Summary
Staff told trustees the recent book sale was successful and said an adult summer reading program is being established; the director highlighted concerns about book diversity in the collection.
At the May 14 meeting of the Board of Library Trustees, staff reported that the recent book sale was successful and announced that an adult summer reading program is being established.
During Staff Reports, trustees noted the book sale proceeds and discussed next steps for programming; a staff member said, "The book sale was successful." The minutes record that an adult summer reading program is being established, but they do not specify dates, target audiences or funding sources.
In the Director Report, the director flagged collection development and specifically discussed book diversity. The minutes indicate the trustees discussed diversity in the collection; no formal directives or budget allocations were recorded in the minutes.
Trustees also reviewed committee reports and ongoing items in Old Business including budget and capital plan updates. The director search committee announced it will hold an executive session, separate from the public programming discussion.
