Jesse Lloyd, 10 00:00:23,119 --> 00:00:24,640 present. 11 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,960 >> And then Malcolm Walden and Melody 12 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:28,560 Gochas have asked to be excused for 13 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:29,840 today. 14 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,840 Um, since Melody is not here, we'll go 15 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,680 ahead and turn the time over to Chicks 16 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,600 for any library updates. 17 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,200 >> Okay. So, if you look at the I have kind 18 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:40,879 of the notes of some of the big ticket 19 00:00:40,879 --> 00:00:43,920 items for my comments today. So, the 20 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,200 first cool thing that I want to share 21 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:46,879 some general announcements. So, this 22 00:00:46,879 --> 00:00:48,960 library was originally a Carnegie 23 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,879 founded library 24 00:00:50,879 --> 00:00:53,280 and I got an email from the Carnegie 25 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,199 Foundation that as part of the America 26 00:00:55,199 --> 00:00:56,960 250 celebration that they've reached out 27 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,320 to all of the I think it was over 2,000 28 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,000 Carnegie libraries that were founded by 29 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,000 the Carnegie by Andrew Carnegie back in 30 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000 the day. Um, and then about I think it 31 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,560 was like 1,500ish of those are still 32 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,880 operating. and the Carnegie Foundation 33 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,840 is going to be giving us a $10,000 grant 34 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,880 >> that's a Celebrate America 250. 35 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,720 >> Um, so that'll be really nice. And I 36 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,240 already have a plan of what to do with 37 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,720 that. So on the next line item, if you 38 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,560 guys go over to the junior section of 39 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,479 the library, you'll notice we now have a 40 00:01:28,479 --> 00:01:31,920 fourperson study pod. Um, I went and got 41 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,159 that myself with the with the city's 42 00:01:34,159 --> 00:01:35,759 maintenance guys. We got in a truck and 43 00:01:35,759 --> 00:01:37,280 we drove up to the North Logan City 44 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,040 Library that they were getting rid of 45 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,840 theirs. And so I spent a whole day 46 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,520 taking that thing apart and bringing it 47 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,840 back. Um I didn't put it back together. 48 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,920 The other guys did, but um they put it 49 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,000 back together. Um and so we got that for 50 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,920 nice and cheap. And so then the plan is 51 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,840 I want to get two of the individual 52 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,240 study pods because often we have people 53 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,240 that use our reading rooms, but those 54 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,040 can hold up to 12 people or six people 55 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,880 and but like 80% of the time it's just a 56 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,520 single person. So this way what I'm look 57 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,119 what I'm want to do is get two of the 58 00:02:07,119 --> 00:02:08,479 single ones are kind of like a phone 59 00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:11,360 booth style. Um so I hope to use that 60 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,800 $10,000 for that sometime this spring. 61 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,680 >> So could people use it as a phone booth? 62 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,760 >> I wish I had 63 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,040 >> Yeah, exactly. No, that's the point, 64 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,560 right? If if people are on the like need 65 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:23,760 to make a phone call or things like 66 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:24,959 that, you don't want to step outside, 67 00:02:24,959 --> 00:02:26,560 right? You can go in there. It's not 68 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,720 perfectly soundproof, but it's pretty 69 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,680 good. So um so that that was a lot of 70 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,280 that was a that was a long day. 71 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,280 interesting day, but it was good cuz 72 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:36,640 well the other problem was there was an 73 00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:40,000 accident on I80. So it took us till 74 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,760 9:00. We left at 6:00 and took us till 9 75 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,360 to get out of the valley. 76 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:44,640 >> It was crazy. 