ROLL CALL AND CALL TO ORDER The meeting was called to order at 7 p.m., in the Library Boardroom, 920 Waukegan Road, Deerfield, IL by Committee Chair Ron Simon Present Board members: Ron Simon, Michael Goldberg, and Maureen Wener Staff: Library Director Amy Falasz-Peterson 2. OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO ADDRESS THE BOARD, and CORRESPONDENCE No request to address the Board. 3. OLD BUSINESS a. Discussion of possible honorees for Giving Tree Mr. Simon opened the discussion regarding the document that Ms. Judy Hoffman, Outreach Coordinator, created. This document included possible names to include in the inaugural leaves. Mr. Simon pointed out that the point of having a tree was for growth and the hope of the committee is that it will continue to grow. Therefore, it might not be totally necessary to have the tree leaves filled up right away. Ms. Maureen Wener stated that she thinks it's important to be consistent and therefore, all the people included on the tree leaves should have a nomination form on file. Mr. Mike Goldberg suggested that staff "interview" nominees and that interview becomes part of the historical information. Mr. Goldberg felt it was important to have some information as to why the people were being honored. Mr. Goldberg also stated that it was perfectly acceptable to have four names in the first round that were noncontroversial and then the process of nomination and honoring individuals will happen organically. Mr. Simon reminded the committee that this was started as a way to honor present and future boards. It wasn't necessarily meant to honor individuals who had contributed in the past. In many instances, those individuals have already been honored with a plaque on the basement wall. Ms. Amy Falasz-Peterson stated that Ms. Hoffman will create a spreadsheet with the names, terms of service, and possible offices for past board members. She will be working on this in August, which is a typically slow month for her. Ms. Wener asked Ms. Falasz-Peterson to encourage staff participation and nomination. Ms. Falasz-Peterson will discuss this at the August staff meeting. Mr. Simon will report at the July meeting. Mr. Simon asked committee members and library staff to begin researching and submitting the appropriate nomination forms. 4. ADJOURNMENT At 7:50 p.m., there being no further business, Mr. Simon adjourned the committee meeting.

All members voted yes. Mr. Simon opened the meeting for discussion of the review of the closed minutes. Mr. Handler distributed an excerpt of the statute. The handout read as, "5 ILCS 120/2.06(d) Each public body shall periodically, but no less than semi-annually, meet to review minutes of all closed meeting. At such meetings a determination shall be made, and report in an open session that (:) (1) The need for confidentiality still exists as to all or part of those minutes or (2) That the minutes or portions thereof no longer require confidential treatment and are available for public inspection." Mr. Handler expressed his concern that the minutes should be made available. Mr. Abosch pointed out that the advice of the library's attorney was to keep them closed. Mr. Handler pointed out that he felt that the library attorney was dictating policy and not giving legal advice. All Board Members reviewed the closed session minutes. Mr. Handler stated that the benefit for releasing the closed session minutes is transparency for the taxpayers. He feels that it is important that the library be transparent to our patrons. Mr. Abosch stated that the board will report in open session that the board would like to keep the closed minutes closed.

He suggested that there be more options for evening programs for working parents. Ms. Anthony discussed how the Library tried a "Pajama Program" for several months. It was the lowest attended Story Time because parents felt they didn't want to leave the house once they were home. Both Ms. Anthony and Ms. Steiner commented on providing programming surveys to patrons who attend programs. Ms. Wener suggested possible blank cards for patrons to fill out after programs. E-newsletters are email communications monthly for Youth, Adult, and Library Wide. Mr. Simon discussed how challenging the population is for the Youth Department. Mr. Simon wants staff to keep the board update with alternatives and explanations. Mr. Abosch asked how we can better market our programs to our community.

This suggestion was added to the draft of the plan. Strategic Initiative C: Comfortable, adaptable interior spaces. The survey found that 11% of respondents really want comfortable spaces. Additionally, the idea of a Maker Space was also something of interest for the community members. Ms. Anthony talked about opening up some of the Youth reference area to add more tables and chairs near the Youth Desk. Patrons are looking for more places to sit and stay. Mr. Handler questioned the specific ages in Teen area. Ms. Anthony responded that we consider Teens 6-12th grade. Ms. Anthony talked about the Preschool Pavilion and potential refreshing schedule. Ms. Steiner discussed the possible improvement in seating options and how we would need electrical cords ran there for plug in capacity. Ms. Wener asked about the large desk on the lower level. Ms. Steiner reminded the group that this was two desks pushed together to create one service point. Mr. Simon stated how important comfortable, adaptable interior spaces are for a library. He expressed his happiness that this was included in the plan. Strategic Initiative D: Technology enhancements and improvements. Surveyed patrons feel very strong about the technology at the Library. Mr. Tom Owen discussed how Maker Spaces are starting to show up in local schools. He stated that we want to add 3D Printers, especially since patrons expect their library to have one.

