          AND JENNIFER DAVIS WILL GIVE US DAVIS WILL GIVE US A PRESENTATION. 
          OKAY. SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THREE PRESENTATIONS TONIGHT. 
          THEY'RE KIND OF BACK TO BACK. I'M GOING TO START OFF WITH A LIBRARY RENOVATION UPDATES. 
          AND THEN DIANE BASHAW IS HERE FROM CIRCULATION. 
          SHE'S GOING TO PRESENT INFORMATION ABOUT HER DEPARTMENT CIRCULATION. 
          AND THEN SOME OF THE NEW TECHNOLOGY WE'RE GETTING WITH THE MOVE. 
          AND THEN CARRIE IS OUR CARRIE SAMPLES IS ALSO HERE. 
          SHE'S OUR COMMUNITY SERVICES SUPERVISOR, AND SHE'S GOING TO TALK ABOUT HER BRIEFLY ABOUT
HER DEPARTMENT AND THEN START TALKING ABOUT THE MOVE. 
          SO GETTING READY TO MARKET WHAT WE'RE DOING. SO WE'RE GOING TO START OFF WITH THE LIBRARY
STATUS. 
          SO WE'RE ON THE SLIDES. SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE ABOUT 85% COMPLETE. 
          AT THE VERY END OF APRIL WE DID A PARTIAL PUNCH LIST WALK,
WHICH IS WHERE YOU GO THROUGH AND YOU MARK WHAT YOU SEE IS SCUFFED OR NOT FINISHED OR DONE WRONG. AND SO WE FOUR OF US MARINA, MYSELF, SHAY BROOKS AND RILEY COVEY WENT AND WE DID
ALL FOUR FLOORS OVER TWO DAYS MARKING UP EVERYTHING. AND SO THERE WERE NOW WORKING ON THAT PUNCH LIST. 
          IT'S ONLY A PARTIAL ONE BECAUSE THERE ARE ON THE NEXT SLIDE YOU'LL SEE THERE'S AREAS THAT
ARE NOT DONE YET. 
          SO WE DIDN'T PUNCH THINGS THAT WEREN'T FINISHED. 
          THERE THEY HAVE THE CANOPY EXTERIOR GLASS IS NOW IN. 
          THERE'S I THINK 1 OR 2 SECTIONS ON THE SIDE THAT ARE STILL HAVE PLYWOOD UP,
BUT YOU CAN NOW SEE THE CLEAR ENTRANCE UNDER THE CANOPY. 
          AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTING IS DONE. SO IN PROGRESS THEY ARE,
LIKE I SAID, THEY'RE WORKING ON THE PUNCH LIST ITEMS. THEY HAVE STARTED TO PUT UP THE INTERIOR SIGNAGE. 
          IT'S GOT LIGHTS BEHIND IT SO THAT WHILE THE SIGNS ARE UP,
THEY'RE NOT LIT AT THE MOMENT. 
          THEY ARE WORKING ON THE INTERIOR FINISHES, SO THEY'VE PUT IN MOST OF THE FLOORING THEY'VE
PAINTED. 
          THEY HAVE WALL COVERINGS UP TILES, ALL THOSE SORT OF THINGS. 
          THAT'S A LOT OF THE PUNCH THINGS. WE CAUGHT SCUFFS. SO THEY'RE STILL FIXING THAT. 
          AND THEN MILLWORK IS BOOKSHELVES, CABINETRY,
DESKS, THE BUILT IN DESKS. 
          AND SO THEY'RE, THEY'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF SOME OF THAT TOO. 
          AND THEN FURNITURE INSTALLATION STARTS NEXT WEEK. 
          THEY'RE GOING TO START WITH THE SHELVING UNITS. 
          SO MAJOR ITEMS STILL REMAINING. THE EXTERIOR STAIR A IF YOU DRIVE BY,
I HAVE DO HAVE PICTURES. 
          IT'S TO NOW BEEN RED STEEL AND WITHIN THE PAST WEEK OR TWO THEY NOW PAINTED IT BLUE. 
          IT'S RICHARDSON BLUE AND THEY'RE STILL PUTTING IN THE GLASS. 
          AND THEY HAVE MEP TO PUT IN THERE TOO IN THE FIRE STANDPIPE. 
          THEY'RE RESURFACING THE OLD STAIRS AS YOU WALKED IN THE ENTRANCE OF THE LIBRARY AND WENT
TO THE LEFT, YOU COULD GO UP THOSE STAIRS. THEY'VE TAKEN OFF THE EPOXY OFF THE STAIRS AND REPAIRED
THEM, AND THEY'RE GOING TO, I THINK, RESURFACE THEM IN THE NEXT WEEK OR TWO. 
          THERE'S THE BASEMENT BECAUSE WE HAVE VERY LARGE PROGRAMS DOWN THERE OR COULD POTENTIALLY
HAVE A LARGE EVENT LIKE THE MURDER MYSTERY HAS TO HAVE THREE WAYS OUT. 
          SO YOU HAVE STAIR A AND B, BUT BECAUSE YOU COULD HAVE LIKE UPWARDS OF 500 PEOPLE DOWN
THERE, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A THIRD EMERGENCY EXIT. SO THERE IS AN EMERGENCY STAIR C THAT THE STEEL
IS IN, BUT THEY HAVEN'T COMPLETED THE WALLS AND EVERYTHING. 
          ON GETTING THAT OUT THE FRICK GLASS, HE TOLD US TODAY THEY'RE GOING TO START PUTTING IT UP
AT THE END OF THIS WEEK OR NEXT WEEK. 
          THERE'S ONE PIECE UP. THE MOCK UP AT FRICK GLASS IS GLASS THAT HAS LINES IN IT. 
          IT'S LIKE CUT WITH ACID, I THINK, TO GIVE THE APPEARANCE OF THE OLD CONCRETE. 
          SO IF YOU GO AROUND ON THE OLD CONCRETE, SOME OF IT HAD LINES. 
          SO IF YOU'RE FAR BACK FROM THE BUILDING, IT'S. 
          SUPPOSE THE ARCHITECT SAID IT WAS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE THE CONCRETE AND BE MORE NATURAL
WITH THAT BUILDING. 
          THE CANOPY THEY'RE PUTTING IN, THE MECHANICAL,
THE ELECTRICAL AND THE PLUMBING. 
          [00:05:05]
ALTHOUGH I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY PLUMBING IN THE CANOPY,
BUT IT'S LIKE THE AIR HANDLING AND ALL OF THAT, THE ELECTRICAL GOING IN. SO THAT'S ONE OF THE MOST ACTIVE CONSTRUCTION PIECES STILL
WATERPROOFING. 
          WE DID GET THAT APPROVED, I THINK MARINA PRESENTED ON THAT LAST TIME. 
          THEY ARE STARTING TO INFILL THE, THE WEST SIDE ONE PORTION IS THEY HAVE TO DO IT EVERY
EIGHT INCHES, PACK IT DOWN. AND SO IT'S TO THE LAST EIGHT FEET I THINK IN ONE PIECE. 
          THERE'S ANOTHER PIECE THAT'S STILL DOWN THE NORTH SIDE STILL NEEDS TO BE DONE IN THE SOUTH
IS ALMOST DONE. 
          SO. AND THEN THERE'S PIECES THAT THEY HAVE TO DO FROM THE INSIDE,
WHERE THEY HAD WALLS UP IN THE BASEMENT, THEY'VE TAKEN DOWN THE WALLS AND THEY'RE DRILLING THROUGH TO PUT BENTONITE IN. 
          SO THAT'S STILL TO BE DONE. PUBLIC ART INSTALLATION. 
          THERE. I THINK THE ARTIST HAS SHIPPED THE INTERIOR ART. 
          SO IT'S ON THE WAY. IT'LL BE INSTALLED THIS SUMMER. 
          AND THEN WE DID TAKE A TOUR OF BRAD OLDHAM STUDIO. 
          HE HAS THE WILDFLOWERS DONE FOR THE EXTERIOR ART THAT'S OUT ON THE BOULEVARD,
BUT HE WON'T BE PUTTING IT IN UNTIL CLOSER TO THEY DON'T HAVE THE CAMPUS READY YET,
SO SEE, THEY CAN'T, THEY STILL HAVE TO DO ALL THE LANDSCAPING AND PARKING LOT IMPROVEMENTS. SO RIGHT NOW IT'S A CONSTRUCTION ZONE. 
          THERE'S A GIGANTIC TRASH CAN ON THE, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PARKING LOT. 
          AND THEN BECAUSE OF THE WATERPROOFING, THEY HAVEN'T PAVED ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE
BUILDING. 
          SO THEY CAN'T PUT IN THE BOOK DROP YET. AND IN FACT,
THEY'LL PROBABLY WAIT TILL TECH LOGIC COMES TO, TO ACTUALLY CUT THE HOLE IN THE BUILDING FOR THAT. 
          SO HERE ARE SOME PICTURES. IN THE UPPER LEFT IS THE STORY TIME ROOM. 
          SO YOU CAN SEE IT'S AN ARCHED ENTRYWAY AND THERE ARE CIRCLES IN THERE. 
          THOSE ARE ALL LIT. AND THEN IN FRONT OF THAT ARCH WHERE IT'S GREENISH LOOKING,
THERE'S GOING TO BE A BARN DOOR. 
          THAT'S STILL WAITING, WAITING TO BE INSTALLED. 
          TODAY WE WENT IN AND THERE'S MORE PAINT. THIS IS FROM LIKE LAST WEEK I THINK. 
          SO THERE'S PAINT IN THERE. THERE'S A TV MONITOR UP NOW TO THE RIGHT. 
          YOU CAN'T SEE IT. THERE'S A PUPPET STAGE THAT THEY'RE STILL WORKING ON. 
          ARCH IS GOING TO HAVE A BARN DOOR. YEAH. SO AND IT'LL SLIDE OPEN. 
          SO FOR ONE STORY TIME, WE'RE LETTING PEOPLE COME IN THE PICTURE IN THE MIDDLE. 
          THAT IS THE PROGRAM ROOM, THE BIG MULTI-PURPOSE SPACE IN THE BASEMENT. 
          IT'S GLASS WALLS AND GLASS DOORS. THERE IS GOING TO BE A FILM ON THE GLASS. 
          SO YOU WOULDN'T WALK THROUGH IT BECAUSE TODAY WE WERE IN THERE AND IT WAS LIKE,
IS THAT GLASS THERE AT THE MOMENT? SO AND THEN WE HAVE THREE MONITORS IN THERE. YOU CAN SORT OF SEE THE REFLECTION OF THEM IN
THE PICTURE ON THE RIGHT. 
          I'M SHOWING THE SIGNAGE. SO THEY'VE STARTED TO PUT UP. 
          YOU CAN SEE THE FEATURE WALL. EVERY FLOOR HAS ITS OWN COLOR. 
          SO THE GREEN ONES ARE THE BASEMENT. AND YOU CAN SEE THERE'S REALLY HIGHLIGHTED RESTROOM. 
          AND THEN FURTHER IN THEY HAVE THE ACCESSIBLE,
IT'S GOT BRAILLE ON IT. 
          SO YOU CAN SEE THAT I THINK THAT'S THE MEN'S BATHROOM. 
          AND THEN THE MIDDLE PICTURE ON THE BOTTOM THAT IS THE FOUNTAIN WATER FOUNTAIN. 
          AND THEY'RE GOING TO PUT UP A BULLETIN BOARD THERE THAT WE CAN POST LIBRARY POSTERS OR
WHATEVER FOR WHAT'S GOING ON IN THAT SPACE. 
          AND THIS REPEATS ON EVERY FLOOR. EVERY FLOOR IS A DIFFERENT COLOR. 
          THE PICTURE ON THE LEFT AT THE BOTTOM, THE CURVED DESK,
THAT'S THE CIRCULATION DESK. 
          THAT'S WHERE THE WHERE IT'LL SAY WELCOME ABOVE IT. 
          THERE'S GOING TO BE A BOOK DROP RIGHT BEHIND IT. 
          AND THEN THAT'S THE OLD STAFF ELEVATOR, BUT IT'S NOW GOING TO BE A PUBLIC ELEVATOR. 
          AND THEN THAT ORANGE OR ORANGE RED RECTANGLE IN THE MIDDLE WHERE THERE'S,
YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A PLUG THAT'S GOING TO BE A WAYFINDING MONITOR. 
          SO YOU CAN WALK UP AND TOUCH IT AND IT WILL SHOW YOU THE FLOOR PLANS. 
          AND BEYOND THAT, THE SPACE LIT UP WITH THE BLUE CARPET IS THE LARGE PRINT AREA. 
          WOW. SO AND I KIND OF HAVE MY BACK TO THE LOBBY WHEN I TOOK THE PICTURE. 
          THIS IS AWESOME. SO SO IT'S VERY, VERY COLORFUL. 
          AWESOME. OH MY GOSH. SO EXCITING. SO EXCITING. 
          PICTURES OF THE RESTROOMS. OH YEAH. JUST CURIOUS,
WHAT IS THE FONT? WHAT IS THE FONT? OH, I'M SURE THERE IS A FONT,
BUT WE DON'T KNOW. 
          WELL, VARINA IS MORE THAN I AM. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. OKAY. 
          OKAY. WELL, WE WILL ASK. SO RESTROOMS TILE FLOOR. 
          THE THE DOOR WHEN YOU GO TO LOCK, IT SAYS IT'S OCCUPIED. 
          THAT'S KIND OF NEAT. I HAVE MY BACK TO THE BABY CHANGING TABLE AND IT'S GOT THE LITTLE
DOTS ON THE FLOOR. 
          SO IF YOU'RE A SIGHT IMPAIRED, IF YOU HAVE A STICK,
IT WOULD PROBABLY HIT THE LITTLE DOT SO YOU DON'T WALK INTO THE CHANGING TABLE. 
          SO THERE'S LOTS OF ADA THINGS HERE. AND ON THE RIGHT,
THE SINKS. 
          [00:10:01]
SO THE PAINT IS TEAL AND THAT'S WHITE TILE WITH THE GROUT IS TEAL TOO. 
          SO THEY'RE PRETTY. THE WALLS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE WHITE,
BUT THEY ENDED UP, THEY DIDN'T HAVE THEM IN STOCK. 
          SO WE GOT THE GRAY ONES. THE MIDDLE ONE. THIS IS THE SECOND FLOOR. 
          THIS IS THE JUVENILE AREA. SO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AGED KIDS. 
          THAT'S THE OLD FIREPLACE. THIS WAS ONE OF THE DOUBLE HEIGHT SPACES THAT HAS BEEN FILLED
IN. 
          AND SO THE FIREPLACE IS THERE AND IT'S GOING TO STAY. 
          YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THE COPPER AND IT'LL BE THEY'RE GOING TO FINISH CLEAN IT UP. 
          AND THEN IF YOU LOOK OUT THAT WINDOW, THAT IS THE COUNCIL CHAMBER OUT THERE. 
          SO THE FOUNTAINS DOWN AT THE BOTTOM. AND THAT NEW ARTWORK FOR CITY HALL WILL BE IN BETWEEN
US. 
          BUT FOR NOW, WE CAN SEE THE COUNCIL CHAMBER AND THEN THE PICTURE ON THE RIGHT. 
          THOSE ARE THE MONUMENTAL STAIRS GOING UP. THIS IS THE RAILING AROUND. 
          IT DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING. THIS IS JUST RANDOM CHARACTERS AND LETTERS. 
          THEY ACTUALLY SAID IT'S A FAMOUS PATTERN THAT IT'S ON THERE. 
          SO SO THAT'S UP AROUND THE RAILING. SO KIDS DON'T WALK THROUGH IT EITHER. 
          SO. THE UPPER LEFT THIS WE TOOK YESTERDAY, WE DROVE OVER TO THE SITE TO LOOK AT SOMETHING. 
          AND SO THIS IS THE NEW ENTRANCE. THIS IS THE CANOPY AREA. 
          YOU CAN SEE THE GLASSES UP FOR THE ENTRANCE ON THE LEFT OF THE ROUNDED PART. 
          THAT'S THERE'S TWO DOORS GOING IN THERE. AND TO THE RIGHT OF IT,
THERE'S A DOOR GOING IN THERE. 
          SO IF YOU'RE EVER LOOKING AT THE FOUNTAIN, YOU CAN COME IN ON THE EAST,
OR YOU CAN PARK ON THE SOUTH AND COME IN THROUGH THE SOUTH. 
          THE STAIRCASE IS THE DARK BLUE WITH THE WHITE LINES GOING UP THAT'S BEEN ADDED. 
          THOSE SPACES WHERE THERE'S NOTHING IS GOING TO BE GLASS. 
          SO THEY STILL HAVE THAT TO DO. TAKE ME TO THE WHAT'S THIS IS THE,
THIS IS THE CORNER THAT WAS CLOSEST TO CITY HALL. 
          SO I'M KIND OF STANDING WHERE CITY HALL WAS. OKAY. 
          YEAH. THE FOUNTAINS BEHIND YOU, RIGHT? THE FOUNTAINS TO THE RIGHT BEHIND YOU. TO THE RIGHT
OF YOU. OKAY. THE RIGHT. YEAH. GOT IT. SO IF YOU LOOK UP ON THE THIRD FLOOR IN THE PICTURE, YOU CAN SEE BLUE, THE BLUE GLASS. I WISH I HAD A POINTER. 
          THAT'S THE FRITTED GLASS. AND THEY SAID THIS WEEK HE'S GOING TO TRY TO GET A BAY. 
          WHAT THAT. OKAY. SO OH THERE'S A POINTER. THERE'S A POINTER. 
          OKAY. SO RIGHT HERE IS WHERE YOU USED TO LOOK OUT TO THE YEAH. 
          THE LIKE THAT WAS WHERE THAT WAS WHERE THE, THE BAND USED TO PLAY OVER THERE. 