77 00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:47,120 >> Um so the other big news is online 78 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,959 payments are now available. So people 79 00:02:48,959 --> 00:02:51,440 can pay for their non-resident fee. They 80 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,239 can um pay for their car, pay for a lost 81 00:02:54,239 --> 00:02:57,200 card fee or if they lost a book and they 82 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:58,560 don't want to buy a new one, they just 83 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,000 want to pay for it, they can now do all 84 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,720 those things online now. So, that was 85 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,400 one of my big projects this year. It 86 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,480 took way longer than I thought it would, 87 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:07,840 but it's finally done. 88 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,680 >> Just curious, what what program are they 89 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:10,159 using for 90 00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:12,640 >> So, we're using Smart Pay. Um, Smart Pay 91 00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:14,800 with Comprise. Um, it's the same vendor 92 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,720 that we use that provides our kiosk 93 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,640 payment terminals. And what I'm going to 94 00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:21,360 do now that online is available to to 95 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,680 keep this as cost neutral to the library 96 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,920 is I'll be getting rid of two of our 97 00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:27,599 credit card terminals on the kiosk. So, 98 00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:29,280 we'll keep one, but then we'll still 99 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,200 have the we'll just have the one on now. 100 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:32,480 People can pay online, they can pay at 101 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,400 the kiosk, or they can pay at the 102 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,000 information desk. So, we still have all 103 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,920 those options for people to make 104 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:38,720 payments. 105 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,480 >> Does that mean someone can get an online 106 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,959 resident library card online or do they 107 00:03:42,959 --> 00:03:43,280 have 108 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,519 >> That is still coming. Um I I there's 109 00:03:45,519 --> 00:03:47,120 some changes that I need to make to the 110 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,360 system to allow that. We currently have 111 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,440 that function turned off because we have 112 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,040 to jump through a couple more hurdles on 113 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,040 that, but I wanted to get this done 114 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,439 first. And then my goal is is by summer 115 00:03:57,439 --> 00:03:59,200 reading that that will be available that 116 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,400 you can be in Iranberry 117 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,480 or Bransville or Vernon even like 118 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,519 anywhere in Tilla really Tilla County 119 00:04:07,519 --> 00:04:09,120 and you can go online and get a library 120 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,280 card all completely online without 121 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:12,640 actually having to come physically into 122 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,360 the building. So that's my goal for this 123 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:16,959 year. That's my big project to get done 124 00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:17,440 this year. 125 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:18,239 >> That's awesome. So 126 00:04:18,239 --> 00:04:19,600 >> and then what happens with the physical 127 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,600 library card? So that's what that those 128 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:22,720 are some of the hurdles I still need to 129 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:23,919 figure out of like if they would just 130 00:04:23,919 --> 00:04:26,080 get a digital card and then we could 131 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,280 mail them a physical card or so working 132 00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:31,919 on those logistics is the project. 133 00:04:31,919 --> 00:04:33,919 >> Yeah. My brother's library in Virginia. 134 00:04:33,919 --> 00:04:35,840 I got a card from them just all online 135 00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:37,759 and I just got me the card number and a 136 00:04:37,759 --> 00:04:40,160 pin and put it on my Libby. 137 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,160 >> Yeah. So So that's what So we'll 138 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,520 probably do something like that. That's 139 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,600 what we're we're looking at doing. 140 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,600 >> Um Yeah. And I have that as my next 141 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,199 thing. apply for and renew on library 142 00:04:49,199 --> 00:04:51,600 cards online is my goal is sometime this 143 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,680 year technically before summer reading 144 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:54,479 >> reading. Okay. 145 00:04:54,479 --> 00:04:56,400 >> Um and then I would also add that as 146 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,240 part of America 250 we're doing some 147 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,000 special displays and then we're 148 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,680 partnering with the city for a bunch of 149 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:02,880 activities that will really start 150 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,120 ramping up as we get closer to summer 151 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,360 and especially during summer reading and 152 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,039 um we'll have different programs and 153 00:05:09,039 --> 00:05:11,039 events to celebrate America 250. ordered 154 00:05:11,039 --> 00:05:13,759 a bunch of um books celebrating America 155 00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:15,919 and American history and we we'll have 156 00:05:15,919 --> 00:05:17,840 some special displays and I'm hoping to 157 00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:19,680 get some more decoration as well in the 158 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,000 library for that. So stay tuned. That's 159 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,199 all coming in the next couple of weeks. 160 00:05:25,199 --> 00:05:27,039 Um 161 00:05:27,039 --> 00:05:28,880 staff news. So we are fully staffed. 