Librarian's report
Ms. Adams called the meeting to order at 4:35 p.m. Minutes were approved from April of 2023.
There being no old business to discuss, Ms. Hausburg displayed the newly updated WFPL employee
policy manual, a goal she and a committee of 3 have been working on during this fiscal year. Board
members who would like to read the new policies should email her and she will send those documents
out.
Ms. Hausburg distributed an infographic with updated statistics for the library's summer reading
program. There has been an enthusiastic response from the community. She also stated during Pride
week in June there were no formal complaints made about any of the materials the library had on
display and only one informal complaint was made by a concerned parent.
Ms. Hausburg then introduced Customer Service Supervisor Jamie Dollar, who talked about an idea she
had implemented to increase the linear footage of shelving for the library's graphic novel collection
(adult) and Biographies. This plan also allowed for the creation of a Research Center room that would
better protect the remaining physical copies of our Reference books.
Lastly, the Board was informed of the addition of a safety bar on the door in the children's area to
allow for quick exi tin case of an emergency. The Board was then taken on a tour to show off those
new updates.
Meeting was adjourned at 5:05 p.m.
Next meeting will by Tuesday, Oct. 3, 2023 at 4:30 p.m.
