Summary
Library Director Connie Schuett reported steady circulation, summer-reading sponsorships and fundraisers, a Bike Safety Program with Juneau PD on May 19, and said staff are investigating an unexpected RFID invoice tied to a 2022 arrangement.
Library Director Connie Schuett reported to the Juneau Public Library Board on May 13 that circulation and monthly statistics remain steady, and she highlighted recent program and fundraising activity alongside an unexpected operational invoice.
Schuett told trustees she attended a director's workshop that provided guidance on public records, retention and streamlining policies. She reported several sponsorship responses and prize donations from local businesses for the summer reading program, and noted Friends of the JPL have a fundraiser scheduled for May 19 at Benvenutos in Beaver Dam; a separate fundraiser at Glen's was described as successful.
The director also said the library will host a Bike Safety Program with the Juneau Police Department on May 19. Separately, she reported receiving an unexpected invoice for RFID costs from a vendor identified as "System," tied to an arrangement dating to 2022; staff are investigating that charge and did not provide further details at the meeting.
The minutes list these items as part of the director's report; specifics such as dollar amounts for the RFID invoice or the precise sponsorship totals were not specified in the record.
