Friends sale nets about $17,000; ad hoc subcommittee to work on continuity and closure plans
Summary
Commissioners reported the Friends book sale raised roughly $17,000 and discussed forming an ad hoc subcommittee to plan for library closure continuity (holds, service continuity, temporary spaces); staff will coordinate follow-ups with Friends and the subcommittee.
Commissioners reported on Friends of the Library activity and on preliminary planning for service continuity in the event of a closure. One commissioner said the Friends' recent sale raised about $17,000 over the weekend. The commission also discussed continuity planning for library services (holds, circulation, temporary locations) and tasked the ad hoc subcommittee to do preliminary work and coordinate with Friends and staff.
A commissioner described work done by the ad hoc group and said the commission will need to address continuity of service, including possible temporary commercial space to house Friends operations or holds during a closure. Staff and commissioners agreed to set up follow-up meetings to develop options and requested staff to coordinate with the Friends group to explore temporary solutions.
No formal decision or funding action was taken; commissioners emphasized the need for more detailed planning and for staff to coordinate future meetings.
