1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,000
 I'm sorry.

2
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,000
 Um, now calling to order the, uh,

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,000
 library board of the city of Denton.

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:21,000
 Um, starting out with.

5
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,000
 Presentations from members of the public.

6
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,000
 We don't have any.

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,000
 Um,

8
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,000
 Okay. Items for consideration.

9
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,000
 Uh,

10
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,000
 Consider approval of the minutes of April 8th, 2021.

11
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:42,000
 So moved.

12
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,000
 Anybody like a second.

13
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,000
 Laura seconds.

14
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,000
 Okay. All in favor.

15
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,000
 Aye.

16
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,000
 Okay. Let's move forward.

17
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,000
 Um, now, of course, it went away.

18
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,000
 Okay. There we go.

19
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,000
 Um,

20
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:13,000
 Receive an informational report and hold a discussion regarding the friends of the Denton public libraries.

21
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,000
 Um, can you guys hear me? Okay. Yeah.

22
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:23,000
 Um, the friends board met on April 15th and discuss the status of future book sales.

23
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:30,000
 Uh, they haven't made a decision yet, but they will decide whether to have the August book sale at their next meeting in July.

24
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:36,000
 Uh, during the meeting, the friends board voted to approve a new three year agreement with the library.

25
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,000
 Um, their bookstore opened back up on May 1st.

26
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:45,000
 They have an acrylic shield at the counter and plenty of PPE.

27
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:53,000
 Um, at this time, they're not advertising that they are open yet and they're not limiting the number of people who can come in at this point.

28
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,000
 They kind of want to wait and see how things go.

29
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:06,000
 Um, as of March 31st, 2021, they had $22,280 in their checking account.

30
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000
 That's it.

31
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,000
 Great.

32
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,000
 Hey, did you have anything to get out of that, Jennifer?

33
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:18,000
 No, that was more comprehensive than I had.

34
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:24,000
 Receive an informational report and hold the discussion regarding the Emily Fowler library foundation.

35
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:29,000
 Um, so really no changes there. They did get a $50 donation for their checking account.

36
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,000
 Um, and then I'm going to be reaching out to the three trustees.

37
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:42,000
 The grand opening for the Nook Park behind Emily Fowler Center Libraries being coordinated on June 21st.

38
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:53,000
 And, um, we're asking if one of them can do a brief speech, um, as part of that, since they did donate $15,000 for that.

39
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,000
 Okay.

40
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:05,000
 Receive a report and hold a discussion regarding library phase reopening plans during the COVID-19 pandemic.

41
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,000
 All right. Well, we're open.

42
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,000
 So we're very excited about that.

43
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:17,000
 Um, on May 1st, we open for drop-in access, um, and in phase three, adapted services.

44
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:28,000
 We expanded our temporary hours, so we aren't quite back to where we were pre-COVID, but each branch is open nine to six for their opening days.

45
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:34,000
 And then each branch has one evening where they're open, um, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

46
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:40,000
 Um, and we've got those spread across the branches. So three nights a week, a library is open till 9 p.m.

47
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,000
 We have Monday through Saturday service right now.

48
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,000
 Um, curbside hold pickup is available at the North Branch still.

49
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:58,000
 Um, but, um, Emily Feller and South, South Branch are not set up or staffed for that curbside service, so that halted once we opened the doors.

50
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:04,000
 Um, we added, pardon me, grab-and-go browsing, um, with self-check.

51
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:14,000
 Those are available for first-come, first-serve. Um, and then we added also access to our study rooms for first-come, first-serve use of the study rooms.

52
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:25,000
 Um, and we're so excited. Um, y'all reviewed the programs at the last meeting, so we're going into that phased virtual/in-person programming.

53
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:33,000
 Um, we had our first, um, youth program was this morning at South Lakes Park in the pavilion.

54
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:39,000
 It was a story time, and they had 18 attendees, which was good for kind of easing back into it.

55
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:51,000
 I expect those numbers to continue to grow. Um, but we're getting good feedback so far, no issues. Um, everything has gone really smoothly, knocking on wood.

56
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:59,000
 Excellent. Um, I have a question. Um, computer time, is that more limited than it would have been before?

