Library Board of Trustees <br />Meeting Minutes <br />MARCH 14, 2013 <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />presented to City Council at its annual meeting with the Board later this year. In <br />addition, the plan will be posted to the Library website. <br />B. Policy Manual Updates <br />With the exception of three items, the Policy Manual has been revised and new pages <br />distributed to the Board. The three items were discussed: 1) Statement Regarding the <br />Library Environment; 2) Statement of Ethics for Library Trustees; and 3) Conflict of <br />Interest Statement. The Board unanimously agreed to remove 1) and 2) and to <br />revise/readopt a conflict of interest statement. Hank noted that all Board members are <br />bound by the ethics and conflict of interest statements in the City Charter. The Board <br />unanimously agreed to include or reference this statement in its Policy Manual. An <br />updated conflict of interest statement and table of contents will be prepared for the <br />next meeting. <br />C. ALA Toolkit Concerning E-books and Public Education Involvement <br />Beth noted that the American Library Association's Libraries and the Internet Toolkit, <br />an existing section in the Board's Policy Manual, has pertinence to e-books and <br />downloadable content with respect to leasing and licensing. She noted that it is useful <br />to keep this in mind when talking about e-books because it provides a longstanding <br />foundation for the position of libraries. <br />D. iHelp <br />The Board discussed various ways in which to educate the community about the <br />availability of this service that helps patrons learn how to download Library e-books. <br />Shari mentioned targeting middle school students who in turn would communicate with <br />their parents. She noted that Fireside was not interested, so she is reluctant to move <br />forward with other schools. Hank Dalton noted that the Youth Advisory Board (YAB) <br />might yield more positive results. This group meets monthly and the Library's teen <br />librarian is a representative. Leslie remarked that it might be more important to <br />educate the community about the issues surround e-book availability rather than teach <br />people how to download e-books. The rationale is that the Library may be creating an <br />expectation that we can't meet. The Board agreed that it needs to do both. <br />Next steps for the Board are to: <br />• Work with Library staff liaison to YAB and City Council (Shari) <br />■ Identify other natural partners, such as student councils, librarians, and the like <br />• Create a petition to send to groups identified by the American Library <br />Association <br />• Evaluate materials in the iHelp communications toolkit and compile information <br />to distribute at iHelp sessions (Jeannie) <br />VIII. New Business <br />A. 2013 Work Plan <br />Beth reviewed the main points of the new Strategic Plan's 2013 work plan. <br />