          YEAH. I DON'T THINK IT SHOWS ON MONITORS. BRENA. 
          YEAH. OH. SO WHERE ARE YOU DOING IT? TURN MY. 
          OH, SHOOT. WHAT I JUST DID. OKAY. WHAT WERE YOU HITTING? THE VERY. THE GREEN BUTTON. OH, THAT. SO STRAIGHT DOWN HERE. 
          YEAH. YEAH. SO THERE'S BLUE UP ON THE RIGHT SIDE ON THE THIRD FLOOR. 
          THAT'S THE GLASS. AND HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO TRY. 
          BY THE TIME WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A TOUR ON SATURDAY,
TO HAVE ONE BAY WITH THE GLASS UP AND ON THE LEFT SIDE ON THE THIRD FLOOR THE YELLOW WILL BE REPLACED WITH THE GLASS TWO. SO THIS IS GIVING THE ADULTS SITES OUT OF THE BUILDING
WITH GOOD VIEWS LIKE THE. 
          THE CHILDREN ARE ON THE FIRST AND THE SECOND FLOOR AND THEY HAVE ALL WINDOWS. 
          SO THE ADULTS ARE UP ON THE THIRD FLOOR. THE UPPER RIGHT IS OUR STAFF BREAK ROOM. 
          SO YOU CAN SEE THEY'VE PUT IN THE CABINETS, THEY HAVE THE COUNTERTOP. 
          THE APPLIANCES ARE ACTUALLY IN. THERE'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE ISLAND RIGHT IN FRONT OF
THERE. 
          THE CIRCULATION DESK, IT'S A BETTER VIEW OF THE WHOLE THING. 
          SO COOL. IT'S REALLY BIG. IT THREE PEOPLE CAN SIT THERE AND IT'S GOING TO BE AS THEY
ENTER. 
          THIS IS KIND OF IN THE CENTER BAY. SO IT'S NOT RIGHT NEXT TO THE DOOR. 
          SO BUT IT'LL BE LIT UP. WELCOME. SO PEOPLE WILL KNOW WHERE TO GO. 
          AND THEN THE BOTTOM LEFT THAT IS SHELVING IN CHILDREN'S. 
          AND THERE'S A GLASS WALL. THIS IS THAT GLASS WALL THAT THEY PUT UP BETWEEN CHILDREN'S AND
THE LOBBY. 
          SO KIDS DIDN'T RUN OUT OF THE BUILDING LIKE THEY USED TO. 
          THEY HAVE SHELVING UNDERNEATH THE WINDOWS. SO YOU KNOW,
BECAUSE THEY'RE LITTLE, THEY CAN BE DOWN TO THE GROUND. 
          AND THEN THE NEXT ONE, THIS IS THE PICTURE ON THE LEFT IS THE SECOND FLOOR. 
          SO LIKE I SAID, EVERY FLOOR HAS GOT A COLOR. THE BASEMENT WAS GREEN. 
          THE FIRST FLOOR WAS ORANGES AND YELLOWS. SECOND FLOORS IS REDS AND ORANGES AND PINKS. 
          AND SO THIS IS WHERE THE BATHROOMS ARE ON THE SECOND FLOOR. 
          BATHROOMS ARE ON THE SAME PLACE ON EVERY FLOOR. 
          THIS WALL WITH THESE GEOMETRIC SHAPES IS IN THE SAME EXACT PLACE ON EVERY FLOOR. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, IF YOU GET TO THERE, YOU'RE GOING TO HIT THE BATHROOMS AND THE ELEVATORS ARE
ON BOTH ENDS. THE PICTURE ON THE RIGHT, THESE ARE BUILT IN SHELVES FOR THE FICTION COLLECTION UP ON THE THIRD FLOOR. 
          AND THEN THE STAFF ELEVATE THE OLD STAFF ELEVATOR IS BEHIND THAT BLUE RECTANGLE. 
          AND EVERY FLOOR WILL HAVE THAT WAYFINDING MONITOR ON IT THAT YOU CAN WALK UP AND TOUCH IT
AND IT'LL TELL YOU WHERE TO GO. 
          [00:15:04]
SO. AND THEN DIANA'S UP. OH THAT'S BEAUTIFUL. 
          THAT'S AMAZING. CAN I ASK A QUICK QUESTION. ARE WE GOING TO HAVE ARE Y'ALL GOING TO HAVE
ARE WE GOING TO HAVE A, A, A LIKE AN OPEN HOUSE FOR LIKE, YOU KNOW, FOR A BIG NIGHT OF CELEBRATION OF THE GRAND
OPENING OF THE LIBRARY? YEAH, WE'LL HAVE A GRAND OPEN HOUSE WEEK OR SOMETHING WHERE WE'RE STILL DECIDING BECAUSE
WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHEN WE'LL BE OPENING AND WHERE THE DISCUSSION IS. 
          DO WE HAVE A DAY? DO WE HAVE A WEEK? DO WE HAVE A MONTH? DO WE HAVE THE ENTIRE FALL OKAY TO NOT TRY TO PACK EVERYTHING INTO ONE WEEKEND? RIGHT. SO TO GET EVERYBODY TO COME. YES. GET TO COME SEE ALL THESE. 
          GARLAND AND FRISCO HAVE HAD BIG ONES LATELY. GARLAND HAD 1000 PEOPLE COME THE FIRST DAY,
THE DOWNTOWN ONE. 
          SO THAT'S WHAT I THINK TOO. I THINK THIS BAD BOY OPENS. 
          IT'S GOING TO BE JUST A FLOOD. IT'S GOING TO BE SO EXCITING. 
          SO, SO EXCITING. YEAH. SO WE ARE, LIKE I SAID,
AND I'LL TALK ABOUT IT BECAUSE I HAVE ANOTHER SESSION LATER, BUT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A TOUR THIS WEEKEND BECAUSE THE FURNITURE IS GOING IN. 
          THIS IS THE VERY LAST CHANCE TO SEE THIS BUILDING WIDE OPEN AND KIND OF TO SEE THE FEATURE
WALLS AND EVERYTHING. 
          YOU GUYS WILL BE INVITED. IT'S 830 TO 10 ON SATURDAY MORNING THIS SATURDAY,
THIS SATURDAY, A SHORT THING. IT'S BECAUSE THEY TOLD US LAST WEEK THAT THE FURNITURE WAS COMING IN
MONDAY. 
          AND SO IT WAS LIKE, OH, WE NEED TO DO IT NOW. 
          AND THEN DOING IT EARLY SO LIBRARY STAFF CAN COME. 
          SO IF YOU CAN'T MAKE IT, THEN WE WILL DO OTHER ONES LATER IN THE SUMMER. 
          SO IS THAT A TIME RANGE OR IS THAT THE LENGTH OF THE TOUR? IT'S NO, IT'S MORE OF A LIKE COME BETWEEN 830 AND 9,
AND WE'LL TRY TO HAVE SOMEBODY ON EVERY FLOOR TO EXPLAIN WHERE THINGS ARE. 
          SO THE LIBRARY WE OPEN AT TEN. SO I'D SAID IF YOU'RE WORKING THAT MORNING,
FEEL FREE TO COME OVER. 
          LOOK AND THEN COME BACK BEFORE WE OPEN AND WILDFLOWERS THAT STARTS AT NOON. 
          SO BUT IT STARTS AT NOON. SO THIS IS OVER AT TEN. 
          SO OKAY, SO AND I KNOW IT'S LAST MINUTE, BUT YEAH. 
          AND I WILL SEND AN EMAIL WHERE TO ENTER THE,
THE CAMPUS, WHERE TO PARK AND WHERE WE'LL ENTER NEXT TO THE OLD PUBLIC ENTRANCE. 
          SO, SO I'LL SEND AN EMAIL BECAUSE I JUST SENT THE ONE TO THE STAFF. 
          SO I WAS DUE AFTERWARDS. SO ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE BUILDING BEFORE DIANE STARTS ON
CIRCULATION. 
          OKAY. ALL RIGHT. MY NAME IS DIANE. I'M CIRCULATION SUPERVISOR. 
          I HAVE A STAFF OF 12, FULL TIME, SIX PART TIMERS,
TWO UNFILLED POSITIONS. 
          AT THE MOMENT, WE HANDLE LIBRARY CARDS, PATRONS ACCOUNTS,
CHECKING ITEMS, AND SORTING AND COLLECTING LOST AND DAMAGED FEES AS NEEDED. WE ALSO COVER THE MAILROOM,
ACCEPTING DELIVERIES AND SORTING THE MAIL, INCLUDING INTERLIBRARY LOAN. AND NOW. WE HAVE OUR SORTER. 
          CONVENIENT AND EFFICIENT. RPO HAS HAD ONE IN OPERATION SINCE 2013,
SO IT'S TIME FOR AN UPGRADE, WHICH WE'LL BE GETTING WHEN WE RETURN TO THE NEW BUILDING. 
          THERE WILL BE A DRIVE UP, THERE WILL BE A DRIVE UP RETURN SLOT AS WELL AS ONE INSIDE,
AT LEAST SIMILAR TO THIS SETUP. 
          SO OVER THERE WHERE THE WINDOW IS WOULD BE THE DRIVE UP. 
          AND THEN ON THE OTHER SIDE WITH THE INSIDE, WE WILL STILL HAVE AN OUTSIDE BOOK DRIVE
AVAILABLE AT NIGHT FOR DISORDERS, SHOULD BE RUNNING 24 OVER SEVEN LIKE IT DID FOR BUILDING A NEW ADDITION THOUGH WE WILL
HAVE WILL BE THE VIEWING WINDOW, WHICH SHOULD BE ON THE LEFT OF IT. THAT WAY PATRONS WOULD BE ABLE TO WATCH THEIR BOOKS AND
THE DVDS AS THEY TRAVEL THROUGH THE CONVEYOR BELT, INTO SORTING INTO THE PROPER BIN. WE STILL HAVE TEN BINS FOR SORTING AS WELL AS THE ONE ON
THE END, WHICH WE CALL THE EXCEPTIONS BIN. IT CATCHES ALL THE HOLES AND ANY ITEMS THAT DIDN'T SORT
INTO THIS. 
          TOTAL ITEMS CHECKED IN THROUGH THIS ORDER LAST FISCAL YEAR 2425 WAS ABOUT 652,240. 
          GOOD LORD, THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE DIGITS. 
          AND OUR GATES WILL BE UPGRADED AS WELL. THESE WILL LOOK NICER THAN THE CURRENT ONES AND
THEY SHOULD WORK EVEN BETTER. 
          THEY'LL ACTIVATE WHEN SOMEONE ACTUALLY GETS CLOSE TO IT,
SO NOT CONTINUOUS. 
          THERE WILL BE THREE SETS OF THESE THEY CALL WAVE GATES. 
          THEY'LL BE EQUAL DISTANCE APART IN THE ENTRANCE RIGHT PAST THE FOYER. 
          THESE COMMUNICATE WITH OUR BASE CAMP SOFTWARE THAT'S ALREADY INSTALLED AND UTILIZED ON OUR
COMPUTERS. 
          WE CAN TRACK THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ENTERING AND EXITING,
AND OF COURSE, CATCH ANY STRAY ITEMS THAT MIGHT NOT HAVE CHECKED OUT. 
          AND LAST YEAR, FISCAL YEAR 2425, WE HAD ABOUT 249,796 VISITORS IN THE LIBRARY. 
          [00:20:05]
SO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE GO THROUGH AND YOU HAVEN'T CHECKED OUT A BOOK? WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? LIKE WE HAVE HERE. OKAY. 
          WELL I'VE NEVER I HAVEN'T HEARD THAT. PROPERLY. 
          YEAH. YOU KNOW, COME BACK. AND THEY PROBABLY JUST DIDN'T QUITE FINISH WITH THE RFID FOR
IT. 
          AND THEN WHEN WE MOVE BACK. SOMETHING BRAND NEW TO OUR LIBRARY WILL BE OUR HOLDS LOCKERS. 
          PATRONS WILL HAVE THE OPTION OF PICKING UP HOLDS INSIDE THE LIBRARY AS USUAL,
OR AT THE LOCKERS OUTSIDE, DEPENDING ON THE ITEM THEY REQUESTED. THERE WILL BE SIZE LIMITATIONS. 
          THERE WILL BE 23 SLOTS. THEY'LL ALL BE. A MAJORITY WILL BE CLOSE TO FIVE INCHES IN HEIGHT. 
          A FEW OF THEM WILL BE LIKE 10.5IN. SO IF YOU HAVE A LARGE AMOUNT AND OF COURSE THE DEPTH
AND THE WIDTH WILL BE ALL THE SAME, 16IN IN WIDTH AND 24.6 IN DEPTH, THEY WILL BE INSTALLED RIGHT OUTSIDE THE BUILDING NEAR
THE FRONT ENTRANCE FOR CONVENIENCE. 
          THEY'RE WATERPROOF. THEY HAVE AN AWNING IF YOU CAN SEE IT RIGHT THERE AT THE TOP. 
          THAT WILL HELP PROTECT THEM FROM THE ELEMENTS,
FROM THE RAIN AND SO FORTH. 
          THE WRAP WAS DESIGNED IN-HOUSE JUST TO MATCH OUR DECOR IN THE NEW CHILDREN'S AREA YOU SEE
ON THE RIGHT. 
          WE'LL ALSO HAVE NEW LIBRARY CARD DESIGNS FOR THE REOPENING. 
          SOME WILL BE IN-HOUSE AND SOME WE WILL GET FROM OUR SUMMER CONTEST,
FROM OUR PATRONS. 
          SO YOU'RE WELCOME TO DO YOUR LITTLE DOODLE AND REQUEST PLACE. 
          LAST YEAR WAS ABOUT 92,299. OKAY. CAN I ASK A QUICK QUESTION? SO THIS THESE HOLD SLOTS THERE'S 23. AND IS THAT JUST FOR PEOPLE THAT WANT TO PICK THEIR
BOOKS UP AFTER HOURS? THEY CAN DO IT AFTER HOURS. OKAY. BUT LIKE, YOU KNOW,
WHEN YOU HAVE, THERE'S PROBABLY WHAT, A COUPLE HUNDRED PEOPLE WITH HOLDS ON BOOKS AT ALL TIMES. 
          YEAH. SO THAT'S, THAT'S STILL GOING TO BE THE SAME SYSTEM THAT FIRST COME FIRST SERVE ON
THE LOCKERS. 
          YEAH. IF IT'S AVAILABLE, IT'LL COME UP AS AN OPTION. 
          YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE, I WANT IT. IT'S LIKE WHEN YOU GO TO A MULTI-BRANCH SYSTEM,
YOU SAY, I WHENEVER THIS FIRST BOOK COMES IN, I WANT IT DELIVERED TO THE NORTH GARLAND BRANCH. 
          AND SO, YOU KNOW, TO GO TO NORTH GARLAND, YOU'LL HAVE TO CHOOSE. 
          I WANT IT DELIVERED TO THE LOCKERS. SO IF THERE'S NOT A LOCKER AVAILABLE,
YOU'LL HAVE TO WAIT FOR A SPOT. 
          OKAY. SO BUT IT DOES ALLOW YOU TO COME AT TWO IN THE MORNING AND PICK PICK IF YOU WANT IT. 
          SO ALONG THOSE. SO LET'S SAY I ASKED YOU TO HOLD IT AND THEN LIFE GETS BUSY. 
          I GET STUCK IN TRAFFIC OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          DO YOU PULL IT AND PUT SOMEBODY ELSE IN THE NEXT DAY OR DOES THAT HOLD IT FOR LIKE IT
HOLDS FOR FIVE DAYS? OH, YEAH. WOW. OKAY. JUST LIKE THE ONES INSIDE. 
          YEAH, YEAH, IT'LL COME BACK IN. YEAH. I JUST THINK 23 IS NOT NEAR ENOUGH,
RIGHT? WHO KNOWS? WE'LL SEE. I KNOW IT'S PROBABLY PHILIP. 
          WE HAVE SOME SORT OF RECOMMENDATION TO THOSE CHOOSING IT TO CHOOSE IT IF THEY HAVE A
PURPOSE FOR CHOOSING IT. 
          YEAH, WELL, THEY'RE GOING TO FIND IF THEY'RE WAITING LIKE IT'S SITTING IN TRANSIT THAT
THEY'RE WAITING, IT'S IT'S READY FOR THEM, BUT THERE'S NO SPOT IN THE LOCKER. 
          THEY CAN CALL AND SAY, HEY, CAN I JUST COME PICK IT UP WHILE YOU'RE OPEN? YEAH. SO AND IF THEY HAVE 100 ITEMS, IT'S NOT GOING TO FIT IN A FIVE INCH SLOT. 
          SO THEY MIGHT HAVE TO WAIT FOR MULTIPLE BOWL BLOCKERS TO GET THEIR THINGS. 
          I JUST WONDER IF, SINCE WE HAVE LIMITED SPACE,
IF WE SHOULD ENCOURAGE THOSE WHO CAN COME INSIDE TO DO SO, AND FOR THEY MIGHT JUST WANT TO DO IT, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? SO I THINK 90% OF YOUR
PEOPLE ARE GONNA HAVE TO COME INSIDE. 
          HOW MANY BOOKS DO WE HAVE ON HOLD AT ONE TIME? AT ANY ONE TIME? HOW MANY CUSTOMERS DO WE HAVE? OH MAN. 
          I DON'T KNOW ABOUT CUSTOMERS, BUT DURING COVID IT WAS 1900 ITEMS THAT PEOPLE PUT ON HOLD. 
          THAT'S JENNIFER PULLS THEM FOR US. OH YEAH. BUT AFTER COVID,
LIKE, LIKE RIGHT NOW, 1200, 900, WE HAVE 1200 ITEMS, ITEMS ON HOLD. WE DON'T EVER GO THROUGH THE WHOLE SHELVES OVER THERE
AND JUST SEE WHAT'S ACTUALLY WAITING. 
