Elk River Public Library Board Page 4 <br /> January 23,2018 <br /> In the next few months, GRRL will be distributing`binge boxes'of DVD. <br /> These are boxes of donated DVD's put together by genre. For example,one <br /> binge box is the entire collection of the Indiana Jones movies combined with <br /> the Lara Croft Tomb Raider movie. <br /> 5.7 Library Services Coordinator Report <br /> Robbie highlighted the following from her report: <br /> ▪ On the first Tuesday and Thursday of the new library hours, staff <br /> counted 25-30 patrons using library between 10 am and 12 pm. Robbie <br /> will provide more official stats at the March meeting. Patron feedback <br /> has been positive with most patrons appreciating that the library is <br /> opened at the same time every day now. <br /> * Laura from the Library is on the newly formed `social media'team.They <br /> are conducting a pilot project at a few branches. <br /> * The library had good participation in their STEM class presented by the <br /> Sherburne County 4-H;this is why funds from the Locally Growin <br /> fundraiser will be focused on STEM. <br /> ▪ The Julie Kramer author visit didn't have great attendance—probably <br /> because of a winter storm that evening. The people who attended gave <br /> great feedback. Robbie will have other authors visit throughout the year. <br /> * Thanks to a generous donation from an anonymous donor,the library <br /> was able to give about 12 boxes of young adult books to Ivan Sands so <br /> they can start their own library.Robbie said they have made a good <br /> connection with Ivan Sands and she will work to maintain that <br /> connection with them,as well as with Spectrum.High School. <br /> • The library will be starting a Teen Book Club starting in January,basing it <br /> on the model Robbie witnessed in St. Paul.The book club will be run by <br /> the teen members and library staff will only act as overseers.This has <br /> been a very successful model in St.Paul so Robbie hopes it will be <br /> equally successful here. <br /> 5.8 GRRL Trustee Report <br /> Mary was reappointed to the GRRL Board. <br /> * The fundraising committee raised 65,000; their goal was 85,000. <br /> ▪ Mary is on the newly formed Safety and Security Committee formed to <br /> help keep libraries and staff safe; for example,in some of the smaller <br /> communities the recommendation is to make sure police drive by the <br /> library branches. <br /> 6. Adjournment <br /> There being no further business, Chair Eberley adjourned the meeting of the Elk River <br /> Public Library Board at 7:10 pm. The tour of the facility will follow. <br />
