Board tables Honorific Recognition Policy pending consultation with Friends of the Library
Summary
The Board tabled a proposed Honorific Recognition Policy and asked the Library Director to consult with the Friends of the Library about their inclusion and potential event-hosting roles before bringing the policy back.
The Library Advisory Board tabled the proposed Honorific Recognition Policy on Feb. 24, asking the Library Director to consult with the Friends of the Library regarding their inclusion in the policy and any role in hosting associated events. The policy would clarify how the library may acknowledge individuals, families, or organizations for non-monetary service, legacy, or community impact and was presented as separate from donor recognition.
Board members emphasized the policy should remain flexible, avoid naming rights to limit permanence and equity concerns, and clearly distinguish honorific recognition from donor recognition and fundraising obligations. The Board postponed action to allow consultation with the Friends group and to return with proposed language on roles and hosting.
