platforms and plans on hanging a banner in the library above the circulation desk <br />to publicize the change would help. Steve said that the people who have stopped <br />coming to the library because they owe fines would not see the banner. Eva <br />agreed and said that there could be different types of reaching out to inform the <br />public of the change. After more discussion, Fran made a motion with Melanie <br />providing the second, that the board is excited for the new policy change and <br />looks forward to sharing the information with the public. All board members <br />present were in favor. <br />b. Strategic Planning: <br />Steve began the discussion, stating that he felt confident the first two year <br />programs were laid out from previous meetings. The next months would focus on <br />Years 3, 4, and 5. <br />Connie discussed the concern with previous statistics and the need to have an <br />overhaul. More than one employee at the library works on stats but not everyone <br />uses the same methodology to tally, Connie wants to have one system with a <br />scorecard to see specific details of growth and not simply year to year <br />comparisons. The current method is outdated for most of the staff. If the board <br />wants something specific listed as the new method for measuring statistics is <br />being created, Connie asked to have requests made. <br />Steve asked what the most valuable statistics are to the library and how that data <br />can be shown to measure its health. Connie responded, stating foot traffic, <br />programs, and circulation are the most important data for the library to measure. <br />Steve asked if Year 1 and 2 goals can be measured in a way that it shows if the <br />library is on track with meeting those. Connie stated that Outreach can be <br />measured in a variety of ways, including having outreach hours with a goal per <br />year and tracking the public events in which the library shows up to and has a <br />presence. <br />Fran suggested reaching out to City Square and Eva responded stating that the <br />library does have a presence there, Abigail noted that the presence for outreach <br />doesn't have to be books; it can be crafts and'other methods to connect to the <br />public. <br />V. Friends of the Library report: <br />Jeannie asked if there was anything the library needed and Connie responded, stating <br />that the library needs the same items. Jeannie stated that there was not much else going on <br />currently for the friends. <br />Vi. Director's Remarks: <br />
