[Library Board on August 5, 2026.]
MEETING ORDER AT 5 31, RIGHT? SAY ROLL CALL.UH, AND RICARDO, PASS AB ABSENT.
DID YOU RECEIVE ANY PUBLIC CALL? NO.
I JUST GOT A QUESTION ABOUT THE, UM, 23,000 WROTE UP.
SHOULD, SHOULD WE GO AHEAD AND DO YOU WANNA DO THE AGENDA FIRST AND THEN WE DO, YOU CAN PULL THE WARRANT.
NO, NO, I, I'M AWAY FROM THE AGENDA.
SORRY, I SECOND ABOUT THE MINUTES.
YEAH, THE MINUTES FROM LAST MEETING.
AND THEN I'LL PULL ITEM THREE.
I, I KNEW THAT THE, UH, APPROVALS ITEM ONE AND TWO.
AND THEN ON, UM, THE WARRANTS, I WAS JUST WONDERING, 23,000, WAS THERE A BIG BOOK PURCHASE? THERE WAS, WE, WHAT HAPPENED WAS, UM, RAR IS TRYING TO CATCH UP FROM THE TIME WHEN BAKER TAYLOR SORT OF FALTERED.
AND SO THEY'RE, THEY SENT US A LOT OF THE, UM, INVOICES ALL AT ONE CHUNK.
AND SO THAT'S WHY WE HAD SUCH A LARGE NUMBER AT ONCE.
UM, JUST BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN REALLY TRYING TO CATCH UP BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT PREPARED FOR BAKER TAYLOR TO NO LONGER EXIST.
UM, SO THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THE, THE LARGE CHUNK AT THE END DAY.
WHEN DOES YOUR BUDGET, AND DOES YOUR BUDGET GO LIKE JANUARY TO JANUARY? UH, IT'S FISCAL YEAR TO FISCAL YEAR.
UM, WE HAVE A $45,000 BUDGET FOR BOOKS AND A 10,000 BUDGET FOR MEDIA ITEMS. SECOND, UH, MARIA? YES.
SO I THINK I MENTIONED TO YOU, WE'VE UPDATED OUR CODE OF CONDUCT.
UM, SO THIS HAS GONE THROUGH THE LAWYERS, THEY'VE TAKEN A LOOK AT IT.
UM, WE BASE THIS OFF OF ONE, SOME OF THE FEEDBACK FROM STAFF THAT WE'VE SEEN IN THE LIBRARY, BUT ALSO BASED ON OTHER LIBRARY SYSTEMS. SO WE LOOKED AT THE COUNTY, THE CITY CALLS THAT, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY AROUND US TO FORMULATE, UM, THE NEW CODE OF CONDUCT TO BETTER, YOU KNOW, BE IN LINE WITH OTHER SYSTEMS SO THAT, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE COME IN AS AN EXPECTATION OF WHAT THEY CAN AND CANNOT DO.
UM, SO YOU'RE WELCOME TO TAKE A LOOK.
LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANYTHING.
WHAT NUMBER SPECIFICALLY CHANGED? DO YOU KNOW? THERE WAS QUITE, QUITE A NUMBER OF, WE ADDED, UM, THERE USED TO BE ON A 10, WEREN'T THERE? YEAH, THERE WAS, UH, THERE WAS, THERE WAS LIKE 15.
BUT YEAH, WE ADDED, UM, THINGS ABOUT, UM, CLOTHING, HYGIENE, HYGIENE, GOOD, UM, SLEEPING, UM, MISUSE OF FURNITURE, UM, EXCESSIVE NOISE, FOOD.
SO WE ADDED SOME OF THESE OTHER ITEMS THAT WE NOTICED WERE HAP HAPPENING IN THE LIBRARY, UM, SO THAT WE COULD, YOU KNOW, ADJUST ACCORDINGLY AND ADDRESS THE ISSUES THAT, YOU KNOW, THE COMMUNITY HAS RISEN WITH US.
