Communications.  Laura Glunt suggested ways to get the word out to the public about events and resources at the Library.  There are a number of options that we can use to market the library through email. Robly is one option.  Constant Contact is another option. Mass text messaging is another option.

 

Unfinished Business.

 

  • Discussed attending a bond informational webinar May 19. It will be recorded.
  • Amount of money that Library director can use without approval-we did not come up with a number tonight. Is there a way to approve an amount with a email or zoom meeting?
  • Movie licensing is on hold
  • Audio visual is on hold.
  • We will interview Ellen Pitcher after the quarantine.
  • We will have future candidates to put their salary requirement on their cover letter.

 

New Business.

  • Reopening of library will take place in steps as discussed. These steps will be dependent on the Governor’s orders and that status of the crisis at the time.
  • Kim looked into Hoopla for our Library. Discussed because we are not spending our book budget, we could spend it on Hoopla but it is not compatible with our software. Discussed changing to Evergreen. This would require every item to be re-barcoded. We would use Evergreen software. This would require new ID cards for everyone.

What is the cost of getting up and running with Evergreen?  Kim will check into this and get back with us.
