IN COMMISSION CHAMBERS, CITY HALL, 100 EAST OCEAN AVENUE BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA PRESENT: Marcia Levine, Chair Craig Clark, Library Director Dr. Hayden, Adeyemo Jeannie Taylor, Assistant Library Director George Feldman Ace Tilton Ratcliff Lindsay Karten Robyn Boucard ABSENT: Elizabeth Sherlock 1. Call to Order— Marcia Levine, Board Chair Chair Levine called the meeting to order at 6:05 p.m. 11. Approval of Minutes— Meeting of August 25, 2021 Motion Dr. Hayden-Adeyemo moved to approve the minutes as written. Mr. Feldman seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. ill. Correspondence and Communications Dr. Hayden-Adeyemo stated she is on the Education and Youth Advisory Board and attended a special meeting for a Pumpkin Carving event fundraiser to help support awards such as the Bob Borovy Award. Depending on how many hours students volunteer for at the Library they are prospective recipients. The event is on October 16th. She thought the Library would be a good participant. Anyone can register and submit a pumpkin to be judged. She noted the Education and Youth Advisory Board has made strides with marketing and being more visible in the community, the same as the Library. She recalled the Library wanted to be the nebulous of City Hall. Mx. Tilton Ratcliff asked if there any written information about it and learned the Board is shoring up advertising the basic information. There is a flyer that is already out about the Fall Festival event at the Intracoastal. Dr. Hayden-Adeyemo commented it would be good for the Board to be present. Meeting Minutes Library Board Boynton Beach, Florida September 22,2421 Mr. Feldman wanted to speak about his visit with Creative Edge. He met Christina Graves with his friend, who is an architect, and they were both overwhelmed with the technology. There was much to do and learn and it is an enterprising situation. It is not open to youth under 18, but he thought it was going to be a very popular addition. He commended who ever had the vision to bring it forward and he was proud. Dr. Hayden-Adeyemo noted the Library hosted Third and Fifth Bank in one of the Library rooms and four individuals who attended. They wanted to know how to better reach the community at large and what was the best time to have information sessions. She queried how they can partner with them to bring people out to the Library. She commented the rooms are being utilized for events like that, but people were not attending. She commented it goes back to the marketing and when is the best time to have an event for City residents. She noted Saturday's are busy. Mr. Clark explained Maddie Kjosa heads that program. They advertise the programs. She is really good at programming and will try different times and feel things out. (Ms. Boucard arrived at 6:13 p.m.) Ms. Boucard visited the Library last week and bought her grandson. They had a great time in the Little People's room playing tic tac toe. It felt good being in that environment after so many years. She thought the company did a beautiful job with the Library. IV. Public Audience (Individual Speakers Will Be Limited to 3 Minute Presentations) Dr. Hayden-Adeyemo commented they talked about an Ambassador/show your face board and noted they have a lot of events on Saturday. The last event she attended, the Library was there, but she did not see a table for any other Boards and she did not know if that is something the City does collectively. She mentioned that was how she saw the Library moving forward. If there is an event, they can attend. She saw a church passing out water. She feels the division in four areas of the City and all have been affected by COVID, but she thought there was not enough knowing who your neighbor or know who your Board is occurring. She thought the Library and Education and Youth Advisory Board have synergy. People come and show up to the meeting, but it is a wrong meeting. Even though there is so much information everywhere, the public is missing it. People come to a Saturday event and then there is no follow up. Chair Levine asked Mr. Clark to speak about how the City Marketing and the CRA interface. Mr. Clark explained the CRA holds some events and the events staff knows about, they try to participate in. They are all on the City's website, and anyone can view them 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. If something is listed they are interested in and you think the Library should be involved in, the members can forward it to the marketing department. The Library had a table at the MLK event. The one before was the CRA Night Market, but it was too short a notice. The next event will be Pirate Fest. The Youth Department is in contact with the CRA event and the Library 2 Meeting Minutes Library Board Boynton Beach, Florida September 22, 2021 w a: s w_._........ � : will remain open that day. Mr. Clark was unsure they could staff the event outside because there are only two employees that work on Saturday. Half the employees work on Fridays and half work on Saturday. Dr. Hayden-Adeyemo recalled the setup of the Library and the proposed cafe. She thought it would have been great to have a book and talk, or drink and talk at the Light the Night. Because she was so obstinate about changing the Library, she is at a point in her grief process she can move forward, and find positive ways to ramp up what they have and attract people. She thought at the Pirates Fest, they could come and see the treasures we have in the Library to get foot traffic in. Mr. Feldman thought Dr. Hayden-Adeyemo ideas where great and suggested she take the initiative and write them all down, so they can get it together. He commented he would like all the information to review. Dr. Hayden-Adeyemo stated it was already on record. Mr. Feldman thought if Dr. Hayden-Adeyemo wants to do something with social media or contact the marketing person via email, they can discuss it at the next meeting. Dr. Hayden-Adeyemo commented they were supposed to have a restaurant, but they do not. Mr. Feldman advised this may not be the correct forum for her ideas. Dr. Hayden-Adeyemo noted the Education and Youth Advisory Board had special meetings. She thought the Library Board should have a working meeting to brainstorm. Many people on the Board participate in things, but she did not want the Board to become stale. Mr. Feldman commented the lag time between the Library being built, the objections she had, and now she is excited about joining in, so he can look at it and put it on an agenda for a future meeting. Dr. Hayden-Adeyemo requested a special meeting. Chair Levine explained the Art Advisory Board had a special meeting, and it was quite a bit of work and coordination. It required permission by the City Commission. She thought maybe the procedure for that Board is different. For the Education and Youth Advisory Board, they looked at schedules and then held a meeting. V. Chair's Report— Marcia Levine, Board Chair Chair Levine had no report this month. VI. Unfinished Business: Staffing Update- Craig Clark Mr. Clark is still in the process of hiring a Library Page position as they still have not found the appropriate person. He will interview additional candidates. Otherwise they are fully staffed. Career Online High School Program - Jeannie Taylor Ms. Taylor explained they have received 10 scholarships from the State and they will have another student scholarship interview tomorrow. The person who got a scholarship Meeting Minutes Library Board Boynton Beach, Florida September 22, 2021 last month completed her 30-day probation and completed two classes. Currently, there are four students in the high school program. The criteria is the student has to be an adult and a Library card holder. Ms. Boucard noted at a prior meeting, a woman from another country approached her. Ms. Taylor explained they have had people from other countries participate before and one already graduated. Sometimes it is expensive to get their transcript or have the information and sometimes it is easier to just start over from the beginning. That person was very successful completing the program and is doing quite well. ARPA Grant Application — Technology Training for Entrepreneurs and Career Advancement for$93,084 Mr. Clark explained the Board discussed the grant last meeting in detail. He advised Friday is the first meeting to discuss awarding the $6.2M the State Library has. There are over $8M in competitive grants, and the Library is one of them. The City is requesting $93,084. The scholarships will be awarded between Thursday and Friday. This is the first year ARPA Grants are available due to COVID. The grant period is October 1, 2021, to September 30, 2022. The Library manages their own grants. The grant has to be expended by September 30, 2022, and be used for what was in the grant application. There was information in the minutes they talked about hiring a full-time person to teach different types of classes to the public, anywhere from Microsoft office products, Quick Books and small business type programs. Staff will work with that person to develop a curriculum. If successful, staff may be able to hire a full-time person next year. Dr. Hayden-Adeyemo liked the idea to link it with the Career Online High School which would create a smooth transition after high school. She hoped it would help to obtain funding next year. VII. New Business 2022 State Aid Application estimated amount$52,257—Craig Clark Staff was getting ready to submit the above application. There is an October 1 St deadline. Mr. Clark explained it is an annual application they submit for operating grants. A 1963 law, allows public libraries to split a pot of money. The estimated amount was noted above. They set that aside for technology needs such as computer and laptop replacements. After submitted, the Library usually receives notification in February of what the actual award is. Dr. Hayden-Adeyemo noted there is a TV-type device displayed outside of the Youth Department and asked if the Library would purchase them. Mr. Clark responded the City purchased them, but the Library Marketing Manager manages the content. Social Worker Intern Program—Jeannie Taylor Ms. Taylor stated the Library started the Social Worker Intern Program this past week. The intern's name is Irini Gudigi and she is starting her Master's degree in Social Work and is supervised by a licensed social worker who will spend time with her when she is 4 Meeting Minutes Library Board Boynton Beach; Florida September 22, 2021 here until she gets more familiar with what she is doing. She is present every Wednesday and Thursdays for full days to meet with individuals who may need resources. It is advertised on the Library website and social media and whatever outreach they have. She sits in the Library public area and there is a sign there saying what she is there for. She has to be visible to the public. She is in a semi private area and assists mostly with resources such as food stamps and homeless services. Ms. Boucard asked if there are any other advertisements ongoing in the surrounding area so the public would know this service is offered at the Library. Mr. Clark explained there is a sign and a display. She sits in front of the windows by the