Topics of Discussion:
I. Call to Order at 7:01 p.m.
The Board held a brief moment of silence in memory of the lives impacted by the
September 11, 2001 tragedy.
II. Public Comment
No public comments were made in person or remotely.
Ill. Reading Lions Request
Ms. Lannon reviewed the Board's authority to approve solicitation, tabling, collection,
and posting activities for fundraising purposes. The Reading Lions Club will run its third
annual seasonal Scarecrow Contest Fundraiser in October to benefit its supported
charities. Previously, the organization has set up a table at Harrows Restaurant in
Reading and is requesting to expand their tabling to the Reading Public Library this year.
A $20 donation to the Reading Lions Club provides participants with a basic scarecrow
frame kit, which they can decorate. Photos of decorated scarecrows are shared online,
with a few selected as winners. The Lions support the Library's braille storywalks and
access to visual assistive technology.
Ms. Vernier asked if the Lions had specific dates or times in mind or if they were looking
to be flexible due to weather and their outdoor tabling setup. Ms. Holden and Ms.
Mclsaac said they would be grateful for any opportunity. However, it would be good to
pop up during nice weather or during family storytime events to maximize interest and
involvement.
Ms. Vernier questioned what would work better for Library staff. Ms. Lannon suggested
planning a few tentative dates around children's programming, weather permitting, due
to the crowded indoor space of the Library lobby. Ms. Lannon noted that Children's
programs typically last about an hour and that the Library is also busy after school. Ms.
Filled suggested that Saturday mornings around 10:00 a.m. may work well, as a weekly
Jumping Beans: Family Storytime Drop-in program is regularly well -attended.
Ms. Holden and Ms. Mclsaac clarified that they typically sell scarecrow kits during the
first three weeks of October. Ms. Lannon agreed that October 7 and 14 would work for
Library staff.
Motion: To allow the Reading Lions Club to set up a table on October 7, 2023, and
October 14, 2023, or other acceptable dates during October, to sell scarecrow kits.
(Popp / Grimes)
Vote: Approved 5-0
Ms. Holden and Ms. Mclsaac thanked the Board and excused themselves at 7:10 p.m.
IV. Summer Reading Report and Fall Programming Update
Ms. Andrea Fiorillo introduced herself as the Head of Research and Reader Services
and provided an overview of summer reading and programming statistics. The Library
offered nine STEAM -focused programs for Grades 1 through 5, with math being the
most popular. There were eleven talent show participants who showcased their skills in
areas such as gymnastics, piano, drums, and more. One hundred sixteen people
enthusiastically attended Vehicle Day despite rainy weather. An all -ages Mini Golf
program saw 125 participants, including many families. Eighty-one teens attended
programs, including several events collaborating with Creative Arts. Teens also wrote 78
book reviews for the "Find Your Voice!" summer reading program. A special Summer
Sizzlers evening program for adults kicked off the summer and featured a mocktail
fundraiser by the Friends of the Reading Public Library.
This Fall, children's storytimes will be held every day except Sunday. Thursday evenings
will feature adaptive storytimes, and on Fridays, programming will alternate between
singalongs with Peter Sheridan, muhilanguage storytimes, and special guest storytimes
with community leaders. Middle schoolers will receive an introduction to the Library
through the annual Sixth Grade Tours.
Staff are incorporating feedback from the summer reading survey into future program
offerings. Popular birding programs with Dave Williams will continue. A basic budgeting
financial literacy program will help serve a younger adult audience. The Library will also
offer programs for veterans and active military members, Mental Health First Aid
training, English at Large Conversation Circles, and a Memory CafB.
Page 12
Ms. Verner requested more detail on military programming. Ms. Fiorillo mentioned
Endicott College student Autumn Hendrickson, who will present on Reading's
Contribution to World War II and author Adam Lazarus is speaking on his new book "The
Wingmen: The Unlikely, Unusual, Unbreakable Friendship Between John Glenn and Ted
Williams;', which features stories from both World War II and the Korean War.