          RIGHT. I DON'T KNOW THAT EVERYBODY WILL TRY. THAT'S NOT THAT'S NOT LIKE CHRONIC HOLDS. 
          THOSE ARE JUST PHYSICAL BOOK HOLDS. THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT. 
          SO THIS IS LIKE USELESS. I THINK IT'S AN OPTION. 
          IT DOESN'T SOLVE IT. MAYBE FOR JUST PEOPLE PICKING UP AFTER HOURS. 
          YEAH. IT'S. WHAT? IT'S OKAY. YEAH. OKAY. I THINK OF,
YOU KNOW, LIKE SOMEBODY WHO, LIKE, IS UNABLE TO COME DURING THE DAY AND THEY HAVE TO SORT OF WORK THAT WOULD NOT ALLOW THEM. 
          RIGHT. I JUST, I THINK THAT'S HOW YOU HAVE TO SELL THESE THINGS. 
          EXACTLY. YEAH. LIKE THIS IS FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE UNABLE TO GET TO THE LIBRARY DURING
LIBRARY HOURS. 
          YEAH. IF WE PUT IT ON THERE SO THAT BECAUSE OTHERWISE PEOPLE MAY JUST GO,
OF COURSE I'D LIKE TO. 
          YEAH, THAT'D BE COOL. COUNCIL. YOU MIGHT DO IT ONCE. 
          AND IF THEY WAITED AN EXTRA THREE WEEKS TO GET A SPOT,
THEN THEY'LL LEARN. 
          I REALLY WOULD RATHER GET IT IN INSIDE. YEAH,
THAT'S TRUE, BUT, I MEAN, THEY'RE VERY COOL LOOKING. 
          I LOVE THE IDEA. OTHER LIBRARIES PUT THEM AT REC CENTERS OR FIRE STATIONS SO YOU CAN GO
THERE. 
          [00:25:04]
THEY'RE NOT CHEAP. SO THAT'S WHY WE HAVE A SMALL ONE. 
          YEAH. BUT YOU KNOW THIS IS JUST AN OPTION. SO WE'LL STILL DO CURBSIDE. 
          YOU KNOW, FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T PHYSICALLY COME IN WHEN WE'RE OPEN. 
          SO. BUT PEOPLE, PEOPLE BRING IT OUT TO YOUR CAR FOR YOU. 
          OKAY. YEAH, THAT THAT'S NEAT. OKAY. SORRY. SO BESIDES MAKING LIBRARY CARDS AND PROCESSING
BOOKS, WE ALSO HAND OUT RECYCLING BAGS. IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR,
WE HANDED OUT 882 OF THOSE, AND WE REUNITE PATRONS WITH LOST ITEMS WITH THEIR LOST AND FOUND. AND SOME OF OUR STAFF HAVE PROJECTS THEY DO ABOVE AND BEYOND THOSE. 
          THIS IS SENIOR CLERK MARTHA DENTON. SHE'S BEEN TASKED MULTIPLE TIMES TO PROOFREAD AND EDIT
CITY DOCUMENTS. 
          HER EXPERIENCE FROM A PREVIOUS JOB AS A TECHNICAL WRITER,
AND HER ATTENTION TO DETAIL HAS CAUGHT THE NOTICE OF DIRECTORS ACROSS THE CITY. 
          SHE'S EDITED LIKE FIVE CITY DOCUMENTS THIS YEAR,
WHICH IS ABOUT 900 PAGES, AND THOSE ARE SOME OF THE ONES SHE DID. 
          SIR. ALSO, MOST OF TWO OF ITS STAFF TAKEN THE RESPONSIBILITY OF RUNNING BOOK CLUBS AT THE
LIBRARY. 
          PATTY HOLLARS WAS IS THE ONE IN PINK ON THE LEFT PICTURE. 
          SHE FACILITATES THE THIRD WIND SPEED BOOK AND IS A LIAISON LIAISON FOR THE FIRST
WEDNESDAY'S BOOK CLUB, AND OUR NEWEST BOOK CLUB AT THE LIBRARY WAS INITIATED BY CIRC STAFF AND MAILROOM EMPLOYEE. 
          ON THE RIGHT HERE, GAIL FOX. HE PROPOSED HIS IDEA OF PAGES OF PERSPECTIVE TO SUPERVISORS,
DIRECTORS AND SEVERAL COMMITTEES WITH GREAT ENTHUSIASM. 
          IT HAS PROVEN SUCCESSFUL IN THE MONTHS IT'S BEEN MEETING,
WHICH IS SINCE JUNE 2025, BRINGING IN ADULTS WITH A VARIETY OF INTEREST. 
          AND ANOTHER NEW PROJECT AT CIRC IS OUR CROSS TRAINING ENDEAVORS WITH ADULT SERVICE
LIBRARIANS. 
          WITH THE MOVE BACK, THE BUILDING SETUP WILL DIFFER IN THAT WE WILL SHARE THE WELCOME DESK
WITH OUR ADULT SERVICE COWORKERS, SO WE'RE TRAINING THEM TO MAKE LIBRARY CARDS AND CHECK PATRON ACCOUNTS,
AND THEY'RE TRAINING US ON THE FINER POINTS OF SEARCHING FOR BOOKS, TROUBLESHOOTING PRINTERS, AND COPIERS. CROSS TRAINING IS EXPANDING TO OTHER STAFF,
TOO, AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE MOVE DATE. 
          WE'VE BEGUN TRAINING PAGES TO ASSIST IN THE WORK JUST AS WELL. 
          SO THE FIRST PICTURE IS AT THE ADULT SERVICE DESK. 
          STEPHEN'S WORKING WITH HOLLY THERE, AND THEN THE MIDDLE IS AT THE DESK. 
          AND THEN THE LAST ONE, WE'VE GOT ONE OF OUR PAGES IN THE BACK ROOM WITH PATTY. 
          THERE'S THE REST OF EVERYBODY. CIRCULATION. AWESOME. 
          YEAH, I WAS CIRC SUPERVISOR FOR A WHILE. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR DIANE BESIDES THE LOCKER? THAT'S GREAT. 
          SORRY. IT'S JUST BEEN SO HARD. SORRY. GO AHEAD. 
          ALL RIGHT. SO I'M CARRIE SAMPLES. I'M A COMMUNITY SERVICES,
WHICH IS BASICALLY MARKETING. 
          WE DO MARKETING AND ADULT PROGRAMING AND ALL THE PROGRAMING THERE FOR US. 
          THE THREE OF US ARE INTROVERTS. ONE OF US IS AN EXTROVERT. 
          I'M NOT EXTROVERT, SO WE DO A LOT OF MISCELLANEOUS THINGS LIKE PROGRAM MATERIALS,
SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS, EMAIL NEWSLETTERS IN LIBRARY WAYFINDING, PROMOTIONAL SIGNS,
DISPLAYS ALL KINDS OF THINGS THAT FALL UNDER THE CATEGORY OF JUST KIND OF BROADCASTING AND BEING A MEGAPHONE FOR THE COOL THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING AROUND THE LIBRARY. 
          SO THIS PAST YEAR, WE DID 121 PROGRAMS WITH 3000 ATTENDEES. 
          AND SOME OF OUR NOTABLE PARTNERSHIPS WERE WE PARTNERED WITH THE TEXAS TREES FOUNDATION AND
PARKS AND RECREATION AS PART OF THE RICHARDSON REPLANT EFFORT. 
          AFTER THE STORM TO GET. PEOPLE WOULD COME TO A LECTURE AND LEARN ABOUT TREE CARE,
AND THEN THEY'D GET TO LEAVE WITH A FREE TREE. 
          SO THAT WAS A NICE PROGRAM. WE DID A TASTE OF RICHARDSON EVENT WITH A 15 LOCAL RICHARDSON
RESTAURANTS, WHERE PEOPLE CAME AND THEY COULD JUST SAMPLE THE FOOD FROM LOCAL RESTAURANTS. 
          WE PARTNERED WITH TEXAS A&M AGRILIFE FOR MAKE A BUTTERFLY GARDEN,
JUST BY A DIVERSE PLANT LIFE, TO HELP WITH THE ECOLOGY OF THE ENVIRONMENT. WE DOWN ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT,
THE MIDDLE RIGHT IS JOYFUL HOOVES. 
          THAT'S THERAPEUTIC. HORSES, MINIATURE HORSES. 
          SO WE'VE GOT A READ TO DOGS PROGRAM. WE DID A READ TO CATS THING EARLIER IN APRIL,
AND THEN NOW WE'VE DONE THIS TO WITH THERAPEUTIC HORSES. 
          SO THAT WAS A NICE EVENT. WE PARTNERED WITH THE DIALOG INSTITUTE TO DO A TURKISH COFFEE
CEREMONY. 
          JOANNA CAME AND DID A LECTURE ABOUT COMANCHES IN POPULAR CULTURE. 
          SHE'S A VERY POPULAR PRESENTER AT THE LIBRARY. 
          WE PARTNERED WITH THE GENEALOGY FRIENDS OF PLANO. 
          WE'VE DONE ALL KINDS OF PARTNERSHIPS. SO WE DO,
WE TRY TO DO A RANGE OF THINGS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE APPEAL TO EVERYONE'S INTERESTS. 
          [00:30:06]
WE CREATED, PRINTED AND DISPLAYED 231 SETS OF PRINTED PROGRAM MATERIALS. 
          SO THAT RANGES FROM. WE DO THE BACK PAGE OF THE RICHARDSON TODAY POSTERS TRIENNIAL AND
INDIVIDUAL FLIERS. 
          THERE'S SOME SUMMER FLIERS HERE IF YOU WANT TO GRAB SOME BEFORE YOU GO. 
          WE'VE GOT THE CHILDREN'S AND THE ADULTS HERE THAT YOU CAN PICK UP AND TAKE PROGRAMS FOR
EVENTS, INVITATIONS, LOGS, SHIPPING LABELS, ANYTHING THAT YOU MIGHT KIND OF WANT THERE TO BE AN
EXTRA SPECIAL TOUCH BOOKMARK STICKERS, THANK YOU CARDS. WE DO LIKE WAYFINDING AND DISPLAYS AND ALL KINDS OF SIGNAGE. 
          WE DO CRAFT KITS. WE DID A LOT OF THINGS FOR NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK THIS YEAR PROMOTING THE
RIGHT TO READ DAY LIBRARY WORKERS DAY OUTREACH DAY, TAKE ACTION FOR LIBRARIES DAY JUST TO KIND OF GET THE WORD OUT ABOUT HOW SPECIAL THE
LIBRARIES ARE. 
          COST SAVINGS IDEAS FOR LESS PRINTING. WE, WE CAN DO QR CODES. 
          WE'VE DONE THAT, WE'VE DONE DIGITAL THINGS FOR DIGITAL MONITORS FOR OTHER FACILITIES. 
          SO JUST ANY WAY THAT WE CAN TRY TO DRIVE OUR MESSAGE HOME,
WE WILL TRY TO COME UP WITH NEW WAYS ALL THE TIME. 
          WE MADE 360 SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS LAST YEAR. AND THEN WE ALSO STARTED USING PATRON POINT,
WHICH IS LIKE A MARKETING EMAIL SYSTEM. 
          SO WE CREATED ALL KINDS OF CAMPAIGNS TO YOU KNOW,
JUST NUDGE PEOPLE ABOUT THINGS GOING ON IN THE LIBRARY. 
          WE'VE GOT A FEW CAMPAIGNS THAT ARE TO HELP REMIND PEOPLE OF THEIR ANNIVERSARY OF GETTING
THEIR LIBRARY CARD SO THEY CAN COME IN AND GET A PRIZE. 
          AND A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE WILL COME BACK AND MAYBE RENEW THEIR LIBRARY CARD AT THAT TIME. 
          WE'VE GOT WELCOME EMAILS FOR WHEN PEOPLE GET THEIR CARD THAT TELL THEM ABOUT DIGITAL
SERVICES AND PROGRAMS AT THE LIBRARY. 
          IT INTEGRATES WITH CIRCULATION. SO IT LETS PEOPLE KNOW WHEN THEY'VE GOT A HOLD AVAILABLE
WHEN THEIR STUFF. 
          THERE ARE SEVERAL DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF LETTING PEOPLE KNOW THAT,
THAT THEIR ITEMS ARE DUE. 
          AND SO OVERALL OVER THE YEAR WE'VE REACHED 49,073. 
          WE ALSO HAVE CHALKBOARD. WE GIVE AWAY A MONTH KITS TO KIND OF HIGHLIGHT OUR COOKBOOK
COLLECTION. 
          WE UPDATE THE WEBSITE. WE HAVE HERITAGE INSPIRED CRAFT KITS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          SO ALL SORTS OF THINGS. I JUST REALIZED I HAVE CONTROL OF THIS. 
          SO OUR CLOSING TIMELINE WE HAD SUCCESS WITH A KIND OF A,
WE HAD A STAGE THAT WE WENT THROUGH LAST TIME WHEN WE WERE CLOSING, MOVING HERE, AND WE'RE JUST GOING TO KIND OF TAKE THAT AND
REPEAT IT BECAUSE IT WORKED WELL. 
          AND WE HAD THIS WATCH THIS SPACE MOVING INFO COMING SOON. 
          SO ABOUT ONE AND A HALF MONTHS BEFORE WE WOULD SORT OF PUT THAT OUT EVERYWHERE. 
          SO THERE WOULD BE SOCIAL MEDIA, THERE WOULD BE POSTERS,
THERE WOULD BE POSTS IN THE RICHARDSON TODAY. 
          WE WOULD LET PEOPLE KNOW INTERLIBRARY LOAN FUNCTIONS ARE SUSPENDING 3D PRINTING WILL BE
SUSPENDING START POSTING BECAUSE I MEAN WE ACTUALLY HAVE SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO THIS IS THEIR FIRST EXPERIENCE OF THE LIBRARY. SO WE WOULD WANT TO MAKE SURE,
EVEN THOUGH WE'RE RETURNING TO A FORMER BUILDING, THAT WE HAVE MAPS THAT SHOW PEOPLE THIS IS WHERE WE'LL BE. 
          THESE ARE THE CLOSURE DATES. THIS IS THE TIMELINE. 
          THESE ARE SOME OF THE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS. 
          AT CLOSING WOULD HAVE THE BUILDING BOOK DROP CLOSURE SIGNS AND NOTIFICATIONS. 
          LET PEOPLE KNOW WHEN THE LAST DAY IS THAT THEY CAN PICK UP A HOLD ITEM AND CHECK OUT
PHYSICAL ITEMS AND, YOU KNOW, MAKING SURE ALL OF OUR DIFFERENT MEDIA CHANNELS HAVE THE HOURS UPDATED. 
          LET PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THE MOBILE APP AND OTHER WAYS TO GET INFORMATION. 
          WE'LL HAVE UPDATES ON THE WEBSITE NEWSLETTERS THAT WE CAN SEND OUT. 
          THERE'S ALL KINDS OF WAYS THAT WE CAN LET PEOPLE KNOW,
AND THIS IS KIND OF THE CAMPAIGN THAT WE USED BEFORE. 
          IT'S I THINK IT SAID MOVING ON DOWN THE ROAD LAST TIME,
AND NOW WE'RE MOVING ON TO BACK. 
          SO IT'S JUST, IT'S THE SAME LITTLE GIRL MOVING THE,
THE BOOKS BACK TO THE LOCATION. 
          SO THAT SAME SORT OF BRANDING WITH THE, WITH THE QR CODE THAT LEADS TO A MAP AND OTHER
INFORMATION. 
          SO WITHIN THE WEEK OF CLOSING, WE'D HAVE THE HORIZON CLOSURE. 
          WHEN THE HORIZON CLOSES OR IS NOTIFIED, THE HORIZON HAS THE CLOSURE START DATE INPUT INTO
IT. 
          WHEN THE COURIER IS SUSPENDED WHEN MAIL STOPS AT THIS LOCATION AND STARTS UP AT THE NEW AT
THE RENOVATED LOCATION AND WHEN THE BOOKS ARE ACTUALLY MOVED. 
          AND THAT'S KIND OF, I THINK WE'RE HOPING FOR LIKE IN MID TO,
IN AUGUST FOR THE BOOKS ARE MOVED. 
          EVERYTHING'S ALL KIND OF UP IN THE AIR STILL END OF AUGUST. 
          DIANA'S HOPING TO HAVE THE GATES AND SORTER INSTALLED SO THAT WE CAN KIND OF HANG ON
THOSE, SOME OF THOSE FIRM DATES, FIRMER DATES ON THE MARKETING TIMELINE. 
          YOU KNOW, IT CORRESPONDS A LOT WITH THE TIMELINE,
BUT JUST AN ONGOING MESSAGE. 
          SO TWO MONTHS BEFORE WE'D HAVE TO WATCH THE SPACE AND THEN HAVING THE CLOSING DATE,
CLOSURE DATES AND MAP TIMELINE IF ACUTE ACCUSED SERVICES SUSPENDED, 
          [00:35:03]
SERVICES ONGOING. WE HAD A RANGE OF THINGS THAT WE POSTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA,
LIKE THE BOOK DROP IS CLOSED. 
          WE HAD A SOMETHING THAT WAS ENCOURAGING PEOPLE THAT I THINK IT SAID,
CHECK US OUT LITERALLY, BECAUSE WE WANTED PEOPLE TO CHECK OUT THEIR BOOKS AND THEN KEEP THEM UNTIL WE REOPEN SO
THAT AS MUCH OF OUR COLLECTION AS POSSIBLE COULD BE GETTING USE BY PATRONS WHILE WE'RE, YOU KNOW, CLOSED AND NOT ABLE TO CHECK OUT PHYSICAL MATERIALS. 
