Lubbock ISD creates library acquisition committee; first meeting Nov. 18 to set procedures
Summary
The committee named TJ Hurt chair of the SLAC/library acquisition committee, with Amy Higgins supporting, and set a Nov. 18 meeting to review procedures; new books will be posted online for 30 days of public feedback before board recommendations.
The committee approved forming a library acquisition (SLAC) committee and named TJ Hurt as chair with Amy Higgins supporting; the first meeting was scheduled for Nov. 18. The committee will review operating procedures, roles, and expectations for using SLAC and will outline the book-acquisition process and timelines to avoid overwhelming staff or the board.
Staff said new books will be posted online for 30 days to collect feedback from the committee and the public before recommendations go to the board; reorders of existing books will not go through the full process. The committee will allow citizen comments during open meetings, meetings will be recorded, and the committee may later address the challenge process for contested books, possibly by forming a subcommittee. No formal vote details beyond appointments were recorded in the minutes.
