The library board discussed a couple of exciting agenda items at last night’s meeting:
Casual Days
The board approved a revision of the library’s Dress Policy that makes every workday a casual day. We’ve been casual throughout the pandemic so nothing is changing for those who started at JPL after March 2020. The updated Dress Policy can be found here.
Drive-up Book Return
The board also approved purchase of an outdoor, drive-up book return that will be installed along the curb in front of the library. This return will be slightly larger than those at Beaver Creek and (soon to be at) Horizon. It should arrive sometime in September or October.
Shade Structure for West Patio
Lastly , we discussed a quote I recently received for a shade structure for the west patio. We’ve received one grant for the project and are waiting to hear about another. For the remainder of the funding, I’ll present the project to the Library Foundation in November for inclusion in their 2022 budget. If approved, the structure should be in place before summer 2022. You can check out the style of the shade here.
