Board approves additions to district library catalog under new SB 13 process
Summary
Trustees voted to add a set of titles to the district library catalog following the local school library advisory council review and a required 30‑day public posting under Senate Bill 13; staff described the committee’s process, community feedback and use of AI as a review tool.
The board considered Action Item G to approve proposed additions to the district library catalog. The presenter explained that Senate Bill 13 changed the legal responsibility for library materials procurement to the board and described the review process: district librarians curated lists, the list was posted on the district website for the required 30‑day public comment period, the local school library advisory council (SLAC) reviewed feedback and the committee considered items flagged by AI tools.
The presenter said the SLAC met on Oct. 15 and Nov. 12 to review titles and community feedback. Trustees asked about removal procedures; staff confirmed the district’s existing online objection form will route requests to the SLAC for review and determination. After questions, the board moved, seconded and approved the proposed additions to the catalog; the president announced, "Motion carries 7 0."
