Duchesne County Library Board approves room policy, technology plan and recommends Uintah County MOU
Summary
At its Feb. 17 meeting, the Duchesne County Library Board approved updates to its Room Reservation Policy and the 2026–2028 Technology Plan, noted a state enhancement grant and recommended renewal of a Memorandum of Understanding with Uintah County to the County Commission.
The Duchesne County Library Board on Feb. 17 approved a revised Room Reservation Policy, adopted a three‑year technology plan and recommended renewal of a Memorandum of Understanding with the Uintah County Library for final County Commission approval.
Board members voted unanimously to approve the January 2026 minutes before moving through the agenda. The board noted a $8,300 2026 Community Library Enhancement Fund grant from the Utah State Legislature that will be used to support digital collections; the Director presented the grant information but no separate acceptance motion was recorded. Jesse Walker moved to approve the Room Reservation Policy, which requires reserving parties to designate responsible adults, pay all fees before room access, make public events open to all members of the public, and require renting the room for groups that wish to restrict attendance; Vice Chair Kathryn Crapo seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Commissioner Jeff Chugg moved to adopt the 2026–2028 Technology Plan, which lists priorities to upgrade the Duchesne Branch public Wi‑Fi access point, replace aging staff computers and phones, and continue investment in digital collections; Deb Evans seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
On interlocal coordination, the board reviewed updates to a Memorandum of Understanding with the Uintah County Library (already approved by the Uintah board). Deb Evans moved to approve the MOU renewal and recommend it to the County Commission; the motion passed unanimously and Director Daniel Mauchley will place the item on the County Commissioners' agenda for final approval. The board also reviewed January circulation and budget statistics, noting that Hoopla reported 780 circulations in January at a cost of $1,900. Due to a scheduling conflict with Caucus Night, the board moved the next meeting to Wednesday, March 18, 2026, at 4:30 PM at the Roosevelt Library. The meeting adjourned at 4:56 PM.