large print books near the computers. It is a service for adults so it is located upstairs. There is an intake application for services and they will post it on the website. Just like Career Source individuals who is present on Tuesday, staff wants them to be visible so people can see they are there if needed. The CareerSource representative is very popular There is a sign and word of mouth gets out. The Library has the same type of sign and the word gets out. She is only there one day but there is a sign with the times she is there. Dr. Hayden-Adeyemo noted City residents pay bills on the first floor and asked if there was a better way to share the information. Mr. Clark explained there is a sign that the Library is upstairs by the main entrance and they advertise programs on the monitors by the Information Desk and by the Youth Library. There is a sign that says Adult Library on the second floor and Youth Library on the first floor VIII. Library Director's ReportlStatistics August 2021 Monthly Report Circulation is steadily increasing and many of the online databases and digital resources are increasing and some are not. People are getting out more and may want to visit the Library as opposed to reviewing items online. All is moving in the right direction. Chair Levine noted she visits the Library and there are always people around. IX. Announcements October 2021 Library Programming Next Library Board Meeting —October 27, 2021 Mr. Clark left programming information on the dais which he reviewed. Mx. Tilton Ratcliff thought it was great and that there are incredible programs for teens and kids. Sometimes the meetings can feel like they are beating on the Library, but they thought it was special. The City has an incredible Library and they was excited to see all of it. Chair Levine thanked Mr. Feldman for bringing up the Creative Edge. She mentioned it to a lot of people. Many individuals want to use the Cricket machine and she wants to take the tour. She hoped the Library would receive the grant. Chair Levine announced the next meeting. 5 Meeting Minutes Library Board Boynton Beach, Florida September 22,2021 Dr. Hayden-Adeyemo thought they updated the attendance policy.

I continue to see reliable attendance by my regulars, as well as a steady stream of new learners every September 2021 Monthly Report I Page 6 day. I am so thrilled that so many of my students returned from last year and I love meeting the new ones just as much. One great development this month is that towards the end of the month we had our AmeriCorps homework helper orientation and now we have 6 extra helpers! This has been so amazing for the center and so helpful for me! All of the members have told me they love serving in the center and the kids love it too. I have a pretty good system of trying to schedule students with the same teacher every time so they can develop a relationship and know what level the student is on easily. Having these helpers has been such a blessing and has really made the center blossom. This month has been very busy. We are averaging about 12-15 students a day but have even had days reach 19 sessions! The September statistics for kids were as follows: In regards to students K-6, I had 51 different students! This was a mix of students from last year as well as a bunch of brand new students! This month we had 21 new students and 30 returning students! The new students varied in age with no VPK (Preschool), 2 kindergarteners, 1 first grader, 4 second graders, 6 third graders, 2 fourth graders, and 4 fifth graders and 2 sixth graders. Between myself and the first week of the extra helpers, we had about 140 children sessions from 30 minutes — 1 hour and did just over 81 hours of instruction for the month of September. Please keep in mind I am counting each student a separate session even if I was working with multiple students at a time. This is important for interpreting my data! I am loving these numbers, I really feel like this year is going to be amazing for the expansion of this program. While I still mostly am getting children learners, I also had a few teenagers (7-12 grade) and hope to continue building with this age group. In September, I had 7 teenagers, all from Southtech Prep and daughters of Zion, and Atlantic. I had 3 new teenagers this month, 2 eighth graders and a 10th grader. The center did a total of 15 teenage sessions for a total of 8 hours of instruction. All together kids and teens combined we served 58 students in 155 sessions for a total of about 89 hours of instruction. I am so thrilled with these numbers and hope they continue as the year progresses. It is also worth noting I have been doing a few adult sessions in the morning. I have served 2 different adult students helping with GED study and resume help. I also have gotten a lot of interest for ESL help, and while I am not currently able to provide it, I am compiling a list of learner information for future use. Most of my students continue to need help with Math homework. Math help is definitely my number on request from learners and parents. However, a close second is reading and writing, followed by other more random activities like social studies, science, spelling, religion, and even culinary. One change from last year is that I am doing a lot less lesson-planning. Not sure if it is Covid related or just a coincidence, but it seems a lot more of my students have a heavy homework load and most parents are looking for more homework help rather than tutoring. Over all this was an amazing month at the homework help center and I cannot wait to see how this next full month with the homework helpers goes!
