III. Approval of Minutes: April 18, 2017 Joyce Searcy moved for approval of the minutes from the April meeting; the motion was seconded by Keith Simmons and passed unanimously. IV. Library Director Report—Kent Oliver, Library Director Mr. Oliver welcomed new Board member Katy Varney, who is a past President of the NPLF Board. The Library has been using Twitter and Instagram to support the Predators through spine label poetry; Mr. Oliver distributed some examples of these popular posts. The staff mentoring program just began with a speed mentoring event. Mr. Oliver attended a meeting of the Nashville Area Library Alliance, which is made up predominantly of about twenty academic libraries and four public libraries. The Madison community meetings regarding the renovation will take place in June. We have completed the contract with this consultant for multiple branch projects. Mr. Oliver attended ALA Legislative Day in Washington, D.C., which focused on privacy issues and reduction of funding for libraries. Locally, Congressman Cooper’s office is the most supportive of library issues. Mr. Oliver also attended the Chamber leadership retreat in Denver with about 120 people. He participated in discussions on transit and education, including grade level reading. 1|Page
V.
Mr. Oliver took part in the Mayor’s diversity and inclusion training for department heads. NPL is now up to 31% staff diversity. The Library is leading Metro departments in Opportunity Now hires, especially because of NAZA. The funding for this program is not coming from our budget. The amendment regarding state aid to libraries did not advance in the Senate Finance Committee, but is ready to be proposed as part of the Governor’s budget next year. Mr. Oliver will forward an email to the Board about a state amendment regarding public libraries. The parts applicable to us are that Board members cannot serve two consecutive terms, and that the Board is an advisory board because we are part of a larger entity (Metro Government). An updated Board roster was distributed. A draft of the Strategic Plan will be presented at the June Board meeting.
Staff Reports a. Woodland Hills Youth Development Center Presentation—Raemona Taylor/Luke Herbst Mr. Herbst has been the Teen Services Manager since October; Ms. Taylor wrote the grant which funded this project. Woodland Hills is an incarceration facility for up to 48 teens (males 14-19), with a school on premises. In 2015, they lost their librarian and asked the Library to provide some services such as book delivery, craft programs, and book discussions. Challenges to service included building trust with the teens, security protocol, logistics, and technology (there was no internet access in the facility). NPL responded by sending consistent staff, adding extra time to build trust, doing research on working with incarcerated teens, and getting tech and other support from Studio NPL. The grant was a 2015 LRNG Innovator Challenge grant titled Uncaged: How Do You Define Freedom? Connected Learning and the Juvenile Justice System. Out of 154 applications nationwide, only eleven were selected, and NPL was the only library. The $20,000 grant is funded by the National Writing Project’s Educator Innovator Initiative and the LRNG Innovation Challenge, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, and the John Legend Show Me Campaign. The grant period is April 2016 to June 2017, and library staff go to Woodland Hills twice a week. So far, 99 youth have participated in the project, 71 of whom got library cards. 73% of respondents stated they have gained necessary skills from NPL to help them succeed upon release. 90% of respondents stated they have increased their knowledge of technology after working with NPL. 90% of respondents stated they feel more connected to the library. 72% of respondents stated they feel more connected to the community after working with NPL. Next steps are to connect the teens to other library departments, continue to visit once per week, and present at conferences about the program. Ms. Hunt asked whether Woodland Hills might be able to received Limitless Libraries services; Elyse Adler will investigate. Alternative sources of funding were also discussed. b. Conference Center Update—Jena Schmid Ms. Schmid reported that the Conference Center renovation starts on June 1 and should be complete by the beginning of September. It will include updating paint and carpets, adding 2|Page
storage, creating a new Board room, and updating the kitchen and all public restrooms in the building. Dowdle Construction is overseeing the project, which will cost about $1 million. Mr. Simmons noted that NPLF also has a fund set aside for Conference Center maintenance. c. Budget Update—Kent Oliver The budget presentation to Council is May 23 at 4:30; Mr. Oliver encouraged all Board members to attend. Last year, we received $924,000 in additional funding, and $10 million in capital funding for the first phase of Donelson and the Madison and Conference Center renovations. This year, we expect to receive $325,000 in additional funding for staff and a NAZA expansion (of a $1.2 million request), and $500,000 in capital funding (which does not include the completion of Donelson nor renovations of Hadley Park and Richland Park). This will significantly impact our ability to fulfill our Master Facilities Plan. Ms. Varney noted that most departments only received a fraction of what they requested, due to the Mayor’s focus on transit. d. NPL Strategic Planning—Kent Oliver This presentation has been moved to the June Board meeting. VI. New Business a. Submission of Nashville Public Library Board Agendas and Minutes to Nashville.gov Policy—Kent Oliver Mr. Oliver explained that this is a process resolution to ensure consistency among Metro departments. Mr. Oermann moved to adopt resolution 2017-05.01; Ms. Searcy seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

