
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.
