<br />Library Board of Trustees <br />Agenda <br />October 30, 2006 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br /> <br />c. Discussion of Board of Trustee Functions: Past/PresenUFuture <br /> <br />Under the current system of a municipal library, the Board serves in an advisory <br />capacity. If Louisville becomes part of a library district, the Board's role would change <br />to that of a governing board. For informational purposes, another copy of the <br />"Colorado Public Library Board & Trustees Pocket Handbook," prepared by the <br />Colorado State Library, was distributed to Board members. Anne noted that the <br />booklet refers to the Colorado Library Law and other library-related documents. <br /> <br />Mary opened a discussion stating her need for clarity about the Board's future role. <br />Eileen noted that she is very motivated by the outreach and advocacy efforts of the <br />Board over the past two years. Many others agreed but noted that more planning and <br />improved communication are also needed. <br /> <br />There was a consensus that the Board should be involved in more long-range <br />planning and would focus its efforts in 2007 on contributing to the 2008 Strategic <br />Plan. <br /> <br />Jerry suggested forging a closer relationship with the Library Foundation Board and <br />perhaps selecting a liaison. <br /> <br />A final item discussed was a Board-sponsored event to unveil the Sikora artwork <br />once it is finished and placed in the Fireside Reading Room. <br /> <br />D. Advocacy Goals, Officer Slate and Objectives for 2007 <br /> <br />Further discussion on this item was deferred to the post-election November meeting. <br /> <br />4. Adjournment <br /> <br />The meeting was adjourned at 9:00 p.m. <br />