57
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:16,000
 It's the same technically. Um, before, the rule was two one-hour sessions per day. Um, however, in the past, if there was no one waiting, we would extend the time. Um, just, we just did that as a courtesy because it's an empty computer, no one was waiting.

58
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:28,000
 Um, so at this time, we're still kind of holding to our, what the rules are. Um, over the summer, we do expect to slowly kind of bring some things back, so less paying attention to those time limits.

59
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:39,000
 Um, bringing some furniture back slowly so people can sit down and enjoy, but more spread out. Um, opening up the water fountains, those kinds of things.

60
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:53,000
 Okay. Anybody else? Okay. Excuse me. Receive a report, hold a discussion, and give staff direction regarding the 2021 Summer Reading Challenge Program.

61
00:05:53,000 --> 00:06:08,000
 And I'd like to introduce Casey Fenucci. She is our Summer Reading Challenge Chair for this year, and she's going to give you the update on Summer Reading Challenge this year.

62
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,000
 Hello.

63
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:24,000
 Hello. Good to see you all. Glad to be here. So our Summer Reading Challenge is coming back for 2021. We're very excited. It's going to be starting on May 27th, and so that is the last day of school for Denton ISD.

64
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:48,000
 It goes through July 31st. This year we are completely online. Everyone can sign up at denton.readsquared.com beginning on May 27th. There is no library card required, so anyone can participate no matter where they live since it's virtual, and people of all ages are encouraged to join the challenge, there's no age limit.

65
00:06:48,000 --> 00:07:05,000
 The goals of the program are to prepare very young children for success by developing their pre-literacy skills, helping children build their reading and language skills, motivating teens to read, and encouraging adults to experience the joy of reading.

66
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:30,000
 So, as we are completely online, we will not have paper logs, however we will have teen volunteers at all three locations to assist customers with signing up online. There is also an optional reading log that is available for download from the website that will not be returned to the buildings, it's just for children to have a visual way of tracking their time.

67
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:44,000
 And we participate in the annual theme that is chosen by the Collaborative Summer Library Program. So that theme this year is "Tales and Tales." So that's "Tales" spelled two different ways, and it's all about animals.

68
00:07:44,000 --> 00:08:06,000
 So for our kickoff, which will be Friday, May 28th, we are having a virtual show put on by the Fort Worth Zoo. There will be one at 10am and one at 2pm, so hopefully we can have quite a few different people attend, and we'll be telling them about the rules of the challenge, and then they'll get to see a live showcase of animals.

69
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:18,000
 For our ending celebration, we will have a virtual pet parade where children can show their animals at home, and so that will be a Zoom meeting just like this where everyone can participate.

70
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:38,000
 So for our prize structure, it will be the same as last year, where after reading five hours, everyone can come choose a book that's theirs to keep. The five hours after that is another book prize that they get to choose, and then any additional five hours is an entry into a raffle for a prize basket.

71
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:51,000
 And we'll have a certain number of prize baskets for each age group, and they'll be age appropriate and they'll fit with the animal theme. For marketing, we will be doing a big push on social media.

72
00:08:51,000 --> 00:09:00,000
 We have bookmarks that are already being handed out at our drive-through window and in the library locations. Those have the dates and the website on them.

73
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:13,000
 We plug the challenge at all of our programs where we mention it and encourage people to sign up. People will see our tables with volunteers as they walk in the building where people will go over to register.

74
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:32,000
 And then we are sending out digital flyers to schools in our area, and we are featuring an ad in the Citizen Connection newsletter for June, and we'll also have a banner hanging over Locust near Parkway that advertises the dates and the challenge.

75
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:50,000
 So that's all I have. Oh yes, the commercial, we filmed a commercial, and there are dogs in it and people reading and it just was, we actually got the final version today and it's going to be released on May 17th on VTV and social media.

76
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:57,000
 So, so it'll be on social media, we can just go find it. You'll see it on the 17th. Great.

77
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,000
 Cool. Thank you. You're welcome.

78
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:06,000
 Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait, come back, come back.

79
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:20,000
 I wanted to tell you that you know I do the book review column for the Denton Record Chronicles so my June will be on TAILS and it will be all children's.

80
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:36,000
 And maybe a few young adults, and then the July one will be TAALS and it will be young adult and adult on like Arthurian legends, Greek legends, all of those kinds of things so wonderful.