Brief Area Updates – June 20, 2017 Nashville Public Library ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES REPORT Safety/Security: May 2016 Fire alarm and sprinkler systems where checked at all facilities, with the exception of the Goodlettsville branch fire alarm which is scheduled to be tested on 6/8. This completes all annual fire inspections for all fire extinguishers, alarms and sprinklers, and fire pump at Main. Protection 1 sent a list of emergency lights and fire extinguishers that were noted on their inspection report from April’s inspection. Due to the inflated quote for them to have a subcontractor make the repairs, Mike Binkley from our maintenance staff replaced or repaired the emergency lights at a fraction of the cost. We have started replacing the fire extinguishers that were listed as needing 6year service or replacement. Mark Crowder conducted 9 Safety and Security annual training classes: 8 at branches and 1 at Main for Foundation staff. Mark Crowder continues to schedule annual Safety and Security classes for each division at Main. It’ll be a refresher for current employees and also a time for new employees to see what, if any, safety issues departments may be experiencing. Required OSHA topics that are mandatory to all employees every year will be covered. About half of the branch locations have had Safety and Security classes; several more scheduled for June. Provided security for 3 after-hour events (down from 10 in April). Security team will be working late several days for the grape seed extract application/spraying that starts 6/11. Spray is more effective after dark. There were 35 Patron Incident Reports (up from 27 in April), including: Accident — 2 Suspicious Activity — Alarms — 2 Theft — Ambulance — 4 Vehicle break-in — Damage — 1

Open Projects: OVERALL Site Review: Within Jared’s first month he’s had a chance to visit all of the library sites, tour the locations and digest key deficiencies and areas for improvement. A primary focus will be the creation of a healthy PM schedule and routine. We have the tools to track and ensure that all of our equipment is being worked on both by internal staff and external contractors, but the system hasn’t ever been finalized and set in place with a process that both internal and external partners are aware of and collaborating with each other on. Jared will be implementing training for all key partners on a PM program that will be implemented within the next couple months. Bordeaux: Boiler gas valve replacement (quotes and PO being generated). Checked to see if this replacement could be included under the general services energy funds, but it couldn’t due to the location already going over the initial energy funds estimate.

GREAT news for everyone at the main library as a steadier, consistent flow of cool air should be evident. Coordination for the installation of new VFD’s and repairs to air handlers and system-wide balancing and reprograming of the buildings automated controls program.

BRANCH SERVICES REPORT Opportunity NOW Opportunity NOW, Mayor Barry’s initiative for youth employment, is in full swing and our 34 interns have completed their first week of training and are now working in their respective NPL locations. May 30 - June 2 our 2 Employment Coaches and Employment Coordinator trained our interns on work readiness material such as effective communication with a supervisor, basic expectations of employees, and more. Interns also took this time to contact their supervisors to introduce themselves and to get their work schedules.
