Library Director Report—Kent Oliver, Library Director  Andrea Fanta is working on the internal process for alerting the media regarding weatherrelated closures; staff is notified by an automated system.  Mr. Oliver mentioned the Tennessean article regarding inappropriate spending by the Election Commission, and assured the Board that the library only has seven credit cards, all of which are closely monitored by Susan Drye and Angela McElrath.  The third Adult Literacy Symposium was on Friday. The Mayor participated in this very successful event.

VI. Staff Reports a. Nashville Reads—Elyse Adler 1|Page


Ms. Adler distributed copies of The Color of Water to the Board. The author, James McBride, will be here on Monday, May 9 at 6:15 p.m. McBride is a jazz musician, so the program will include a 15-minute set by Rod McGaha’s quartet, in which we hope McBride will participate. There will be about 75 Nashville Reads event throughout the city in March and April. Copies of the book were also given to all Metro Council members, and Ms. Adler will make a short presentation about Nashville Reads at the March 1 Council meeting. Nashville Reads titles are chosen by a committee made up of all of the major partners; Laura Moore is the new representative from the Mayor’s Office. b. Nashville Public Library Foundation Update—Tari Hughes Ms. Hughes reported that the 2015 gala was the most successful ever. The public lecture was also a highlight, with Tim McGraw interviewing Jon Meacham. This year, the 4th Puppet Festival will take place June 17-19, including puppeteers from Japan, Italy, Belgium, Russia, and Argentina. NPLF has created a new Program Committee on their Board, whose goal will be to better understand the NPLF-funded programs and ensure that they are impactful, sustainable, and strategic. Each person on the committee will focus on one program, making them an expert and an advocate for that particular initiative. Next week, committee members will be meeting with the NPL staff who manage each program (Studio NPL, Bringing Books to Life, Limitless Libraries, etc.). Ms. Khansari noted that someone from the young professionals group may also want to serve on the committee. Mr. Simmons mentioned that the Library Board would also be interested in seeing library programs in action, and Mr. Oliver offered to organize visits. The Foundation has been invited by the Tennessean to enter into a strategic partnership to reach young families in Nashville. This will allow the library to gain new cardholders, the Foundation to reach new potential donors, and the Tennessean to be more visible in the community. The first collaborations will be around the Puppet Festival and Summer Challenge. VII. Old Business a. 2016 Resolution to Standardize Branch Hours—Larry Price Mr. Price presented the resolution, which is based on the analysis of branch hours and activity that was discussed at the December Board meeting. The new hours will be more standardized and easier for the public to remember. Joyce Searcy moved for approval of the resolution; the motion was seconded by Lucy Haynes and passed unanimously. Nashville Public Library Board February 2, 2016 Resolution Title: Standardization of Branch Hours History/Background/Discussion:

2|Page


At the present time, the operating hours of the branch libraries vary widely, from branch to branch and from day to day. This situation has a number of consequences for NPL. The public cannot be certain that one library will be open at the same time as another one. This creates confusion and as a result it is likely that many people do not visit the library that otherwise would. The staff currently experiences a wide variance in their work schedules. Based on usage analysis, the current operating hours of the branches likely do not reflect demand, resulting in wasted resources. Standardizing the branch hours would generate many benefits. Most importantly, library patron uncertainty regarding branch operating hours can be reduced considerably, resulting in a probable increase in usage. More efficient work schedules for staffing will be possible allowing branch managers to maximize staff resources. Many low-usage hours can be eliminated, creating a better alignment of operating hours with the needs of patrons. Finally, these benefits can be realized without the commitment of additional staffing hours: the schedule can be standardized simply be rearranging existing staff resources. Based on this information, it is recommended that branch operating hours be changed to the following schedule: 1. Bellevue, Bordeaux, Edmondson Pike, Green Hills, Hermitage, Madison, Southeast Monday – Thursday: 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM Friday: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM Saturday: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM Sunday: 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM 2. Donelson, East, Goodlettsville, Inglewood, Old Hickory, Richland Park, Thompson Lane Monday, Wednesday: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM Tuesday, Thursday: 12:00 PM – 8:00 PM Saturday: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM Friday, Sunday: Closed 3. Edgehill, Hadley Park, Looby, North, Pruitt Monday – Thursday: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM Saturday: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM Friday, Sunday: Closed 4. Watkins Park Monday – Thursday: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM Friday – Sunday: Closed Recommendation: The board approves the proposed standardization of branch hours Draftor(s): Larry Price Person(s) Responsible for Implementation: Larry Price, Susan Drye, Andrea Fanta

RESOLUTION 2016-02.01 2016 Resolution to Standardize Branch Hours WHEREAS, the existing schedule of library branch operating hours has been shown to be incongruous, inefficient, and inconvenient both for the staff and the general public, and WHEREAS, a new schedule has been devised which, if implemented, will result in a much more rational and convenient system of operation for the library branches, and WHEREAS, Nashville Public Library exists to serve the public interest, and must ever take action where possible to better serve the public of Nashville and Davidson County, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Nashville Public Library Board of Trustees that the board endorses the proposed schedule changes set forth in the following table, to become effective Monday, April 4, 2016.