81
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,000
 Yeah, those two will be part of that.

82
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:51,000
 Great so you and I have emailed before about getting some teen volunteer participation, but with the pandemic it wasn't possible but if you would like to try that again I'd be more than happy to.

83
00:10:51,000 --> 00:11:10,000
 Great. I'm pretty I've got all my things for this year columns already sorted, but for next spring, we can definitely start that right after Christmas, and I'll have my May column be that that sounds good.

84
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,000
 Thank you.

85
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:22,000
 Alright, next.

86
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:32,000
 The Nook Park is there's a grand opening being scheduled it's tied into the 2021 make music day, which will be June 21, that's a Monday.

87
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:46,000
 There will be musical events happening all over the city, but the Nook Park will host several of them including a story time in the morning. And then, either right before kind of after lunchtime there's going to be a grand opening celebration

88
00:11:46,000 --> 00:12:05,000
 with Rotary Club, I mentioned the foundation and some other organizations coming so I invite all of y'all there as we get more details about that agenda I'll send it out to the board. Also, but should be exciting and a musical.

89
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:16,000
 That was June 21. June 21. It's a Monday. It's a Monday. Cool. I'm off Mondays.

90
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,000
 Okay. Anybody else have questions. Okay.

91
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,000
 Library Card Youth Art Contest.

92
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:40,000
 So we kicked off the Youth Art Contest for a youth courtesy youth card. Oh my gosh all those words. And we had over 267 entries that was my count last week but I know it's been updated.

93
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:54,000
 The entries are broken down into age groups. And then we have a panel of art experts three art experts who will be judging the contest so for each age group, there will be a winner.

94
00:12:54,000 --> 00:13:10,000
 And each of those winners, we will do a short run of library cards based on their artwork so anybody who wants to get a replacement card can do that. And that's what we'll be issuing for new card holders also.

95
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:18,000
 So, very exciting so hope by next the next meeting will have those winners and you can see that artwork.

96
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,000
 Very cool.

97
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:36,000
 Next space update. All right. So I did send out photos at the last meeting mostly what we had was boxes and paper from said boxes as we were unpacking things, and I sent out a photo and it's attached to the agenda.

98
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:47,000
 If anybody's watching kind of a walkthrough of the new maker space and North Branch had the forge, it's moved to a larger room what was the reference room.

99
00:13:47,000 --> 00:14:00,000
 And so when you walk into the room on the left we've got some beautiful see through storage cabinets so whatever's in storage that does have to be secured but now you can see it to know what's in there and ask for it.

100
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:18,000
 We have a temporary staff service get desk, the new one should be in towards the end of the grant period. And it's coming from New Zealand of all places. And so, who knew that that's where their factory was.

101
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:32,000
 It's beautiful. It's beautiful. And so that'll be in later but right now we have a table that we're using. And behind the second storage cabinet is where we're going to put our t shirt press.

102
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:38,000
 So we're just waiting on the cart that will hold that to come in before that comes out.

103
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:53,000
 We're still waiting on the CNC machine that will be on the left side of the back wall that should be arriving in the next week or two. And then we have two laser engravers those have arrived, and we're working with facilities to get the ventilation

104
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:57,000
 cut through the wall to get those operational.

105
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:15,000
 And then there is a short storage cabinet. As we turn the corner, and then there will be two 3D printers on a table along the sidewall which currently are in the old forge because we don't want them to be affected by the dust from the ventilation

106
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,000
 construction.

107
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:34,000
 They're temporarily in the old forge but that's where they will go. And then we have our new large 27 inch laminating machine in there, the new tables with the existing computers are already set up.

108
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:52,000
 The new services is working with us, those should be networked and up and running, probably in the next two weeks or so. And then the large screen monitors that would go in front of those that computer lab configuration will be moved into that room at that time also.

109
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:58,000
 Some of the equipment that we had already in the forge is moved in there and available also.

110
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:08,000
 So, the LSE or AccuCut, I keep saying LSE, AccuCut die cutting machine that's going to be available.

111
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:23,000
 And then we also have the snap circuits, soldering irons, things like that. So as we're getting those set up, and the safety sheets are being developed and the training is going on with staff we're making those things available for the public.

