Elk River Public Library Board Page 5 <br /> November 17,2015 <br /> IIIWill also reported that Pamela Wagman,Library Assistant, attended nine classes at <br /> Zimmerman School in October and talked to school children about library services <br /> and offered library enrollment cards. Will doesn't have the exact number but knows <br /> Pamela got a couple hundred kids enrolled. When asked if this will be an ongoing <br /> event,Will stated that Pamela already goes to schools in Elk River each year before <br /> the summer reading program,but this is a new relationship with Zimmerman and <br /> they are hoping to develop it further. It is challenging for outside entities to get into <br /> schools as the school district has very strict policies. Brandi mentioned that a <br /> Zimmerman community group approached GRRL about providing more services to <br /> Zimmerman. <br /> In October,Toddler Time, Story Time and Baby Bounce brought in the largest <br /> portion of attendance with 250 attendees. It not only brings in parents who haven't <br /> been to the library since they were kids,but it also promotes literacy in our next <br /> generation of readers. <br /> Chair Dietz asked Will if he would provide a written report for the meeting in the <br /> future. <br /> 6.1.a Review of Mission Statement and GRRL Contract <br /> Chair Dietz would like everybody to read these documents as a refresher and <br /> III questions on the Mission Statement regarding incorrect wording, e.g., referring to <br /> the "Board of Directors"; further defining the statement"encourage local special <br /> programming" and remove the word"Directors" throughout the document. <br /> Laura Wetch will update these documents and provide a draft for review in January. <br /> 6.1.b Chair Dietz would like to divide the grounds/building into sections wherein each <br /> Board member will take a section and review their area prior to a meeting and <br /> provide an update. Chair Dietz provided a draft assignment list and asked everybody <br /> to review their tentative area of responsibility. She also handed out an aerial map to <br /> help identify the defined grounds and asked not to share the map because she was <br /> told the map is not for public use. <br /> Chair Dietz would like everyone to review their tentative assignments and be <br /> prepared to discuss this at the January meeting. <br /> 7.
