LibraryBoard | 2006-08-09 | 5 | Page 5 of 6 Minutes of the Library Board Meeting August 9, 2006 Board Member Schoenrock inquired if there was a goal to post the meeting minutes to the website as well. Merrick responded that it hadn't been discussed previously, but there should be no problem in doing SO. Board President Butter asked Recording Secretary Merrick to begin posting the minutes once they had received the Board's approval. Merrick promised to start this practice immediately. LIBRARY BOARD COMMUNICATIONS None. DIRECTOR'S COMMENTS Director Chisaki passed around pictures she had taken on a recent tour of the new facility. A request was made to put some of the pictures up on the website. Chisaki indicated that she was going to do that but the software she had to use to make thumbnails was on her home computer, and she had trouble accessing the program. Chisaki indicated that Recording Secretary Merrick was evaluating some photo-editing software she had purchased for her home computer, and would offer her opinion on ease of use, functionality, etc. The date for installation of the exterior medallions, Cadence of the Water, is set for August 18-22. The interior mural, Oracle of the Tree, will start installation August 23, and take 5 days to complete. When we move our telephone and servers over to the new Main on September 25, telephone and internet access at all three location will go down. We don't know how long it will take AT&T to bring our servers back up, so we have put a message on the webpage and started doing handouts to the public announcing this temporary interruption of service. During this process, we will be installing wireless access at both the branches, so during the month of October when the Main is closed, patrons will have full service at the branch locations. Director Chisaki said that discussions should start on getting the public's input for making branch improvements, and she cited several items on branch Supervisor Arta Benzie-Youssef's "wish list". Further discussion was tabled by Board President Butter, as she requested that the topic be put on the next meeting's agenda. Chisaki will be on vacation through August 20, returning on Monday, August 21. Board President Butter congratulated Chisaki on her appointment to Library Director, and expressed her pleasure at continuing to work with her for years to come. Chisaki stated that she had promised City Manager Debra Kurita that she would stay on as Director for the next 7-10 years. | LibraryBoard/2006-08-09.pdf |
