Library director reports on bookmobile refurbishment, staff CDL training and community outreach
Summary
The director updated the Flagstaff City Library Board on recent outreach events (including a pumpkin bash and a mall health fair reaching about 58 people) and on bookmobile work: interior painting, new materials, and Beckys upcoming CDL training to operate the vehicle.
At its meeting the Flagstaff City Library Board heard a directors report highlighting recent outreach events and the status of the systems new bookmobile.
The director said the pumpkin bash and smash event was more successful than last year, noting a fire truck was used to drop pumpkins from the ladder, which boosted community interest. Board members confirmed the smashed pumpkins were taken to the city sustainability office for composting.
Staff reported that Andrea engaged about 58 people at a health and wellness fair at the mall and that many attendees said the library was their favorite place, a positive sign for outreach. The director also described ongoing interior work on the bookmobile: painting and sprucing the space to make it more appealing to children, and adding updated materials to the collection.
Becky, a staff member, is scheduled for CDL training in the last two weeks of December; she has a learners permit and has practiced driving the bookmobile twice with Nate, who the director identified as the services/facilities manager. A new bookmobile librarian participated in the interior work and staff are preparing the vehicle for service once training is complete.
No formal board action was taken on these items; they were presented as informational updates in the directors report.
