I’ve highlighted some of what was discussed at the June board meeting below.
*Unattended Children Policy
Our old Unattended Children Policy was unclear on what age a caregiver needs to be: “Children under the age of nine must be attended by a parent or a responsible child care provider while in the Library.” Megan and her staff in the Youth Services department wanted more clarity as to what age a caregiver must be as well as what actions would be taken when the policy is violated.
The updated policy specifies that “children younger than 9 must be accompanied and directly supervised by a responsible caregiver
12 years of age or older”
*Wages
The board approved wage increases for the fiscal year beginnning 7/1/17.
*Board Officers
Each June, the board elects officers–President, Vice-President, and Secretary–to serve for the coming fiscal year. This year’s officers will be Bob Marvin: President; Megan Tooker: Vice President; Dan Marvin: Secretary
