Friends grant process and gift policy
Heather Zeoli presented ideas for streamlining the Friends grant process.
Heather also reminded everyone that the library system itself cannot accept monetary donations directly; and clarified that gifts of materials and physical items belong to the Friends, not to individual libraries nor the system, and may not be added to collections.
The Leadership Team talked about Freedom to Learn- We treasure and protect each member’s freedom to read, view, and learn in order to achieve his/her highest potential. The Regional Directors shared feedback from the Public Services Manager’s meeting and the staff meetings. Overall this is a core value everyone believes should stay but there may be some changes in language to it.
