3. REPORTS
3A. Librarian's Report
City Librarian Pfledderer noted that overall most program numbers were up. She
noted that the small business center was up and running and we should get
some numbers for that. She noted the various programs went well and additional
programs will be held in the upcoming months.
4. DISCUSSION
4A. Annual Report
City Librarian Pfledderer noted the Annual Report is submitted this time every
year to the Texas State Library for our accreditation requirements for a public
library. She noted what some of the key statistics are including how many
programs we have had, attendees, collection size, registered users, total
circulation, and other items for the fiscal year. She noted the Library always
exceeds the accreditation requirements.
4B. Interlocal Digital Library Agreement
City Librarian Pfledderer said she presented to the City Council on March 21,
2017, about the digital library and has been in talks with local libraries about an
interlocal agreement. Overdrive fees were going to be raised, so the Library
looked at other options and Bibliotheca Cloud Library had lower fees and is
easier to use. Another benefit is that they offer Cloudlink and this allows us to
connect to other libraries for digital resource sharing while maintaining a separate
curated digital library. She said it is a 10-year agreement, but there is an option
to pull out if a better option is available, and the Libraries will have to invest a
minimum of$10,000 annually for materials.
The Board decided to cancel the April meeting due to schedule conflicts and set
the next meeting for May 17.
5. PUBLIC FORUM
Chair Burr opened the public forum at 6:36 p.m. and asked for anyone wishing to
speak to come forward. There being no questions, the public forum was closed
at 6:36 p.m.
6. ADJOURNMENT
The meeting was adjourned by Chair Burr at 6:37 p.m.