WE ALSO HAVE ON THE BACK A SEPARATE SET OF, UM, RULES FOR THE CHILDREN'S ROOM ALONE SPECIFICALLY.
UM, JUST BECAUSE THE CHILDREN'S SPACE AND WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT FAMILIES AND CHILDREN FEEL SAFE THERE.
SO THEY'RE A LITTLE MORE RESTRICTIVE IN TERMS OF ADULTS CAN'T BE IN THE AREA WITHOUT A CHILD, WITHOUT LOOKING FOR MATERIALS, YOU KNOW, THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
AND THEN AT THE BOTTOM YOU'LL SEE THE ENFORCEMENT
[00:05:01]
POLICIES AND THEN WHO'S GONNA ENFORCE, 'CAUSE I KNOW SOME OF THESE ARE GONNA BE INTERESTING, ESPECIALLY WITH SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT I'VE SEEN THAT GO IN THE LIBRARY.SO THE, THE, OBVIOUSLY THE POLICEMEN THEY'RE THERE WILL ENFORCE THEM OTHERWISE LIBRARY STAFF WILL ENFORCE MM-HMM
UM, AND THE IDEA IS THAT ONCE WE HAVE THESE APPROVED, WE'LL MOVE FORWARD WITH A, UH, FORMULATED SUSPENSION LETTER THAT WE WILL WORK WITH CITY ATTORNEY ON TO MAKE SURE WE'RE IN LINE WITH EVERYONE.
AND THEN THAT WILL BE THE ENFORCEMENT.
YOU WILL GET A LETTER INDICATING WHICH RULES YOU'VE BROKEN MM-HMM
UM, AND THEN YOUR, YOUR TIME OF SUSPENSION, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY YOU'LL GET PEOPLE CHANCES.
IT WON'T BE LIKE ONE AND DOWN UNLESS IT'S SOMETHING YEAH.
UM, BUT IT'LL BE MORE IN LINE WITH LIKE THE CITY OR THE COUNTY WHERE ON THIS STATE, YOU DID THIS ON THIS DATE, YOU BROKE THIS WALL ON THIS DATE.
SO THEY CAN KIND OF SEE THE PATTERN OF THINGS THAT THEY HAVE DONE MM-HMM
AND BASED ON WHATEVER THAT HAPPENS TO BE, 30 DAYS, 60 DAYS, NINE DAYS A YEAR, DEPENDING ON THE SEVERITY OF THE, THE SITUATION.
ME, UM, QUESTIONS, UH, ON NUMBER 12 IT SAYS, UH, UNCOVERED BEVERAGES.
DOES THAT MEAN THAT COVERED COFFEE IS ALLOWED, COVERED WATER, COFFEE, THINGS LIKE THAT AS LONG? SO IT JUST SAYS FRENCH SPILLS AND THINGS OF THAT ANSWER.
THIS IS KIND OF SOMETHING THAT, THAT'S JUST ON MY MIND.
UM, IF SOMEONE HAD, UM, A FOLDING BICYCLE, COULD THEY BRING THAT IN? AS LONG AS IT'S SOMETHING SMALL THAT THEY CAN CARRY WITH THEM, THEN YES, THEY CAN BRING IT IN.
UM, IT WOULD BE LIKE A SCOOTER THAT YOU CAN FOLD UP AND CARRY IT ON.
IT'S JUST LIKE, LIKE THOSE RAZORS.
BUT IF YOU HAVE A LARGE PEOPLE ARE NOT GONNA PUT ANY, YOUR BICYCLE TO BE IN THE LIBRARY LIVE SOMEWHERE.
HOW ABOUT SKATEBOARDS? THEY CAN BRING THEM IN.
JUST AS LONG AS, AS LONG AS THEY'RE NOT ON THE ITEM, YOU KNOW, THAT'S, THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE'RE FALLING.
