[5. Receive and discuss the Library Manager's monthly report.]

BOARD MEMBERS IN YOUR PACKET, YOU'LL FIND THE MONTHLY REPORT FOR JUNE 2023.

WE BEGAN OUR SUMMER READING PROGRAM ON SATURDAY, JUNE 3RD.

IT LASTS UNTIL THE END OF JULY AND IT HAS BEEN A BUSY SUMMER FOR US.

WE ARE ON TRACK TO EXCEED OUR RECORD NUMBER OF CHECKOUTS FOR THE YEAR.

ONCE AGAIN, IF YOU'LL RECALL LAST YEAR WE BROKE THAT OUR PREVIOUS RECORD BY QUITE A LOT.

[00:05:04]

OUR CHECKOUT NUMBERS ARE ALL VERY, VERY HIGH.

THERE'S ONLY A COUPLE AREAS THAT WENT DOWN.

ONE OF THEM BEING DVDS, WHICH WE'VE DISCUSSED, IS ONE OF THE AREAS THAT IS DECLINING JUST UNIVERSALLY IN PUBLIC LIBRARIES.

UM. LOOKING DOWN ON THE NEXT SECTION.

3D PRINTING REQUESTS AGAIN CONTINUE TO BE EXTRAORDINARILY HIGH, WITH 632 ITEMS PRINTED IN THE MONTH OF JUNE.

UM, WE HAD A HIGHER NUMBER OF PROGRAMS, BUT YOU WILL NOTICE THERE'S A SLIGHTLY LOWER PROGRAM ATTENDANCE THIS YEAR THAN LAST YEAR.

EXPLANATION FOR THAT.

WE HAD OUR SUMMER READING KICKOFF PARTY ON JUNE THE 3RD, BUT IT WAS ALSO THE SAME DAY AS THE RESCHEDULED OPENING FOR JK SACHSE PARK, AND THERE WAS A VERY LARGE TURNOUT FOR THAT EVENT. AND SO IT WAS ALMOST ALMOST THE SAME TIME AS WELL.

AND SO THE ATTENDANCE WAS SPLIT FROM THAT A LITTLE BIT.

I BELIEVE WE STILL HAD 650 PEOPLE COME OUT FOR OUR EVENT, WHICH IS A VERY GOOD NUMBER.

BUT LAST YEAR WE HAD AN EXCEPTIONAL NUMBER OF ABOUT I THINK 11 OR 1,200 PEOPLE THAT CAME OUT LAST YEAR FOR OURS.

SO THAT EXPLAINS, I THINK SOME OF IT BECAUSE OUR SPECIAL EVENTS LIKE OUR LOOKING THROUGH THEIR THE ALL ABOUT ANIMALS 315 PEOPLE, GARLAND SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA 105 IN THE INDOOR BUBBLE SHOW 351.

THOSE CONTINUE TO BE EXCEPTIONALLY WELL ATTENDED AS WELL THIS YEAR.

THOSE ARE NUMBERS THAT ARE ABOVE AVERAGE FOR WHAT WE SAW, EVEN PRE COVID FOR GATHERING INSIDE THE LIBRARY IN LARGE NUMBERS.

SO THESE ARE THESE ARE GREAT, GREAT ATTENDANCE NUMBERS FOR OUR OUR WEEKLY SPECIAL EVENTS.

WE'VE EVEN CONTINUED TO SEE REALLY GOOD ATTENDANCE AT OUR MOVIES.

THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT LIKE OUR MOVIE DAYS AT THE LIBRARY IN THE MEETING ROOM USED TO NOT BE ONE OF OUR MOST WELL ATTENDED PROGRAMS. THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW YEARS WHERE WE'D SHOW A NEW RELEASE MOVIE AND WE MIGHT HAVE A DOZEN PEOPLE, BUT WE'VE HAD A DEMAND FOR THOSE.

PEOPLE HAVE ASKED FOR US TO BRING THOSE BACK.

AND THIS YEAR WE'RE SEEING CONSISTENTLY ABOUT 30 PEOPLE COMING OUT FOR EACH OF THESE.

AND THAT'S A GOOD NUMBER FOR A MEETING ROOM OUR SIZE TO FOR PEOPLE TO WATCH A MOVIE AND EAT SOME POPCORN, THAT SORT OF THING SO.

BUT IF THERE ARE ANY ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THOSE.

