Library Board of Trustees <br />Meeting Minutes —DRAFT <br />NOVEMBER 8, 2012 <br />Page 3 of 5 <br />Additional changes to the objectives were proposed and agreed upon. <br />Beth noted that the Board could vote on the revisions at the next meeting and <br />asked what other types of information the Board wants to include in the 2013 <br />plan. Shari noted that the historical perspective included in previous plans is <br />important but could be edited and then updated annually. Beth noted that the <br />Library Research Service statistics also provide important perspective and <br />context and will be included in the 2013 plan. <br />C. Policy Review <br />1) Service Policy <br />At its September meeting, the Board agreed that the revised policy also needed to <br />include a statement regarding patron confidentiality. Beth prepared the <br />modification, and the policy was unanimously approved by the Board. <br />2) Code of Conduct <br />The policy has been further modified to include statements regarding usage of <br />both children's and teen areas. After a brief discussion, the Board unanimously <br />agreed to adopt the revised policy with two minor changes. <br />D. iHelp Outreach Program <br />Aimee reported that the first iHelp outreach at the Recreation Center (Rec) was not <br />well -attended. However, the second outreach on Nov. 7 at Vic's coffee shop was very <br />well received and lots of fun. Based on feedback, many participants were not aware <br />that the Library had downloadable content. In the future, the iHelp program plans to <br />piggyback with the Senior Center's computer programming classes on Tuesdays and <br />Fridays. <br />E. Recap on City Council Study Session <br />The Library Board of Trustees' annual summary was made by Sherri and Meredith. Sherri <br />produced and Meredith delivered a comprehensive and well -organized PowerPoint <br />presentation that was commended by the Council. <br />VIII. Director's Report <br />A. Boopsie App <br />The Library now has a mobile application (app), which was developed by Boopsie Inc. <br />and launched on October 25. The app allows users of Apple and Android devices to <br />check accounts and renew items, search the catalog and place requests, access the <br />event calendar, get help via phone or email, and connect to the Library's Facebook and <br />Twitter accounts. The Daily Camera and Colorado Hometown News picked up the <br />Library press release. <br />B. 'On The Same Page' Wrap-up <br />Beth noted that the programs were very good but two conflicted with election debates <br />and bad weather. Planned upgrades to the Library meeting room including the ability to <br />record and distribute this type of programming via Channel 8, will make reaching our <br />patrons much easier in these circumstances. <br />The selected book circulated very well, particularly considering there was no <br />participation by Lafayette due to their remodeling and website redesign projects. There <br />was also more limited publicity for this second year of the program. Based on this, costs <br />
