1. Citizens input.
None.
2. Consideration and approval of the minutes of the Board meeting held Oct 17, 2002.
The minutes were approved as presented.
3. Discussion and consideration of proposed revision to Circulation Policy to include Day
Care Kits.
Acting director Snyder explained that part of last fiscal year's Loan Star Libraries Grant
was used to purchase materials to create story time kits to be loaned to the staff of day
care facilities. The loan period will be a 3-week loan. The proposed revision to define
in the policy the requirements for borrowing the kits reads:
"Day Care kits are available to be checked out on individual patron cards of those
patrons showing proof of employment with a day care center (as defined by the
Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services) at the time of check out.
Acceptable forms of proof may include a staff badge, employee I.D., or letter from
employer."
Acting Director Snyder and the members of the Board discussed the proposal and the
question arose as to why the loan of the kits would be limited to day care centers, as
opposed to including in-home day care providers. Acting Director Snyder noted that
the approved grant proposal was written specifically to provide these materials to local
day care centers and that the grant funding purchased a limited number of kits. It was
recommended that the concept of broadening the scope of the service be considered at
some point in the future should more resources become available.
Member Skelton moved to approve the revision as proposed by staff. Member Clark
seconded the motion and the motion passed unanimously.