IT'S LIKE YOU CAN BRING IT IN, NEED TO GRAB SOMETHING.
WE DON'T WANT YOU TO LEAVE IT IN THE BUILDING UNATTENDED.
IF IT'S A LARGE ITEM THAT NEEDS TO BE PUT OUTSIDE AND, AND CHAINED UP TO THE BIKE RACK, IT SAYS IT'S PROHIBITED.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT SAYS THESE THINGS ARE PROHIBITED, THEN IT SAYS BRINGING SHOPPING CART, BICYCLE, SKATEBOARDS.
UM, EXCEPT, WELL, YEAH, WELL IT'S, IT'S MORE, I THINK IT'S CASE BY CASE KIND OF SITUATION.
THEY'RE, WE WANNA KEEP THEM OUTSIDE, BUT IF SOMEBODY BRINGS IN A SKATEBOARD AND THEY'RE JUST GRABBING SOMETHING, WE'RE NOT GONNA STOP 'EM.
I THINK IT'S, THE IDEA IS JUST TO KEEP, IF WE HAVE TO KEEP, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO REMOVE THEM FROM THE BUILDING, THIS IS THE FORM.
BECAUSE YOU, IT'S NOT, YOU CAN'T REALLY LOCK UP A SKATEBOARD.
PEOPLE
DO YOU HAVE ISSUES? I KNOW WE HAVE THIS WHERE I WORK, BUT, UM, LIKE SERVICE ANIMALS, THERE'S A LOT OF UM, MAYBE LIKE A LITTLE BIT LOOSE HOW THAT'S DEFINED OR THE SERVICE.
SO WHAT WE LIKE TO DO IS WE ASK THEM IF IT IS A, UM, EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMAL.
IF THEY ANSWER YES, WE SAY THAT'S NOT ALLOWED IN THE BUILDING.
A SERVICE ANIMAL ONLY AND A SERVICE ANIMAL HA THEY ASK WITH TWO QUESTIONS WE CAN ASK 'EM, WHICH IS WHAT SERVICE DO THEY PERFORM, WHICH IS THE BIGGEST ONE.
THEY HAVE PERFORMED AN ACTUAL SERVICE.
IT CAN'T JUST BE WELL, THEY, THEY FEEL SAFE.
SERVICE IS THE DOG WILL WALK IN FRONT OF ME SO THAT I DON'T GET TRIGGERED OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO THERE ARE TWO QUESTIONS THEY CAN ASK.
THEY CAN BRING EITHER A DOG, ONLY A DOG, OR A MINIATURE HORSE BECAUSE IT'S, NOW, I WILL TELL YOU, IF SOMEBODY BRINGS IN A MINIATURE HORSE, I MAY OR MAY NOT STOP THEM.
I MAY NOT ASK THEM ANY QUESTIONS.
A PICTURE OF BOTH HORSE, I'LL RUN DOWN AND CUT THEM PICTURES RIGHT BY THERE.
UH, BUT THOSE ARE THE ONLY TWO ANIMALS THAT ARE CONSIDERED SERVICE ANIMALS, EVERYTHING ELSE.
IS NOT CONSIDERED A SERVICE ANIMAL.
YEAH, I APPRECIATE NUMBER 22 BECAUSE I THINK IT'S SO, UM, IT'S BECOME SO ACCEPTABLE TO JUST FILM PEOPLE AND I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO HAVE SPACE FOR LIKE WE'RE SAYING LIKE, YOU ACTUALLY CAN'T DO THAT, YOU KNOW? YEAH.
I JUST HAD A QUESTION ABOUT 23 MONOPOLIZING.
HAVE YOU HAD PROBLEMS WITH PEOPLE MONOPOLIZING
[00:10:01]
FURNITURE OR OUTLETS? YES.OR PEOPLE WILL SIT, THEY WILL CAMP OUT.
THEY WILL PUT ALL THEIR STUFF ON A BUNCH OF CHAIRS.