I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION REGARDING YOUR 3D PRINTER REQUEST.

YEAH, AND I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS AN APPROPRIATE QUESTION TO ASK OR IF WE SHOULD WAIT UNTIL WE LOOK AT THE LONG RANGE PLAN, BECAUSE I'M SHOWING THAT THESE NUMBERS ARE EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH AND I AM AWARE THAT WE ONLY HAVE ONE 3D PRINTER CURRENTLY AND TO ENSURE THAT ALL SACHIONS CAN, YOU KNOW, USE THESE SERVICES.

DID YOU PUT IN THE LONG TERM PLAN AN ADDITIONAL 3D PRINTER OR A RESIN PRINTER? SO I DON'T I DON'T REMEMBER IF THE IF THERE'S WORDING FOR A SECOND 3D PRINTER IN THE LONG RANGE PLAN.

THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE ASKED FOR IN OUR BUDGET FOR THE NEXT YEAR THAT WE ARE REQUESTING SOME A COUPLE OF NEW 3D PRINTERS BECAUSE THE USAGE HAS BEEN SO HIGH AND THEY ONLY REALLY LAST A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME TO WEAR OUT EVENTUALLY.

AND SO WE'RE KIND OF PUSHING UP AGAINST THAT AS WELL.

JUST A MOMENT. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT SPECIFIC NUMBER OF 3D PRINTERS WAS MENTIONED.

UNDER THE LAST SECTION, TECHNOLOGY 3D PRINTING SERVICES IS MENTIONED THERE.

OKAY. ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT WE STAY, THAT WE REPLACE AND UPGRADE ITEMS AS NEEDED, WHICH IS SORT OF WHAT WE ARE REQUESTING TO DO THIS YEAR BY REQUESTING SOME ADDITIONAL 3D PRINTERS, BECAUSE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I SEE HERE IS THAT THE REQUEST WAS $3,094 AND THAT'S A GREAT DEAL OF A REQUEST FOR ONLY ONE.

WELL, THAT WAS FOR A YEAR TO DATE.

THAT'S A YEAR TO DATE. OKAY.

THE NUMBER FOR JUNE WAS $632.

OKAY. THERE WE GO.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION.

NO PROBLEM. ALL RIGHT.

PERFECT. THAT CONCLUDES MY QUESTIONING.

THANK YOU. DANIEL, WHAT'S THE MAXIMUM CAPACITY FOR FIRE CODE IN THE ROOM WHERE YOU HOST THE MOVIES OR ANY EVENTS? YES, SO THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION BECAUSE WE ACTUALLY HAD A VERY SIMILAR QUESTION WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT WHAT WE COULD DO LAST YEAR FOR THE SUMMER READING PROGRAM IN THE MEETING ROOM, HOW MANY PEOPLE WE COULD HAVE.

WE HAD BEEN WHEN WE WOULD RESERVE THE ROOM FOR PEOPLE THAT WERE RENTING IT OUT, WE WOULD SAY 50 PEOPLE IS REALLY THE MAXIMUM CAPACITY BECAUSE WITH TABLES AND CHAIRS, THAT'S REALLY ABOUT ALL YOU CAN FIT COMFORTABLY IN THERE.

AND THAT USED TO BE THE MAXIMUM CAPACITY IN THE ROOM BY FIRE CODE.

BUT SINCE THEN THEY HAVE ADDED A SECOND EMERGENCY EXIT DOOR IN THAT ROOM.

SO NOW THERE ARE TWO EXITS PLUS ONE THAT GOES INTO THE LIBRARY.

AND WHEN FIRE MARSHAL CAME OUT, IT WAS A VERY LARGE NUMBER OF LIKE 200 PEOPLE THAT WE I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW YOU'D FIT 200 PEOPLE IN THE ROOM.

[00:10:04]

BUT BY FIRE CODE, IT'S A MUCH HIGHER NUMBER THAN THAT BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING LIKE ONE PERSON PER SQUARE FOOT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

AND IT'S JUST IT'S JUST WAY TOO MUCH, IN MY OPINION, FOR US TO HAVE A PROGRAM, YOU KNOW, KIDS SEATED ON TOP OF EACH OTHER AND ALL THAT WOULDN'T WORK.

BUT BUT YEAH.

VERY HIGH NUMBER. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. I'M GLAD THEY ADDED THAT EXTRA DOOR.