162 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,560 However, in between the time that we had 163 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,400 our last meeting and this meeting, I did 164 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,560 have a staff member that that left and 165 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,039 we did hire a new person. We poached her 166 00:05:37,039 --> 00:05:39,759 from the parks and recck department. Um, 167 00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:42,160 so yeah, you heard you heard about 168 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,840 >> nothing else. 169 00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:46,000 >> So, so we we happily poached her away 170 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,479 from the parks and recck department and 171 00:05:48,479 --> 00:05:50,240 um due to some cost savings, we were 172 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:51,600 actually able to make her a regular 173 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,440 part-time employee instead of a a 174 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,440 cyclical employee. So, that was that was 175 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,120 nice. So, we have a little bit more 176 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:58,720 staff hours and so we're going to be 177 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,560 able to expand our programs a little 178 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,800 bit. Not a ton, but optimize more of 179 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,479 that and then also just have a little 180 00:06:04,479 --> 00:06:07,440 bit more staff hours. Um, as far as the 181 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,280 building and grant project updates, so 182 00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:10,800 our north side has been fully zeros 183 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,960 escaped. You can and you can see all 184 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,960 that and all that beautiful rock. Um, 185 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,319 and then we've got the picnic tables 186 00:06:16,319 --> 00:06:20,000 installed. Um, and we our HVAC system is 187 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,680 currently undergoing a big upgrade that 188 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,199 increases the effectiveness and 189 00:06:23,199 --> 00:06:24,960 efficiency. Essentially, they're going 190 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,639 through and replacing all the valves 191 00:06:26,639 --> 00:06:28,400 that control the air flow in the 192 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,319 ceiling. Um, because apparently a lot of 193 00:06:30,319 --> 00:06:32,560 them have been broken. So that's been 194 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:33,680 it's kind of revealing to be like, 195 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,039 "Yeah, that's why this room's always 196 00:06:35,039 --> 00:06:37,039 cold or hot or whatever it is." So 197 00:06:37,039 --> 00:06:39,440 they're working on that. Um hopefully in 198 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,440 the next couple of month, uh next couple 199 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,120 of weeks that will be completed. They 200 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,520 just ran into some issues where um they 201 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:46,479 get up there and it's like, "Oh, 202 00:06:46,479 --> 00:06:47,840 actually this whole thing is broken." So 203 00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:49,199 we instead of replacing just this one 204 00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:50,319 piece, we have to replace this whole 205 00:06:50,319 --> 00:06:52,960 section. And and since I'm not managing 206 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,639 that project, that's through the parks 207 00:06:54,639 --> 00:06:56,720 and recck department. Just 208 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,639 communication's a little bit slower. And 209 00:06:58,639 --> 00:07:00,000 then we're also going to be getting new 210 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,080 digital thermostats so that every it'll 211 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,560 be a smart system. Um, we're not getting 212 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,560 a new chiller like I thought we would be 213 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,319 getting this year. Just turned out to be 214 00:07:08,319 --> 00:07:10,319 too expensive. So, we are getting that 215 00:07:10,319 --> 00:07:12,720 next year. So, that'll be really nice 216 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,520 when that's all done. Um, and then the 217 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,520 stamped concrete east project has also 218 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,199 been finished. You can see out there we 219 00:07:19,199 --> 00:07:21,039 got the beautiful stamped concrete and 220 00:07:21,039 --> 00:07:23,360 the rock around the trees. So now the 221 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,080 last big project for as far as the zero 222 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,800 escaping and and building maintenance is 223 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,800 the big grass area in the front and on 224 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,520 the east side of the library. Um so I 225 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:34,800 have some I had a meet I had a 226 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:39,039 preliminary meeting with our new mayor, Manzion. Um I don't can't share 227 00:07:39,039 --> 00:07:41,199 details at this meeting yet, but I hope 228 00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:43,039 next meeting to be able to share some 229 00:07:43,039 --> 00:07:46,160 awesome plans. It seems I was given she 230 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,479 gave me very tentative approval. Um, but 231 00:07:48,479 --> 00:07:49,440 then we still have to go through the 232 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,360 whole budget process and and capital 233 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,840 projects and everyone else also also 234 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,680 asking for money. So, we'll see where 235 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,599 that goes. But let's just say I'm I I'm 236 00:07:57,599 --> 00:07:59,280 extremely excited for it. I think it'll 237 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,680 be I'm not just going to zero it. We're 238 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,960 going to put it to some use. So, TBD on 239 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,440 that. Um, some event highlights that 240 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:08,960 we've got going on. So, we're back in 241 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,639 the swing of things with normal programs 242 00:08:10,639 --> 00:08:12,879 after our our Christmas break and then 243 00:08:12,879 --> 00:08:14,240 we're starting to gear up for summer 244 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,720 reading. Um hopefully friends of the 245 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,639 library will be contributing to 246 00:08:18,639 --> 00:08:20,479 >> planning on it.

