Chisaki)\nDirector Chisaki spoke about accepting donations of art for the public areas.\nGuidelines should be established first. A memo was circulated from J.S. May, the\nFoundation's fundraiser consultant, which helped formulate the plan for the Gala\nFundraiser. The opinion was, if someone makes an offer of a donation (an item as\nopposed to cash), apply these four questions as the criteria and if you respond yes to\neach question, the donation should be appropriate. Is there a need for the gift? Is\nthere a location for the proposed gift? Will the donor cover the full costs for the\nitem? In other words, if there are ongoing operational costs, would the endowment\nprovide support for these future expenses? Does the donor understand that the final\ndesign control exists with the projects leadership?\nBoard Member Krongold inquired if the Board would be asked to consider the gifts.\nDirector Chisaki welcomed this as she would not want to be the sole selection\nauthority. President Butter thought the questions were good; however, a process\nwould need to be established first. Member Schoenrock asked if there could be a\nspace reserved not for a gift, but for rotational purposes for local artists. Director\nChisaki stated she was going to ask the Alameda Museum if they had some items the\nLibrary could display on a rotational basis as well. Vice President Belikove believed\nit was important to consider the fact that the City has innumerable good artists who\nhave no venue. Belikove went on to say if you're going to select art it could be to\nour advantage to have someone who knows something about art to sit on the\ncommittee. The committee could consist of a mixture of board and community\nmembers as well as artists or an art consultant. Vice President Belikove said that\nmany museums lend art to be displayed and that the Oakland Museum might be an\nexcellent source. Board Member Krongold mentioned art security as a pertinent\nissue as well.\nPresident Butter asked Director Chisaki to contact some of the other libraries in the\narea and see what their policies might be in respect to public art display. This item\nwill be moved to unfinished business for more discussion at the December meeting.\nB.\nAlameda Free Library Foundation (A. Mitchell)\nBoard Member Mitchell expressed his concern prior to the Gala event, but was very\npleased at how it all came together in the end.\nBoard President Butter mentioned that she had talked to Jeptha Boone of the\nFoundation and requested that he come to the January meeting to give the Board an", "path": "LibraryBoard/2006-11-08.pdf"}

A lot of donations were made the night of the\nGala with the $100 shelves being the most popular item.\nBoard President Butter inquired as to how much of that money would go to the\nLibrary. Director Chisaki responded that it would build the endowment which in\nturn would be used for the Library when it had a future need.\nThe cleaning done before the Grand Opening was discussed; Director Chisaki said\nthe Foundation was only willing to pay half. The Library originally requested 1 day\nof professional cleaning and ended up getting 1/2 days for the same cost.\nThe Foundation would like to do an annual fundraising event at the Library, but\nDirector Chisaki explained to them now that the Library is open, there wouldn't be\nthe anticipation of the new building as a big draw. Additionally, there would not be\nan opportunity for day long set-up for the event; the Library is now open.\nC.\nFriends of the Alameda Free Library (M. Skeen)\nFriends President Skeen said there was a membership table set up for the first four\ndays the Library was open and was happy to report they signed up 41 new members.\nThese new volunteers were interested in helping with the book sales or in the Caf\u00e9.\nCaf\u00e9 planning is moving along - they had hoped to be open the past Monday,\nhowever, the refrigerator and microwave had not arrived yet. Hopefully, they will\nbe ready to open the Monday of Thanksgiving week. They have just enough people\nto cover the 12 shifts with 2 people each shift. The Friends would like to get a few\nmore people who would be willing to be available on-call. Per Member Krongold's\ninquiry, Feel Good Bakery will be the pastry supplier for the Caf\u00e9.\nD.\nLibrary Building Watch (M. Merrick)\nRecording Secretary Merrick spoke about how busy things had been with preparing\nfor the Library opening. Getting the Library Building Watch \"out-the-door\" requires\nseveral hours of work and that big a chunk of time has just not been available.\nConsequently, no issue was released in October. No promises were made for a\nNovember issue either, as things are still moving along at a very brisk pace. By\nDecember, Merrick expects the Library to be a little more established, and things\nwill hopefully slow down a bit. The next issue that is released might include some\nsort of newsletter re-naming contest, as \"Library Building Watch\" is no longer so\nappropriate. Past issues may be displayed at the information desk with a sign-up\nsheet near-by to try to generate interest in receiving the newsletter.", "path": "LibraryBoard/2006-11-08.pdf"}

