DISCUSSION OF POLICY DRAFT REGARDING COMPUTER-USE-ONLY LIBRARY CARDS

 

Assistant Director Getty distributed a second draft of the policy regarding computer-use-only library cards.  Interim Director Isom distributed copies of an email from Trustee Barnes suggesting language that would clarify who would qualify for such a card:  1) persons residing within the District but without proof of a fixed address and 2) persons temporarily visiting within the District with proof of a fixed address outside of the District.  Committee members agreed that the language should be incorporated into the draft.

 

Assistant Director Getty will do a third draft of the proposed policy and send it out for the Committee to review.

 

A registration form for this card was reviewed.  Suggestions were made for changes.

 

A draft of Appendix 14 was reviewed.  Playaways need to be added to the audio book/CD section of the material list.  Format changes were discussed.  Assistant Director Getty will send out a revised Appendix 14 along with the policy draft.

 

Once feedback is provided to Assistant Director Getty, she will discuss with Trustee Barnes whether these documents should be sent to the entire Board and/or included on the agenda for the July 11, 2007 Board meeting.