So stay tuned for summer 254 00:08:34,479 --> 00:08:37,200 reading. Um we also have apparently a 255 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,440 lot of blood needs is needed. So blood 256 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,680 drives we got on the 30th, the 17th and 257 00:08:41,680 --> 00:08:44,640 then of February and of March.

So, this this policy 342 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,240 we've I've actually already updated it. 343 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:38,480 Um I had to kind of do a quick um uh a 344 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,880 quick update with this policy and the 345 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,480 mayor already has signed it and approved 346 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,519 it. um these changes uh just due to the 347 00:11:45,519 --> 00:11:47,360 fact of the timing that I needed to get 348 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,600 it done sooner rather than later than 349 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,079 waiting for this meeting um because on 350 00:11:52,079 --> 00:11:53,600 the advice of the attorney I had to make 351 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,279 these changes before I could send people 352 00:11:55,279 --> 00:11:57,920 to collections. So what we what I've now 353 00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,920 what we've now started doing um if you 354 00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:02,959 look under section nine of the 355 00:12:02,959 --> 00:12:06,560 circulation policy so it's on page three 356 00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:08,079 um made some updates to this section. 357 00:12:08,079 --> 00:12:09,760 I'll read through those and we'll we'll 358 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,560 talk about them. So 9.2 Two, we 359 00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:14,079 clarified that when any item other than 360 00:12:14,079 --> 00:12:15,839 a device or technology item is overdue 361 00:12:15,839 --> 00:12:17,200 by more than 14 calendar days, the 362 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:18,399 patron will be build for the item and 363 00:12:18,399 --> 00:12:20,240 circulation privileges will be blocked. 364 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:21,680 Devices and technology items will be 365 00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:22,800 build to the patron on the first 366 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,399 calendar day overdue and circulation 367 00:12:24,399 --> 00:12:25,680 privileges will be blocked. Obviously, 368 00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:29,279 since those are higher ticket items, we 369 00:12:29,279 --> 00:12:32,399 don't give you that 14-day grace period. 370 00:12:32,399 --> 00:12:34,880 Um, so 9.3 is where the big changes were 371 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,600 made. So, the new um paragraph says, 372 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,600 "Patrons who fail to return or pay for a 373 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,519 library materials for more than 30 days 374 00:12:41,519 --> 00:12:43,040 shall be referred to the city attorney 375 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,279 for further action, which may include 376 00:12:45,279 --> 00:12:47,279 prosecution for library theft. After 377 00:12:47,279 --> 00:12:48,560 referral, an additional attorney 378 00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:49,839 processing fee will be added to the 379 00:12:49,839 --> 00:12:51,680 library account according to the current 380 00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:53,120 fines and fees schedule.