Ms. Fiorillo highlighted other new events, such as Teen Meetups featuring Magic the
Gathering card games and the North Shore Alliance for GLBTO+ Youth (NAGLY).
"Spark Spot" will provide open art studio opportunities for children. The Library's
bookbike will continue outreach at the Commuter Rail station on Tuesday mornings and
afternoons, weather permitting. Despite buses replacing trains on the Haverhill line, we
received many positive community interactions during each visit.
Partnerships with English at Large, the Stoneham Senior Center, Reading Pleasant
Street Center, North Shore Alliance for GLBTO+ Youth (NAGLY), Reading Coalition for
Prevention and Support, Town of Reading, and Reading Veterans Services help make
Library programming successful.
' Whafs the Big Idea" is a new initiative selected by a staff committee to guide programs,
services, and collections for the year. This year's theme is "Library as Space and Place,"
highlighting the Library as a natural and neutral "third space" for community
conversations. Upcoming initiatives include meetup groups, puule swaps, the health
nook, conversation circles, storytimes, kids' maker space, eclipse viewing, and more. On
Saturday, September 30, patrons are invited to join a statewide celebration of the
freedom to read by reading outside on the Library lawn.
Mr. Egan noted that storytime registrations filled up quickly at the end of August. Ms.
Fiorillo explained the popularity of storytimes. Four to five storytimes per week are
registration only limited to one per family. All registered storytimes are full, including the
waitlists. Drop-in storytime programs will be featured on Fridays and Saturdays in the
larger Community Room space to accommodate a larger group and a more
spontaneous approach. Ms. Lannon explained that registered storytimes will take place
in a smaller group setting in the Children's Program Room. Research has shown that it
is more developmentally beneficial for children to be in smaller groups with their
caregivers. Although attendance numbers can be higher at popular drop-in events, the
Library strives to prioritize literacy needs in a peaceful environment.
Ms. Fiorillo thanked the Board and excused herself at 7:24 p.m
V. Discussion and Vote: Minor operational updates and corrections to the Meeting
Room Policy and Fees
Ms. Lannon reviewed minor changes to the Meeting Room Policy and fees, including
eliminating the library card requirement for room reservations, specifying that the Board
will have discretion on fundraising decisions, and clarifying wording regarding initial fees
and the timing of registrations. An additional correction regarding technical assistance
being requested five rather than seven days in advance was noted.
PegC 1 3
Motion: To accept the changes to the Meeting Room Policy and Fees as presented.

Vote: Approved SO
VI. Update Community DEI Assessment
Ms. Lannon noted that there have been several meetings with Opportunity Consulting,
as well as an implementation kickoff meeting with internal Town employees. The
consultant developed a survey and has encouraged sharing it amongst local networks to
encourage broad participation. They will conduct one-to-one interviews and small focus
groups to collect additional data. Opportunity Consulting is also analyzing data from the
Symonds Way Exploratory Committee (SWEC) survey, the Reading Center for Active
Living Committee (RECALC) survey, housing plans, and other Library and Town
information. Former Director of Equity and Social Justice Dr. Sudeshna Chatterjee is
working to move the project forward a few hours a week. Ms. Pillow-Gnanaratnam is the
Board's liaison and has scheduled an interview on September 27.
VII. Library Landscape Committee
a. Activitas Proposal for exploratory concept and design
Ms. Lannon noted the presence of Town Manager Fidel Makez and Library Landscape
Committee Chair Genady Pilyaysky, who have been invaluable through the process of
negotiating a proposal for the exploratory concept and design of the exterior Library
landscape. Ms. Lannon referred to the third version of the Activitas proposal dated
September 11, 2023. Ms. Lannon explained that the Library Landscape Committee has
met to review the proposal in a detailed manner and voted to recommend the proposal
to the Board, pending a few clarifications and changes that have since been made.