THAT'S FOR SURE. ABSOLUTELY.

ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YES. ONE MORE QUESTION.

WHEN DOES THE NEW FISCAL YEAR BEGIN? OCTOBER 1ST.

I THINK THERE ARE NO MORE QUESTIONS.

MOVING ON TO CONSIDERING THE LONG RANGE PLAN FOR THE LIBRARY.

[6. Consider approval of a new Long-Range Plan for the Library]

AND JUST AS A REMINDER TO THE BOARD, WE ARE REQUIRED BY THE TEXAS STATE LIBRARY AND ARCHIVES COMMISSION TO HAVE A LONG RANGE PLAN APPROVED BY THE BOARD AT LEAST EVERY FIVE YEARS IN ORDER FOR US TO RETAIN OUR ACCREDITATION BY THE TEXAS STATE LIBRARY.

AND THAT'S A REQUIREMENT FOR LOTS OF THINGS, INCLUDING RECEIVING FEDERAL FUNDS, INCLUDING APPLYING FOR FEDERAL GRANTS, WHICH WE DO.

AND SO THIS LONG RANGE PLAN WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON IN STAGES OVER THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF OR SO.

AND LAST MONTH I PRESENTED A COMPLETE DRAFT THAT WE MADE A COUPLE OF ADDITIONS TO.

I HAVE INCLUDED ALL OF THOSE EDITS IN THE CURRENT DRAFT SPECIFICALLY, LET'S SEE, THERE WAS.

YOU'RE GOING TO LOCATE THEM HERE.

I SHOULD HAVE MARKED THEM HERE IN ADVANCE.

ONE OF THEM WAS THE LIT LOOP KITS AND THAT I BELIEVE WE PUT UNDER.

WELL, INTERLIBRARY LOAN WAS ONE.

I'M LOOKING AT THAT RIGHT NOW UNDER COLLECTIONS TO ANALYZE REPORTS AND CIRCULATION STATISTICS TO IDENTIFY AREAS OF HIGH INTEREST WITHIN THE COLLECTION AND TAKE PATRON REQUESTS INTO ACCOUNT WHEN SELECTING MATERIALS.

BECAUSE THAT WAS ANOTHER QUESTION WAS HOW DO WE MAKE SELECTIONS FOR THE LIBRARY? AND THE SHORT ANSWER TO THAT IS WE FOLLOW OUR COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT POLICY.

BUT WE DO WE'LL CONTINUE TO TAKE REQUESTS OF OUR PATRONS IN ADVISEMENT WHEN REQUESTING MATERIALS.

AND IN ADDITION, UNDERNEATH THAT, UTILIZING INTERLIBRARY LOAN SERVICES TO OBTAIN REQUESTED MATERIALS THAT MIGHT NOT OTHERWISE BE AVAILABLE OR SELECTED FOR PURCHASE BY THE LIBRARY. SO WE INCLUDED THAT IN THERE.

LET'S SEE, [INAUDIBLE] KITS ARE UNDER TEEN PROGRAMING.

OKAY, I MISSED THE BULLET.

AND THE SECOND BULLET ABOUT INCREASING TO 18 KITS.

YES, THERE IS SO UNDER THAT, IT'S LIKE AT THE TOP OF NEAR THE TOP OF ONE OF THE PAGES WHERE IT SAYS KEEPING UP WITH CURRENT TRENDS TO KEEP TEENS ENGAGED WITH NEW AND INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS. THAT FIRST BULLET POINT IS TO INCREASE PARTICIPATION AND CIRCULATION OF KITS FOR TEENS TO 18 KITS PER MONTH BY FISCAL YEAR 2025.

AND THAT SORT OF WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO SCALE IT UP QUITE A BIT TO DO THIS BECAUSE IT TAKES A BIT OF EFFORT TO PUT THOSE KITS TOGETHER AND A BIT TIME.

WE CERTAINLY HAVE THE INTEREST BY OUR TEENS.

WE JUST ROLLED OVER INTO THE NEW MONTH A FEW DAYS AGO AND WE HAVE BEEN PUTTING TOGETHER KITS FOR THE PAST WEEK AND IT'S REALLY FUN TO I THINK MY STAFF REALLY ENJOY PUTTING TOGETHER THESE THINGS FOR OUR TEENS TO KIND OF KEEP THEM EXCITED ABOUT READING AND FIGURING OUT NEW BOOKS FOR THEM TO READ.

