5.3 <br />Pc111o11 SefV1c2S Visor <br />To: Elk River Library Board <br />CC: Robbie Schake, LSC <br />From: Ryan McCormick, Patron Services Supervisor <br />Date: October 261h, 2021 <br />Library Card Sign -Up Month <br />Due to its back -to -school connection, September has traditionally been the month when libraries focus <br />on promoting card registrations. GRRL patrons can register for cards online, or in -person at any branch. <br />This year, we promoted signup and renewal through posters, social media, and billboards throughout <br />our six -county service area. <br />Patron Services Policy Revisions <br />In July, the Great River Regional Library board approved the 2022 Budget without fines revenue. Since <br />then, staff has been developing policies to support this change. Major policy changes include removing <br />references to fines and late or processing fees, adding language to discontinue refunds and reinforce <br />that patron -purchased replacement copies will not be accepted in lieu of payment, and a general <br />simplification of language for better patron understanding. Policies from other libraries were consulted <br />for reference. <br />Staff is also working on communication strategies, and additional training, to help patrons understand <br />that library items do still need to be returned. Additionally, new ways to increase the number and type <br />of due -date reminders are being developed. <br />2021 Year -End Campaign <br />GRRL's Year -End Campaign is a fundraising effort to benefit the regional library system as a whole. This <br />is the library's biggest and most extensive fundraising effort for the year. This year's campaign will <br />highlight and announce the upcoming Fines Free change happening in January 2022. Donors are invited <br />to support the fines free effort by "paying it forward," if fines have not restricted them in the past from <br />using their local library. <br />\%GRgm MM "MorRARY <br />