112
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:35,000
 We have button makers, those are out, and we invite anyone to come by and make a button for free to test it out so we have a one inch button maker or 2.25 inch button maker.

113
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:50,000
 So, start testing out some of our equipment we also have a cricket machine, and that is available for anyone to come out and use anybody who wants to use that they just create their own account with that design software, then they can come in and bring their own

114
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:55,000
 and start making their, making their design.

115
00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:01,000
 So the area is open. It is open Saturdays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays right now.

116
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:08,000
 And anybody can walk in and we will happily show them around we're so excited about everything that's going on in there.

117
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:16,000
 And like I said, as, as we get that equipment set up and staff is trained then we start, it's just available for the public at that point.

118
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,000
 There are several programs that are already scheduled.

119
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:33,000
 Casey had her first program last week, last night, and it was 3D printing, they 3D printed planters and then planted plants in there.

120
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:45,000
 So people were thrilled and there's a big post on Facebook right now with the Denton plant sharing group that just raving about the program so we're very excited about that.

121
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,000
 So come on down if you haven't seen it yet.

122
00:17:48,000 --> 00:18:00,000
 I have a question about that the program you just talked about so that so they like, how many people participated or could we be able to.

123
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:08,000
 So right now we have pretty limited for our in person inside the building programs.

124
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:14,000
 For programs in the forge we have a limit capacity of six and five cane.

125
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:29,000
 Okay, and then so they come in and they what they're shown how the 3D printer works, or they, they had to pre register, because the 3D printing is not immediate, we had to pre print those.

126
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:47,000
 So we had those ready to go. And then they got to hear all about the three, basically there was a big plug for 3D printing. And then they got to plant their plants inside there. Anything else.

127
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:59,000
 It was a tie in with mental health awareness month, and so they tied in. Basically, the stress release of gardening and planting and watching things grow so there was discussion about that too.

128
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:04,000
 Okay. All right. And so did the 3D printers run at all during the program.

129
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:18,000
 If they were running they were just running with other people's printouts. Okay, they were in the other room because the dust. Okay. All right. Thanks. Anybody else. Oh, yes ma'am.

130
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:35,000
 I asked several times at the drive thru window. If the schedule of programs is printed yet, and they keep telling me no it's online, I don't like online. I'm old. I like things to hold in my hands have they been printed yet.

131
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:51,000
 So, we originally weren't going to print them but after you had expressed interest in that last month. We're doing a short run. They are at the printers right now we're waiting for the final quote and then they'll get on the printing press so it should, it should be soon but I don't have an exact

132
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:56,000
 date yet but it is in process. All right, thank you.

133
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,000
 Okay, anything else.

134
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,000
 Okay.

135
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,000
 The cares grant update.

136
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:17,000
 The cares grant update for cares grant. We did receive funding for adding to our digital materials collection ebooks and digital audio books. Those have all been purchased and are available in the collection.

137
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:37,000
 We did get a note in those catalog records that they, those were funded through the grant. It was, let me get that amount here was 316 ebooks and audio books were purchased, and those came in throughout April.

138
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:53,000
 And so during that month they had already circulated 354 times. Wow. And so, those, those are very popular, and the selection was based on the patron requests we went there first with our selection.

139
00:20:53,000 --> 00:21:10,000
 We also ordered 15 more circulating Wi Fi hotspots, and those were just finished being processed today and so they are being shipped out to the branches and they'll be on the shelves or the whole shelf probably because we have a social media

140
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:15,000
 post going about that tomorrow morning to remind people that those are available.

141
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:28,000
 And so those are on their way. And then the Wi Fi expansion for outdoor Wi Fi in the parking lots and then the park, those that equipment has been ordered.

142
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:43,000
 Just with all the shipping delays that have occurred through to coven. We're expecting the equipment to possibly come in by the end of May, and then TS is ready to install as soon as as soon as it comes in that's all they're waiting on at this

143
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:49,000
 point so we'll, we'll be doing a lot of promotion once that happens.

144
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,000
 Okay.

145
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,000
 All right.

146
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,000
 Text treasures grant update.

