Broadband grant supplies devices and 3‑D printer; trustees require new 3‑D printer policy
Summary
Trustees reviewed Broadband Committee-funded purchases including iPads, iPhones, laptops, Android devices, a solar bench and a 3‑D printer. Trustees said a 3‑D printer policy is required; users must complete a class and the device may be used only when the Digital Navigator is present.
Trustees reported that the Broadband Committee received a grant that funded several new items for the library: iPads, iPhones, laptops, Android devices, a solar bench outside the library and a 3‑D printer. The purchases were presented as grant-funded improvements intended to support public access to devices and digital services.
Trustees agreed the library must adopt a 3‑D printer policy to govern acceptable use. The minutes record two operational requirements: any user must complete a class on the printer and the 3‑D printer may only be used when the Digital Navigator is present to supervise. The minutes do not record a formal vote on the policy language; they record the requirement as a trustees' instruction to create a policy and enforce training and supervision.