Ms. Lannon clarified for Mr. Egan that the Town Manager signs all contracts with funds
from municipal accounts, although the Board will still pay the Activitas bills. Mr. Maltez
explained that Activitas is a landscape architecture firm that the Town has worked with
on various projects for over a decade. Activitas has worked on athletic turf fields
throughout Reading and is currently working on phase one of the Birch Meadow project,
which involves a parking lot, walkway, restroom structure, and other creative
components beyond athletic fields. Mr. Maltez noted that Activitas is currently in Town,
frequently working on other projects and that the Library will be able to capitalize on
economies of scale and maximize the value of these visits by beginning this project
concurrently. The Town has been pleased with Activitas's work on other projects.
Mr. Egan expressed concems over ongoing maintenance costs. Ms. Lannon noted that
these costs are estimated and taken into consideration. Fundraising recommendations
will be presented, as well as optional phases that can be implemented at different times
when sufficient funds are available. Mr. Maltez clarified that Activitas will deliver two
design options.
Ms. Verner acknowledged the importance of marketing collateral provided by Activitas
and questioned the investigation of grants. Ms. Lannon explained that Activitas is
experienced in working through the cash Flow of municipalities and schools and may be
aware of library funding opportunities. Mr. Maltez explained that if approved, work on the
Page 1 4
proposal will begin in October and take place over a roughly three-month period. Mr.
Maltez has personally worked with Activitas, including the four professionals listed in the
contract, on other projects in Town. Mr. Popp clarified that full rights will be granted with
the design outputs of the proposal, which can be implemented with vendors other than
Acitivitas if deemed appropriate.
Ms. Verner questioned neighborhood representation on the Library Landscape
Committee. Ms. Lannon clarified that Mr. Jake Soucy is a direct abutter of the Library
and that Dr. Pilyaysky also lives in the neighborhood. Mr. Maltez explained that he is
involved in the working group for this project along with Community Development
Director Andrew MacNichol, Economic Development Director Ben Cares, and Director of
Facilities Joe Huggins. Depending on the project's scope, the Department of Public
Works and Town Engineer will also help with issues surrounding drainage, water and
sewer, and other matters.
Ms. Verner clarified that the Board is being asked to approve an expenditure of $20,350
for these phases. Ms. Lannon explained that the supplemental spending report initially
requested $20,000 and that the proposal is slightly over. Approval would gram the Town
Manager permission to move forward with Activitas. Community Services Director
Genevieve Fiorente and other leaders in Town have recommended working with
Activitas. Mr. Maltez explained that architectural work is exempt from procurement rules
requiring multiple bids. Mr. Maltez noted that the Town's existing professional
relationship with Activitas and concurrent work on other ongoing projects would help
expedite the timeline of the Library project, which may be difficult to achieve with other
vendors.
Ms. Lannon confirmed that the Library will use gift funds for the contract. Ms. Verner
questioned the 1.15 travel reimbursement rate. Mr. Maltez acknowledged the boilerplate
language of the proposal. He explained that travel expenses will be combined with other
projects in Town to reduce costs, which have been significantly reduced from the original
proposal overall.
Motion: To authorize the Town Manager to contract with Activitas in accordance with the
terms of the proposal as presented.
(Grimes / Vemer)
Vote: Approved SO
Dr. Pilyaysky and Mr. Maltez thanked the Board and excused themselves at 7:47 p.m
VIII. Tween Spot Update
Ms. Lannon noted that the Library received one response to the initial quote for custom
fabrication and installation of millwork and shelving for the bookshelf and tree designs in
the new Tween Spot. Due to an error, they have issued a second quote solicitation.
Pricing may need to be adjusted to reflect insurance and other rising costs. However,
projects over $50,000 fall under a different procurement classification. The Library is
ready to move forward with the mural and other parts of the project.
