Elk River Public Library Board Page 4 <br /> January 24,2017 <br /> • 5.7 Lead Patron Services Supervisors Report <br /> Brandi handed out a brochure titled"Celebrating Arts and Culture" that shows <br /> how libraries spend state Legacy funds. <br /> Brandi noted the job posting for Elk River's Library Services Coordinator was <br /> extended to January 26th to get more views in the Cities area. There are 12 <br /> applicants to date;Brandi is hoping to get a few more applications and to have <br /> someone on board in March. <br /> In the agenda packet Brandi included a GRRL-wide "Year in Review". Mick <br /> asked for a copy from 2015 so she can compare the figures. Brandi noted <br /> circulation was down in 2016 but thinks the closure of the St. Cloud library was a <br /> factor. <br /> GRRL staff are working on establishing a relationship with CentraCare to <br /> provide regional `library starter kits' for babies. <br /> 5.8 Library Services Coordinator Report <br /> Will provided the final version of the Library's 2017 operating budget and the <br /> CIP for 2017—2021. Will noted that the CIP is for major expenditures not <br /> • covered in the operating budget and can be adjusted each year as needs arise. It <br /> was determined that the Library Board would ask Lori Ziemer- Finance Director, <br /> Gary Lore—Building Maintenance Supervisor and Tim Sevcik—Parks <br /> Superintendent to attend the March meeting to talk about the CIP and identify <br /> any long term funding goals in addition to needs already identified. <br /> Will noted the Winter Reading Program has begun and Elk River already has <br /> over 100 participants registered. Participants who read five books are entered to <br /> win incentives like coffee mugs,books,gift cards or book bags. <br /> Will has resigned his position with GRRL and his last day is February 3`d <br /> 5.7 GRRL Trustee Report <br /> Mary noted that the city of Sartell would like a locker system library (books are <br /> ordered online - an email is generated when the books are in and they are placed <br /> in a locker for pickup using a GRRL ID card). GRRL and Sartell are identifying <br /> costs for both entities before a final decision is made. <br /> The Mayor of Elk River asked GRRL to look at standardized hours Monday— <br /> Friday. To ensure this has the full support of city council, GRRL asked the city <br /> to provide a resolution before they analyze costs and benefits of standardized <br /> 111 <br /> hours. Standardized hours hasn't been requested by any other location to date. <br /> POIVEREI NY <br /> NATURE <br />
