Board approves consent agenda; director announces new bookmobile coordinator and statewide patron survey
Summary
The board adopted a four‑item consent agenda by voice vote and heard staff updates: a new full‑time bookmobile coordinator started this week and the library will promote a short statewide patron survey next week to collect stories and usage feedback.
The Monterey Public Library Board of Trustees adopted the meeting's four‑item consent agenda by a voice vote Jan. 22. The consent package included the December minutes and three informational reports; the motion and second were made from the floor and the chair recorded the motion as approved by voice (individual roll‑call votes were not read aloud).
In director comments, staff announced Micah Whitaker has started as the library's new full‑time bookmobile coordinator. The director said Whitaker joined from county service and staff plan to introduce bookmobile personnel at a future board meeting once they are settled in their new roles.
The director also said the state library is running a short patron survey called "Every Story Counts" next week and that staff will promote it with QR codes, in‑library outreach and social media. The survey is intended to gather patron stories and quick feedback; staff described it as brief and encouraged trustees and patrons to take part.
No formal board action was required on the staffing announcements or the state survey; both items were presented for information and future coordination.
