Elk River Public Library Board Page 6 <br /> February 9,2016 <br /> GRRL is looking to eliminate the Assistant Director of Patron Services <br /> position,which would result in the Executive Director becoming more <br /> involved in local level decisions. It would also free up funds to hire a third <br /> regional Patron Services Librarian position with emphasis on outreach. <br /> GRRL completed their survey last fall of users and non-users that had about <br /> 1,300 respondents. Results show about 9% are from Elk River; over 70% of <br /> users still check out physical material from the library and other high use <br /> areas are computers and WiFi. <br /> Will and the GRRL's Executive Director will be speaking to the Sherburne <br /> County Commissioners about the strategic plan update and library services <br /> for the county. <br /> 6.8 GRRL Trustee Report <br /> Mary Eberley reported that that the GRRL board elected its officers in <br /> January. <br /> Sherburne County gave 1.25 million dollars to the GRRL budget and is the <br /> second largest county in the system (Stearns is the largest). <br /> The board is working on structure changes to free up the Executive Director <br /> more. <br /> There is a vacancy on the GRRL Board for someone from Sherburne <br /> County. <br /> Right now the Board is meeting every month and holding work sessions on <br /> alternate months to work on the strategic plan with GRRL staff. They are <br /> also working on a library system assessment to provide services to the <br /> populations where brick and mortar buildings are not accessible. <br /> 7.