VIII. New Business a. Main Library Alcohol Policy & Resolution—Susan Drye Ms. Drye explained that the alcohol policy is being removed from the overall meeting room policy and made a standalone policy for the Main Library only (not the branches). It has been vetted by Metro Legal to ensure that it adheres to local laws and regulations. Ms. 4|Page


Searcy moved for approval of the resolution; the motion was seconded by Sepi Khansari and passed unanimously.

Nashville Public Library Board February 2, 2016 Resolution Title: Stand-Alone Main Library Alcohol Policy History/Background/Discussion: At present, NPL Policy regarding the use of alcoholic beverages at the Main Library is embedded within the “Policies for Use of Library Facilities & Meeting Rooms at the Main Library” (section XIII, A–H). 5|Page


Having the Main Library Alcohol Policy separate from the “Policies for Use of Library Facilities & Meeting Rooms at the Main Library” would make it easier to locate and access by NPL staff, clearer, and easier to enforce. Another benefit to this extraction would be that the information around the use of alcohol at NPL events would be updated—from 10/20/09—to comply with current Tennessee law as well as with all of the rules and regulations of the Metro Beer Board and Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission. This includes an addition of a bullet in the policy addressing whether alcoholic beverages can be given away at events at NPL. Please note that the option to include branches in this Policy was considered but deemed unrealistic, and too cumbersome to enforce and/or monitor. Mark Murray at Metro Legal advised: “according to the Metro Code, only library branches that are not within 100 feet of ‘a school or its playground, a park, a licensed day care center or nursery school or their playgrounds, or a dwelling for one or two families.’ So any branches that may even be close to this limitation will need to be measured.” Based on the above information, it is recommended that the Main Library Alcohol Policy be separated from the “Policies for Use of Library Facilities & Meeting Rooms at the Main Library.” Recommendation: The board approves the proposed, separate Main Library Alcohol Policy Draftor(s): Susan Drye Person(s) Responsible for Implementation: Susan Drye, Jena Schmid, Georgia Varble

RESOLUTION 2016-02.02 Stand-Alone Main Library Alcohol Policy WHEREAS, new Main Library Alcohol Policy has been created, and, if implemented, will serve NPL staff and the organizations interested in serving alcoholic beverages at events at the Main Library with clarity about how and when alcohol is permitted on NPL property, and WHEREAS, Nashville Public Library has created a document where this information will be easier to locate and access, and WHEREAS, this Main Library Alcohol Policy has been updated to comply with current Tennessee law as well as with all of the rules and regulations of the Metro Beer Board and Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Nashville Public Library Board of Trustees that the extracted, stand-alone Main Library Alcohol Policy be approved, to become effective February 2, 2016.

b. Budget Update—Kent Oliver Mr. Oliver distributed a draft of the library’s budget enhancement requests. The new Mayoral administration has asked that we focus on how we can partner with both Metro departments and outside agencies to deliver services, and to think about the next three years, not just the next twelve months. In Tier 1 (FY17), we will be requesting full-year funding for 6|Page


Friday openings (since this year’s Friday openings occurred in September and January), as well as Friday hours at five other branches. We will also be requesting Special Collections and Bringing Books to Life staff currently funded by the Foundation, a staff person for the expanded Watkins Park branch, a new data analysis position, and infrastructure staff in Production Services, Security, and Public Technology. Also included is a new digital inclusion pilot: monthly fees for Hotspots which can be checked out by patrons. Tier 2 (FY18) includes staffing in Security, Children’s Services, Production Services, Communications, and Archives, as well as Friday hours for all remaining locations. Tier 3 (FY19) includes a NAZA expansion, lawn services for branches, Main Library evening hours, and staff in Children’s Services, Volunteer Services, and Limitless Libraries. Mr. Oliver noted this is a draft version and may be expanded since it is a three year plan. The consensus of the Board was that they concurred with the direction begin taken with the budget request.

c. Facilities Plan Discussion—Larry Price Mr. Price distributed a document detailing long-range branch expansion plans for the next 25 years, through 2040. It ties very closely to Nashville Next projections, which estimate a 40% population increase during that time. The goal is to ensure that 90% of the population is within three miles of library service, and that we retain the current ratio of .88 square feet of library space per person. The plan also includes timelines to renovate (every 16 years) and refresh (every 8 years) existing branch locations. The document is divided into 8-year increments to correspond with Mayoral administrations. A more detailed document will be presented at the March Board meeting.

