Library Board of Trustees Meeting Minutes—DRAFT September 14, 2017 Page 5 of 5 the process for next year and the Library is considering a registration event in the Meeting Room that will include multiple registration stations. This may be something the Board could add to the list of projects for next year. Beth noted that Board members had not been asked to help Library staff with Back -to - School nights this year, as staff did not schedule any. Based on past experience, staff determined that parents are very focused on classes and other issues related to the school, and are much less interested in devoting any time to Library promotions. Staff and Board members' time is better spent on other efforts. 9) Director's Report Beth reported the following: ■ On The Same Page (OTSP) • The first book discussions have been held. Twenty-seven adults attended the first discussion held at the Library on Monday, Sept. 11; a Broncos Monday Night Football evening. • The 'Stories on Stage' performance of excerpts from the book is scheduled for 7pm on Sept. 28. • Mezzo -Soprano Sarah Coit will be featured in two events, a discussion on October 5 and the Lafayette Library, and a recital at the Louisville Arts Center on October 6. • Solar Eclipse • Beth talked about the frenzy over the Library's 2,000 pair of free solar eclipse glasses. The demand, and the lengths to which people would go to obtain their free glasses, were beyond anything that was anticipated. • Scooters in the Library Recently there has been a group of boys who have been bringing scooters into the Library and riding them, swinging them around on the stairs, and causing serious disturbances in general. The Library has adopted an administrative policy that includes providing a lock so that the scooters can be secured to the Library's skateboard rack in the front of the building. Some form of ID and a phone number will be required to obtain a lock. • Digitizing the Louisville Times Currently the issues from 1983-2007 have been digitized and are available through the Colorado Historic Newspaper collection online. Earlier issues of the newspaper are now being digitized. The Library and Museum will host an open house launch party on October 12 to introduce the public to the resource and how to use it.
