Copies of the policies are available at the circulation for patrons to read. The policies distributed were Library Use Rules, Patron Conduct Rules, Computer Usage Guidelines, and Internet Use Policy. No other old business at this time. New Business Guitar lessons at the library has been a huge success over the years. As the number of attendees increases so do possibility of personality conflicts with regular patrons. Nancy talked with the Board about a couple guitar students that are having conflicts with regular patrons. The majority of the students(adult and juvenile)are regular users of the library. There are a couple that only come for the lessons. Board members suggested that Mr. Engel be asked to talk with those few students about whom we have received complaints. Further complaints may result in them being asked to take their lessons at another facility. No other new business at this time.
