Library Board of Trustees Meeting Minutes—DRAFT July 21, 2016 Page 2 of 5 At this juncture, Rita Dozal noted that she believes it would be worthwhile for the Town of Superior to appoint a resident as the voting member of the Board and that she would serve as a liaison to the Board, as does City Council member Ashley Stolzmann. VII. New Business A. Introduction of Rita Dozal, Superior Board of Trustees, as Superior representative to LBOT Brief introductions were made. B. Newly Added Types of Items to Check Out (S. Lamborne) Adult Reference and Business Librarian Sean Lamborne showed several new items that are or will soon be ready for patron check-out. Sean explained that most of these items have been acquired in conjunction with Makerspace programming and the software available for use of the new items (e.g., photo and sound editing). These items include: • Two telescopes donated by the Longmont Astronomical Society • Digital SLR camera and numerous accessories including lenses, carrying case, and backdrops o These items are a combination of purchases and donations from Mike's Camera • Recording device that works with sound equipment and software in the Makerspace • GoPro camera that works with equipment and software in the Makerspace In some cases, the loan rules have not been finalized so items are not yet ready to circulate. Sean also talked about the Colorado State Park Pass program and the items included in the two loanable backpacks provided by the Colorado State Library. C. Infographic for August issue of City Update Newsletter Sherri distributed an updated copy of the two-sided insert and provided a brief overview. D. Citizen Survey Results for the Library Beth noted that in the survey four years ago, the Library was rated good or excellent by 96% of citizens. The Library remained at 96% in the new survey, as well. The ratings for programs and services were both up to 98%. There were a couple of areas that had decreased. The rating for Internet and PC use had declined by 1%. We believe this is likely the result of needed technology upgrades that are planned and budgeted for 2017. Another highlight of the survey: 78% of Louisville residents had used the Library in the past 12 months. E. 10`h Anniversary of Library Building The Library will host an Open House, from 1-3pm on August 6, to celebrate the first 10 years in the new building. No formal events are planned, but there will be some activities for children and a drop-in program in the Makerspace. Cake and lemonade will be served and a small giveaway will be available for attendees.
