5.3. Microfilm Reader Printer
Technician fixed it, cost was $200. It has been used heavily since being fixed.
5.4. Fire Control Panel
2 days the Library had to close early (4:30pm) due to a malfunction in the Fire
Control Panel. The Library could not be open unless someone from the Fire
Department was on the premises. The cost to fix the Fire Control Panel was
$1774.12. This bill will be paid out of the reserve fund.
5.5. Self Checkout Stand
The current self checkout is being moved. The Friends of the Library purchased a
self checkout stand, workstation and small book cart.
5.6. Fireplace
Butch from the City called a company from Princeton. They came out and said in
their opinion the holes are drilled to far apart in the tube, so it's evaporating. They
suggested smaller holes for a steady flame. A benefit to this is the glass should not
get as hot. Waiting for an estimate, this would be paid out of the 2010 reserve
fund.
New Business -Brandt Canter
6.1. Restructure Update
There has been no implementation of reduction in hours at Elk River yet. Brandt
said they are waiting for the Union, there is no contract at this time. Based on the
staffing calculator used the formulas will be re-evaluated yearly. There will
also be an ongoing evaluation.
6.2. OverDrive
OverDrive is the new platform for GRRL for Audio & E books. Patrons will have
to place holds just like print. OverDrive is compatible with Sony Reader &
Amazon Nook. The Board of Trustees has given GRRL $35,000 for an E Book
