Updates on summer outreach opportunities for the board to participate in ■ Chair Boelter explained to the new librarian that the board's focus used to be more on the building and grounds. The board then took the past couple of years to think about future goals. The board would like to focus on connecting, supporting, and promoting the Elk River library to the community. Chair Keifenheim reiterated this point of connecting the library and the city patrons. The board talked about some of the events such as Elk Riverfest and the farmers market that they could attend with the library. The board asked Ms. Larson to send the Ms. Lundstrom a list of city events that the librarian could attend. They also requested that Ms. Lundstrom then send Ms. Larson what the library is planning so the board members can contact her to let her know if they would like to attend as well. The board members are willing to attend and support the library at as many events as they can. Chair Boelter stated that she would like herself or another board member to be present at the summer reading kickoff event. 1�N'EAE 1 11 MATURE Elk River Public Library Board April 26th, 2022 Page 3 ■ Commissioner Voss asked about the quorum rules and had questions about the board meeting rules.