WE'LL LOOK AT WHAT IF THEY IF THEY ARE A REPEAT REQUESTER FOR WHAT HAVE WE GIVEN THEM IN THE PAST AND WHAT CAN WE HOW CAN WE KIND OF EXPAND ON THAT THIS NEXT MONTH WITH WHAT THEY'RE REQUESTING? IT'S A REALLY COOL THING.

I THINK MY STAFF REALLY ENJOYED JUST THE THE PUTTING THE ITEMS TOGETHER FOR THESE KIDS.

SO BUT WE HAVE INCLUDED THOSE REQUESTED AREAS WITHIN THE LONG RANGE PLAN THAT YOU HAVE HERE.

AND I THINK ALL THAT'S LEFT IS FOR THERE TO BE ANY DISCUSSION THAT REMAINS AND THEN PERHAPS A MOTION TO APPROVE THE LONG RANGE PLAN.

[00:15:04]

I THINK THE ONLY QUESTION THAT I HAVE THAT MAY NEED SOME CLARIFICATION IS REGARDING THIS FACILITIES, BECAUSE AS WE WE LOOK AT EXPANDING PROGRAMS, WE ALSO HAVE TO RECOGNIZE LIKE WE'RE LIVING ON SPACE.

SO WILL THIS MEAN THAT THE FACILITY THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE AT THE PUBLIC LIBRARY, WILL THAT EXPAND WITH ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS? OR ARE WE TALKING ABOUT ALSO ADDING A SECOND LIBRARY? SO THERE HASN'T REALLY BEEN A DECISION MADE ON WHAT THE NEXT STEP FOR THE LIBRARY WOULD BE IN REGARDS TO SPACE.

OUR CURRENT FOOTPRINT ISN'T ADEQUATE FOR WHAT WE FOR WHERE WE WILL BE VERY SOON AT BUILD OUT, ESPECIALLY WITH THE NEW DEVELOPMENTS AT THE STATION AND OTHER PLACES AROUND TOWN.

WE DON'T HAVE THE SPACE TO ACCOMMODATE THE PATRONS THAT WE'LL BE EXPERIENCING AS WELL AS JUST THE COLLECTION SIZE THAT WE'LL NEED.

AND SO THE ITEM THERE UNDER FACILITIES EVALUATING OUR LONG TERM SPACE NEEDS AND PLANNING ACCORDINGLY.

IT COULD BE ANYTHING FROM A RENOVATION AND EXPANSION, A NEW BUILDING, A SECOND BUILDING, WHICH WOULD THE CITY OUR SIZE.

I DON'T THINK THAT WOULD BE THE WAY WE WOULD GO.

WE WOULD PROBABLY BE ONE OF THE OTHER OPTIONS.

BUT A BUILDING NEEDS ASSESSMENT WHICH IS MENTIONED IN THAT ONE OF THOSE BULLET POINTS THERE IS THE FIRST STEP THERE TO SEE WHAT ARE OUR OPTIONS, WHAT WOULD THAT COST AND WHICH WOULD BE THE BEST FOR MEETING OUR NEEDS.

PERFECT. THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION FROM THE BOARD? IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE SOMEONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT HAS A QUESTION.

YES, MARTY, COME ON UP.

I DIDN'T SEE ANY.

I ALMOST MISSED YOU OVER THERE. I DIDN'T SEE MATTHEW HOBO AT 511 OAK RIDGE.

CIRCLE UP THE HILL.

MY QUESTION WAS KIND OF THE SAME AS HERS ABOUT THE THE SPACE.

I DO BELIEVE YOU MENTIONED IN THERE THAT YOU KIND OF KICKED THE CAN DOWN TILL 2027.

IS THAT IS THAT WHAT IT SAYS IN THERE? 2027 WOULD BE OKAY.

SO THE LONG RANGE PLAN ON THE FRONT COVER LISTS.

NO. YEAH. BUT WITHIN THE BULLET POINT, IT SAID THAT YOU WOULDN'T COME OUT UNTIL WITH YOUR SPACE REPORT UNTIL 2027.

LET ME TAKE A LOOK. I THINK IT SAYS COMPLETE A BUILDING NEEDS ASSESSMENT.

OR WHATEVER YOU CALL IT.