WE HAD A SPECIFIC INSTANCE WHERE A GENTLEMAN REFUSED TO MOVE HIS BAG OFF A CHAIR IN THE COMPUTER CENTER SO SOMEONE ELSE COULD USE IT.
IT RESULTED IN A PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL SITUATION THAT OCCURRED.
SO IT'S, IT'S REALLY LIKE THE LIBRARIES FOR EVERYBODY.
YOU CAN'T MONOPOLIZE THREE CHAIRS BECAUSE YOU WANNA PUT ALL OF YOUR MATERIALS KIND OF THING.
SO WE HAVE HAD SOME INSTANCES AND ALSO, YOU KNOW, WITH PEOPLE PUTTING EVERYTHING ON FURNITURE AND THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT'S WHY WE INCLUDED THOSE COVER ALL OF OUR BASES.
SO HOW WILL THIS INFORMATION BE DISSEMINATED TO PEOPLE? SO WE WILL, WE'LL POST THIS ON OUR DOOR AND WE WILL POST THIS THROUGHOUT THE LIBRARY.
UM, AND YOU KNOW, OF COURSE WHEN WE HAVE INSTANCES, WE WILL SHOW THEM.
THIS IS, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE THE POLICIES.
THIS IS WHERE YOU CAN FIND THEM.
THEY'LL BE ON OUR WEBSITE OF COURSE, TO REVIEW AS WELL AS WE DO NOW.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS? I'M JUST CURIOUS IF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY HAS LOCKERS OR PLACES WHERE UNHOUSED PEOPLE CAN STORE THEIR BELONGINGS? I DON'T KNOW.
SO LIKE, IF YOU'RE, I JUST WAS ON REDDIT READING PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT BEING UNHOUSED AND LIKE LIBRARIES AND ONE OF THE PLACES YOU CAN GO AND JUST SIT ALL DAY.
YOU DON'T BUY ANYTHING, WHICH I THINK IS AN INCREDIBLE THING THAT
I SOMETIMES CAN I JUST THINK ABOUT LIKE, IF I WAS IN THE HOUSE, WHAT WOULD I DO? YEAH.
IT'S REALLY, REALLY CHALLENGING.
AND, AND WE DO HAVE SOME, AND THEY LEAVE THEIR CART OUTSIDE AND USUALLY THEY'LL SIT IN, IN AN AREA WHERE THEY CAN KIND OF, YOU KNOW, KEEP AN EYE ON IT, KEEP, UM, BUT WE JUST, YEAH.
WE DON'T HAVE LOCKERS OR JUST SPACES FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
I JUST, YEAH, IT'D BE A LIABILITY.
'CAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S IN THERE.
SO IF SOMETHING HAPPENS AND, YOU KNOW, IT WOULD BE, YEAH, IT WOULD BE LIKE WE'RE TAKING SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR ITEMS WRITTEN IN THERE ALSO, YOU KNOW, CLEANLINESS, THINGS LIKE THAT.
WE WOULD, YOU KNOW, THAT WOULD BE, UH, NOT, I, AND I DON'T OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD KNOW ANY LIBRARY THAT HAS THAT AS A, AN OPTION FOR PEOPLE.
AND I MEAN, AT LEAST AT THE MOMENT.
BUT I, I DO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE, IT'S, IT IS A, IT IS HARD.
THE STRIKING THE BALANCE BETWEEN BEING HUMANE AND ALSO YEAH.
PROTECTING EVERYBODY WITH, OKAY.
SO CAN WE GET A MOTION TO PROPOSE? DO WE HAVE TO PUT THIS OR YES.
YOU, YOU GUYS ALL POLICIES? HAVE I
STAFF IS GONNA BE VERY EXCITED.
THEY'VE BEEN WAITING FOR, UH, US TO BRING TO YOU GUYS.
AND I THINK HAVING THE SUSPENSION THAT IT'LL ALSO BE HELPFUL.
