Managing the demand for the meeting rooms was discussed at length as the requests continue to <br /> increase and require an inordinate amount of staff time to respond to inquiries, schedule meetings, and <br /> assist groups with equipment and set up questions. <br /> Staffing for the Library in light of plans to expand hours was explained and discussed. There are <br /> opportunities and challenges associated with reconfiguring the hours and adjusting staff schedules. <br /> Discussion of hours and staffing continued. Additional evening hours with a later closing of 8:00 p.m. <br /> and Sunday afternoon hours are two strong options to consider in the future. Plans to open the Library <br /> at 9:00 a.m. on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday will be implemented the first week of <br /> .December. All preparations are on track. Opening at 10:00 a.m. instead of 12 Noon on Tuesday and <br /> Thursday will be implemented after the first of the year as soon as staffing and scheduled are aligned <br /> and the holidays have concluded. <br /> The potential departure of the Falmouth Library from the CLAMS network to join the OCLN network <br /> was discussed. The financial impact on our resources and funding of such a move will need to be <br /> evaluated if Falmouth is successful in its bid to change networks. Until a final decision is rendered by <br /> the OCLN network, no further plans can be made. The outcome of this question should be known <br /> before Strategic Planning begins in the upcoming year, and will influence the Library's future planning <br /> process. <br /> Matt Auger and Mary LeClair departed the meeting just after 5:00 p.m. during the above discussions. <br /> Communications <br /> There were no recent communications from the Selectmen or the Finance Committee. <br /> Next Meeting: 4pm, Tuesday, December It, 2018 at the Mashpee Library Conference Room. <br /> Adjournment <br /> Ann Macdonald moved to adjourn the meeting.
