ITEM 6' OLD BUSINESS-- None ITEM 7' NEW BUSINESS Discussion -- Focus of the Library Commission The Commission discussed the roles and focus of the Library Commission and stated since the likelihood of a building addition is slim, the Commission should focus on other areas. The following suggestions were made: · Heus commented the library could look into providing a broader public use of the library. She also suggested the Commission work harder to network among its members to stay informed of various meetings and conferences, which could be useful. · Educate the Commission on state and national library trends to help the commissioners come up with new ideas regarding funding. DeForest suggested the library apply for a historical preservation grant as the Alaskana section of the library is the largest and most comprehensive on the Peninsula. This could draw more awareness to the library and its needs. · School librarians and others should be invited to commission meetings to network. · Chairman Peters informed the Commission that in several libraries in the Seattle area, a "Teens in the Librarf' night is held on a regular basis. A planning board comprised of teens arranges the entertainment, lectures, etc. This seems to have become very popular and could be a good method in attracting more teens and others, to the library. The Commission agreed to provide more ideas at the visioning meeting in December. ITEM 8: COMMISSIONER COMMENTS/QUESTIONS Commissioner Heus requested Commissioners email her at heus(~_,alaska.net if conferences or programs concerning libraries occur.
