Peggy is also hoping to begin a story time at the Kestral facility for the children there. <br />Sue asked about EFAA transitional housing on Garfield Avenue. Peggy was not aware <br />of this housing and noted that she and her staff could bring donations to the residence <br />there instead of a regular check out as it is a transitional facility. <br />Vill. Ongoing Business <br />A. Little Free Libraries: Bookmark Marketing <br />The board discussed providing free bookmarks for the little libraries to provide patrons <br />with Library information. board members decided to have one side of the bookmark <br />with information about the library and the other side blank where patrons could leave a <br />message of gratitude or draw a picture and return it to the little library for other patrons <br />to use. <br />B. Superior Board of Trustees update (L. Skladzinski) <br />Laura shared that the Community Center has become very popular and seen a lot more <br />traffic over the last few months. There's a lot more programming including free concerts <br />on Friday and Saturday evenings. The library has also seen a lot more foot traffic. <br />Sharon shared that the library staff added more easy readers in early chapter books <br />that are very popular. Perhaps this is because students are on summer vacation. <br />Lockers are going really well for reserved books for Superior patrons to pick up. Due to <br />Laura's request Sharon will send out door count and circulation numbers for the superior <br />branch. Laura wondered if a shorter pickup time should be considered because the <br />lockers are so popular. Sharon shared that we cannot change the length of time in the <br />lockers and we should continue to evaluate if more lockers need to be purchased in the <br />future. At this time the lockers are popular but the number at the Superior Branch serves <br />patrons' needs. Laura noted lots of positive feedback overall about the library space at <br />the Community Center. She also wondered about the shelf collection. Sharon shared <br />that staff regularly go to the Superior branch and bring popular titles that circulate well. <br />The library staff pulled DVDs because they were not being checked out and added more <br />adult nonfiction because it circulates well. Overall things are going very well at Superior <br />and the story time is really expanding with more families attending each week. <br />C. Library Foundation liaison report <br />Jaime reported that the Library Foundation still plans on running donated book sales at <br />some of the farmers markets this summer. Also they are open to a joint meeting with the <br />Library Board on September 8th. They want to provide the Makerspace with more <br />materials for 3D printing and digitizing pictures. These two services have become very <br />popular. The Foundation has also set up an account through Colorado Gives for fire <br />specific means. This is to help replace collection items that were lost in the Marshall fire <br />over the winter. The foundation needs new board members.. Unfortunately Library <br />Board of Trustees members cannot simultaneously serve as Library Foundation board <br />members. <br />