          WHAT'S THAT? YES. WE DON'T. AND ABOUT ONE AND A HALF MONTHS TO. 
          CHECK THEIR CARDS ARE SAYING THEY CAN USE OTHER LIBRARIES. 
          THERE ARE A LOT OF NEIGHBORING LIBRARIES THAT HAVE RECIPROCAL BORROWING PRIVILEGES THAT
YOU CAN VISIT. IN THE MEANTIME, DURING THE HOPEFULLY NOT TOO LONG PERIOD THAT WE'RE CLOSED. AND THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT DIGITAL SERVICES AND OVERDRIVE ARE ALWAYS AVAILABLE. 
          AND THAT WAS ANOTHER ONE OF OUR HOLDUPS. YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO GET THIS STAFF. 
          I AM WEARING MY ASK ABOUT THE MOVE BUTTON. SO WE HAVE THESE STAFF START TO ASK ME ABOUT
THE MOVE BUTTONS. 
          WE MAY TURN THE ARROW GOING THE OTHER WAY. SO SORT OF GOING BACK JUST A REMINDER TO CHECK
OUT THE BOOKS AND KEEP THEM UNTIL AFTER WE'RE IN PLACE. 
          LETTING PEOPLE KNOW THAT THE INTERLIBRARY LOANS TWO WEEKS BEFORE. 
          JUST A REMINDER, ONCE WE KNOW WE HAVE A FIRM DATE THAT THE CLOSURE DATE IS APPROACHING,
AND THEN A WEEK BEFORE, LIKE REMINDING PEOPLE ABOUT THE CLOSURE WE HAD A LOT OF SUCCESS THE FIRST TIME WE MOVED
WITH SHARING POSTS, JUST PROGRESS ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. 
          PEOPLE LOVE TO SEE PICTURES OF THE LIBRARY WITH,
YOU KNOW, LIKE ALL THE CHAIRS MOVED TO ONE SIDE OF THE ROOM OR A BUNCH OF SIGNS IN A STACK OR JUST NOSTALGIC POSTS. LIKE YOU CAN SEE DIANE IN THAT PICTURE. 
          THE THIRD, LIKE THE MIDDLE, MIDDLE, RIGHT ONE. 
          THAT'S WHERE THE BOOK DROP WAS. SO WE TOOK A PICTURE OF THEM POSING BEHIND THERE AFTER
THEY TOOK OFF THE MECHANISM. 
          AND JUST PEOPLE LOVED THOSE POSTS AND THEY WOULD SAY,
OH, I LOVE THIS BUILDING. 
          I REMEMBER GOING, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE ALL THE CHANGES. 
          AND SO WE'RE HOPING TO HAVE THE SAME SUCCESS WITH THOSE KINDS OF POSTS AGAIN COLLABORATE
WITH OTHER CITY DEPARTMENTS TO KIND OF GET THE WORD OUT BETTER AND JUST SHOW THE PROGRESS PHOTOS MOVING SCENES, STAFF PACKING AND WORKING COMPARISON PHOTOS. 
          LIKE WE COULD DO THE BUILDING BEFORE THE RENOVATION VERSUS AFTER TEMPORARY SPACE WITH THIS
RENOVATED SPACE. 
          LIKE YOU CAN SHOW US PACKING HERE AND UNPACKING THERE,
MOVE IN 2023 VERSUS MOVING 2026 AND JUST RENOVATIONS OVER THE YEARS. 
          LIKE, WHAT WAS IT, THE 2007 SIX SIX? YEAH, 95. 
          YEAH, JUST, JUST KIND OF REMINDING, KEEPING THE LIBRARY CLOSE IN PEOPLE'S HEARTS,
YOU KNOW, WHILE THIS IS GOING ON. AND WE, WE DID BECAUSE WE HAVE THE NEWSLETTERS NOW,
THAT WILL BE A BIG HELP TO US BECAUSE WE CAN, WE CAN REALLY BLAST EVERYONE IF WE HAVE TO, TO LET PEOPLE KNOW. 
          WE DID HAVE SOME PEOPLE WHO WERE LIKE, WHERE ARE YOU GUYS? WE LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE GATES UP
AROUND THE LIBRARY. 
          AND THAT'S WHY WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE MAKE REALLY MADE EVERY EFFORT TO LET PEOPLE KNOW
THAT, THAT WE'RE READY TO REOPEN. WE HAVE A LIBRARY NEWS SPOTLIGHT THAT WE'LL HAVE ON THE
WEBSITE AND WE CAN HAVE QR CODES LINKED TO THIS PAGE. 
          ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE THOUGHT ABOUT DOING WAS YOU CAN ADD AN NFC CHIP TO A BOOKMARK. 
          SO WE THOUGHT ABOUT 3D PRINTING BOOKMARKS AND HAVING THAT CHIP LINKED TO THAT SPOTLIGHT ON
THE WEBSITE. 
          SO PEOPLE HAVE SOMETHING THAT THEY CAN KEEP WITH THEM THAT WILL REMIND THEM,
YOU KNOW, IT'S VERY COOL. 
          THEY CAN JUST SIT ON THEIR PHONE AND THEY'LL TAKE THEM RIGHT TO THAT WEBSITE. IT'S LIKE,
JUST, JUST DON'T FORGET ABOUT US. 
          JUST REMEMBER US. AND THEN WITH OUTREACH RILEY CAN TAKE SWAG GIVEAWAYS,
TAKE INMATES OUT WITH HER WHEN SHE GOES TO DO OUTREACH EVENTS OR TO OTHER FACILITIES JUST TO KEEP THE LIBRARY KIND OF ON PEOPLE'S MINDS. 
          WE DID TAKE IN MAKES LAST TIME ON THE LEFT. THAT WAS ROB WAS APPROACHING. 
          SO WE DID A BOOKMARK WITH YOU. REMEMBER WHEN WE DID WHAT WAS IT? REMARKABLY BRIGHT CREATURES. SO THAT'S A BOOKMARK TO GO ALONG WITH THAT BOOK. 
          AND WE PUT WE PUT THAT OUT AT THE REC CENTERS AND WITH JUST,
YOU KNOW, AGAIN, TO KEEP PEOPLE THINKING ABOUT THE LIBRARY. 
          AND JUST WE THOUGHT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WERE THINKING IS BECAUSE ONE OF THE PUBLIC
ART PIECES HAS THE FOUR DIFFERENT FLOWERS, WE THOUGHT WE COULD HAVE A TAKE AND MAKE WITH PAPER FLOWER KITS. 
          AND THEN BY THE TIME PEOPLE DO FOUR OF THOSE,
THEY CAN HAVE A BOUQUET OF FLOWERS THAT ARE FEATURED IN THE PUBLIC ARTS. 
          YOU KNOW, JUST FUN THINGS LIKE THAT. THE WE ALWAYS HAVE THOUGHT THAT I THINK JENNY CALLS
IT THE BUBBLE ART, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S THE REAL NAME, THE ART FOR THE CHILDREN'S AREA OR IS IT SOFTER
THAN AIR? BUT IT'S BUBBLES. OKAY. BUT WE THOUGHT BUBBLE SOME SORT OF BUBBLES THEY CAN MAKE TO GO
ALONG WITH THAT CHILDREN'S PUBLIC ART WORK TOO. 
          AND THAT SECOND LIFT POST WAS ABOUT OUR CLOSING DAY. 
          WE MADE A POST TAKING PICTURES OF EVERYTHING THAT WAS HAPPENING ON THE DAY WE CLOSED
BEFORE WE MOVED HERE, 
          [00:40:01]
AND IT WAS A HUGELY ENGAGING POST, AND EVERYBODY WAS KIND OF FEELING NOSTALGIC BECAUSE WE
WERE CLOSING AND CUSTOMERS WERE LIKE, BYE, WE'LL SEE YOU WHEN WE MOVE. AND SO SOMETHING,
YOU KNOW, WE CONTINUE TO DO THINGS LIKE THAT AND SHOW OUR PROCESS, I THINK WILL KEEP. WHO DOES ALL THESE POSTS MOSTLY ARE MOSTLY MY TEAM. 
          YEAH, YEAH. WOW. JUST INCREDIBLE. I KNOW BECAUSE I KNOW HOW HARD THAT IS. 
          YEAH. IT'S A TOUGH JOB. IT'S A LOT OF WORK. BUT IT IS LIKE IT'S BUT IT'S GOOD. 
          YOU I FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE TO DO IT BECAUSE OTHERWISE THE COMMUNITY. 
          BUT I'M VERY IMPRESSED. SO THANK YOU I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          WHAT PLATFORMS. FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM. AND THAT'S REALLY IT. 
          WE DID HAVE TWITTER, BUT WE KIND OF BACKED OFF FROM THAT. 
          SO AND THEN PATRON POINT IS KIND OF A NEW THING THAT IS THAT LIKE CONSTANT CONTACT. 
          YEAH. OR LIKE MAILCHIMP OR OTHER THINGS LIKE THAT WHERE THEY JUST SET UP THE MARKETING,
BUT IT'S VERY CUSTOMIZABLE, WHICH IS NICE. LIKE YOU CAN MAKE IT LOOK A LOT NICER THAN SOME OF THE OTHER OPTIONS THAT
WE'VE SEEN. 
          AND THEN ON THE GRAND OPENING IDEAS, PATRICIA,
I THINK YOU WERE TALKING BEFORE ABOUT, DO WE WANT IT TO BE ALL AT ONCE OR, AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT TOO. WE HAVE LOTS OF IDEAS IF WE WANT IT TO BE A BIG DEAL. 
          WE HAVE LIKE SWAG WOULD BE AWESOME STICKERS,
YOU KNOW, THE, THE GRAND OPENING WE THOUGHT ABOUT. 
          WE'VE GOT A CRICKET THAT WE CAN MAKE IRON ON FOR SHIRTS. 
          THE SOONER WE HAVE ACCESS TO MAKERSPACE ITEMS,
THE EARLIER WE COULD DO SOME OF THESE FUN SWAG IDEAS, MAYBE MORE CHEAPLY. WE DO WANT TO HAVE LIKE A CONTEST FOR THE LIBRARY CARD. 
          SO HOPEFULLY BY THE TIME WE OPEN, WE CAN HAVE SOME DIFFERENT NEW EXCITING OPTIONS FOR
LIBRARY CARD DESIGNS, BOOKMARKS ALL KINDS OF THINGS. BUT YEAH, WE COULD STAGGER IT. 
          WE COULD DO IT ALL AT ONCE. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT HAVING PERFORMERS LIKE MARIACHI ROSAS
DANCERS BAND IN TOWN NORTH BAND CARIB COMMUNITY CHORALE WOULD BE GREAT. 
          JUST KIND OF YOU KNOW, RICHARDSON CENTRIC PERFORMERS. 
          WE TALKED ABOUT HAVING MAKERSPACE DEMOS. AND AGAIN,
THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE, IS THE MAKERSPACE FUNCTIONING THE WAY THAT WE THOUGHT IT WOULD? WOULD WE WOULD, WE MIGHT WANT TO STAGGER IT OVER,
LIKE WHEN PEOPLE COULD REALLY LEAD FULL DEMOS AND REALLY SHOW, SHOW OFF THINGS. AND WE KNOW THINGS ARE WORKING THE WAY THAT WE THINK THEY SHOULD. LIBRARY
EVENTS. 
          WE COULD HAVE STORYTIMES, MAKERSPACE DEMOS, SCAVENGER HUNTS. 
          OUR CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT IS FAMOUS FOR THEIR SCAVENGER HUNTS,
BUT WE THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE FUN TO HAVE THEM FOR KIDS AND ADULTS AND, YOU KNOW, KIND OF LEAD PEOPLE THROUGH THE THROUGH THE LIBRARY AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY SEE
ALL THE DIFFERENT PARTS. 
          THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. I LOVE THAT. AND JENNY HAD SAID,
SUGGESTED WHEN WE HAD THE TASTE OF BRITAIN, THE FIRST RICHARDSON, THE FIRST TIME THAT WE MIGHT HAVE THE RESTAURANTS COME BACK,
AND MANY OF THEM HAVE SAID THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO AND KIND OF STAGGER THEM THROUGHOUT THE LIBRARY. SO AGAIN, KIND OF YEAH, REALLY FUN. YEAH. 
          IT'S LIKE IF YOU WANT THE DESSERT, THEN IT'S,
YOU KNOW. SO ARE THE FLOORS ARE ALL CARPETED OR ARE THEY DO WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT FOOD CARPETS? MOST OF IT IS. WELL. YEAH. YOU KNOW,
YOU NEVER KNOW. 
          AND THEN THAT LITTLE SUPERHERO GUY, HE HE'S JUST A MASCOT MASCOT IDEA,
BUT MAYBE A MASCOT IN THE FUTURE. 
          BECAUSE YOU HAVE A SEASONAL THEME BEHIND HIM AND THIS WOULD BE A MASCOT FOR THE FUTURE. 
          YEAH. I THINK IF YOU DESIGN A REALLY COOL T SHIRT,
MAYBE WITH THE FLOWERS, FLOWERS AND THE BOOKS SOMEHOW MIXED IN WITH THE SUPERHERO WOULD BE REALLY FUN. YEAH, IT'D BE A GREAT SHIRT. LIKE THAT'S THE COOLEST SHIRT. 
          YEAH. I MEAN, IF YOU CAN GET PEOPLE TO WEAR T SHIRTS. YEAH. 
          EVERYBODY'S LIKE, WOW. YEAH. GO. BUT ON THE GRAND OPENING,
I THINK I SAID, YEAH, THE SCAVENGER HUNT WAS A THING. 
          I KNOW GARLAND HAD A BALLOON ARTIST, WHICH THAT'S ALWAYS FUN,
BUT I DON'T THINK WE'VE EVER HAD. 
          WELL, WE HAVE THAT HERE. YEAH, I THINK SO. SO YEAH,
THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT FOR ME. 
          SO WONDERFUL. THANK YOU. COMING FROM THAT, WHAT WE WANT TO ASK YOU IS THERE ARE THINGS
THAT WE DIDN'T THINK OF THAT JUST LOOKING AT THIS. 
          I KNOW SARAH HAS THE EXPERIENCE FOR BIG EVENTS,
BUT I JUST HAVE A QUESTION. 
          ARE THERE PLANS TO COMMUNICATE OR MAYBE TAKE A LITTLE ROADSHOW DIRECTLY TO OUR SCHOOLS
JUST TO LET THEM KNOW WE'RE ABOUT TO CLOSE, AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THIS MARVELOUS NEW SPACE FOR YOU. 
          WE PROBABLY. WELL, IT'S TRICKY. DAN COULD PROBABLY TELL US BETTER AS THE START OF A SCHOOL
YEAR. 
          I'M NOT SURE THEY WANT PEOPLE COMING IN BECAUSE YOU'RE TRYING TO GET THEM SETTLED IN THE
CLASSES WE ARE VISITING RIGHT NOW THOUGH, TO TELL THEM ABOUT SUMMER READING CLUB. SO I'M NOT SURE. 
          I'M SURE WE COULD. I THINK GOING IN THE. I THINK GOING IN IN THE SPRING,
WE PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO GET EVEN. 
          YEAH. BUT PEOPLE LIKE SAY, COME TO THE LIBRARY,
GOT TO SEE THIS NEW SPACE. IT'S GOT SO MANY COOL SPACES FOR KIDS NOW. 
          YEAH, FOR TEENAGERS, FOR HIGH SCHOOLERS. I MEAN,
IT'S NOT JUST, YOU KNOW, AND WE RIGHT NOW, WE'RE, IT'S IN MY PART, I THINK WE, WE'RE RIGHT NOW VISITING 11 ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND TWO
HIGH SCHOOLS, 
          [00:45:03]
TWO, ONE JUNIOR HIGH AND ONE HIGH SCHOOL THAT THEY GO AND THEY SIT AT THE LUNCH TIME AND
CHAT WITH THE KIDS AS THEY COME BY TO TELL THEM WHAT'S GOING ON HERE. 
          AND SO ONCE WE GET THEM HERE, WE CAN OBVIOUSLY TELL THEM THIS SUMMER. 
          BUT YEAH, I'M PROBABLY BY THE TIME WE'RE READY TO OPEN IN LATE SEPTEMBER,
THEN MAYBE THEY'D BE WILLING TO HAVE US. 
          I KNOW WE'VE GONE TO LITERACY NIGHTS WITH ROVER. 
          I DON'T KNOW WHAT POINT IN THE FALL. WE DID THIS LAST TIME,
THOUGH, WE WERE CLOSE SEPTEMBER TO OCTOBER, AND WE REALLY WE WENT TO NATIONAL NIGHT OUT. WE WENT TO,
YOU KNOW, WE POPPED UP EVERYWHERE. 
          IF YOU INVITED US, WE SHOWED UP WITH THE VAN. 
          ACTUALLY, IT WAS FREE VAN. WE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE VAN YET. SO YEAH,
THAT'S REALLY COOL. 
          SO WE COULD DO THAT AGAIN, ALTHOUGH TRICKY WITH THAT IS WE HAVE A BRAND NEW BUILDING WITH
FOUR STORIES AND LOTS OF DESKS, RIGHT? AND SO WE'RE STILL MANAGING THE BUILDING WHILE STILL TRYING TO GET OUT. 
          SO MAYBE WE'VE TALKED ABOUT STARTING SOMETHING NEW WHILE WE'RE CLOSED BECAUSE WE'LL HAVE
ALL THIS STAFF, YOU KNOW. YES, WE'LL BE MOVING AND SETTING UP AND TRAINING,
BUT COULD WE TAKE A DAY AND HOP PARKS FOR A WEEK? YEAH. YEAH. OR LIKE ONE DAY A WEEK FOR FOUR WEEKS OR SOMETHING. 
