Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
No AI-related policy change was approved at this meeting; staff will prepare wording for the board to consider next month. The library is handling substantially higher building use with fewer staff, and Sunday opening hours would require more than $100,000 for staffing, cleaning, and utilities. Library revenue and spending were generally tracking normally, although repairs and maintenance costs were higher because of community room and kitchen expenses.
