A. Library Study Committee —Brenda Cams
The Library Management Team met with two consultants from the State Library to set up
this process which will be handed over to a 15 to 18 member Public Planning Committee.
Work has been done to define components of the community and to identify people with
interest in these categories.
Brenda Cams explained that the Public Planning Process is the next generation of the
process the Library Board began with their "Into the 21" Century" document. Although
the Board has identified standards for the library, it is important to be the best and do the
most with what we now have. The Public Planning Process will help focus resources and
develop a plan now and into the foreseeable future.
Mary Robertson agreed to represent the Library Board at the February 4" meeting and
report to the Library Board at their February 11t' meeting. The Board will then decide if
more Library Board members should be involved in the process. Rudy Maes also
expressed interest in participating on the committee.
B. Review 1998 Annual Report — Jack Steele
The Board accepted the draft 1998 Annual Report as written.
C. Public Library Standards for Colorado — Jack Steele
Jack Steele asked Board members to carefully read "Public Library Standards for
Colorado" which will be discussed at the February meeting. He asked them to substitute
"Advisory Committee" where it reads "Governing Bodies" to see if the item is being
done. Discussion will center around items that are being done, about some which can't
be done, and others which the Board may want to recommend to the Library Director.
Miscellaneous
Jack Steele shared an article which appeared in the Denver Post about the Denver Public Library
being given an Honor Award for Interior Architecture in the American Institute of Architects
50"' anniversary 1999 Honor Awards.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:15 p.m.

Marjorie Teklits