And part of 585 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,320 it is that I should generally try to 586 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,400 review these with the board um once a 587 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,880 year. I think January is when we adopted 588 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,799 it. So, it's been a year. So, I'd like 589 00:19:54,799 --> 00:19:56,240 to read through them with you and then 590 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:57,520 kind of give you updates on where we're 591 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,200 at with them, what things have changed 592 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,840 or not changed or um things like that. 593 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:06,480 And then we will look at adopting a new strategic plan and a new technology 594 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:10,960 plan in 2028. So, we we're not we can 595 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,200 start talking about maybe things to add 596 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,679 or change or or look at for the future, 597 00:20:15,679 --> 00:20:17,760 but um we're not we wouldn't be making 598 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,880 any changes to these until 2028. 599 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,720 So I'll let you you can read through the 600 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:23,919 mission statement, the vision 601 00:20:23,919 --> 00:20:26,240 statements. Um but let's jump right into 602 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:30,710 the objectives. 603 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,240 Uh so the strategic plan for fiscal year 604 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,120 25 through 2028. So our vision statement 605 00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:39,760 one is the to and this is on page two 606 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,440 says the Twilla City Public Library 607 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:42,559 provides the community with fair and 608 00:20:42,559 --> 00:20:44,000 equal access to vital information 609 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,440 resources. And so we have three 610 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,960 objectives to help meet that vision. So 611 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,360 objective 1.1 is attend regular outreach 612 00:20:51,360 --> 00:20:52,799 events to grow the number of active 613 00:20:52,799 --> 00:20:55,840 registered card holders to over 15,000. 614 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,080 So I will say that this this first 615 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,799 objective is a little optimistic. Uh 616 00:21:00,799 --> 00:21:03,039 when I made it and or when I first 617 00:21:03,039 --> 00:21:04,559 proposed this all the way back at the 618 00:21:04,559 --> 00:21:06,559 end of 2024 619 00:21:06,559 --> 00:21:08,799 um beginning of 2025 620 00:21:08,799 --> 00:21:11,600 um we had about 12,000 card holders. 621 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,640 However, when we made the switch to Koha 622 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,799 um this time last year, we also did a 623 00:21:16,799 --> 00:21:19,600 very deep cleanup of our card holders 624 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,280 and I found out that our real number is 625 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,840 actually about 10,000. We had a lot of 626 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,799 people I think co co threw a huge wrench 627 00:21:26,799 --> 00:21:28,240 in things. Like if you look at our card 628 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,200 holder numbers precoid, postco were 629 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,440 still not quite hitting it, but I am 630 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,280 confident that the card holder numbers 631 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,440 that we have now are bulletproof 632 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:37,919 accurate. 633 00:21:37,919 --> 00:21:39,760 >> Accurate. Um because I was finding out 634 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,520 that under the old system, we had quite 635 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,240 a lot of people that it said they were 636 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,520 active when they were 100% not active. 637 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,200 So that was one of the reasons we 638 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:50,480 switched to the new system because it 639 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,080 actually keeps better track of that kind 640 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:53,600 of thing. So we currently only have 641 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,919 about 10,000 and it is pretty ambitious 642 00:21:55,919 --> 00:21:59,280 to grow by 50% in 2 and 1/2 years. But 643 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:00,880 that is one of my big goals is I would 644 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,360 like to eventually get to 15,000 active 645 00:22:03,360 --> 00:22:05,360 card holders. And this counts. This 646 00:22:05,360 --> 00:22:06,880 counts everybody. Residents, 647 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,039 non-residents, and juveniles. So even if 648 00:22:09,039 --> 00:22:10,640 you get your kids a card, that does 649 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,520 count towards this number. 650 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,200 >> Tilla County is the fastest growing 651 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,200 county in the state. So that's very 652 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:17,600 doable. 