YEAH. OKAY. AND THEN IT SAYS ON ONE OF THE BULLETINS, IT SAYS, IF APPROPRIATE, RESEARCH FUNDING OPERATIONS FOR A NEW LIBRARY FACILITY BY FISCAL YEAR 2028.

YEAH. AND AND THE FISCAL, THE THE THE PROCUREMENT PART I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND.

BUT 2027 TILL YOU KIND OF FIGURE OUT YOUR NEED TO ME THAT SEEMED A LITTLE LONG AND I UNDERSTAND JUST MY OPINION BECAUSE. KIND OF THE SQUEAKY WHEEL THING, AND YOU GOT TO LET PEOPLE KNOW OR COUNCIL'S GOING TO BE MAKING DISCO BALLS OUT OF ALL THE WATER TOWERS IN TOWN.

AND THERE'S BETTER NEEDS FOR THE MONEY, IN MY OPINION.

AND I WAS JUST CURIOUS ABOUT THE 2027 DATE.

COULD IT MAYBE BE 2025 OR WELL, BECAUSE I WAS JUST CURIOUS HOW THAT WAS KIND OF SET.

SURE. AND I KNOW THE MONEY MAY COME TEN YEARS AFTER.

THAT'S A DIFFERENT THING.

BUT THE NEED GETTING THE MONEY FOR IT IS A DIFFERENT CONVERSATION.

AND THAT'S ALL.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. NO PROBLEM.

AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THAT ACTUALLY.

SO THE BUILDING NEEDS ASSESSMENT ITSELF THAT IT REFERS TO COMPLETING THAT IS A LONG PROCESS AND IT ACTUALLY IS KIND OF AN EXPENSIVE PROCESS INVOLVING CONSULTANTS THAT WILL LOOK AT OUR CURRENT FACILITIES, OUR STAFFING NEEDS.

THEY'LL ANALYZE USAGE OF SERVICES AND PROGRAMS AND OUR COLLECTION IN ORDER TO COME UP WITH A NUMBER OF SQUARE FEET NEEDED THE NUMBER, THE AMENITIES NEEDED.

AND SO AND TO BE CLEAR, IT'S A 2026 FISCAL YEAR, 2026, SO THAT'D BE 2025-2026.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT LIKE AFTER THIS NEXT FISCAL YEAR WOULD BE THE NEXT ONE AFTER THAT, OUR BIG ITEM FOR THIS NEXT FISCAL YEAR THAT WE'RE REQUESTING JUST TO COUNCIL 3D PRINTING BECAUSE THAT'S GOING TO GO OUT AND THEN STAFFING TO EXPAND OUR HOURS.

AND SO THAT IS THE THING THAT WE ARE ASKING COUNCIL FOR AND REALLY HOPING THAT WE CAN ACCOMPLISH THIS YEAR WITH THE BUDGET.

AND THEN THE NEXT YEAR THE THE SPACE THE FACILITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT IS WHAT I INTEND TO MAKE THE PRIORITY FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR.

SO THAT WOULD PUT US IN THAT 25-26, WHICH IS WHEN IT SAYS TO COMPLETE IT BY THE 25-2026 FISCAL YEAR.

OKAY. THANK. OKAY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

[00:20:01]

ACCEPT. OH, I.

FORGIVE ME. I'M MOVE TO VOTE.

MOVE TO APPROVE.

MOVE TO APPROVE THE LONG RANGE PLAN.

DO WE HAVE A SECOND? WE HAVE A SECOND.

THAT WAS.

GOOD. VOTE ON THAT, PLEASE.

AND THE LONG RANGE PLAN FOR 2023 THROUGH 2027 IS ACCEPTED.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU BOARD.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK YOU'VE PUT INTO IT.

THANK YOU. IT'S CERTAINLY BEEN A LONG PROCESS.

IT'S BEEN A LONG PROCESS.

YES, IT HAS. AND I'VE BEEN HERE WITH YOU.

YES. THE WHOLE TIME.

YES, WE MADE SURE TO INCLUDE THE THE DATA DRIVEN POINTS IN THERE.

OF COURSE, THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT ARE NOT.

NO, IT'S NOT ALL DATA DRIVEN.

WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE.

AT THIS TIME WE'LL DISCUSS THE LIBRARY BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS REGARDING SPECIAL EVENTS, CURRENT ACTIVITIES AND LOCAL ACHIEVEMENTS.

[7. Discuss Library Board announcements regarding special events, current activities, and local achievements.]