          YEAH. MAYBE WE GO OUTSIDE AT AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WITH BUBBLES OR SOMETHING AND,
YOU KNOW, TALK TO THEM AS THEY COME OUT. SO I JUST THINK THAT THAT YOU CAN REALLY GET THE KIDS
THINKING IN TERMS OF BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH MEETING SPACE NOW FOR LIKE WHEN THE GROUPS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS NEED TO GET TOGETHER AND TALK AND DO STUFF,
AND IT'S GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH SPACE FOR THAT THAT THEY. 
          SO IF YOU DON'T GET THE WORD OUT THERE, THEY'RE STILL GOING TO BE GOING,
I DON'T KNOW, GO TO STARBUCKS OR SOMETHING, YOU KNOW. SO I WAS WANTING TO GET THE WORD OUT TO KIDS. ARE YOU WANTING TO GET EVERYBODY OKAY? YEAH. THE KIDS. SO MAYBE BECAUSE WE STILL GET QUESTIONS. 
          THERE'S NOBODY HERE. THEY TRY TO DELIVER BOOKS OVER THERE STILL,
SO THEY STILL LIKE TO PAY THE WATER BILL OVER THERE TOO. 
          SO OUR CONSTRUCTION GUYS SAY THEY'RE STILL TRYING TO PAY THE WATER BILL. 
          SO THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO DON'T GO TO THIS FACILITY EVERY,
YOU KNOW, LIKE THEY'RE NOT THE HEAVY USERS. 
          THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, IT'S FUNNY. FIRST OF ALL,
I WANT TO SAY THE PROGRAMING AND WHAT YOU ALL DO TO GET THE WORD OUT ABOUT THE DIVERSE PROGRAMING THE LIBRARY OFFERS IS AMAZING. I REMEMBER MY SON BEING,
ALTHOUGH HE JUST TURNED 18 RECENTLY WHEN HE WAS LITTLE, WE USED TO DO THE LAPS IN THE AND THE PUPPET SHOWS AND ALL THE READ WITH THE LIBRARIAN
STUFF. 
          AND ONE OF THE TOP THINGS I HEAR IN THE COMMUNITY NOW IS COUNCILMAN IS ALTHOUGH I DON'T
ATTEND ALL THOSE EVENTS WITH MY CHILD ANYMORE I DID ATTEND A FEW OF THE EVENTS IN THE COUNCIL SPACE. 
          YEAH, I THINK I WAS AT THE TURKISH ONE. I'VE BEEN TO A FEW. 
          AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS I HEAR THE MOST IN THE COMMUNITY IS LIKE,
THEY LOVE SEEING EVEN IF THEY DON'T. 
          NOT EVERYBODY GETS A CHANCE TO COME INTO THOSE SATURDAY MIDDAYS OR WHATEVER THE EVENTS
ARE. 
          THEY LOVE THE COMMUNITY, ABSOLUTELY LOVES SEEING ALL THE DIVERSE EVENTS THAT WE HAVE. 
          AS YOU ALL WORK SO HARD TO DO, FROM SENIORS TO THE SMALLEST OF THE SMALLS. 
          SO THAT'S THAT'S IMPRESSIVE, RIGHT? NOT ALL THE CITIES DO THAT. 
          AND WHAT YOU ALL DO IS BEYOND MY UNDERSTANDING HOW YOU'RE ABLE TO DO THAT. 
          SO I'M GOING TO I'M GOING TO BACK HIM UP ON THAT TOO BECAUSE YOUR PROGRAMING IS
INCREDIBLE. 
          SO WORKING FOR THE PARKS AND RECREATION AND ALL OF THE RECREATION CENTERS AND STUFF AND
THEIR PROGRAMING COMPARED TO YOUR PROGRAMING AND NOT SAYING ANYTHING BAD ABOUT THEIR PROGRAM BECAUSE IT'S DIFFERENT, BUT YOU ARE PHENOMENAL. 
          THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE THAT. YEAH, I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT. THAT'S THE BUZZ IN THE
COMMUNITY. YEAH YOU ARE. 
          YEAH. YOUR PROGRAMS ARE PHENOMENAL. REALLY WANT YOU KNOW,
THE ONLY THING AND I DON'T KNOW IF I'D EVEN CALL THIS A SUCCESS, BUT Y'ALL WERE TALKING ABOUT OPENING ONE IDEA. 
          I KNOW DART DID THIS WHEN THEY JUST OPENED THE SILVER LINE IS THEY HAD A COMMEMORATIVE
DART CARD. 
          AND IT WAS ACTUALLY METAL AND IT WAS LIKE OPENING DAY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          AND FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM, SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT I WOULD,
WE MIGHT CALL TRANSPORTATION NERDS REALLY GOT INTO THAT. 
          IN FACT, MY SON IS FRIENDS WITH ONE OF THEM AND HE'S LIKE,
MAN, I HEARD THEY WERE THIS. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE COOL. AND HE'S LIKE,
I THINK MY DAD HAS AN EXTRA ONE. 
          LET ME LET ME ASK DAD. AND SURE ENOUGH, I DID. 
          AND HE WAS FREAKING OUT. BUT THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT,
YOU KNOW, HAVE KIND OF OPENING DAY, MAYBE I DON'T KNOW HOW DOABLE THAT IS OR IF THAT'S EVEN EXPENSIVE OR WHAT. BUT BUT THINGS AROUND THAT FOR THOSE WHO TRULY ARE THE FANS OF
PUBLIC LIBRARIES AND, YOU KNOW, IT KIND OF CREATES BUZZ IN THE COMMUNITY. IF YOU COME OUT ON OPENING DAY OR THE
FIRST WEEK, A SPECIAL THING, A COMMEMORATIVE, LIKE A COMMEMORATIVE LIBRARY CARD THAT MAYBE IS ONLY
OFFERED THAT FIRST WEEK, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING THAT'S NOT TYPICAL DESIGN. 
          IT MIGHT SAY WEEK ONE OR OPENING DAY TYPE THING,
YOU KNOW. 
          I DON'T KNOW. WE'RE GETTING ALL THIS EQUIPMENT AND HANNAH,
WHEN SHE COMES IN AUGUST, WILL LIKE ME TALK ABOUT THE MAKER SPACE AND THE NEW EQUIPMENT COMING. SO WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT STARTING TO USE IT. 
          WE WON'T BUY IT TILL JULY. SO AND GETTING THE SUPPLIES TO PLAY WITH IT AND MAYBE ISSUING
NEW LIBRARY CARDS TO EVERYBODY. 
          SO THEY COME GET YOU NEW LIBRARY CARD, NEW LIBRARY THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ONE OF THE
ARTISTS, 
          [00:50:04]
WE'RE USING HIS ART. I THINK KERRY'S TEAM IS DOING THIS. 
          WE'RE HAVING A KIDS CONTEST AGAIN FOR THEM TO DESIGN A CARD. 
          CHARLES CLAUDET DID THE LOCKER MURAL. HE'S DOING THE STORYTIME MURAL. 
          HE'S DOING A LIBRARY CARD FOR US. BASED ON THAT SAME MURAL. 
          AND WHAT'S THE FOURTH ONE? IT WAS. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE STILL DEBATING. 
          OKAY. DO WE HAVE SHOULD WE HAVE A STAFF CONTEST OR SHOULD WE HAVE AN ADULT ARTIST CONTEST? KIND OF LIKE THE LIKE THE ELECTRICAL BOXES. YEAH. 
          THE ELECTRICAL BOXES TO HELP DESIGN COMMUNITY EXCITED? YEAH, I THINK THAT THAT'S I AGREE. I THINK THE KIDS LIKED IT THE LAST TIME WE DID IT
DURING COVID, BECAUSE IT WAS ONE OF THOSE THINGS, YOU CAN HAVE IT WITHOUT THE BUILDING BEING OPEN. AND I
STILL REMEMBER THE LITTLE GIRL WHEN WE PICKED HER. 
          SHE WAS OUTSIDE TO GET HER PICTURE WITH HER NEW LIBRARY CARD,
BUT SHE WAS VERY PROUD TO HAVE IT. 
          SO AWESOME. YEAH, ART CONTESTS ARE ALWAYS GREAT. 
          SO I'M SORRY, I HAVE A FOLLOW UP QUESTION. SO THANK YOU. 
          ON THE SCHOOL THING, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU GUYS HAVE. 
          YEAH, WE'LL DEFINITELY ADD THAT IN THERE. OUR NEXT MEETING IS SHAY AND HANNAH,
ADULT SERVICES AND YOUTH SERVICES. 
          SO AND THIS IS RIGHT AS WE CLOSE PROBABLY THAT AUGUST MEETING. 
          AND SO WE CAN YOU GUYS CAN TALK TO THEM TOO ABOUT GETTING THEIR STUFF OUT THERE. 
          SHAY ESPECIALLY IS THE KIDS. SO I HAVE A FOLLOW UP QUESTION THOUGH. 
          SO MY KIDS ARE IN ISD. WE'RE IN THE 30% OF RICHARDSON THAT'S IN PISD. 
          ARE WE ALSO INTERACTING WITH OUR PISD SCHOOL TRY AND I MAYBE THIS IS MORE OTHER COMMUNITY
LIKE I'M IN ALTRUSA AND WE TRY TO GET PISD INVOLVED. IT'S HARD. THEY HAVE A PLANO LIBRARY. 
          PLANO LIBRARIES ARE VERY GOOD. AND SO WE ARE COMPETING A LITTLE BIT. 
          I MEAN, WE'D BE HAPPY TO GO TO ANY SCHOOL IN RICHARDSON THAT IS IN PISD SO BUT I DON'T I
DON'T KNOW WHAT SHAY I'D HAVE TO ASK HER. 
          SO WE WERE IN ALDRIDGE, FOR INSTANCE, AND I WOULD SAY ALL OF OUR FAMILIES WHEN I WAS THERE
WERE USING THE RICHARDSON PUBLIC LIBRARY, OF COURSE. I MEAN THAT WAS SO I MEAN, SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT. 
          I WOULD BE HAPPY TO HELP IF YOU NEED SOME HELP WITH THAT,
BECAUSE I'M STILL VERY MUCH INVOLVED. 
          SOME OF THE. OVER THE YEARS WE HAVE TRIED. WE'VE REACHED OUT AND REACHED OUT AND REACHED
OUT TO THOSE PLANO, PLANO SCHOOLS THAT ARE IN RICHARDSON AND VICE VERSA. 
          AND WE GET VERY LITTLE COMMUNICATION BACK FROM THEIR LIGHTS,
THEIR LIBRARIANS. 
          SO, SO DO GO TO THE LIGHT MEETING THOUGH. OKAY. 
          WE'RE FRIENDS WITH ALEJANDRO, WHO RUNS THE RAZZED LIBRARY,
SO I'M SURE SHE'S GOT A COUNTERPART PART IN PLANO THAT WE COULD TALK TO ABOUT GETTING INTO THEIR SCHOOLS, TOO. OKAY. I JUST HATE TO LEAVE THOSE FAMILIES OUT,
BECAUSE I KNOW THE LIBRARY IS SO IMPORTANT TO ALL OF THOSE FAMILIES, TOO. YEAH. THIS IS WHERE ROVER REALLY COMES IN HANDY. 
          WE COULD JUST GO PARK IN A PARKING LOT AND WITH BUBBLES OR SOMETHING COMING OUT THE BACK
AND HOPEFULLY, OR AT A PARK, ONE OF THE SMALLER PARKS, NOT HUFFINES OR HEIGHTS,
BUT THE ONES THAT ARE ADJACENT TO SCHOOLS. 
          AND MAYBE WE'D GET SOME KIDS AFTER SCHOOL. I BET THEY WOULD LOVE THAT. 
          YEAH. SO THANK YOU AND THANK YOU FOR THAT REPORT. 
          IT WAS SO EXCITING. BOTH OF YOU WERE DOING IT. 
          BOTH YOUR DEPARTMENTS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. WE WILL ALSO BE DOING TOURS FOR
DIGNITARIES. 
          SO YOU GUYS WILL GET LIKE THE ONE THIS WEEKEND. 
          YOU'LL GET ONE CLOSER TO IT ONCE THE FURNITURE IS IN THERE AND MAYBE AFTER THE MOVE OF THE
BOOKS BEFORE WE OPEN AND BRINGING BACK FORMER STAFF MEMBERS, BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALSO EXPRESSED AN INTEREST TO COME SEE THE BUILDING. 
          SO I HAVE A I AND YOU MIGHT BE DOING THIS LATER ON. 
          SO WHEN YOU START MOVING IN AND PACKING UP AND DO Y'ALL NEED ANY HELP? I KNOW I'LL GET TO THAT AT THE END IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO HANDLE IT. 
          SO WE HIRED A MOVER. OKAY. SO OKAY. BUT I WOULD BE HAPPY TO COME IN AND HELP YOU ALL DO
WHATEVER YOU NEEDED. 
          WE DO HAVE ONE THING THAT WE ARE PAINTING THE STORY TIME ROOM. 
          CHARLES CLAUDETTE HAS DESIGNED THE MURAL. HE'S GOING TO COME IN AND PENCIL IT,
I GUESS. 
          AND THEN DEPENDING ON YOUR ARTISTIC SKILL, WHETHER YOU'LL BE GIVEN A AN AREA WITH ONE
COLOR IN IT, OR YOU'LL BE ALLOWED TO DO BUTTERFLIES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT IF YOU HAVE REAL SKILL. 
          SO WE'LL BE HAVING YOU GUYS. YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY ONE OF OUR BIGGEST VOLUNTEERS. 
          WE'LL ALSO INVITE OUR VOLUNTEERS, OUR TEAMS. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT. 
          THAT'S REALLY FUN. SO THE STAFF THAT COME IN AND HAVE PART IN PAINTING THAT MURAL. 
          SO WITH THAT, AND I'M NOT SURE THAT'LL BE THE WALLS WON'T AREN'T UP YET. 
          SO WE'RE STILL. YEAH. YOU GUYS ARE. THANK YOU ALL. 
          THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. CAN I CATCH YOU WITH ONE QUESTION? OH, YES. ALL RIGHT. SO LAST TIME THEY MENTIONED THAT THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE A LARGE
AMOUNT OF BOOKS THAT WILL ONLY BE AVAILABLE WHEN THE NEW LIBRARY OPENS. 
          SO WHAT KIND OF HYPER MARKETING ARE YOU GOING TO. 
          [00:55:03]
YOU MEAN LIKE THE OPENING DAY COLLECTION? YEAH. 
          YEAH. BECAUSE I THINK THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT THAT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA. 
          REALLY, REALLY EXCITING. I DIDN'T KNOW IF WHAT YOU GUYS I MEAN,
WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT THAT? I'LL DO WHATEVER. 
          YEAH. I MEAN, WE'LL HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT BECAUSE I'M SURE WE'VE THOUGHT ABOUT IT AND,
LIKE, HOW, LIKE, HOW FAR IN ADVANCE DO WE WOULD WE WANT TO HYPE THAT? OR WOULD PEOPLE JUST BE LIKE, YEAH, BUT THAT'S WHAT THEY'D LIKE TO COME TO THE LIBRARY TO
COME. 
          YOU HAVE TO COME ON OPENING DAY AND GET YOUR ADVANCE. 
          WILL WE LET PEOPLE PUT THOSE ON? THOSE ARE QUESTIONS I DON'T IT MIGHT BE JUST THEY'RE
AVAILABLE THAT DAY AND NOBODY CAN PLACE A HOLD ON THEM. 
          RIGHT? YEAH YEAH YEAH. SO I LIKE YEAH, THAT'S A COOL SUGGESTION. 
          THANK YOU. I CAN KIND OF MAYBE SPOTLIGHT. WE NEED TO WALK IN THERE TO GET EXCITED. 
          YEAH YEAH YEAH. COOL. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. NOW WE'LL GO TO THE ITEM NUMBER FIVE DISCUSSION ITEM OR YES WE'RE DONE. OKAY. 
          SO PATRICK, YOU'LL GIVE US ABOUT THE DISCUSSION ITEMS. SO LAST, LAST BOARD MEETING, WE WENT THROUGH A GOOD PORTION OF THE UPDATES ON THE LIBRARY
POLICY. 
          KEEP IN MIND THIS IS JUST A FIRST DRAFT. SO IF YOU HOPEFULLY READ THESE THAT SHELLEY SENT
OUT TO YOU EARLIER THIS WEEK. 
          SO WE'LL JUST PLOD THROUGH AND IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS,
STOP ME BEFORE I GO TO THE NEXT ONE. 
          THE VERY FIRST ONE IS 105. IT IS A BRAND NEW POLICY ON LIBRARY INFORMATION SECURITY AND
PRIVACY POLICY. 
          IT'S A NEW POLICY THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE BY THE TEXAS STATE LIBRARY IN ORDER TO STAY
ACCREDITED BEGINNING IN 2027. 
          SO WE'RE TRYING TO, TO BEAT THE CURVE HERE. THE CITY'S IT DEPARTMENT HAS REVIEWED IT. 
          THEY'VE SIGNED OFF ON IT. AS JENNY AND I WERE PREPARING FOR THIS MEETING,
WE FOUND ONE PART THAT WE ACTUALLY THINK WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK AND CHANGE. 
          AND IT'S ON PAGE TWO WHERE IT SAYS THE LIBRARY DOES NOT SELL,
RENT, LEASE OR OTHERWISE COMMERCIALLY EXPLOIT PATRON INFORMATION. 