Ms. Lannon noted that the Library can proceed with the mural and purchase temporary
furniture while existing plans are reexamined and modified. Insurance coverage and
va, 15
safety are top priorities but often come at a higher cost. Mr. Popp acknowledged the
difficulty of taking a job at a low cost and questioned the possibility of splitting the job
into phases. Ms. Lannon will review requirements with the Procurement Officer but is
cautious about deliberately splitting bids. The preferred candidate is eager to begin work,
but proper procedures must be in place.
IX. Financial Report
Ms. Lannon thanked the Board for approving recent invoices and procurement card
charges. Ms. Lannon noted recent donations received, including several in memory of
Neil Miksis for purchasing carpentry and woodworking books to celebrate his livelihood.
Town Accountant Sharon Angstrom will formally close FV23 on Friday, September 15.
Finance Committee Liaison Joseph McDonagh reported that the final numbers look
good.
X. Director's Report
Ms. Lannon provided snapshots of comparative usage statistics. Ms. Verner questioned
a lack of August locker use data in August. Ms. Lannon noted that the exterior pickup
lockers were not in service in August 2022. Library usage has remained steady. Mr.
Egan complimented the Fall schedule. Ms. Filleul reflected on recent talent show
performances, and Ms. Lannon noted the positive developmental impact of
presentations and performances for children. The "1,000 Books Before Kindergarten"
program is still going strong. Due to limited wall space, a "Hall of Fame" scrapbook has
been created to help celebrate all reading achievements.
The Level 3 electric vehicle charger is undergoing a few tweaks by the Reading
Municipal Light Department (RMLD). The Library will work with RMLD to add artwork or
a custom wrap to the utility box. A broken compressor in the HVAC unit has caused
temperatures varying from 74 to 79 degrees Fahrenheit, primarily in the Reference work
room. Library staff are working remotely or in other building areas as necessary until it is
repaired.
Senior Library Associate Dawn Cofford recently celebrated her 30th work anniversary at
the Library. Former Library Pages Nemaya Wickramasinghe and Althea Culaba are
headed to the University of Connecticut and Boston University, respectively. The first
round of interviews for a new Public Services Division Head is expected to begin this
week. Sunday and substitute scheduling have been filled in through January. However,
the Library may need to hire another para or professional substitute for the Children's
Room as one of the regular substitutes has taken on a full-time position at another
library.
Ms. Lannon reported on diverse professional development activities recently completed
by Library staff. She noted that several staff members will attend the New England
Library Association (NELA) conference in Springfield, Massachusetts, in October. Mr.
Grimes questioned the "10 Million Names Project" professional development activity.
Ms. Filleul explained that it is connected to genealogy research of African-Amencan
family histories. Local History Librarian Jocelyn Gould completed the webinar and is
actively researching black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) history in Reading,
v,, 1 6
Mr. Egan questioned the status of an ongoing issue regarding missing books in the Teen
Room. Ms. Lannon and Ms. Filleul reported that the situation is under control, and the
behavior has dropped off since school resumed. Ms. Lannon noted that staffing has
been adjusted accordingly and that the priority is providing access to resources for those
who wish to use them.
XI. Approval of August 14, 2027 Meeting Minutes
Motion: To approve the minutes of the August 14, 2023, Trustee Meeting.
(Pillow-Gnanaratnam / Popp)
Vote: Approved 5-0
XII. Future Agenda Items
Mr. Egan mentioned that some residents expressed concern after the last meeting
regarding allowing people outside of Reading to participate in Public Comment.
However, public comment is for anybody and cannot be legally limited. The time and
manner of public comment can be adjusted and prioritized at the discretion of the Chair.
Due to the wide usage of the Library building and Its resources, it is reasonable that
others may make comments.
Ms. Lannon noted that Financial Forums will formally begin the FY25 budget process
starting September 20. Ms. Lannon noted that Trustees are not required to attend and
will make a report available.
Adjournment 8:08 p.m.
Motion: To Adjourn
