LibraryBoard | 2007-01-10 | 2 | Page 2 of 5 Minutes of the Alameda Free Library Board Meeting January 10, 2007 Board President Butter asked for a motion to approve the Consent Calendar as presented. Board Member Mitchell so moved; Board Member Krongold seconded the motion which carried by a 4-0 vote. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS, NON-AGENDA (Public Comment) President Butter reminded the Board that this item had been moved up on the agenda so members of the public would have their chance to speak without having to sit through the entire meeting. There were no public members wishing to be heard. UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. Art Display Policy and Gifts of Art for the Main Library (J. Chisaki) Director Chisaki spoke about the policy and application drafts. She had also drafted a procedures form so people would know how to go about getting their art exhibited in the Library. There was a reconsideration form as well, which could be used if there were any objections to decisions made by the Library regarding art displays, or perhaps some particular item contained in the Library's collection itself. Some discussion was held regarding location of art exhibits, and even though there are several spaces available within the Library, each has its own logistics issue. Board Member Schoenrock commented that there was nothing mentioned about the possibility that staff members may have to move art pieces during the display period, and any liability that may result from that. Director Chisaki had definitely wanted that in the policy herself, and will ensure language gets added to that effect. Per Member Mitchell's inquiry, the display period for an exhibit will be one month. The Board asked to see the policy one more time with the additions and changes included, and would vote on adoption at the next board meeting. B. Friends of the Library "Week" (J. Chisaki) The Friends anniversary date is March 25th. They will form a committee to come up with ideas for activities similar to what had been done on Family Day. The events will take place during the third week of March, with Saturday, March 24th hosting the bulk of the activities. The Main Library has been the focal point for some time, so many of the programs will be held at the branch libraries. The large community meeting rooms will be booked all day on March 24th for some of the special events. Director Chisaki will write up a proclamation for the Board to review at the next meeting. With their approval, it will then be presented to the City Council at their meeting immediately preceding Saturday the 24th. | LibraryBoard/2007-01-10.pdf |