          IT'S THE SECOND SENTENCE THAT'S THE PROBLEM. THE LIBRARY DOES NOT USE PATRON DATA FOR
MARKETING, ADVERTISING OR PROFILING PURPOSES. WE'RE NOT GOING TO USE THEIR PATRON DATA FOR EXTERNAL
MARKETING IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO SAY, AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO ADD A SENTENCE AFTER THAT,
SAYS PATRONS WHO PROVIDE AN EMAIL ADDRESS CONSENT TO RECEIVING LIBRARY RELATED NOTIFICATIONS SUCH AS LIBRARY CARD EXPIRATION REMINDERS,
DUE DATE REMINDERS, OR WELCOME INFORMATION IF THERE ARE BRAND NEW. 
          SO THAT'S, THAT'S THE FIRST UPDATE RIGHT THERE THAT WE CAUGHT. 
          DO YOU THINK YOU SHOULD ADD PROGRAM INFORMATION IN THERE? WE CERTAINLY CAN. ABSOLUTELY. EVERYTHING THAT WE SEND OUT DOES HAVE THE OPTION TO OPT OUT. 
          SO THEY CAN QUICKLY OPT OUT IF THEY DECIDE THAT THEY DON'T WANT IT AT ALL. 
          SO ON THAT ONE, DID ANYBODY SEE ANYTHING. AND THIS IS ON ONE OF FIVE THE LIBRARY
INFORMATION. 
          YES. YES. IT WAS JUST A TYPO. OH THANK YOU. ABSOLUTELY. 
          UNDER SECURITY. YES. LIMITS ON ACCESS. I THINK THAT SHOULD BE THROUGH AND NOT THOUGH. 
          IS THAT CORRECT? UNDER SECURITY. SECURITY AND SAFETY RECORDS. 
          SO HERE. OH. RIGHT THERE. OKAY. THROUGH ACCESS THREE. 
          YES. YOU'RE RIGHT. THANK YOU. AND THEN I WAS JUST CURIOUS WHAT. 
          EXIGENT CIRCUMSTANCES WERE IN THE PARAGRAPH PRECEDING. 
          WHICH SECTION ARE WE ON? WE'RE ON PAGE THREE. 
          UP AT THE TOP NOW. EXCUSE ME. SO IN PUBLIC REQUESTS. 
          THIS IS IN REFERENCE. AND YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EVEN ANSWER WHAT IT MEANS. 
          IT'S PROBABLY. IT'S A LEGAL QUESTION. IT'S A FAIRLY LEGAL,
BUT IT'S ALSO BECAUSE OF THE PATRIOT ACT. 
          THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH WE CAN DO. SO IF SOMEBODY HAS A SUBPOENA,
THAT'S WHAT THAT'S GOING TO. 
          IT'S GOT TO BE BAD ENOUGH THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE A SUBPOENA TO GET TO IT. 
          PUBLIC SAFETY. YES. YEAH. YEAH. IMMEDIATE. WELL,
THIS PARTICULAR SENTENCE IS A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER WHO'S INVESTIGATING A MATTER INVOLVING PUBLIC. YEAH. SO EXIGENT CIRCUMSTANCE THAT IT WOULD BE HORRIBLE. 
          THAT MEANS IMMEDIATE. YES. OKAY. AND HORRIBLE. 
          AND WE GOTTA TAKE CARE OF IT. OKAY, GREAT. YEAH. 
          YEAH. THAT SAME PARAGRAPH ON FIRST LINE. SHOULD THE REPORT BE IN FRONT OF ORDER? BECAUSE ON THE PREVIOUS ONE, IT DID SAY COURT ORDER. 
          OKAY. YEAH, WE CAN CHANGE THAT. HAS THAT BEEN DONE BY LEGAL? NOT YET, BUT IT WILL BE. WE'LL GET ALL OF THESE CHANGES MADE AND THEN WE WILL RUN IT BY
LEGAL. 
          YEAH. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S IN ITS BEST STATE BEFORE WE SEND IT ON TO THAT. 
          [01:00:02]
SO. OKAY. OKAY. OUR NEXT ONE IS ON LIBRARY ACCESSIBILITY. 
          ACCESSIBILITY, THE ADA COMPLIANCE THING. THIS IS KIND OF A STICKY SITUATION,
BUT THE LIBRARY FALLS UNDER THE CITY'S ADA COORDINATOR AND A LOT OF THE SISTER LIBRARIES THAT ARE ALSO UNDER CITIES WHO HAVE AN
ADA COORDINATOR DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING IN THEIR POLICY ABOUT ADA COMPLIANCE. 
          I THINK IT WOULD BE WHO OF US TO DO THE SAME THING. 
          IF ANYBODY HAS QUESTIONS ABOUT ADA, WE AUTOMATICALLY SEND THEM TO THE ADA COORDINATOR FOR
THE CITY. 
          SO WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT? SO I DO HAVE THOUGHTS ON THAT. 
          OKAY. WHEN YOU GET INTO ADA AND YOU DON'T HAVE IT,
EVERY SINGLE THING ON THIS SHEET OF PAPER OR IN YOUR POLICIES, YOU'RE GOING TO GET HAMMERED. YEAH. 
          SO, AND THE BEST THING TO DO IS TO PASS THAT QUESTION ON OR ALL OF THAT,
THOSE COMMUNICATIONS ON TO THE PERSON THAT'S IN CHARGE OF IT. OKAY. YOU WILL GET HAMMERED IF IT'S NOT IN HERE. 
          RIGHT. YEAH. AND IT'S NOT SOMETIMES IT'S JUST NOT WORTH IT. 
          WE HAVE SOMEBODY ON STAFF. WE LISTEN TO ME. I'VE BEEN RETIRED FOR THREE YEARS. 
          FOR HOW MANY YEARS? WE DO HAVE. YES. SO YOU MIGHT AS WELL USE THAT PERSON TO DO WHAT THEY
DO INSTEAD OF TRYING TO DO THAT TOO, BECAUSE IT'S A IT'S A IT'S A BOOGER. I'M TELLING YOU. 
          SO ARE YOU SAYING WE SHOULD JUST HAVE A STATEMENT SAYING THE CITY HAS AN ADA COORDINATOR? ALL REQUESTS WILL BE. YES. OKAY. KIND OF AT THE BOTTOM. 
          AND JUST LEAVE IT VERY GENERIC, VERY GENERIC AND GENERIC BECAUSE I THINK AS WE'RE I RINA'S
POINT IS WE'VE LISTED THINGS HERE. 
          AND WHAT IF WE MISSED SOMETHING? RIGHT. AND THAT'S WHAT SHE'S SAYING. 
          DON'T LIST THEM. JUST JUST SAY THERE'S AN ADA. 
          YEAH. AND THEN THE ADA COORDINATOR NEEDS TO HAVE THIS INFORMATION. 
          YES. AND THEN THEY CAN. YEAH. OKAY. AND HAVE WE SHARED ANY OF THIS WITH THE COMMUNITY
DIVERSITY AND ENGAGEMENT COMMITTEE. 
          COMMISSION COMMITTEE. BOARD. COMMISSIONER. WHICH ONE IS IT? COMMUNITY ARTS. COMMISSION. COMMISSION. THANK YOU. 
          JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, JUST TO ENGAGE THEM, BECAUSE I THINK THAT IS SOMETHING JUST FOR
THIS, FOR THIS PARTICULAR. BUT IF YOU'RE IF IT'S A CITY POLICY I MEAN,
JUST MY $0.02 HERE. 
          THINK IT OFF THE CUFF. ALL RIGHT. SO DON'T DON'T HOLD ME TO THIS. 
          BUT IF IT'S A CITY POLICY AND TO BE HONEST, LEGAL PROBABLY DRAW,
YOU KNOW, THEIR STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS THAT THAT SPELL MOST OF IT OUT. I DON'T KNOW THE CIEC IS REALLY GOING TO ADD A WHOLE LOT THERE. 
          I MEAN, I'M NOT OPPOSED TO THEM SAYING IT, BUT AT THE SAME TIME,
I DON'T THINK I WOULD SAY FOR APPROVAL. 
          I'M JUST WONDERING IF THERE'S ANY COMMUNITY PIECE THAT ON THE BLUE RIBBON COMMITTEE THAT
WAS THE PREDECESSOR OF THAT COMMISSION. 
          AND THAT WAS VERY MUCH IN THE DISCUSSIONS THAT THAT THEY DID AT THAT TIME. 
          I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT'S EVOLVED TO, BUT THAT IS THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS INCLUDED IN
DISCUSSIONS THAT ARE GOING ON IN THAT GROUP. I KNOW THAT FROM FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE,
I KNOW IT, I KNOW IT'S A PART OF THEIR PURVIEW AND, AND WHAT THEY'RE SEEKING TO ENGAGE PARTS OF THE COMMUNITY THAT THAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR
FEEDBACK FROM, WE CAN CERTAINLY REACH OUT TO, I DON'T BELIEVE HAVE THAT FULLY FORMULATED. 
          I JUST DON'T, I DON'T, I DON'T THINK IT'S RELEVANT. 
          YOUR TIMELINE ON THIS, JEFF. WELL, WE FIGURED,
WELL, THIS IS PAST ONE, SO WE'RE GOING TO GO AND MAKE ALL THESE CHANGES AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO BRING IT BACK TO YOU AS A, AN ENTIRE DOCUMENT. 
          AND SO THAT'S NOVEMBER. THIS IS A YEAH, THIS IS A ADA. 
          I DON'T THINK IT'S IT'S RELEVANT FOR THE OTHER ANOTHER COMMITTEE TO GET INVOLVED IN,
IN PASSING THESE GUIDELINES. DO YOU THINK IT'S ENOUGH TO JUST SAY THE CITY FALLS UNDER THIS OR THAT? YEAH, I THINK THAT'S THE BEST APPROACH. YEAH,
I WOULD AGREE FOR POLICY DOCUMENTS, I GUESS I'M SORT OF ALMOST EVEN THINKING OF JUST OUR EVERYTHING WE'RE CONSIDERING IN TERMS OF ADA,
I THINK WE PROBABLY COULD DO IS THERE'S ADA THINGS IN THE BUILDING. 
          I HAD AT ONE POINT HAD PICTURES OF THE SIGNS AROUND THE BUILDING,
AND THERE'S SIGNS UP SAYING THAT THIS IS A WHAT IS IT, THE HEARING ACCESSIBLE AREA. YEAH, THERE'S WE CAN PROBABLY DO A PRESENTATION THAT FEATURES
OF THE NEW LIBRARY GOING BACK THAT ARE ADA. 
          BECAUSE A LOT OF THOSE, A LOT OF THOSE THINGS CAME OUT OF THAT BLUE RIBBON COMMITTEE THAT
WE PRESENTED. 
          I THINK FOR THESE PURPOSES, AGAIN, MY $0.02,
YOU ALL ARE THE VOTERS, RIGHT? BUT FOR THESE PURPOSES, I WOULD SUGGEST WE ADD THE LINE LIKE THE SUGGESTED TO TAKE TO,
TO ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT YOUR, 
          [01:05:05]
YOUR INPUT IS ON THIS. I MEAN, THAT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT YOU COULD CHOOSE TO MAYBE
SEND AN EMAIL SAYING, LOOK, THE SUGGESTION WAS THIS BECAUSE I THINK A LOT OF THAT IS DRIVEN BY LEGAL. 
          IN ALL HONESTY, THAT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS, I THINK FOR POLICY. 
          I THINK I'M CONFLATING TWO SEPARATE THINGS. YEAH. 
          YOU POLICY. I THINK AMANDA IS CORRECT IN SAYING AND SIRI,
THIS JUST THIS IS THIS IS A LEGAL DOCUMENT REALLY, THIS IS A POLICY DOCUMENT. BUT THERE'S, I THINK A SEPARATE PIECE. 
          AND I JUST WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT AND CHEW ON IT FOR A MINUTE. 
          AND I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A THOSE THINGS THAT IT JUST GETS FLOATED EITHER TO DON OR TO
GREG AND SAY, HEY, THIS WAS A COMMENT MADE IN THE LIBRARY MEETING. 
          IS THIS WORTH LOOKING AT NEXT TIME THAT THE CITY LOOKS AT THEIR POLICY,
THEY MAY WANT TO CONSIDER RUNNING THAT THROUGH THE C ISD OR AT LEAST HAVE THEM CHEW ON IT A LITTLE BIT, BECAUSE THAT'S A SEPARATE THING THAN WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. 
          OR JUST HOW TO HOW TO MAKE SURE WE'RE INVOLVING. 
          I SEE IT, YEAH. THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY THERE. YES,
EXACTLY. 
          IT'S A COLLABORATIVE PIECE THAT MIGHT ALLOW US TO PUSH THESE OPPORTUNITIES OUT INTO A
COMMUNITY THAT THEY'RE ALREADY ESTABLISHING REGULAR RELATIONSHIPS AND COMMUNICATION WITH LIKE WE'VE PRESENTED. 
          WE PRESENTED THAT AS A PERSPECTIVE TO THEM. THAT WAS A NEW INITIATIVE. 
          I THINK THE BUILDING, WE REALLY COULD HAVE A MEETING WITH THEM ABOUT HOW WE'RE BEING
INCLUSIVE AND ENGAGING THE COMMUNITY WITH THE BUILDING BECAUSE IT'S AND MAYBE THAT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WE DO WHEN WE'RE CLOSED OR,
YOU KNOW, AS WE'RE OPENING, I DON'T KNOW, I'D HAVE TO GET WITH GREG ON WHAT THEIR CALENDAR IS,
BUT THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS WE COVERED. 
          YEAH. WE DID. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. BECAUSE THEY MET WITH THE ARCHITECTS,
THE BLUE RIBBON. 
          THEY SAT DOWN WITH CITY HALL AND THE LIBRARY AND WHAT DO YOU WANT? AND IT WAS A WIDE VARIETY OF PEOPLE ON THAT BLUE RIBBON COMMITTEE. 
          SO AND WE, I DON'T KNOW THAT WE DID EVERYTHING,
BUT WE TRIED AS MANY WOULD ALLOW. 
          DEFINITELY. SO. AND THERE ARE ADA FEATURES TO THE BUILDING THAT WE'VE NEVER HAD BEFORE. 
          SO IS THAT COMMITTEE SPECIFICALLY ONLY ADA OR. 
          NO, I WASN'T BEING INCLUSIVE. SO MAYBE THE PRESENTATION TO THEM WOULD BE HOW WE'RE USING
THE BUILDING TO BE MORE INCLUSIVE OF THE COMMITTEE. 
          AND OR IT COULD BE PROGRAMS, IT COULD BE ANYTHING PHYSICAL THINGS IN THE BUILDING. 
          IT COULD BE KERRY'S EMAILS. SO WHAT IS SHE DOING TO BE INCLUSIVE AND TO MAKE SURE WE'RE
REACHING EVERYBODY. 
          SO. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. MOVING ON TO 201 AT THE LIBRARY CARD POLICY. 
          MOST OF THIS WAS JUST TIGHTENING UP LANGUAGE AND MAKING SURE IT WAS EASIER TO READ AND
EASIER TO FOLLOW. 
          SOME THINGS THAT CHANGED. UNDER THE APPLICATION SECTION,
THEY CHANGED THE LAST LINE SLIGHTLY FROM OR DUE TO INACTIVITY FOR THREE YEARS OR EIGHT YEARS. 
          INACTIVITY IF A PATRON HAS FEES, LIBRARY CARDS ARE SUBJECT TO EXPIRATION AND RENEWAL THAT
WAS CHANGED TO A PATRON'S LIBRARY CARD MAY BE SUBJECT TO DELETION FROM THE PATRON DATABASE UPON REQUEST BY THE PATRON,
OR DUE TO INACTIVITY ON THE ACCOUNT. 
          UNDER CORPORATE CARDS, THIS WAS DELETED. AND AS JENNY AND I WAS LOOKING AT IT TODAY WE'RE
NOT SURE IT REALLY SHOULD BE. 
          THE AGENCY AND OR COMPANY NAME NAMED ON THE CARD WILL BE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL
MATERIALS CHECKED OUT ON THE ACCOUNT. 
          DO YOU GUYS HAVE COMMENTS ON THAT? THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO ASK. 
          WHY, WHY DID YOU GUYS IS IT BECAUSE WE'RE NO FEES ANYMORE? I IT, IT COULD HAVE BEEN THIS CAME OUT OF THE CIRCULATION DEPARTMENT DID,
BUT THE PERSON WHO. 
          YEAH. SHE NEEDED TO BE HERE. SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE FOLLOWING UP ON. 
          AND WHEN WE BRING THE WHOLE THING BACK, WE'LL HAVE AN ANSWER. 
          CAN YOU GIVE CAN YOU GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT YOU MEAN BY THAT? SO LIKE A DAYCARE COMES IN AND THEY WANT A CARD LIKE SAY THEIR EMPLOYEES DON'T LIVE IN
RICHARDSON. 
          THEY LIVE IN DALLAS, WHICH WOULD BE 250 FOR A CARD INDIVIDUALLY,
BUT THE DAYCARE WANTS TO COME AND CHECK OUT BOOKS FOR THEIR STUDENTS. 
          SO AND SO THEY SET UP A CORPORATE ACCOUNT. THEY COME IN ON LETTERHEAD SAYING THAT WE'RE
GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE, AND THEY LIST THREE PEOPLE WHO CAN USE THAT CARD,
I THINK, ISN'T IT THREE? I THINK IT IS THREE. AND SO IN THE PAST IT WAS IF THEY KEPT THE BOOKS OR LIKE THEY LET THE
KIDS TAKE THEM HOME AND THE KIDS DIDN'T BRING THEM BACK, WE, THIS IS WHERE I WAS QUESTIONING WHY WE GOT RID OF THAT LINE. 
          THEY WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. SO I'M NOT QUITE SURE. 
          MAYBE THEY WERE THINKING THEY WERE FINE FREE,
BUT. 
          [01:10:04]
SO THAT'S THAT'S WHY THEY YOU CAN'T YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FIND THEM FOR THE BOOK. 
