Board approves purchase of new board-book shelving for children's area
Summary
Trustees authorized buying library-grade board-book shelving to improve circulation and space use in the children's area; staff will gather additional quotes and photos for city review if required.
The board approved purchasing new board-book shelving intended to make the children's board book collection more accessible and to open central floor space in the children's area.
Children's librarian Emma reported she researched multiple vendors and said the recommended product matched the design and durability the library wants. Staff said though they had not obtained three formal quotes for the single-vendor recommendation, they had priced alternative approaches and would supply two additional quotes and photos to support any required city review.
Trustees approved the purchase and asked staff to document quotes and include photos for the city if the purchase exceeds thresholds requiring city approval.
The director said existing rolling shelving would be repurposed where possible, and the board agreed that improving the children's area would support reading engagement among young patrons.
