Library to add Britannica, replace computers; commission okays $25,326 from Barker Fund
Summary
The commission approved $25,326 from the Walt and Mary Barker Library Fund to add Britannica Online and replace patron and staff computers after the library director said residents used digital resources 26,000 times last year.
Library Director Keyes requested $25,326 from the Walt and Mary Barker Library Fund to add Britannica Online and to replace four patron-use computers and one staff laptop. Keyes said residents accessed library e-resources more than 26,000 times last year and that the additions better serve teens and reference users.
Commissioners asked about usage data and Keyes said the 26,000 figure is last year's total accesses and that usage is tracked monthly and by program type. The commission moved and passed the resolution authorizing the expenditure; staff will implement the subscriptions and equipment replacement.