          NO, I THINK WE NEED TO I THINK I THINK YEAH,
THAT'S WHAT I THAT'S WHAT I'M THINKING. 
          SO THAT LINE WAS DELETED THOSE BOOKS AGAIN RIGHT. 
          FREE. THAT LINE WAS DELETED. AND AFTER YOU KNOW,
THINKING ABOUT IT EVEN MORE, IT NO, IT, IT REALLY NEEDS TO BE PUT BACK IN. 
          SO SO WE WILL ADD THAT BACK IN. I AGREE WITH THAT. 
          THE SECOND AND ONCE AGAIN, IF THEY GET IT BACK AND RETURN IT,
THEN WE WAIVE THE FINE. 
          IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST IT STOPS THEM. OTHERWISE YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE A LOT OF BOOKS. 
          SO, SO THE NEXT ONE UNDER THE NONRESIDENT TAXPAYER CARD,
THE LAST LINE WAS DELETED. 
          PEOPLE WORKING BUT NOT RESIDING IN RICHARDSON ARE NOT RESIDENTS. 
          THERE WAS JUST A LITTLE REDUNDANCY THERE. UNDER THE INTERNET ONLY CARDS. 
          WE DELETED THE BULLET POINT SECTION AND WE ALSO DELETED THAT NO MATERIALS MAY BE BORROWED
IF THE PATRON LATER PRESENTS AN UPDATED ID OR A DOCUMENT SHOWING THEIR CURRENT ADDRESS. DA DA DA. 
          WE DELETED THAT SECTION AS WELL. I THINK BY DEFINITION IT INCLUDES THAT THERE ARE NO
MATERIALS THAT CAN BE CHECKED OUT. IT'S INTERNET ONLY. THAT'S IT. THE SECOND THE NEXT ONE UNDER TECH SHARE,
WE REORDERED THE BULLET POINT SECTION TO BE IN ORDER OF IMPORTANCE. WE CHANGED THE NUMBER OF PHYSICAL ITEMS THAT CAN BE CHECKED OUT AT
ONE TIME FROM THREE ITEMS TO FIVE. 
          AND WE DELETED THE BULLET POINT THAT SAYS TECH SHARE CARDS DO NOT OFFER ACCESS TO EBOOKS
OR OTHER DIGITAL MATERIALS. 
          THEY'VE NEVER ALLOWED IT. PEOPLE CAN CAN ASK AND WE'LL GLADLY TELL THEM,
BUT WE DON'T NEED TO BELABOR THE POINT. 
          WAS THERE ANYTHING? THE ONE THING THAT JENNY AND I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT ON THIS PARTICULAR THING HAD TO DO WITH THE,
THE ORDINANCE AT THE VERY BEGINNING ABOUT THE NONRESIDENT FEE. 
          WE, WE FEEL LIKE THE PROPOSED POLICY VERSUS THE CURRENT ONE,
THE PROPOSED ONE SORT OF LOSES THE MEANING. 
          SO I THINK WE'RE GOING TO TAKE IT BACK TO EXACTLY WHAT THE ORDINANCE SAID FOR THAT
SECTION. 
          SO THAT WILL BE A LITTLE MORE LENGTHY AT THE BEGINNING. 
          ULTIMATELY IT IS THAT IF A NONRESIDENT COMES TO GET A LIBRARY CARD,
THEY WILL BE CHARGED THE SAME FEE THAT A RICHARDSON RESIDENT IS CHARGED WHEN THEY GO TO THAT PERSON'S CITY. 
          THAT'S IT IN A NUTSHELL. BUT IT'S MUCH LONGER AND MORE LEGAL. 
          DOES ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS? OKAY. OKAY. SECTION TWO. 
          25 IS ON THE LOCAL HISTORY COLLECTION. NOT MUCH REALLY CHANGED ON THIS ONE EITHER,
EXCEPT FOR BEING ABLE TO MAKE IT EASIER TO READ WITH THE BULLET POINTS. AND WE ALSO CHANGED REFERENCE DEPARTMENT TO THE LOCAL HISTORY ROOM IN LIGHT
OF THE RENOVATED LIBRARY. 
          WE WON'T HAVE REFERENCE ANY LONGER. ARE YOU? OH,
YEAH, I GOT THAT. YEAH. WAS IT REALLY? THAT'S ALL RIGHT. OH FIVE. 
          205. I THINK WE'RE MISSING IT. OKAY. I WAS JUST AS SIMPLE. 
          IT SAID THE REFERENCE DEPARTMENT AND IT MATCHES THE HISTORY ROOM. 
          OKAY. WELL, I'M SORRY GUYS. THAT'S RIGHT. ON SECTION 305. IT'S BULLETIN BOARDS AND DISTRIBUTION OF FREE MATERIALS. 
          THIS WAS UPDATED TO INCLUDE COLLECTION BOXES IN THE POLICY AND IN THE TITLE. 
          BELIEVE IT OR NOT, WE HAVE OVER THE LAST YEAR GOTTEN A NUMBER OF REQUESTS ABOUT CAN WE PUT
UP A COLLECTION BOX IN YOUR LIBRARY? AND AFTER COORDINATING WITH GREG IN COMMUNICATIONS WE DETERMINED THAT THE ONLY COLLECTION
BOXES WE SHOULD HAVE IN THIS LIBRARY HAVE TO DO WITH CITY SPONSORED COLLECTIONS. SO IF IT'S SOMETHING THE ENTIRE CITY IS DOING,
THEN WE WILL DO IT. 
          IF IT'S NOT, WE'RE NOT DOING IT. SO WE USED HIS SOP IN ORDER TO WRITE OURS. 
          WE TIGHTENED UP SOME OF THE LANGUAGE, MADE IT EASIER TO READ WITH THE PROHIBITED ITEMS IN
BULLET POINTS. 
          NOW AND WE INCLUDED A NEW SECTION FOR THE COLLECTION BOXES BASED ON THE PROCEDURE FOR THE
CITY. 
          ONE OF THE THINGS THAT AGAIN, AS WE WERE READING THROUGH AND IT'S REALLY IT'S FUNNY HOW
THIS STUFF COMES UP BECAUSE YOU DON'T THINK ABOUT IT UNTIL YOU GET 
          [01:15:08]
THE THE THING IN FRONT OF YOU AND YOU GO, WAIT A MINUTE. 
          SO WE'RE GOING TO CHANGE THE RELIGIOUS TRACKS AND THE RELIGIOUS HOLIDAY EVENTS TO
RELIGIOUS MATERIALS. 
          AND WE ARE GOING TO CHANGE PARTIZAN POLITIC MATERIALS INTO POLITICAL MATERIALS AND JUST
KEEP IT VERY BROAD AND GENERAL. 
          ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY OF THAT? OKAY. DO YOU SIGN OFF ON A FLIER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT? THEY DO AT THE MOMENT THEY COME IN. IT HAS TO BE. 
          OUR GENERAL RULE OF THUMB IS IT HAS TO BE NONPROFIT. 
          IT CAN'T BE SOMETHING THAT CHARGES AN ENTRY FEE AND IT HAS TO BE A RICHARDSON BASED
ORGANIZATION. 
          THOSE ARE MY THREE MAIN CRITERIA BEFORE I POST SOMETHING IN THE LOBBY FOR THE PUBLIC AND
EVERYBODY TO SEE, I FEEL LIKE YOU CAN SAY THAT THIS DOES NOT IMPLY THAT WE SUPPORT EVERYTHING WE POST,
BUT IT'S HERE. 
          SO PEOPLE ARE GOING TO AUTOMATICALLY ASSUME WE DO SO. 
          NUMBER 306 IS THE PUBLIC FORUM. THERE'S NO CHANGE TO THIS BECAUSE THE CITY ATTORNEY CAME
UP WITH THIS AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO MESS WITH IT, BUT IT ESSENTIALLY SAYS THAT COMMUNITY GROUPS AND
INDIVIDUALS ARE NOT ALLOWED INSIDE THE LIBRARY TO SOLICIT MEMBERSHIPS, PETITION SIGNATURES OR OTHER TYPES OF SIGNUPS OR DISTRIBUTE INFORMATION. 
          SO THERE'S THAT ONE. NUMBER 310 IS WE EXPANDED THIS IN LIGHT OF HAVING THE NEW GALLERY
SPACE DOWNSTAIRS IN THE, THE RENOVATED LIBRARY. THERE WERE TIMES WHEN THE RICHARDSON CIVIC ART
SOCIETY DID NOT HAVE A SHOW UP AND IT WAS JUST A BLANK SPACE WHERE THEY WERE. WE THINK IT'S KIND OF A GOOD IDEA,
YOU KNOW, IF THERE IS A BLANK, A BLANK TIME IN THE SCHEDULE, IT WOULDN'T HURT TO HAVE SOME OTHER ORGANIZATIONS WHO WOULD
BE WILLING TO DISPLAY SOME OF THEIR ITEMS. SO IT GOES FROM SOMETHING QUITE SHORT TO SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE ROBUST. 
          IT MAINTAINS THAT THE EXHIBITS CREATED BY THE LIBRARY BY THE CITY OF RICHARDSON
DEPARTMENTS, WHICH INCLUDES THE PHOTO CONTEST EVERY JANUARY TO FEBRUARY. 
          AND THE RICHARDSON CIVIC ART SOCIETY, THEY ALWAYS TAKE PRECEDENCE IN BETWEEN. 
          USAGE FROM OTHER COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS MAY BE APPROVED TO SHOWCASE THE ARTWORK. 
          THE EXHIBIT GUIDELINES ARE MOSTLY SET OUT FOR COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS,
ALONG WITH A PROPOSAL AND A FORMAL AGREEMENT, AND THOSE MAY NEED TO BE RUN THROUGH THE CITY ATTORNEY. 
          WE HAVE NOT DONE YET YET, BUT WE FULLY INTEND TO. 
          SO HAVE YOU GOTTEN WITH THE EISMANN CENTER? BECAUSE THEY DO THAT? OH DO THEY OKAY. THAT YOU KNOW, THAT'S A GOOD IDEA. 
          YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD IDEA. YEAH. THAT'S THE ONE PLACE I DID NOT THINK OF. 
          SO YEAH, YEAH, THEY HAVE THEY HAVE A PROPOSAL THING THAT THEY DO. 
          AND I'M SURE THAT PETE LOOKED AT THAT AS WELL. 
          GOOD. OKAY. I WILL GET WITH ALI AND WALK THROUGH THAT AND SEE HOW THAT AFFECTS OUR
POSSIBLY ALONG WITH DESCRIPTIONS, YOU WOULD WANT TO SEE IMAGES OF THE ARTWORK. OKAY. 
          LOOK AT IT. DEFINITELY NEED TO DO THAT. OKAY. 
          OH, IT SOUNDS GOOD. AND THEN YOU LOOK AT IT AND YOU GO,
OH MY GOSH. WE CAN'T HAVE THAT. YEAH YEAH. 
          YEAH. THEY WOULD NEED TO THEY WOULD NEED TO SUBMIT THOSE KIND OF HOWEVER MANY YOU DECIDE
TO LOOK. 
          YEAH. BUT. NOW I CONSIDERED ALL KINDS OF OTHER PEOPLE AND TALK TO THEM, BUT I DID NOT CONSIDER THE ASSESSMENT. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. OKAY. WELL, WE WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH RESEARCHING THESE THINGS AND
HOPEFULLY BRING IT ALL BACK IN BETTER FORM IN NOVEMBER. AND I'LL HAVE ONE OF THESE. 
          THEY'LL HAVE THESE PROBABLY. OKAY, COOL. SO YEAH,
THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          WOW. IT'S A LONG. IT IS. YES. IT'S A HUGE HUGE. 
          YES. YEAH. NOT LONG. HUGE PROJECTS. OKAY. AND OKAY,
THEN DO LIKE A STAFF REPORT ON THE. 
          JENNIFER. OKAY. I TOLD YOU ABOUT THE TOUR. BEFORE I GET INTO THE STAFF REPORT. 
          I WILL SEND YOU AN EMAIL ABOUT IT SATURDAY, WHAT TO WEAR,
WHEN TO BE THERE, WHERE TO PARK, 
          [01:20:03]
HOW TO GET ON SITE. AND IT'S MOSTLY GOING THROUGH THE BUILDING. 
          YOU'LL HAVE TO USE THE STAIRS FOR THE MOST PART IF YOU ARE REALLY STRUGGLING,
THE ELEVATORS DO WORK AND THE SUPERINTENDENT SAID HE WOULD RUN SOME PEOPLE ON IF IT BECAME A NECESSITY. IF YOU DECIDE TO COME, CAN WE BRING ANYBODY ELSE OR JUST FOR US? JUST US, JUST YOU GUYS. OKAY. STAFF UPDATES. WE HAVE ONE OF OUR LIBRARIANS. 
          SCOTT THOMPSON, IS RETIRING AT THE END OF THE MONTH. 
          HE'S BEEN HERE 24.5 YEARS, SO WE'LL HAVE A SMALL PARTY. 
          HE WANTED TO KEEP IT VERY LOW KEY. SO HE'S, I THINK HIS WIFE HAS ALREADY RETIRED,
SO HE'S JUST LOOKING FORWARD TO HIS KIDS ARE OUT OF SCHOOL NOW. 
          AND MAYBE THE, THE MOVE IS DAUNTING. SO WE'RE WONDERING IF WE'RE GOING TO LOSE SOME MORE
BEFORE THAT HAPPENS. 
          I DID RECEIVE PERMISSION TO OPEN THAT JOB. I'M SURE IF YOU'VE BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO
WHAT'S GOING ON, BUDGETS ARE TIGHT, BUT THE CITY MANAGER IS AWARE THAT WE ARE GOING BACK TO A BIGGER
FACILITY, MORE DESKS. WE'VE HAD, I THINK SIX POSITIONS FROZEN OVER THE LAST 2 OR 3 YEARS. 
          PART TIME, NOT FULL TIME. BUT SO HE SAID I COULD COME TO HIM WHEN DANETTE LEFT. 
          I NOW REPORT TO CHARLES, I GUESS. DID THAT HAPPEN AFTER. 
          YES. YEAH. SO DID THAT. DANETTE GARCIA HAS LEFT THE CITY. 
          SHE'S NOW CITY MANAGER OR TOWN MANAGER OF SUNNYVALE. 
          SO THAT WAS THE END OF APRIL, I GUESS. SO I NOW HAVE A NEW BOSS. 
          DON MET WITH US INDIVIDUALLY AND ASKED US WHAT OUR NEXT SIX MONTHS ARE LOOKING LIKE,
AND MINES THE BUILDING. 
          CHARLES IS OVER CAPITAL PROJECTS. SO HE SAID,
THIS IS THE EASIEST THING FOR CHARLES TO BE OVER THE LIBRARY. 
          SO I REPORT TO HIM NOW. BUT HE SAID FOR ANY PERSONNEL ISSUES TO COME TO HIM DIRECTLY. 
          SO I EMAILED DON AND HE SAID YES, WE COULD FILL THE FULL TIME POSITION. 
          SO WE HAVE A COUPLE IN HOUSE AND THEN WE'LL OPEN IT UP OUTSIDE TO,
TO EXPERIENCE. 
          BUT WE WANT PEOPLE WITH THE MASTER'S DEGREE FOR SCOTT'S POSITION BECAUSE HE,
HE HAD ONE. 
          AND THAT WOULD BE IN ADULT SERVICES. AND THEN HE ALSO APPROVED HIRING PART TIMERS IN JULY
TO GET READY FOR THE MOVE BACK. 
          GIVE US A COUPLE MONTHS WITH THEM BEFORE WE OPEN. 
          AND WE'RE WORKING ON HIRING THEM AS LIBRARY SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES. 
          WE'RE NOT SURE WHO THEY WILL REPORT TO YET, BUT THEY WILL WORK EVERY FLOOR,
EVERY DEPARTMENT. 
          THEY COULD BE ON A DESK. THEY COULD BE IN A PROGRAM. 
          SO IT'S HAVING THAT GENERALIST WHO CAN POP UP AND BE ANYWHERE. 
          SO PART TIMERS, ARE YOU I ASKED FOR SIX. SO NO FULL TIMERS? NO. WHEN WE LOOKED AT IT, THE COST OF. WE COULD GET TWO FULL TIMERS FOR SIX PART TIMERS
AND IT COMES DOWN TO 80. 
          WELL, YEAH, AND IT'S 80 HOURS VERSUS 120 BECAUSE IT'S ABOUT 20 HOURS FOR A PART TIMER AND
WE NEED MORE HOURS THAN WE DO FULL TIME. 
          YEAH. SO IT WAS, WE WERE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO ADDING MORE PART TIMERS BECAUSE WE HAVE
A BUNCH OF PART TIMERS WHO HAVE DEGREES AND WANT TO BE FULL TIME, BUT WE'RE REALLY WORRIED ABOUT STAFFING THE NUMBER OF DEATHS WHEN WE GO BACK. 
          SO AND I HAD I ASKED EVERY DEPARTMENT AND THEY ALL SAID PART TIMERS. 
          SO IT GIVES US FLEXIBILITY TO DO WHAT WE DO. THEY CAN BE IN A PROGRAM,
THEY CAN BE ON A DESK, THEY CAN BE AT OUTREACH. SO AND THEY'RE MORE FLEXIBLE. 
          TIME FLEXIBILITY HAS GOT TO BE A BIG PART OF IT TOO. 
          YEAH. WHEN WILL THOSE OPEN? JULY. SO. AND THEN LIKE DIANE TALKED ABOUT IT A LITTLE BIT. 
          WE ARE CROSS TRAINING ACROSS THE DEPARTMENTS. 
