agreement for minors, implementing a "less -is -more" approach. The new city logo is now <br />prominently displayed at the top right of the half -page sheet. Steve Hellman expressed <br />concerns about a written password on the sheet, to which Connie mentioned that they <br />are shifting software that might eliminate this issue later in the year (Atrium vs. Polaris). <br />Amy Watson moved to approve the new patron sign-up sheet, with Melanie Loughmiller <br />seconding. <br />Updated Computer Policy: <br />The board conducted a thorough review of a Computer Policy crafted by Connie. It was <br />emphasized that this computer policy differs from the acceptable use policy. Although <br />the use of the computer lab by unaccompanied minors is infrequent, the necessity of <br />having documented parental permission on fife was highlighted. Steve Vine raised city- <br />wide concerns, including matters related to cloud -based software and bandwidth <br />limitations. At present, there are no city -specific concerns regarding the library's use of <br />either. The discussion also touched upon content filters and brought up concerns related <br />to cybersecurity, more appropriate for the acceptable use policy when it is discussed. <br />Connie reported the acquisition of twelve new chairs for the computer lab, underlining <br />her commitment to making the library's computer lab the "best of the best," considering <br />it's the only public computer lab in Paris. During the review, the term "parent" was <br />modified to "guardian," and minor formatting issues were addressed. The updated policy <br />was motioned for approval by Amy Watson and seconded by Myers Hurt. <br />Children's Room Project: <br />Connie presented her vision for the children's section of the library, emphasizing the goal <br />of revitalizing the space while preserving the historical significance of the building. A key <br />aspect of this vision is the introduction of mobile shelves, which would be both robust for <br />safety and of a lower height to ensure clear visibility of children throughout the area, <br />enhancing safety further. These movable shelves would provide flexibility for <br />accommodating larger groups when needed. Additionally, the plan involves refreshing <br />the space with new paint, murals, artwork, blinds, updated flooring, and a selective <br />curation of the collection to reduce the strain on staff and enhance patron utilization. <br />Further enhancements include the inclusion of iPads for library catalog access and <br />offline educational computers from AWE. No motion for action on this discussion item <br />was taken. <br />Tour: <br />A tour of the library was offered, but all board members present felt that they were all <br />very familiar with the library and declined. <br />V. Friends of the Library Report: <br />Audrey reported that the Friends board met with Connie earlier today to discuss specific <br />wish list items for the remaining quarter and will discuss specific line items with the <br />