653 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,760 >> A big push for get your kids card. 654 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,600 >> Well, the summer reading, I would guess, 655 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:22,240 brings 656 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,400 >> It does. And then and then once we move 657 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,480 to the online cards, I'm hoping that'll 658 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,120 be a huge barrier that will be gone and 659 00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:29,679 then we can 660 00:22:29,679 --> 00:22:31,039 >> Is this the only tool in the county that 661 00:22:31,039 --> 00:22:33,360 can get a card? So, anybody in Utah can 662 00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:35,120 get a card. We actually changed that 663 00:22:35,120 --> 00:22:37,280 this last year that anybody in Utah can 664 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,200 get a card, but you only get it for free 665 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,559 if you're in Twilla City. So, 666 00:22:42,559 --> 00:22:44,640 um, and then build and upgrade the 667 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,159 library physical and digital collection 668 00:22:46,159 --> 00:22:47,919 to achieve annual circulation of over 669 00:22:47,919 --> 00:22:50,320 350,000 total items by the end of fiscal 670 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,159 year 2028. 671 00:22:52,159 --> 00:22:54,480 Um, so we are well on track for this 672 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:58,159 one. We had 275,000 checkouts the last 673 00:22:58,159 --> 00:23:00,480 year. So, we're up up. I think that was 674 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:01,360 up. 675 00:23:01,360 --> 00:23:03,760 >> Was it 10%? I don't have it in front of 676 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,520 me, but it was about 10% up. And 677 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,559 especially Libby is just growing like 678 00:23:08,559 --> 00:23:10,960 crazy. So, and I've made a concerted 679 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,480 effort to dedicate a lot more of my 680 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,280 budget to Libby without neglecting our 681 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,320 physical collection. Um, including 682 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:19,520 taking some of the savings from 683 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,320 switching our catalog system and being 684 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,720 able to buy more books and buy more 685 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,280 audio books and ebooks. So, and I know 686 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,360 that there's things might be also 687 00:23:29,360 --> 00:23:31,360 improving on that front because Libbyy's 688 00:23:31,360 --> 00:23:33,440 made some changes. It used to be that 689 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:34,880 you could choose like suspend your hold 690 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,559 or deliver later, but now they've just 691 00:23:36,559 --> 00:23:38,480 made it suspend holds and it'll 692 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,080 automatically remove the holds after a 693 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,000 year if you suspend your hold for a year 694 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,080 cuz I think that was also causing a lot 695 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,080 of issues of people using the holds as a 696 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,960 TBR list rather than like genuinely 697 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,559 putting it on hold. 698 00:23:50,559 --> 00:23:52,880 >> So, you could keep doing your reading 699 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:53,520 list. 700 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,240 >> Yes. So you could keep doing deliver 701 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,640 >> and so keep in line. 702 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:00,080 >> Now they just switch to suspend 703 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,039 immediately. 704 00:24:01,039 --> 00:24:02,880 >> Yeah. So we're I'm hopeful that change 705 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,919 will help speed up wait times for people 706 00:24:05,919 --> 00:24:07,120 so they're not having to wait as long 707 00:24:07,120 --> 00:24:10,400 and increase our checkouts. So um and 708 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,640 then the library will have over 175,000 709 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,919 annual visits by the end of 2028. Um so 710 00:24:15,919 --> 00:24:19,039 we had 150,000. So we're also well on 711 00:24:19,039 --> 00:24:22,320 track for this one. And I got some 712 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,279 interesting data from John Perez. He was 713 00:24:25,279 --> 00:24:27,600 able to look up using the the cell phone 714 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,400 tracker thing because that that he's 715 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,400 used with working to figure out how many 716 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:33,840 people attend like the Founders Point, 717 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,080 Hobby Lobby, things like that. 718 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,480 >> And he was able to verify some data for 719 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,039 us of how many cell phone users come and 720 00:24:41,039 --> 00:24:42,400 then compared us to the pool. And we 721 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,000 actually have a slightly more people 722 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,080 come to the library than go to the than 723 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:46,799 go to the city. 724 00:24:46,799 --> 00:24:48,159 >> I would rather come to the library than 725 00:24:48,159 --> 00:24:50,960 that pool. No. So, 726 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,400 >> so, um, so we're well on track there. 727 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,000 So, um, any questions, comments? 728 00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,679 >> Think they're fine for now?