147
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:16,000
 Laura Douglas and her special collections team were awarded a wonderful grant from Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Texas State Library to digitize our older issues of the Denton record Chronicle to try to preserve them because

148
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:28,000
 of their microfation microfilm and that it lasts for a while but not forever. So this is our second year with the grant. Everything has been digitized this year.

149
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:40,000
 It's up on the portal to Texas history, and the link is in the AIS that was attached to the agenda if anybody wanted to see what was in that collection.

150
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:54,000
 And she has already submitted the grant for the third year so we're waiting, waiting to hear if we will get a third year of that grant, but your two has been digitized now.

151
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,000
 Excellent, excellent.

152
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,000
 Okay.

153
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,000
 Collection process reinstatement.

154
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:18,000
 So, when coven hit one of the things we did was we halted our collection process. So with our circulation policy, if you have something that's overdue before it's do you'll get a notification with a reminder.

155
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:35,000
 Once it's overdue you get a notification saying you forgot to turn it in after seven days, you get another one at 14 days after 21 days that item switches to build status so the cost of the item is just charged to your account.

156
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:42,000
 Now keep in mind we do not charge overdue fine so at any point, if any of those materials are turned in.

157
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,000
 There's nothing on your account no charge or anything.

158
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:50,000
 After an item has been overdue 81 days.

159
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,000
 So that is considered long overdue.

160
00:23:53,000 --> 00:24:02,000
 Then we use a library specific collection agency. This is not a credit agency nothing goes on anyone's credit credit report.

161
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:10,000
 And they just give gentle reminder calls they're very focused on customer service because they understand that libraries want to keep their customers.

162
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:27,000
 And so, at that point, a fee for that service is added to the patrons account. So if the patron does return the items, the cost of the item goes away but that fee remains on their account they are still, they still have to pay that we had stopped

163
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:43,000
 that process when covert head, and we are in discussions to start it back up now that we're open again, but we didn't want to start cold so our plan is to start with the oldest items which now are a year overdue.

164
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:59,000
 And there's only a few thank goodness that are that old, and we were going to contact them first with an additional courtesy notice to say hey we're going to start this up, please return your items before that charge ends up on your account.

165
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:07,000
 But to give them a heads up, even though they received all those notices, it's been a long time, and we wanted to remind them again.

166
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:24,000
 So we're looking to reinstate that service. Later this summer, but wanted to let you all know our process for going about that anybody that was sent to collections we would start with the email reminder, please get it in, give them several

167
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:33,000
 weeks to a month to return it before the account was sent them to the collection agency.

168
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:38,000
 Okay, any questions. No.

169
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:56,000
 Okay, moving on consider recommending to the city council approval of an ordinance of the city of the city of the city of Denton, Texas, adopting a schedule of fees for the Denton Public Library superseding all prior ordinances establishing fees and conflict

170
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:05,000
 management for the Forge schedule, providing for several several ability and providing for an effective date.

171
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:23,000
 So we do have an official schedule of fees and that includes things like lost cases if you lost a case or an RFID tag was ripped out, or pieces from a kit went missing, or those collection fees that were assessed.

172
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:41,000
 And with the Forge we have so much more equipment that we need to provide materials for so we need to update that fee schedule and the updates that we are recommending to you all that hopefully you will vote to recommend to council are raising the 3D printing

173
00:26:41,000 --> 00:27:00,000
 and match the current costs that we're paying for filament, which would be 75 cents for per 10 grams, and then adding maker space material costs for laminating costs for the large laminator at 50 cents a linear foot, and then selling miscellaneous

174
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:22,000
 materials in kind of price size categories of $1 250 $5 $10 or $15. And we're looking at that breakdown based on that cost so some of the things that we're looking at selling for materials are there's some cute shapes for little dog tags, whether

175
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:40,000
 they're for your pets or for necklaces or crafts, and those are about $1 so that would be in the $1 category, something in the 250 category might be, there's some cute leather ornaments for Christmas, that you could use on the laser engraver.

176
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:47,000
 Some of the higher price one there's some really nice cutting boards that you could engrave on with the laser engraver.

177
00:27:47,000 --> 00:28:03,000
 And then there are raw materials that, because we wanted people to be able to come in and just start using equipment, without having to come in and go oh no I have to order that and leave and go to a store order something online.