          WE STARTED OFF WITH CIRCULATION AND ADULT SERVICES,
SWAPPING AND WORKING AT EACH OTHER'S DESKS BECAUSE THEY WILL WORK THE WELCOME DESK TOGETHER. CHILDREN'S IS GOING TO HAVE THE LAPTOP KIOSK ON THEIR FLOOR. 
          SO THEY'RE NOW TRAINING TO DO ALL THE LAPTOPS AND RELEASING PRINT JOBS AND WHICH THEY'VE
NEVER REALLY HAD TO DO OR THEY HAVEN'T IN MANY YEARS BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE PRINTERS NOT THERE. IT'S OVER HERE. SO THEY'RE LEARNING THAT PAGES ARE HELPING IN PROGRAMS. THEY'RE LEARNING THE BACK CIRC AREA, WHICH MEANS HAVING TO BE ABLE TO LOG IN TO OUR
CATALOGING SOFTWARE. 
          SO THAT'S A CHANGE FOR SOME OF THEM. AND WE HAVE 80 YEAR OLDS,
SO THEY'RE ALL EXCITED ABOUT DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT. 
          WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO LOVE BEING ON OUTREACH, PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BE IN A PROGRAM. 
          WE THOUGHT THEY'D ALL BE RESISTANT, BUT FOR THE MOST PART,
THEY'RE THEY'RE KIND OF EXCITED TO DO SOMETHING NEW. 
          SO PROGRAM UPDATES. SOME OF THE STATISTICS WE HAD 2587 CHILDREN ATTEND STORYTIME FROM JANUARY THROUGH APRIL. I GUESS I DIDN'T,
I WAS GOING TO GO HOME AND DO THE WISE PROGRAM STATS AND I DIDN'T WE HAD 1000 ADULTS ATTEND AN ADULT PROGRAM. 
          [01:25:06]
WE HAD 2700 ATTEND OUTREACH. OUR BIGGEST WAS THE LUNAR NEW YEAR. 
          WE HAD ALMOST A THOUSAND PEOPLE COME BY THE VAN AND CHECK OUT THE GAMES THAT WE HAD OUT. 
          WE DID THE BUNNY TALE TRAIL HAD ABOUT 300. AND THEN THE HEIGHTS BIKES AND KITES WAS THIS
PAST WEEKEND, I THINK, OR WAS THE WEEKEND BEFORE HAD 258 PEOPLE. 
          AND THEN LIKE I SAID THE CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT IS HEADING TO THE SCHOOLS IN MAY. 
          WE ALWAYS SHUT DOWN STORYTIME IN APRIL AND START VISITING THE SCHOOLS TO SAY,
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH SUMMER PROGRAMING AND SUMMER READING CLUB? SO TO GET THEM ENGAGED AND WANT TO COME AND I THINK,
DO WE HAVE A WE HAD A TOUR COME THROUGH. 
          THE SCHOOL ACTUALLY CAME AND APPARENTLY THE KIDS GOT HOME THAT DAY FROM DOING THE TOUR AND
SEEING EVERYTHING BECAUSE THEY HAD ACTIVITIES AROUND, AND THE MOM BROUGHT THEM BACK IN THE AFTERNOON TO GET A LIBRARY CARD BECAUSE THEY WENT
HOME TALKING ABOUT THE LIBRARY. 
          SO THAT'S HOW IT USED TO BE. THEY WOULD ALWAYS,
YOU KNOW, YOU CAME THIS MORNING TO TALK ABOUT THIS BOOK AND I REALLY WANT THIS BOOK AND IT WAS ALREADY CHECKED OUT. BUT SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING THAT BACK AND HAVING
PEOPLE COME TO THE OTHER BUILDING. 
          LOOKING AHEAD AT PROGRAMS FOR THE SUMMER WE HAVE SUMMER READING CLUB FOR BOTH ADULTS AND
CHILDREN'S. 
          THE ADULT ONE STARTS WITH A KICKOFF PARTY ON MAY 30TH,

          AND THERE'S ALWAYS AN ASPECT OF THAT WITH THE SCHOOLS.

HIGH KIDS FOR THAT VERSUS DOING IT FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. 
          THE LECTURE IS AT THE FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH OF RICHARDSON ON SEPTEMBER 15TH.

          OKAY. AND THEN INFORMATION ON THE MOVE. WE YOU HAD ASKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE. 
          SORRY. WE HAVE HIRED LIBRARY INTERIORS OF TEXAS TO MOVE OUR LIBRARY BOOKS. 
          THEY'RE ONLY MOVING THE BOOKS, THE STUFF IN OUR OFFICES. 
          THEY'LL BRING US BOXES, WE'LL BOX EVERYTHING UP,
AND THEN THE WORK ROOMS TOO. 
          AND THEN THEY'RE JUST GOING TO COME WITH THE BOOK CARTS AND LOAD ALL THE BOOKS UP AND MOVE
THEM BETWEEN. 
          WE'RE NO LONGER WE'RE LEAVING THE FURNITURE BEHIND. 
          SO WE'RE GETTING ALL NEW FURNITURE AT THE BUILDING. 
          LIKE I SAID, THE SHELVING IS GOING IN FIRST STARTING NEXT WEEK,
SO THEY'LL JUST BE TAKING BOOKS OFF SHELVES HERE AND PUTTING THEM ON OVER THERE. 
          THEY ARE EXPERTS. THEY TELL US HOW MANY BOOKS TO PUT ON EVERY SHELF,
AND THEY'RE LOOKING AT THE COLLECTION. 
          THEY KNOW WHAT'S CHECKED OUT, SO THEY LEAVE SPACE FOR WHEN THOSE THINGS COME BACK IN. 
          SO. WOW. AND THEN THAT'S INCREDIBLE. HE THE GUY JONATHAN IS SO GOOD. 
          AMAZING. HE GOT OVER HERE AND HE'S LIKE, YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SHELVES. 
          SO WE HAD TO GO BACK AND PICK UP MORE TO PUT ALONG THE WALLS HERE TO MAKE SURE WE HAD
ENOUGH SPACE. 
          BUT SO WE KNOW WE'RE IN GOOD HANDS IN TERMS OF MOVING THE BOOKS. 
          TECH LOGIC IS CURRENTLY SCHEDULED TO ARRIVE AT THE END OF AUGUST TO INSTALL THE NEW
SORTER. 
          THE SECURITY GATES, THE SELF-CHECK KIOSKS AND THE LOCKERS,
THOSE WILL ALL BE NEW. 
          AND THEN THE LAPTOP KIOSK THAT WE HAVE OUT HERE IS AT THE END OF ITS LIFE,
WE'RE ACTUALLY WE'VE ORDERED THE NEW ONE AND IT'S GOING TO ARRIVE IN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO. 
          AND IT'S WE'RE DOWNSIZING. WE'VE LEARNED RIGHT AFTER WE GOT IT THAT ADULTS DON'T LIKE
LAPTOPS BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE BIG SCREENS OR OLDER ADULTS DON'T LIKE THEM 
          [01:35:09]
AND THEY LIKE KEYBOARDS AND THEY LIKE MICE. SO WHAT WE'VE DONE IS TIED DOWN OUR LAPTOPS TO
TWO MONITORS HERE WITH MICE AND KEYBOARDS. 
          OKAY. AND SO WHEN WE GO BACK, WE'RE GOING TO ONLY HAVE ONE KIOSK THAT THIS ONE HAS TWO
PIECES, SO THERE'LL ONLY BE ONE WITH ABOUT 12 LAPTOPS IN IT FOR THE SECOND FLOOR TEENS AND UPPER
ELEMENTARY KIDS WHO MIGHT NEED A COMPUTER. 
          AND THEN THE ADULTS ON THE THIRD FLOOR WILL HAVE LIKE THIN CLIENT DESKTOPS WITH BIGGER
MONITORS. 
          SO HOPEFULLY THEY'LL BE HAPPY WITH THAT. NOBODY EVER REALLY WANTED TO ROAM AROUND AND SIT
WHEREVER THEY WANTED, SO THEY WERE HAPPY TO SIT HERE. SO AND BUT LIKE I SAID,
IT'S, IT'S ON ITS WAY. 
          AND THEN THE PUBLIC ART, BOTH THE INTERIOR AND THE EXTERIOR WILL BE INSTALLED THIS SUMMER. 
          NO FIRM DATES ON THAT YET. WHAT'S GOING ON CALENDAR WISE? WILDFLOWER IS THIS WEEKEND. VARINA WAS TALKING ABOUT IT AT THE BEGINNING. 
          WE ARE IN CHARGE OF THE GROVE, WHICH IS THE MURAL AND THE SILENT DISCO. 
          SO IF YOU COME BY, YOU WILL SEE LIBRARY STAFF AT THE MURAL AND AT THE THE DISCO AT NIGHT. 
          THE DISCO IS JUST RUNNING AT NIGHT, SO IT SHOULD BE INTERESTING. 
          IT'S A SILENT DISCO, RIGHT? YEAH. SO YOU GET A HEADSET AS YOU WALK INTO THE AREA AND
THERE'S 3 OR 5 CHANNELS OR WHATEVER, AND THERE'S A DJ PICKING WHAT'S PLAYING. AND DEPENDING ON THE COLOR THAT THEY LIGHT UP,
IT'S AT NIGHT. 
          SO YOU CAN SEE THE LIGHT UP HEADPHONES, SO YOU CAN SEE WHO'S DANCING TO THE SAME MUSIC AS
YOU ARE. 
          WHERE ARE THEY PUTTING IT? BECAUSE WE ARE RIGHT BY THE VOLUNTEER GATE. 
          RIGHT AS YOU WALK IN BY THE VOLUNTEER GARAGE IS WHERE THE DISCO IS,
AND THEN THE MURALS A LITTLE FURTHER OVER. 
          SO WE'RE TRYING TO DO THAT FOR A LONG TIME. I KNOW,
ME TOO. 
          THAT'S GOING TO BE FUN PART ABOUT IT FOREVER. 
          WE ARE CLOSED MEMORIAL DAY AND THEN WE'RE CLOSED FOR THE 4TH OF JULY. 
          WE'RE OPEN THE THIRD. SO A NORMAL HOURS CLOSURE FOR THE MOVE IS MID-AUGUST. 
          WHEN WE SPOKE TO COUNCIL BACK IN, I THINK IT WAS FEBRUARY. 
          JANUARY. WE TOLD THEM WE WOULD CLOSE AND START THE MOVE WHEN SCHOOL WENT BACK. 
          SO SCHOOL STARTS AUGUST 12TH, SO SOMEWHERE IN PROBABLY WITHIN A WEEK OR SO OF THAT. 
          AND THEN WE'RE LOOKING TO REOPEN LATE SEPTEMBER,
EARLY OCTOBER. 
          SO WE'RE GOING TO AVOID RICHARDSON READS ONE BOOK A WEEK,
WHICH IS THE 15TH AND THE 16TH. 
          SO SINCE MANY OF US HELP WITH THAT PROGRAM. BUT ANY QUESTIONS? NO, I THINK THAT WAS AMAZING. OKAY. OKAY. SO I GOT A TEN AFTER EIGHT. 
          YEAH, I KNOW. I JUST GOT TEN AFTER EIGHT. KIND OF AGENDA SEVEN,
CITY COUNCIL LIAISON UPDATE. 
          YEAH. SO I'LL MAKE THIS QUICK. ONE. I APOLOGIZE FOR MISSING FEBRUARY'S MEETING. 
          THAT SOMEHOW WASN'T ON MY CALENDAR AND I HAD BOOKED SOMETHING ELSE THAT DAY. 
          SO UNFORTUNATELY I COULD NOT MAKE THAT. SO I APOLOGIZE FOR MISSING THAT. 
          I THINK THAT WAS THE ONLY ONE I HAVE MISSED. THIS WEEKEND. 
          WILDFLOWER HAS BEEN MENTIONED MULTIPLE TIMES,
SO HOPE TO SEE SOME OF Y'ALL OUT THERE. 
          THERE'S SOME GOOD BANDS. I'M EXCITED. PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT FRIDAY NIGHT. 
          SO CITY COUNCIL, A COUPLE OF THINGS. WE'RE WORKING ON A UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE. 
          WE'RE DISCUSSING HOW WE'RE GOING TO APPROACH THAT THIS THIS MONDAY TO A LOT OF CITIES HAVE
KIND OF STREAMLINED THEIR VARIOUS CODES TO MAKE IT MORE USER FRIENDLY. 
          RICHARDSON'S BEEN A LITTLE BEHIND ON THAT. SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE,
WE'RE DISCUSSING ON MONDAY. 
          THAT'S HOW WE'RE GOING TO APPROACH BUILDING THINGS OUT FOR RESIDENTIAL OR COMMERCIAL. 
          OBVIOUSLY IT'S WHERE AS WE GO INTO THE SUMMER,
IT'S BUDGET SEASON. 
          WE'RE SCHEDULED TO VOTE FINAL BUDGET ON SEPTEMBER 14TH,
I BELIEVE IT IS. 
          AND SO WE'RE GOING TO BE DEEP DIVING INTO THE BUDGET OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS. 
          AS WAS MENTIONED EARLIER, IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE A PRETTY TIGHT ONE. 
          IF YOU'RE A FAN OF ANY PARTICULAR PROGRAM OR DEPARTMENT,
I ASK THAT YOU STAY ENGAGED AND KEEP YOUR EARS AND EYES OPEN TO WHAT COUNCIL MAY BE DISCUSSING SO THAT YOU CAN LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD. 
          AS THE COUNCIL SEES THESE AND STARTS MAKING DECISIONS ABOUT WHO'S GETTING WHAT AND HOW WE
WILL DEAL WITH POSSIBLE SHORTFALLS AND VARIOUS OTHER CHALLENGES WHEN BUILDING A CITY BUDGET. 
          RECENTLY, AS YOU ALL KNOW, BONDS AND AMENDMENTS,
THERE WAS A ELECTION AROUND BONDS AND AMENDMENTS. 
          [01:40:06]
ALL THOSE WERE PASSED. AND IN RELATION TO THAT,
AS YOU ALL KNOW, A LITTLE MOMENT OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE HERE. 
          AS YOU ALL MOST OF YOU HAVE PROBABLY HEARD, THERE WAS IN MY OWN PERSONAL LIFE,
THERE WERE SOME ANNOUNCEMENTS MADE LAST DECEMBER. 
          AND BECAUSE OF THAT, AT SOME POINT PRIOR TO NOVEMBER,
I WILL BE LEAVING THE CITY COUNCIL TO FOCUS ON MY CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN. OH, WOW. OKAY. AND SO BEING THAT WE HAVE ONE MORE MEETING PRIOR TO THAT ALTHOUGH
NO ANNOUNCEMENT HAS BEEN MADE ABOUT ME LEAVING THE CITY COUNCIL AT THIS POINT,
I THINK IT'S FAIR TO SAY THAT NEXT AUGUST WILL BE MY LAST MEETING WITH YOU GUYS. 
          SO. OKAY. AND AT SOME POINT OVER THE SUMMER,
I THINK THE PUBLIC WILL BE, YOU KNOW, ONCE I MAKE A FINAL DECISION AND AN ANNOUNCEMENT A FINAL DATE WILL BE ANNOUNCED OF SOME SORT OF WHEN I'LL BE STEPPING DOWN FROM THE CITY
COUNCIL TO FOCUS ON THAT CAMPAIGN. 
          SO THAT'S KIND OF IT, Y'ALL. THE BUDGET IS IS A IT'S GOING TO BE TOUGH THIS YEAR. 
          SO PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THAT I AND OTHER MEMBERS AND OUR MAYOR AND
OUR CITY LEADERSHIP CONTINUE TO HEAR YOUR SUPPORT OF THE DEPARTMENTS AND PROGRAMS THAT YOU SEE ARE VERY IMPORTANT PART OF OUR CITY. BECAUSE CITIES ARE HAVING TO MAKE SOME REALLY
TOUGH DECISIONS. 
          AND ALTHOUGH WE HAVE NOT BEEN PRESENTED WHAT OUR OPTIONS ARE,
I SUSPECT THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S GOING TO BE PEOPLE I DON'T UPSET ABOUT SOME OF THOSE DECISIONS WHEN WE ARE, WHEN WE DO LOOK AT OUR OPTIONS,
JUST BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE A TIGHT BUDGET YEAR. AND WE ALWAYS SAY IT'S A TIGHT BUDGET YEAR, BUT WE'VE BEEN GETTING FOREWARNED. THAT'S GOING TO BE A REALLY,
REALLY TIGHT YEAR. 
          SO THAT IS THAT'S THE REALITY OF WHERE WE'RE AT FINANCIALLY AS A CITY. 
          AND NOT JUST US, BUT COMMUNITIES ALL OVER TEXAS. 
          DUE TO SOME OF THE LEGISLATION PASSED BY THE STATE LEGISLATURE,
THE LAST TWO STATE LEGISLATURES. 
          LEGISLATIVE SESSIONS. THAT IS ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INVOLVEMENT AND YOUR
ENGAGEMENT. 
          BUT AS PRIVATE RESIDENTS FOR SURE CONTINUE TO WATCH WHAT ELSE WE DO AS A CITY. 
          WELL THANK YOU DAN. THANK YOU. SO WE HAVE THE NEXT MEETING TIME SET. 
          IT'S AUGUST. IT'S THE SECOND WEDNESDAY IN AUGUST. 
          SECOND WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 12TH. 
          SO OUR NEXT MEETING, QUARTERLY MEETING AUGUST 12TH. 
          SINCE WE HAVE QUARTERLY MEETINGS, OUR MEETING TIME IS A LITTLE BIT LONGER,
SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE. YOUR PARTICIPATION IS VERY APPRECIATED. 
          SO WITH ANY FURTHER BUSINESS. OKAY. WITH NO FURTHER BUSINESS,
THIS MEETING IS ADJOURNED AT 813. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