So, I'd like thank you 873 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,080 all for for that part of it of okay, 874 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,000 here's a random new policy about privacy 875 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,240 and faxing and so thank you for for 876 00:29:58,240 --> 00:29:59,840 helping me stay on top of that. if you 877 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:01,520 notice anything and like Julie's 878 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:02,799 obviously you've made several 879 00:30:02,799 --> 00:30:04,720 suggestions and stuff and those have 880 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,799 been very helpful. 881 00:30:06,799 --> 00:30:09,120 Um all and then upgrade improve the 882 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:10,640 library by enhancing the beauty and over 883 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,559 overall long-term sustainability of the 884 00:30:12,559 --> 00:30:14,240 library. So that's one of my one of my 885 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:19,760 big focuses. Um for example, I want to clean up our monuments that we have 886 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,600 like the pioneer monument here and the 887 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,520 mudwall monument. That's something that 888 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,320 I'm looking at doing. Um the library is 889 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,840 25 years old, right? 26 this year. 890 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,679 >> Um I want to set it up to ensure that 891 00:30:31,679 --> 00:30:34,159 it's still here for another 30, 40, 50 892 00:30:34,159 --> 00:30:37,520 years and that um we're being 893 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,760 sustainable, right? That we're saving on 894 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,080 water and and I'm doing my my part to 895 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,440 ensure that the library is beautiful and 896 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,440 sustainable. 897 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,440 Any questions or concerns on that? And 898 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:50,640 then it just goes through all of our 899 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,480 statistics 900 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:57,510 um that we had from the year before. 901 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,720 Okay, next is our technology plan. And 902 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,320 I'm happy to report that we're I went 903 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,120 over this with my IT guy and we are 904 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,080 ahead of schedule on this. Nice. 905 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:12,480 >> So, if we jump over to our um 906 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,480 our goals and timelines, so the end of 907 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,440 page two. So, our fiscal year 2025 908 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,399 goals. So, our UPS battery backups, 909 00:31:20,399 --> 00:31:22,640 those have been all replaced. We got a 910 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,200 new reservation station and we did 911 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,360 utilize the UEEN ARPA grant to extend 912 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,200 Wi-Fi coverage and improve quality of 913 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,880 signal. Um that has also been completed. 914 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,600 Unfortunately, it looks like it's now 915 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,919 going away. So, we'll see cuz UEN is has 916 00:31:39,919 --> 00:31:41,919 gets a lot of federal funding and 917 00:31:41,919 --> 00:31:43,679 obviously this last year was a little 918 00:31:43,679 --> 00:31:46,799 tricky for that. I also think 40 $40 919 00:31:46,799 --> 00:31:48,640 trillion of debt, right? I think math 920 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,159 eventually will say that that money is 921 00:31:50,159 --> 00:31:52,559 going to go away. Um, so that it does 922 00:31:52,559 --> 00:31:53,760 look like because what we were using 923 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,240 this for is it was providing Wi-Fi at 924 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,159 the Veterans Memorial Park, the Del Papa 925 00:31:58,159 --> 00:32:00,799 Park, and then the pool park. Um, but it 926 00:32:00,799 --> 00:32:02,960 does look like that that funding is 927 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,919 winding down. It's not gone, but it's 928 00:32:05,919 --> 00:32:08,080 probably going to be gone. So, if you're 929 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:09,760 no longer able to use the Wi-Fi at those 930 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,880 parks, that is why. Um, but we we did 931 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,200 upgrade it, but then as of about four or 932 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,360 five months ago, we got the email from 933 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,320 UEEN that, hey, this is probably winding 934 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,799 down. So, still technically there, but 935 00:32:22,799 --> 00:32:25,200 probably it's going away. And then we 936 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,360 got new credit card terminals in the 937 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,679 library. So, all those fiscal year 2025 938 00:32:29,679 --> 00:32:32,159 goals were completed. Um, and then our 939 00:32:32,159 --> 00:32:34,080 fiscal year 2026 goals. So, the 940 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:35,519 microphone reader, we got a new 941 00:32:35,519 --> 00:32:38,399 microphone reader. Um, taking out that 942 00:32:38,399 --> 00:32:40,799 old thing to the dump was that was me 943 00:32:40,799 --> 00:32:43,440 and me and Steve had to dedicate some 944 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,279 time in a nice cart to wheel it out to 945 00:32:45,279 --> 00:32:47,440 the dumpster cuz that thing was massive. 946 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,360 The new one is much more economically 947 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,440 designed. ergonomically designed and 948 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,960 everything. And then our RFID sec RFID 949 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:56,799 security gates will be evaluated for 950 00:32:56,799 --> 00:32:59,279 replacement. Um, so we did evaluate 951 00:32:59,279 --> 00:33:01,120 those and they're working just fine. So 952 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:02,240 we're probably not going to be replacing 953 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,480 those anytime soon. Um, what we are 954 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,480 going to be doing is we're working on 955 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,440 upgrading our server and patching up our 956 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,679 firewall. So that's where the money we 957 00:33:11,679 --> 00:33:13,120 had allocated for that is instead going 958 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,519 to that. And then what we still need to 959 00:33:15,519 --> 00:33:16,960 work on this year is we are going to 960 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,000 upgrade work on upgrading the Wi-Fi here 961 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,200 at the library itself.
