CLAMS...Kathy reported CLAMS is taking measures to make searches more robust. <br /> Mary LeClair exited the meeting. <br /> Building and Grounds Subcommittee <br /> Kathy reported she met with the Building and Grounds Subcommittee on March 315 to review and prioritize the <br /> results of the assessment. <br /> Joan Lyons reported there are 36 items on the"to be done" list. Joan said Mark Wright volunteered for light <br /> bulb replacement...and he said the one in the refrigerator has been replaced. <br /> Joan stated her husband, an engineer, checked the Telex Assistive Listening System Device and is of the opinion <br /> our system is operational,but needs some tuning. The system was installed as part of the new building <br /> construction,but has never worked effectively due to static problem. Joan said she tried to contact original <br /> vendors who worked on the building project,but impossible to connect with anyone. She did find out the <br /> product is discontinued. Finally,Joan contacted Cape Cod Audio in Hyannis. He said he installed those <br /> systems on a couple of libraries on the Cape. He offered to test our system in his office free of charge and if the <br /> system is fine he would come to the library at cost of$90 plus$65 per hour to get the system operational. Joan <br /> and her husband will pick up the device tomorrow and will deliver it to Cape Cod Audio. <br /> Kathy,Joan, and Carolyn met with KenMark to look at and get a plan for copiers/printers for the building. <br /> • 2 copiers were purchased with the new building. <br /> • Swipe card system for copier/printer. Patrons want a coin operation system. <br /> • Leed Certified building so original idea was to keep printer/copiers to a minimum to be more efficient. <br /> • Patrons ask about faxing/scanning. IT Department is reluctant to have public scanning. KenMark could <br /> give public printer/scanner/copier/fax machine,but revenue from public machine would not go to the <br /> library. Mark said he could set up a stand-alone machine,not connected to Town network. He talked <br /> about setting up a station for the public. <br /> • Library generates about$6,000 per year in revenue from printing/copying service,which Kathy is <br /> reluctant to lose. It goes into Revolving Account and supplements the materials budget. <br /> • Joan said KenMark rep said machines are operating well so leave them alone; if problems develop,then <br /> replace. <br /> Joan reported there were 7 non-working clocks in this building. She and her husband put new batteries in 5 of <br /> the 7 clocks and have brought them back to the library now. Kathy mentioned that in the past if clock is <br /> hanging on an outer wall they only last several days and then fail. <br /> W. B.Mason coming Thursday to look at how office space use could be improved and will then offer proposed <br /> plan and price quote. The staff would like to add some partitions in the common work room to provide some <br /> separation between the main circulation desk and the Office Manager and Assistant Director. It is hard for them <br /> to concentrate and they might benefit from some dividers/partitions between workstations. <br /> Flat screen TV for Events Room and projector to be replaced...cost price for installation needed. <br /> 3 <br />
