Trustees adopt collection development policy to unlock state funds, say it can be amended later
Summary
To secure state funding, the Anderson County Library Board voted to approve a collection development policy tonight with the understanding the policy will be reviewed and can be amended at the policy committee meeting scheduled for Sept. 3.
The board voted to adopt the system’s collection development policy so the library system can meet state requirements for funding. Trustees agreed the policy can be amended later and that adopting it now is necessary to obtain state disbursements for the budget year.
"Under the consideration that it is up for amendment afterwards. We're passing it so we can get the state," a trustee said before the motion passed with a hand count. Board members set a policy committee meeting for Sept. 3 at 3:00 p.m. to review collection and internet policies more thoroughly; trustees agreed directors and counsel will participate in that follow-up work.
The immediate passage satisfied the formality required for the annual library service agreement and state reporting deadlines while reserving substantive reconsideration for the committee process.