Mr. Owen explained the difference between the new Digital Media Lab and the potential Maker Space. Goal 2: Ms. Steiner discussed how we are analyzing our current offerings of electronic resources.

ROLL CALL AND CALL TO ORDER The meeting was called to order at 6:11 p.m., in the Library Boardroom, 920 Waukegan Road, Deerfield, IL. Present Committee members: Michael Goldberg-Chair, Howard Handler, and Ron Simon. Absent: Maureen Wener Staff: Library Director Amy Falasz-Peterson 2. DISCUSSION REGARDING LIBRARY POLICIES: Discussion and Recommended Approval of Media Lab Use Policy (ACTION) a. Mr. Michael Goldberg opened the discussion on the Media Lab Use Policy. Ms. Amy Falasz-Peterson reported that the policy is meant to govern the use of the newly created Media Lab, located next to the Quiet Room. The room is equipped with different equipment to convert things like VHS tapes to digital formats. The Policy was crafted from existing policies. Mr. Simon commented that he thought the policy was well thought out. Mr. Goldberg moved that the committee recommend the policy for approval at the September meeting. Mr. Simon seconded. All present voted yes. b. Discussion and Recommended Approval of Roku Lending Policy Ms. Falasz-Peterson reported that staff would like to remove the age limit on the Roku policy. Mr. Simon asked how the content is loaded to the device. Ms. Falasz-Peterson said she will confirm with staff. Mr. Goldberg moved that the committee recommend the policy for approval at the September meeting. Mr. Handler seconded. All present voted yes. c. Discussion and Recommended Approval of Laptop Use Policy Ms. Falasz-Peterson reported that it is the staff's recommendation that we remove the age limit on the policy for in-library laptop use. The laptops are meant for in library use and the Computer Help Desk on the lower level distributes them. We ask for a patron ID to "check them out". Mr. Simon stated that theoretically, all students in the Deerfield school districts receive chrome books so who is the clientele using the laptops. Would the library be opening itself to risk if we remove the age limit? Mr. Handler pointed out that the laptops are probably not the most expensive models. The Committee asked that staff adjust the wording to reflect the discussion. Mr. Goldberg moved that the committee recommend the policy for approval at the September meeting. Mr. Simon seconded. All present voted yes. Page 1 of 2 �Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees Policy Committee Meeting Minutes September 6, 2016 d. Discussion of Teacher Card Policy Ms. Falasz-Peterson said that the discussion of issuing teacher cards has come up at various times in the past. Given the recent information with the Strategic Plan and the Library's plans to work cooperatively with the schools, it might behoove us to explore the idea of Teacher Cards. The information presented was from the Library's last discussion quite a few years ago. If a teacher teaches in Deerfield and lives in a community with library service, that person is more than welcome to use their home library card at our library to check out materials. Of course, as part of the library card agreement, they are responsible for the material. The Library could explore the possibility of an Intergovernmental Agreement with the school districts to offer a teacher card, giving teachers in the district access to the library's resources. The question that we were unable to answer in 2010 is whose responsibility it would be for any lost or damaged material. Additionally, each electronic resource vendor's use contract has different payment structures based on either the population or library cards. Mr. Simon commented that he felt that the staff would need to test the water to gauge interest. Additionally, it doesn't seem fair to the principals of the school that they would be responsible for the material. He commented that in his personal experience, he builds homework on the resources he has in front of him. He would recommend that we should gauge interest before crafting a policy. Mr. Handler agreed with Mr. Simon's points. Mr. Handler reported that he had read an article recently about a neighboring community and their robust use agreement with the local public library for a teacher use card. He would be open to gauging interest among the school districts. Mr. Simon asked if we would be adding any value or resources to teachers. Mr. Handler asked if we were to offer this teacher card program to private schools, would we be subsidizing people from other communities with our resources. Mr. Goldberg encouraged staff to gauge the interest from the school districts to pursue this. 3. ADJOURNMENT At 6:58 p.m., there being no further business, Mr. Simon moved to adjourn. Mr. Goldberg seconded. All present voted yes.