Branch Services Report Branch Library Renovations The Edmondson Pike branch library will reopen with a ribbon cutting by Mayor Barry on Tuesday, May 10 at 10:30 a.m. New interior paint color are brightening up the branch and making it feel much more open. We are in the interior finish stages during March. Staff will return on April 4 and begin unpacking the boxes of books and materials that have been in storage since October. We are confident that the Edmondson Pike community will be as wowed by the transformation of their branch as the Bordeaux community was with theirs. The Watkins Park branch library closed on Tuesday March 1. Since the branch is so small it took movers all of three hours to box up the collection and move all of the furniture out of the branch. Construction Plans have been submitted to Metro Codes for permitting. The roofing and tuck pointing project at East Branch is nearing completion. We will close the branch during MNPS spring break, March 21 – 27 in order to do some interior repairs resulting from prior roof leaks. Branch Staffing During the past 6 weeks branch managers and supervisors have been busy hiring, hiring, hiring. By the end of March we will have filled 34 branch positions. And we still have vacancies yet to fill. In truth given over 190 branch positions it is unlikely we will ever have a week without a vacancy. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Looking forward to spring, branch staff throughout the system have been in purge and organize mode. While we hate to throw things away we are happy to recycle and to reuse at other locations items no longer needed at their current homes. As we continue to push a “less is more” and “just in time” culture throughout NPL, we see staff getting on board and embracing more efficient use of our resources.

Main Report Building  Main Library is preparing for its next building project which will begin in April. The Talking Library will relocate from its current location in Madison to the Main Library where it will merge with the Library Services for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing to create one Equal Access Division. A new Production Suites will be built at Main for them to record and air local newspapers and books. Staffing  Thaxton Waters has been hired to be the new Art Gallery Coordinator. 31 | P a g e


Teens Division manager, Adrienne Strock, has relocated to New Orleans. The position has been posted to fill. Programs  February marked the beginning of our oral history project for Estámos Aquí. Staff provided oral history trainings for the Conexión Américas and NAZA project, collecting conversations between current students and elder Glencliff High School alumni. Staff have conducted a total of 10 oral histories in February with more planned for March.  Part of the Conversations@NPL series, Deepa Iyer came to the Library to read from her book We Too Sing America: South Asian, Arab, Muslim and Sikh Immigrants Shape Our Multiracial Future. The book was featured in Booklist as one of the Top 10 Multicultural Non-Fiction Books of the Year.  The 6th Annual LEGO Competition had 282 entries, with more than 300 builders creating the entries. Over the course of the 2-day Competition, more than 1,500 people came to the library for the event. The award ceremony on Sunday was standing room only with spillover into the conference center.  NPL has been awarded the LRNG Innovators Challenge Grant which will fund teen programming at Woodland Hills Youth Development Center. Staff from NPL’s Teens Division work with Studio NPL to provide regular digital media workshops and book discussion programs at the facility.

Communications NPL Communications moved forward on its social media strategy, as well as its strategy for library card signups (new patron acquisition). Josephine Wood, NPL’s new social media specialist, reported 10,000 Facebook followers; more than 77,000 Twitter impressions; and 1,000 followers on Instagram. Meanwhile, we are approaching 12,000 Twitter followers. What’s more, NPL Communications launched a social media ad campaign, promoting NPL’s free products to Facebook users in Davidson County, whom we targeted using Facebook analytics. Finally, thanks to our Public Information Officer, Emily Waltenbaugh, our success among news media remains very strong. For example, February coverage included:     

Full-page spread by Ms. Cheap (Mary Hance) on NPL’s African-American History Month programs News 5 coverage of African-American History Month programming Ms. Cheap’s endorsement of NPL’s public technology classes Tennessean coverage of a Wikipedia edit-a-thon, which our Special Collections Center hosted for citizens to digitize Civil Rights history Coverage of NPL’s annual LEGO competition at the Main Library (Tennessean, News 5, News 2)

Collections and Technology Services Report We have launched our new website to staff for feedback. The website is entirely reconfigured and is now based on how a patron would search for library information rather than organized by library departments. The new system is based on an open source Content Management System so that it is easier to update things, has a more consistent look and feel, and prevents staff from touching multiple pages to update one element. The new site is responsive so that it works well on whatever device a person is using as it completely re-organizes itself to work on mobile phones, tablets and large screens. We have also had the opportunity to add Arabic and Spanish pages. 32 | P a g e


Our blog is also much more prominently featured and we have recruited more staff to contribute to it on a regular basis. As part of the web redesign, we have also worked with the Communications team so that we can more easily feed event calendar information to them for the Unbound print publication. With the new website, we have also rolled out some new products for patrons to try. Lynda.com is proving to be very popular as is Artist Works and BrainHQ. Ebooks and EAudiobooks continue to grow in popularity and we have the most used music download and streaming in the country.