SUMMER READING IS STILL GOING ON, EVERYONE, SO IT'S OPEN TO ALL AGES.

SO NOT JUST KIDS, BUT TEENAGERS AND ADULTS.

AND THERE'S PRIZES AND INCENTIVES FOR ALL AGES AS WELL.

THERE'S REALLY GREAT PRIZES THAT ARE FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY HAVE DONATED FOR US, LIKE MEMBERSHIPS TO THE AQUARIUM AND THE PEROT MUSEUM AND SOME OTHER REALLY COOL STUFF.

A LOT OF OUR TEENS HAVE BEEN TRYING TO WIN THE NINTENDO SWITCH THAT THEY'VE DONATED AS WELL.

AND SO THAT'S LIKE ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER PRIZES FOR TEENS THIS YEAR.

BUT THERE'S STILL TIME TO PARTICIPATE.

IT ENDS ON JULY 29TH WITH OUR FINALE PARTY AND ALSO ON THE 27TH, THE IN-N-OUT BURGER TRUCK WILL BE HERE ON CAMPUS STARTING AT NOON TO GIVE OUT FREE HAMBURGERS TO THE FIRST 600 PEOPLE.

THEY DO THAT EVERY YEAR FOR US, AND IT'S ALWAYS A HUGE HIT.

WE RUN OUT EVERY YEAR, SO DON'T WAIT UNTIL TWO BECAUSE IT'S ADVERTISED NOON TO TWO.

IT'S NOON UNTIL WHENEVER THEY RUN OUT REALLY.

GET THERE EARLY, GUYS.

YEAH, IT'S GOING TO BE HOT, BUT IT'S FREE FOOD.

THAT'S ALL MY. YES.

ANY OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS? YOU KNOW THE REWARDS FOR THE LIBRARY.

NOT THIS MONTH.

ANY OTHER BUSINESS? I THINK SO. GOSH, I THINK YOU HAVE IT.

ARE YOU HIRING? OH, OKAY. YEAH, SURE.

WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT FOR A MINUTE. SO WE HAD A COUPLE POSITIONS OPEN UP AND WE ARE HIRING.

NOT GREAT TIMING BEING IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER BECAUSE WE'RE BUSIER THAN WE ARE THE REST OF THE YEAR.

BUT WE DO HAVE A COUPLE OPEN POSITIONS.

ONE OF THEM HAS CLOSED AND THE OTHER ONE IS STILL CURRENTLY OPEN OR SENIOR LIBRARIAN POSITION.

THE OTHER WAS A PROGRAM SPECIALIST THAT WE WERE LOOKING TO FILL VERY, VERY SOON.

WE ACTUALLY HAVE SEVERAL INTERNAL APPLICANTS IN THE CITY THAT ARE APPLYING FOR THAT ONE, AND SO THAT WILL BE FASTER AND GET SOME HELP FOR THAT FULL TIME POSITION.

THERE WILL BE, I ANTICIPATE, ANOTHER A PART TIME POSITION OPENING UP BECAUSE OF THAT.

SO BUT YEAH, WE DO HAVE A COUPLE OPEN POSITIONS AND WE'LL HOPE TO FILL THEM.

IT WON'T BE BEFORE THE END OF THE SUMMER READING PROGRAM, BUT.

BUT YOU DO HAVE APPLICANTS.

WE DO HAVE APPLICANTS. WE HAVE PLENTY OF INTEREST IN IT.

YEAH. VERY GOOD.

THANK YOU. AND THOSE APPLICANTS CAN GO ON TO THE CITY WEBSITE AND.

YES, YES, PUT IN THERE.

SO THANK YOU.

BECAUSE I SHOULD PROBABLY PUT THAT IN THERE.

YES. IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN THESE POSITIONS, GO INTO THE CITY OF SACHSE HUMAN RESOURCES WEBSITE AND THEN FILL OUT THE APPLICATION AND SUBMIT IT, INCLUDE YOUR RESUME AND ALL OF THAT. AND IT COMES TO US AND WE'LL CONSIDER ALL THE APPLICANTS THAT COME THROUGH.

THANK YOU. YOU'RE VERY WELCOME.

THANK YOU. EVERYBODY OUT THERE.

I HAVE 7:25 SO I GUESS AT THIS POINT WE'LL ADJOURN.

[00:25:02]

THANK YOU, GUYS.
