ii. Questions: <br />1. Will patrons know to read multiple policies (Code of <br />conduct + Youth services) to get to all the info? <br />a. Concern to single out children and teens that <br />they're subject to different expectations. Don't want <br />to send the message that children and teens are a <br />problem. <br />b. Decision to move forward with "All patrons are <br />subject to the Louisville Library code of Conduct" <br />under the "Use of Children's area and teen loft" <br />section. <br />b. Volunteer policy <br />i. Got feedback from HR dept and city attorney <br />ii. Original policy felt more like "handbook", tried to make the policy <br />focused on policy only. Seperate project maybe next year to revisit <br />the volunteer handbook. Make it more robust. <br />iii. Could we revisit Intellectual Property assertion? Make it more <br />clear/narrow, something like "at the request / under the direction of <br />Library staff' to clarify that it's limited to work done while actively <br />volunteering. <br />c. Next meeting Erin Owen will bring the final version for each policy for <br />voting. <br />C. Introduction: Kristen Bodine, Youth Services Supervisor <br />a. Been with the library for 9 years. <br />b. Philosophy - all are welcome. Good gathering and community space, a <br />place to meet up with friends and make new friends. Also find info and <br />entertainment that they seek. Make it feel like an extension of home. <br />Welcome and calm and build connections. Staff's goal is to get to know <br />patrons, build connections, and follow up. Here to help kids and teens <br />grow and thrive. Storytimes - early literacy. Through high schoolers - <br />programs on choosing colleges / standardized tests. <br />c. EDII - thinking about making sure the collection is vibrant and diverse. <br />Windows and mirrors for kids. See yourself in a book and get exposure to <br />people who are different from yourself. <br />D. 2022 Programming Goals <br />a. Library staff and foundation interested in increasing the number and <br />engagement in programming. Proposal to start working with the <br />foundation board a little bit earlier to get the budget approved earlier. <br />Current timeline means by the time the budget is approved, the big <br />summer reading performers are already booked. <br />b. Try to figure out what adults in the community would like re: <br />programming. KPI is participants per program, but also bodies in the <br />door. Maybe will do First Fridays next year. <br />c. Send any program ideas to Director Nemechek. <br />d. Multicultural art and events and programs. Making sure we are bringing <br />programs that align with the city's DEI values. Have gotten feedback that <br />the city only celebrates some things (i.e. Pride months vs other months). <br />E. November Meeting Date <br />
