CROWLEY RIDGE REGIONAL LIBRARY
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
March 15, 2012
The Crowley Ridge Regional Library Board met at 5:15 p.m. on Thursday, March 15, 2012. Present for the meeting were Vice-Chairperson, Mrs. Patsy McClain, Ms. Johnita Faulkner, Mr. Hollis Kim Inboden, Mrs. Mary Norris, Mrs. Jean Pasmore, Ms. Joanne Thompson and Mr. Ralph Waddell. From the Craighead County Jonesboro Public Library staff, Ms. Phyllis Burkett, Director and Mrs. Nancy Dobbins were also present.
Mrs. McClain called the meeting to order.
Mrs. Norris made a motion to approve the minutes from the September 15, 2011 CRRL Board meeting. Mrs. Thompson seconded the motion which carried.
Financial Reports for the 2nd quarter were presented showing the distribution of State Aid and year to date expense reports. Ms. Burkett reported that she had attended the Arkansas State Library Board meeting in February and learned that there will be no increase in state aid for the upcoming fiscal year. Mr. Waddell made a motion to accept the Financial Reports for the 2nd quarter for CRRL. Mrs. Norris seconded the motion which carried.
Ms. Burkett informed the Board that when analyzing the cost for online cataloging through OCLC it was discovered that a cataloging record had to be created in order to get the emedia downloaded through OverDrive into the catalog. This caused the OCLC invoice to go up from July 1, 2011 to February 29, 2012 by $6,000. Since this is a cost connected to cataloging by CCJPL, Ms. Burkett suggested that CCJPL should be billed for $6,000 and will pay the amount for emedia cataloging on future invoices. Mrs. Pasmore made a motion to invoice Craighead County Jonesboro Public Library for the cost of cataloging emedia service from July 1, 2011 to February 29, 2012 in the amount of $6,000. Mrs. Faulkner seconded the motion which passed.
Statistics which will be used in the Annual Report which is submitted annually to the Arkansas State Library were presented to the Board for approval. The statistics consisted of circulation, people counts, patron registration and attendance at programs for each location. The materials budgets for CRRL & CCJPL were presented. The CRRL materials budget is appropriated by location according to previous year usage statistics. Staff committees have been formed to decide where to allocate funds. Mrs. Pasmore made a motion to accept the statistics to be used in submitting the Annual Report to the Arkansas State Library. Mrs. Norris seconded the motion which passed.
A discussion was held on Mrs. Valerie Riley, the Librarian from the West Poinsett County Library has been recently fitted with hearing aids. She has suffered major hearing loss due to Meniere’s Disease. Ms. Burkett stated that the Library is going to do its best to accommodate her. The community has been very patient & supportive of her.
Samples of ads to be used in a Bill Board Campaign were shown to the Board for their comments. Ms. Burkett asked Mr. Waddell for his legal opinion on using the slogan “What’s In Your Wallet?” Mr. Waddell stated that he would look into it to make sure the Library wasn’t violating a copyrighted slogan. The Board was receptive to the bill board ads.
Ms. Burkett informed the Board that the Library will have a workshop on March 29 for Library Development District II Directors and CRRL Branch Librarians on OverDrive and other emedia being offered.
The Board discussed five goals that they felt were important for the future of CRRL. Asking volunteers to deliver books to the elderly & invalid was discussed, along with increasing hours, adding new emedia products such as Ancestry and adding new programs. The members all agreed that each community has it owns needs and recognize that in order for the libraries to survive making the community aware of what the Library offers is most important. Ms. Burkett will ask Nathan Whitmire, CCJPL staff who chooses online resources to investigate the cost to add Ancestry to each branch and will survey the branch librarians to find out if they have enough people interested in genealogy to add it. If the Library offers a new emedia product, the staff need to be able to train customers how to use the new resources and have a place that people can use if it’s an interactive type product. Having the ability to offer a meeting room to the public is also something they are looking for. When they come to the Library to use a meeting room, hopefully they will find something new the Library offers while here and will return as a Library user.
Ms. Burkett asked the Board if they would be available for a group tour of the branches on Monday, March 26, 2012. The members agreed that if they are available to do so, they would meet at 9 a.m. on Monday, March 26, 2012 at CCJPL.
Ms. Thompson made a motion to adjourn. Mrs. Norris seconded the motion which carried.

Morgan spoke about the monthly branch library meetings that have happened over the past year. Notable staff development opportunities include all branch librarians being certified in CPR and several workshop days they attend or have the option of attending. The Jonesboro branch is making sure to communicate anytime there are policy updates or various problems and issues around the eight locations. Anytime someone needs a refresher on any procedure, Jonesboro makes sure to send someone out for one-on-one training. The signs at each branch are being updated so there is a more uniform look throughout all locations. There are several fun programs that will be happening this summer at each branch, including exotic animals and magic shows.
There have been several conference calls with the mobile outreach vehicle consultant and options are being narrowed down to get the RFP ready to go out.
Marolyn moved to adjourn. Jeanne seconded and the motion passed.

The Dodge Caravan is getting on in years and up in mileage. David formed a committee of three staff members who went out and test drove six different vehicles. They reported back that the Chrysler Pacifica and the Dodge Caravan were the two that made the most sense for what the library needed. Based on price, the board agreed that the Caravan was the one to pursue purchasing. David will go talk to Fletcher Dodge to see if they can honor the state bid price.
The materials appropriation of the budget needs to be reviewed so the upcoming Brookland Branch can be funded. Money from each branch’s allocation is needed for the branch in Brookland in order to stay within the budget unless Poinsett County can contribute more money that Craighead County will match.
Rick moved to adjourn. Lily seconded the motion and the motion passed.

Fletcher Dodge set us up in their Fleet program as a purchaser, but we are now waiting on the 2019 bid prices from the state before we purchase a new Dodge Caravan.
The Lepanto branch is in the process of being repaired from the raccoon problems it’s had lately. Since the building is rented we’ve had to wait on the landlord to take care of the issue. All holds that would normally be held for pick up at this branch are being rerouted to the branch Marked Tree as it’s the closest branch to Lepanto.
The Brookland branch is coming along. The city is still working on the building, but core materials are being purchased so we’re able to get it rolling as soon as the building is ready. Shelving and furniture are also in the works. We’re shooting for an opening in April or May.
Rick made a motion to adjourn. Janice seconded the motion and the motion passed.

We were given an opportunity to join the Arkansas Digital Library Consortium. If we decide to join, our e-book and e-audiobook collection would go from around 17,000 items to around 47,000 items. We would have to pay $8,000 each year to stay in, and this money goes into a general fund that the committee (made up of librarians around the state) uses to buy titles. This would allow our own budget the flexibility to purchase other titles we may not have had the money to purchase before. We will be able to lock titles down to be used for our patrons only or put our patrons on hold for these titles first. The only downside is that our brand would no longer be present when a patron logged into their Overdrive or Libby app. Instead of seeing “Crowley Ridge Regional Library,” they would now see “Arkansas Digital Library Consortium.” Mike made a motion to enter the consortium. Janice seconded the motion and the motion passed.
The bookmobile is coming along. The company building it hopes to have it completed in October.
The Brookland branch is still in progress. The floors were recently redone with epoxy, like the floor renovation completed at the Jonesboro location earlier this year. David will meet with the electrician and the furniture rep soon.
The Youth Services department has undergone some personnel changes. Carol Moore has been promoted to department manager. Sloane Simmons is the new assistant manager and Stephanie Sweeney will head up program planning.