The\nchildren's area is right outside the Caf\u00e9 and they could watch you as you are eating which\ncould be disturbing. The lighted reading/work tables aren't lit all the way to the edges and\ngive off a glare. If you are sitting with your back to the computers they give off a magnetic\nfield and people don't want that. Board President Butter asked Director Chisaki to look into\nthese issues.\nLIBRARY BOARD COMMUNICATIONS\nVice President Belikove spoke about volunteers in the Library, questioning if there would\nbe a coordinator. Director Chisaki indicated that the Library would be recruiting for a full-\ntime Library Technician, and one of their primary responsibilities would be volunteer\ncoordination. Names and contact information of the people who gave their time at the\nopening events have been compiled and held on to for future volunteer opportunities. The\nLibrary is currently working on recruiting some high school students to come in and shelve\nbooks as the Library Aides can't keep up with the increased flow. The students could use\nthis opportunity to do their community service hours.\nVice President Belikove questioned the position of the Library Board in the community.\nShe would like to build some higher visibility thinking that some people don't even know\nthere is a Board. An example was given that at the Gala, other various groups were\nrepresented on the stairs when the speeches were made, but no Library Board members.\nBelikove would like to reposition the board as a significant part of the community. Director\nChisaki did not know who was going to speak until the day before the event. Admittedly, it\nwas not a well-done speaking ceremony. She felt there were a lot of people unrepresented.\nWhen community meetings are held to discuss branch improvements, Director Chisaki\nexpects the Board to take a big role in the decision-making process. Board Member\nKrongold brought up training the Board had received a couple years back on what their\nrole/goals should be. She will look for her notes from that. President Butter suggested the\nissue be agendized for broader discussion at the December meeting.\nBoard Member Mitchell said that since we' re not getting many complaints something must\nbe going right. Board Member Krongold said that in a class she takes, she has overhead\nmany positive comments herself from people that don't know she is a Library Board\nmember. President Butter congratulated Director Chisaki and her staff for their successes.", "path": "LibraryBoard/2006-11-08.pdf"}

This could be prepared by the Board\nitself or perhaps by the City Council. The Board could ask the City Council to declare\nFriends of the Library Day. Director Chisaki said that in the last fiscal year, the Friends\nhave given the Library almost $100,000. Friends President Skeen will check to see when\ntheir anniversary is, and that might be an appropriate day to designate.\nDIRECTOR'S COMMENTS\nDirector Chisaki indicated that in the 4 1/2 hours the Library was open, slightly less than\n2,000 people came through the doors on Opening Day. Friday, almost 3,000 people came in\nand there were no special programs that day. A little more than 5,500 people came through\non Saturday, which was Family Day. From Sunday through just before the board meeting\nan additional 13,000+ people had visited the Library. 650 new applications for Library\ncards had been received. Director Chisaki is hoping for the daily door count at the Main\nLibrary to settle to about 1,200 people a day.\nThe book drop signage is not in place yet. Signs have been taped on the front door directing\npeople to put their items in the book drop on the wall, as opposed to bringing them inside to\nreturn them.\nEight different groups have been booked into our meeting spaces, and there are many more\nvying for their use. The Library is not prepared to allow room use during the hours we are\nnot open yet, as staff would have to work extra hours at night and also be the only one in the\nbuilding. The cost of an attendant is covered in the policy; the group using the room would\nbe required to pay $25 per hour. The attendant would probably be a Library Technician;\nthey would have to be responsible for checking the building, setting the alarm and locking\nup when the group was finished.\nThe CALTAC Workshop, the Alameda Youth Collaborative, the Alameda Lupus Group, the\nFriends and Foundation, the Mayor's Conference and Becker Media have all been booked\ninto the meeting rooms. The Alameda Art Association is also considering meeting here.\nBoard Member Krongold loved the wood rabbit sculpture in the children's area. Staff has\nbeen instructed to ensure there are always books on it, as it appears to be a staircase and the\nchildren are climbing all over it.\nHonora Murphy may be hosting a fundraiser to get the additional art pieces funded,\nincluding the standing bronze sculpture for the lobby area, and a trellis that would go on the\nwall in the children's area. Both these pieces are by artist Michael Carey, and have not been\ncommissioned yet.\nThe Board inquired about pictures taken at the dedication. There were a few photographers\npresent, not all of them invited. In fact, Director Chisaki has already received a CD of\npictures taken by a David Duffy - someone she did not know. The person that had been\ninvited to take digital pictures was Patrick Tracy, and he is supposed to send in a CD. Stan", "path": "LibraryBoard/2006-11-08.pdf"}

He\nwill send Director Chisaki a DVD, and also broadcast the event on the AP&T Alameda\nchannel. Press releases had been sent to the Journal, the Sun, the Times Star, the Chronicle,\nseveral radio stations and all the television stations. It is unknown which of these groups\nactually showed up at the event. Stan Bunger gave a couple of plugs on KCBS in the\nmorning before the ceremony.\nBoard Member Mitchell complimented both Director Chisaki and Board President Butter\nfor the talks they gave. He thought they were excellent, succinct and to the point.\nDirector Chisaki mentioned that staff has worked incredibly hard to get the Library ready\nfor this opening, and once it opened, they had been real troopers. The long hours that have\nbeen put in, and the lack of complaints have been amazing. Vice President Belikove\ninquired if there was anything the Board could do to honor the staff. This will be given\nsome thought; suggestions are welcome. City Manager, Debra Kurita, will co-host a coffee\nand pastry event with Director Chisaki, to thank the staff for the successful opening as well.\nThe branch staff also deserves recognition for carrying the load while the Main Library was\nclosed, which was considerable.\nCommunity meetings for branch improvements will probably be scheduled to begin in late\nJanuary, once things are a little more settled. Councilmember Matarrese has a flyer out\nregarding this already, asking the community for ideas on what could be done to improve\nthe branches.\nADJOURNMENT\nBoard President Butter called for a motion to adjourn the meeting at 8:07 p.m. Board\nMember Mitchell SO moved, Board Member Krongold seconded the motion, and it was\ncarried by a 5-0 vote.\nRespectfully submitted,\nJane Chisaki\nLibrary Director and\nSecretary to the Library Board\nThis meeting's agenda was posted 72 hours in advance in accordance with the Brown Act.", "path": "LibraryBoard/2006-11-08.pdf"}