THEY'LL BE ASKED WHAT CONSEQUENCES TO THE, THE ACTION, RIGHT? MM-HMM
SO, UM, SAN DIEGO PRIDE, THE LIBRARY PARTICIPATED FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR.
WE, UH, WE PARTNERED WITH SAN DIEGO PUBLIC AND SAN DIEGO COUNTY LIBRARIES.
WE GOT TO INTERACT WITH THE COMMUNITY.
UH, THE COMMUNITY WAS REALLY HAPPY TO SEE US.
I LIKE, OH MY GOD, NATIONAL CITY, LIKE, GREAT.
UM, WE ALSO GOT TO WALK IN THE PARADE AS A CITY, UH, CONTINGENT, WHICH WAS ALSO REALLY WONDERFUL.
IT'S THE FIRST TIME IN PROBABLY FIVE OR SIX YEARS THAT THAT'S HAPPENED.
UM, YOU KNOW, WE DEFINITELY HEARD PEOPLE IN THE CROWD LIKE NATIONAL CITY
SO IT WAS REALLY LOVELY TO SEE, UM, THE ENGAGEMENT FROM THE COMMUNITY.
WE WALKED WITH THE CITY STAFF, WE WALKED WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
SO IT WAS A REAL, UM, IT WAS A REALLY, UH, ECLECTIC GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT REPRESENTED US.
SO IT WAS, IT WAS A LOVELY OPPORTUNITY.
WE HOPE WE'RE GONNA DO IT IN NEXT YEAR AND KEEP THIS AS A, A REGULAR, UH, PROGRAM.
UM, SUMMER READING HAS CONCLUDED.
WE HAD OUR FINAL EVENTS ON SATURDAY.
UH, WE HAD, UM, WILD WONDERS THERE WITH THE ANIMALS, WHICH OF COURSE EVERYBODY LOVES.
UM, WE HAD OVER 800 PARTICIPANTS, ALMOST 900
[00:15:01]
PARTICIPANTS THIS YEAR.WHICH IS ABOUT FOUR TIMES OR WEEKS RECENTLY HAD.
UM, AND A LOT OF THAT I THINK HAD TO DO WITH THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY FAIR PASSES THAT WE GAVE OUT THIS YEAR.
WE'RE HOPING THAT CONTINUED PARTNERS, BUT WE WILL, YOU KNOW, WE'LL HAVE TO WORK ON IT FOR THE NEXT YEAR.
UM, WE HAD, I THINK WE GAVE AWAY, UM, 600 MEALS OVER THE SUMMER.
UM, WE HAD 1500 ATTENDEES AT ALL OF OUR EVENTS, SO IT WAS A PRETTY ROBUST SUMMER.
UM, THE KEY, YOU KNOW, IT WAS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.
THEY COULD STILL GET THEIR PRIZES TO THE END OF AUGUST.
WE'RE STILL ALLOWING THEM TO DO THAT.
BUT OFFICIALLY, THE SUMMER READING PROGRAM HAD ENDED.
UM, BUT IT WAS, IT WAS DEFINITELY A WONDERFUL, UH, YEAR THIS YEAR.
SO WE'RE VERY HAPPY, HAPPY CONTINUE NEXT YEAR.
UM, AND IS THERE A, I REMEMBER WHEN WE, WHEN WE PARTICIPATED, WE WERE SUPPOSED TO FILL OUT OF, UH, AGES OF BOOKS THAT YOU READ MM-HMM
DO YOU DO THAT NOW? IS THERE LIKE A GOAL FOR THEM TO REACH? SO, UM, IT'S ALL NOW UHHUH
THEY ALSO HAVE A PAPER APPLICATION.
SO ESSENTIALLY IT'S EVERY FIVE BOOKS.
SO THE FIRST FIVE BOOKS, THEY GET THEIR BIG PRIZES, THEIR COUPONS AND ALL OF THAT STUFF.
