Elk River Public Library Board Page 5 <br /> March 27,2018 <br /> • 5.6 City Council Report <br /> Councilman Ovall reported that there has been no specific action or discussion <br /> on the Library Board at this time. Council is happy to hear the positive public <br /> response to the standardized hours at the library. <br /> 5.7 Patron Services Supervisors Report <br /> In addition to her report, Brandi noted: <br /> • The GRRL library card design contest (sample of entry form provided) <br /> deadline for submissions is the end of April. They have been getting the <br /> word out to schools through outreach programs; Robbie will email Ivan <br /> Sand information on the contest. Because it is time for GRRL to reorder <br /> library cards, and they found a new printer at a lower cost, there will be <br /> no significant new cost to produce new library cards through this contest <br /> but great benefit in that it will bring more awareness to local libraries. <br /> • Robbie will present her annual report to city council on April 16th'her <br /> report will include statistics on the library's busyness. <br /> • On March 13th Karen Pundsack, GRRL Executive Director, met with <br /> Sherburne County Commissioners. Karen does this annually to provide a <br /> means for commissioners to ask questions about library business in their <br /> county. Robbie and the Library Services Coordinator in Big Lake also <br /> attended to share information about the work they are doing at the local <br /> level. <br /> 5.8 Library Services Coordinator Report <br /> In addition to her report, Robbie noted: <br /> • The S.T.E.M. program will be offered two times this summer because it <br /> is so popular. <br /> • They are starting a School Age Story Time for 1 st-5th graders. The kids <br /> will read a chapter, then do a craft, activity or game that relates to that <br /> chapter. <br /> • Community Ed does a college planning course and Robbie wants to offer <br /> one at the library also; she will try to coordinate this class when the <br /> presenter comes out in the fall for the Comm Ed class. <br /> • Author visits have not yet had the crowd Robbie would hope for, but the <br /> people who attend have very positive feedback. Robbie will try to <br /> explore ways to promote this more. Mick mentioned having attended a <br /> Bounce Back program in Buffalo that had the auditorium packed with <br /> people and that the event was a joint effort from Buffalo and two nearby <br /> • <br /> P O w E 0 E 0 11 <br />
