Communications: A card was sent on behalf of the Library Board to the family of Marcia Bergquist. Library Director will make note of it at the upcoming Council Meeting.

Director’s report: The Library Board will reach out to the Mayor for possible board candidates. September was a busy month; groups are back to regular meetings in the Club Room (Spirit Lake 4H, Mountain Iron Cub Scouts, MN Courts Youth Diversion program). Story Times are resuming this month, and we are looking forward to some great Legacy Programs.
New business: The policy manual is under review to wordsmith the collection policy, based on new MN state statutes (“Ban on Book Bans”). The Library Director will work from ALA standard forms to create a reconsideration form. We will resume this work at the next meeting before submitting the changes to the council for approval.
We are considering a change to the regular meeting times, as Dana Sorensen is unable to make it to the meetings if they are held on the 2nd Wednesday of the month. We will continue this discussion next month.
Old Business: No old business