AND THEN EVERY FIVE BOOKS AFTER THAT, THEY GET AN ADDITIONAL PRIZE AND A, UM, ENTERING INTO THE DRAWINGS.
SO THE MORE THEY READ, THE MORE OPPORTUNITIES THEY GET TO WIN PRIZES.
SO THE 800 PEOPLE DID ALL OF THEM AT LEAST GET THE FIRST FIVE.
UH, THAT I'M NOT POSITIVE ABOUT, BUT I KNOW THEY ALL GOT, THEY ALL, UM, GOT THE SIGNUP PRIZE.
AND THEN I'LL HAVE TO CHECK WITH TIM ON TERMS OF HOW MANY ACTUALLY WERE ERS MM-HMM
UM, BUT WE HAD A LOT MORE ENGAGEMENT FROM NOT ONLY THE KIDS, BUT THE ADULTS TOO.
A PRETTY, UM, ROBUST ENGAGEMENT FROM THE ADULTS 12, WHICH WAS LOVELY TO SEE THIS YEAR.
UM, WE GAVE AWAY LIKE A TOTE BAG, WHICH THEY REALLY LIKED.
FRIENDS WERE VERY GENEROUS AND GAVE US A PRETTY TOO FOND OF BOOKSTORE.
SO, UM, BUT I CAN, I CAN LET YOU GUYS KNOW EXACTLY HOW MANY, LIKE FINISH THEIR YEAH.

CHILDREN'S, UH, TEENS AND ADULTS.
THE ADULT COMMITTEE READ ABOUT 160 BOOKS IN A COUPLE MONTHS.
UM, AND OUR TOP 10 WERE ANNOUNCED ON SUNDAY, UH, AT THE EVENT BOOKS AND BREWS.

UM, THE CARDS ARE, UH, FIVE FOOT LIMIT.
THEY DO NOT HAVE TO FILL ADDRESS, UM, OR HAVE THEIR PARENT, THE PARENTS HAVE TO SIGN UP, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE TO VERIFY ANYTHING.
THIS IS TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERY KID HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET A LIBRARY CARD IN THE, IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

I ALWAYS, WE'RE ALWAYS BUSY WITH THE LIBRARY.
SO NOW FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY, FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY, UM, I WAS NOT ABLE TO MAKE THE LIST EVER.
I KNOW THAT WE'RE GONNA START COLLECTING ITEMS FOR OUR CHRISTMAS BASKETS.
SO AS YOU LOOK THROUGH YOUR CLOSETS, AS YOU GO THROUGH YOUR CLEANING, YOU FIND THINGS THAT PEOPLE HAVE GIVEN YOU AND JUST CAN'T, YOU CAN'T BE GIFT.
NOT 'CAUSE YOU FORGOT WHO GAVE IT TO YOU.
SO I, WELL GIVE TO THE LIBRARIES SO WE CAN PUT THEM IN THE BUSINESS BASKET.

DOES ANYBODY FROM THE COMMUNITY HAVE AN ARCHIVE HERE AT THE LIBRARY? UH, WE DON'T HAVE A SPECIFIC PERSON.
WE HAVE THE LOCAL HISTORY, THEN PEOPLE WILL DONATE MATERIALS TO THE HISTORY ROOM FROM THEIR PERSONAL COLLECTION.
BUT I DON'T, I DON'T THINK WE HAVE A SPECIFIC ARCHIVE FOR ANYBODY, BUT THAT WOULD REALLY BE A QUESTION FOR CARL I THE SERVICES.
UM, SO IF THERE IS SOMEBODY OR INTERESTED IN, OR IF YOU WANNA, UM, LOOK, YOU CAN REACH OUT TO HIM AND HE CAN, YOU KNOW, HE HAS ACCESS TO ALL THE, THE MATERIALS THAT WE HAVE IN THE SPACE.