178
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:12,000
 So there would be raw materials of sheets of acrylic or sheets of wood that would work in the laser engraver, or the CNC machine.

179
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:17,000
 So, those would be the materials.

180
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:26,000
 Are these priced at cost to us, or are they cheap and so they're cheaper than Michaels or Hobby Lobby or things like that.

181
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:30,000
 Yeah, we but we're planning to buy in bulk.

182
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:38,000
 And so, it's just whatever we calculate what that cost is, and it would fit in one of those categories.

183
00:28:38,000 --> 00:29:01,000
 So, one of the things in the $1 category is the button making sets, which would be a Ziploc bag with for the one inch buttons it would be eight sets you could make eight buttons for $1 or six of the two, 2.25 inch buttons for $1 and we just calculate that cost.

184
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:11,000
 If you have equipment you can bring your own materials like the cricket, you bring your own vinyl we aren't selling that but particularly the laser engraver because we are concerned.

185
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:28,000
 There are certain plastics that can produce toxic fumes. So, if you're doing acrylic it has to be either one that we provide, or there is one vendor that is guaranteed to work and not cause anyone to get sick it's the correct kind.

186
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:35,000
 You can come in and show us, and it has a special decal on it so we can tell what it is.

187
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,000
 But, yeah.

188
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:43,000
 Okay, going back to what you just said then. So if I wanted to make a t shirt.

189
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:54,000
 You need the cricket, the vinyl so I'd have to bring my t shirt and my vinyl to there that I wouldn't be able to get there. Correct.

190
00:29:54,000 --> 00:30:00,000
 So there won't be there won't be vinyl for sale, not for the cricket. Okay.

191
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:06,000
 Interesting. Okay, the iron on and those kinds of things.

192
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,000
 Okay.

193
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,000
 All right, does anybody else have questions.

194
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:15,000
 Does anyone want to motion.

195
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:23,000
 I make, I make a motion that we accept the suggested fees for the library.

196
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,000
 Dr. James second. Okay.

197
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,000
 All in favor.

198
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,000
 Say aye.

199
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,000
 Okay. Opposed same sign.

200
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:38,000
 No post. Okay, that passes.

201
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,000
 Wait a minute.

202
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:46,000
 I apologize I have a little clunky system here.

203
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:57,000
 Receive a report hold the discussion and consider recommending approval of the following dent in public library policy updates integrated library system policy.

204
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:18,000
 This one hardly had any changes we had to change the name of two titles positions because we did that reorg over the summer. So, now we have circulation supervisor, and instead of la one we have la choose that the content, otherwise, there were, there was no change.

205
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,000
 Okay, we need to vote on it right.

206
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:27,000
 Yes. Okay, can somebody motion.

207
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:32,000
 Okay, Laura motions and second.

208
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,000
 Jim seconds. All right.

209
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,000
 All in favor say aye.

210
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,000
 Aye.

211
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,000
 Raise your hand.

212
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,000
 I'll post same sign.

213
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:48,000
 Okay. And then also the policy the collection development policy.

214
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:55,000
 So there were nominal changes to this policy this is the policy that guides us and what we're purchasing in our collection.

215
00:31:55,000 --> 00:32:02,000
 So we did update the mission statement, because it had the old mission statement on there.

216
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:20,000
 We also updated the description the community description to reflect current statistics, anywhere that DVD was mentioned mentioned we change it to DVD slash blu ray to indicate that new format.

217
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:30,000
 We added a bullet on page three pages three and four kind of breaks there about digital materials.

218
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:39,000
 And we updated the periodical sick section to remove trade periodicals because that's not something we have been collecting.

219
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:44,000
 Those are professional journals for various professions.

220
00:32:44,000 --> 00:33:00,000
 We clarified that materials not purchased are or required only referred to circulating and regular reference collections and not special collections. And then we had combined.

221
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:12,000
 We had stuck the special collections collection development policy at the end of this, and we actually want to separate those out and the board had approved the special collections collection development policy earlier.

222
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:18,000
 So it is already separate we just needed to remove it from this, this one.

223
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,000
 Okay.

224
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:24,000
 Anybody have questions.

225
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:30,000
 Okay, someone motion to pass this.

226
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,000
 Anybody.

