LibraryBoard | 2022-05-11 | 3 | Page 3 of 4 Minutes of the Alameda Free Library Board May 11, 2022 Meeting UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. Current and On-Going Library Activities (J. Chisaki) Director Chisaki presented the new proposed schedule of library hours with 5 additional hours. This would allow for more children's programing in the morning, and for staff to have a dedicated time for committee meetings. The new schedule would add only an additional $600 per month in staff time. The new schedule will be implemented with the start of the new fiscal year in July. The Library Board will be voting for the positions of President and Vice President at the July meeting. NEW BUSINESS A. Friends of the Library (J. Chisaki) The Friends are working on a formal grand opening plan for their bookstore. The Café is now open five days per week. Friends are hoping for the concert series to be held in September, October and November, but they are waiting for room occupancy limits to be lifted. Virtual programs continue to be very successful. With permission, the recordings are uploaded to the Friends YouTube channel. There are more views on the YouTube channel than the number of attendees of virtual programs. The book sale at the O'Club will be held on October 21, 22, and 23. B. Patron Suggestions/Comments (Speak-Outs) and Library Director's Response A patron complained that the Library's bathrooms do not have accessible door buttons. Director Chisaki was informed by the City Attorney's office that restroom doors do not require automatic doors to open the restroom for access and the director will reply as such. A patron complained that the parking spaces in the Library parking lot are too small and suggested removing one space to make each space 6" wider. Director Chisaki explained that the spaces are of legal size and there are a required number of spaces to comply with the grant used when the library was being built.
