Library board approves DMV kiosks for county branches despite chair's opposition
Summary
The Sumner County Library Board voted to allow DMV kiosks at county libraries after supporters argued the machines improve access; Chair Joanna Daniels was the sole opposing vote. Implementation will require a policy before installation.
The Sumner County Library Board voted to approve installation of Department of Motor Vehicles kiosks in county library branches after a lengthy discussion about location, staffing and accessibility. The motion, made by Mike Bryan and seconded by Kayley Wilson, passed with one opposing vote cast by Chair Joanna Daniels.
Supporters said the kiosks would expand public access and would not overburden staff. "It's a tool to get more people into the library," Paul McCoy said during discussion. Anita Lamberth, Portland Library Director, said the kiosks "are fully automated," and that state systems handle installation and maintenance. Opponents raised concerns about added responsibilities for library staff and physical space at smaller branches; Daniels said she preferred the kiosks be placed in city buildings rather than libraries.
Board members asked staff to write signage and a use policy before any kiosk is installed and noted the agreement has been reviewed by the county law office. No installation timeline was set at the meeting.