227
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:41,000
 Okay, let's let Laura do it and I'll second. Okay, sounds good. All right, all in favor say I raise your hand.

228
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,000
 All opposed same sign.

229
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:50,000
 Okay, that past community use forge policy.

230
00:33:50,000 --> 00:34:07,000
 So we had this policy and it has been completely revamped so I can't even go through all the details. I'll summarize the changes. The prior policy was very focused only on 3D printing processes, because at the time that was kind of the, the main feature that we had in the

231
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:21,000
 forge, and we used to allow the room to be rented like we do the meeting rooms for groups for meetings, what we have found is nobody is renting it anyway.

232
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:34,000
 So we wanted to change that and not have that option. The room would be available when it's not open to the public for library programs or if the city needed it for training purposes.

233
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:44,000
 But our concern with making it available for rental as we have some of that equipment that can be dangerous. That's why we staff the forge.

234
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:53,000
 And if somebody's in there we can't guarantee that they may not hurt themselves. And so we didn't want to rent it out anymore.

235
00:34:53,000 --> 00:35:04,000
 So the new policy proposed is much more comprehensive about the use of a full maker space not just 3D printing services.

236
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:24,000
 The, some of the things that rolled over with a clarification about what the equipment can be used to create and what is not allowed with that. That has come up before is someone can someone 3D print a weapon. So no, that is not in our policy.

237
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:35,000
 Patrons would submit their print job to our technology librarian, and he monitors those printouts so it can't sneakily come through.

238
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:58,000
 And then it clarifies just basic usage cleanup what what you're doing before you leave and please don't have food or drinks in their age age limits a little bit of an explanation as we are going to require a waiver for use because we do have some that T shirt press for example gets up to 400 degrees that's pretty hot.

239
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:05,000
 So you have to be very careful and so we do have some waivers coming risk is working on that right now.

240
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:10,000
 So it's a complete revamp of the policy.

241
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:14,000
 Okay. Any questions.

242
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,000
 Okay.

243
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:23,000
 If someone wants to motion that general motion somebody seconds.

244
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:28,000
 Okay.

245
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,000
 All in favor, raise your hand, say aye.

246
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,000
 All opposed same sign.

247
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:39,000
 Okay, was the second on that I didn't see it.

248
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,000
 Okay.

249
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:52,000
 And so, in concluding items we do need to discuss our meeting in person in the schedule.

250
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:58,000
 We can meet in person again, and not interrupt anyone's workday.

251
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:20,000
 So, city council met earlier this week, and there was a proposal to return to in person meetings and so for our, the library board can return to in person meetings are traditional meeting day and time would be the second Monday of each month at 530pm.

252
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:45,000
 The location traditionally rotates between the three branches, North, South and Emily Fowler, and I emailed out a tentative schedule based on that traditional rotation, and just wanted to see if everyone is good to come back starting next month, that would be June 14 at Emily Fowler Central Library.

253
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:46,000
 Great.

254
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,000
 Yes.

255
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,000
 Definitely. Yeah.

256
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:54,000
 Anybody have any issues with the map. No.

257
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,000
 Okay.

258
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:00,000
 Okay, that's great.

259
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,000
 And we can.

260
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:09,000
 I wouldn't have been able to come to this meeting if we weren't doing it virtually though.

261
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:27,000
 Jennifer, can you put on the Jennifer, can you put on the agenda. Since you've rearranged that entire Emily Fowler library taking us on a tour of the library. Yes.

262
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:31,000
 I would love to do that if they did an amazing job.

263
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:46,000
 Staff moved every single book. The only things that didn't move were the DVDs downstairs, music, everything else they moved.

00:38:46,000 --> 00:39:04,000
 At the next meeting also just as a heads up. We've been asked. They are trying to get all boarding commission bylaws, as similar as possible. And we are the outliers that have a president and vice president as opposed to a chair and vice chair.

265
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:16,000
 And so we've been asked to discuss and have you all vote on changing the wording in those bylaws to match that. So just a heads up. It's coming next month. Okay.

266
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:38,000
 Does anybody have any other agenda items they'd like added for next month. Not, not now. Okay.

267
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:50,000
 The meeting of the Denton library board is adjourned at 412 PM. Thank you all so much.
