Committee: Library Commission
Meeting Date: Nov 8, 2006
Location: Library
Name of Monitor: Margaret Johnson
Actions Taken:
• Decided to allow chatting and instant messaging on the library computers.
• Discussed the fact that there were too many scheduled Forest Park Community College classes in the auditorium. The space is free and open to the public for scheduling and the normal policy is they do not allow it to be scheduled more than a month in advance. They decided to notify the college that they will only schedule one class per week in the space next semester.
• They are replacing the entry doors to the library and will get bids the first of next year.
Other Notes:
University City Library has mutual arrangements with both the city, the county, and some other municipal libraries. The recent tracking statistics showed adult users at UCity to be 3000 from UCity, 1000 from St. Louis city, and 1000 from St. Louis County.
The tracking statistics mentioned above are for monthly use of our public access Internet computers ONLY, and the actual figures are somewhat different than reported. These figures do not relate to other uses of the library, its services, or circulation of materials.
