Library Board of Trustees <br /> Meeting Minutes <br /> May 9, 2013 <br /> Page 3 of 3 <br /> B. City-wide Employee Survey <br /> Becky provided a general overview of the results from the survey conducted in December <br /> 2012, as well as what Beth Barrett and supervisors are working on to address areas of <br /> concern in the Library. <br /> C. Summer Reading <br /> Becky noted that along with the standard incentive-based programs for all groups, this <br /> year includes an early literacy program that is activity-based. Parents can choose either <br /> program and can switch at any point. There will be an archeological program for <br /> families, presented by the CU Museum of Nature and Science, on June 15 to kick off the <br /> programs. There will also be author events for children and adults. <br /> Shari reintroduced the idea of having kids choose a non-profit for the Foundation's $500 <br /> charity contribution. Becky noted that the Foundation has elected not to fund that <br /> endeavor this year. After discussion, individual Board members committed to a $300 <br /> donation, if staff is willing to do the work to reinstate the program. Becky indicated that <br /> staff's Summer Reading agenda is full right now and staff is not likely to be able to take <br /> on a project with such a short timeframe. <br /> Becky also informed the Board about the second annual `One Book 4 Colorado' program, <br /> which is spearheaded by the Lt. Governor. This is a statewide initiative to give every 4- <br /> year-old a new book. Louisville will distribute its books in the Library and through <br /> preschools. <br /> D. Annual Circulation Statistics, 2008-2012 <br /> 1) Impact of Street Faire, June Et July (Summer Reading) <br /> Becky reviewed the chart representing circulation statistics. She noted that the <br /> statistics for Fridays in June and July indicate flat June and July circulation over <br /> the past three years. This corresponds with increased crowds and decreased <br /> parking availability around the Library over that time period. <br /> X. Agenda Items for Next Meeting <br /> A. Guidance from staff regarding eBooks <br /> B. Director's Report <br /> XI. Adjournment <br /> The meeting was adjourned at 7:40pm. <br />
