E. Children's Records Policy. On April 8th Governor Doyle signed AB 169 relating
to the disclosure of children's library records. This law now called Act 207
takes effect on April 23rd. We are awaiting word from the Division for Libraries,
Technology and Community Learning on whether a new policy is necessary due to
this legislation. Any records relating to the use of the library's documents,
or other materials, resources or services by a child under the age of 16 must
be disclosed to a custodial parent or guardian.
F. Custodian I and II duties. Kathy Mitchell will confer with Jim Sasse on the
work he is doing in regard to hours and have him write down the time. This will
be done for a month to see how long it takes to do the work. Kathy Sasse completed
a detailed log and is doing a good job.
G. Director's Evaluation. The Director's Evaluation was tabled until the May
meeting.
Other business:
Dick Koeppen was invited to the meeting so the Board could thank him for his
years of service to the library. Kathy served delicious snacks.
The Board felt that C.P.R. classes should be offered to the library staff. We also thought having a defibulator in the library would be a good idea.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:40 p.m. on motion by Virginia Federwitz, seconded by Sandy Loberg. All present voted aye. Motion carried.
