6:06 Discussion of what are the different types of Library Programs: hosted by library, sponsored by
library, in library space but not affiliated
Staff want to have a clear delineation of responsibilities for co-hosted events between library and other
groups
Policy needs to delineate what qualifies as a library sponsored or hosted program, vs an independent
program taking place in a rented space in the library.
We should consider whether the language in our collection policy should mirror the language in our
program policy.
Jennifer asks if we need to delineate program format - virtual vs in person vs hybrid - in the policy.
Photography should go in a different policy, maybe privacy policy. Question about whether that covers
third party programs hosted by library.
Do we need to address a process of reconsideration for programs? Would the board need to call a
special meeting to address the reconsideration before the implication of the program? Stacey asks if we
should look to the policy of other libraries for reconsidering programs.
Jennifer is going to continue working on the policy and bring it to our next meeting. We want to look at
it compared to other policies and make sure they all have continuity between them.
7:02 p.m. Adjourn
