Board approves policy allowing director to close library early on New Year's Eve in perpetuity
Summary
The board voted unanimously to allow the library director to set an early closing time on New Year's Eve each year without returning to the board for annual approval, matching an existing Thanksgiving provision.
The Nashville Public Library Board voted unanimously to allow the library director to set an early closing time on New Year's Eve in perpetuity.
Susan (staff) reminded the board that a prior board action had authorized the director to set an early closing time the day before Thanksgiving in perpetuity. The board then moved to authorize the same approach for New Year's Eve so the director may choose an appropriate closing time without annual board approval.
A board member moved the motion, another seconded, and the chair called for the vote. “All in favor, say aye,” and the motion carried by unanimous voice vote.
Board members discussed that early closing helps patrons and staff with holiday traffic and travel and that Christmas Eve is already a closure date for the system. The resolution gives administrative flexibility and does not change other holiday schedules.
