Library Board of Trustees Meeting Minutes —DRAFT January 14, 2016 Page 4 of 5 E. The Library in 2015: Statistics Review Beth reviewed the statistics highlighting increased WiFi usage in the Library, increased demand for downloadable materials (e- books), and continued robust program attendance. F. New Board projects for 2016 Sherri summarized the list of projects the Board typically takes on each year including: • One Book 4 Colorado • Staff Luncheon • Back -to- School nights • Little Libraries • Summer outreach at outdoor events such as Farmer's Market Sherri would like members to consider what other activities the Board might want to take on in 2016 and be prepared to discuss some options at the March 2016 meeting. G. Library staff luncheon Sherri noted that the Board currently puts on the annual luncheon during National Library Week in April. The April timeframe is not absolute, and Sherri asked if anyone had a suggestion as to another time. She asked members to think about this and be prepared for discussion at the March 2016 meeting. X. Ongoing Business A. Demographic data analysis (Paul Karizen) Paul noted that he is working on another analysis that will provide more data privacy. This will be presented at the March 2016 meeting. B. Biannual City newsletter insert for the Library Sherri provided an overview of this project that began in 2015. She asked Board members to think about what they might want to highlight about the Library and asked members also to consider volunteering for the newsletter design. The inserts will be included in the June and August newsletters that go to all residents of Louisville. The insert will also be sent to the Town of Superior for their use. C. Introductory Library visits with Learning Source classes Sherri noted that since this is a new program and participants will be new to the Library, Board members may want to take the opportunity to introduce themselves, what the Library means in the community, and to offer a small welcome gift, such as cookies. Beth noted that the schedule for these classes is not yet set. D. Little Libraries Board members discussed the overall condition and usage of the Little Libraries. Sherri volunteered to have a shelf installed in each, and Jeannie Schuman will obtain free paint from the recycling center. Refurbishment will likely take place in April and volunteers will be needed at that time.
