Hi Laura & Will -
Thanks for the reminder. Here is brief note regarding matters at GRRL. GRRL will be meeting again on the
19th, so perhaps I will have a bit more information to add on the 26th, is it? Here is my summary as a member
of the Board of Trustees for GRRL:
Recent & Upcoming GRRL activity:
1) Taking action to clarify personnel policies
2) Prepare and implement new minimum wages as of 8-1-16
3) Preparing to purchase new Fund Development software. Goal is to improve communications and thanks to
donors, and to improve grant and event management. We also will be able to improve reporting and analysis of
loyal identification.
4) Draft of Library Assessment Plan has been completed. The plan's purpose is to evaluate needs and
improvements important to services provided at some or any of the 32 locations. This may include areas such
as patron services, open hours, site changes, technology. Any changes may take time and, of course, budget to
implement.
5) 2017 GRRL Budget draft approval proposed. Operating budget is about $9+million, with an increase of
about 1.1%o over last year.
Any pertinent addions or changes, - I will report verbally on the 26th.
