Jackson Madison County Library Board of Trustees Meeting January 23

The Jackson Madison County Library Board met today, January 23.

Dinah Harris was present. She is the new director of the Jackson Madison County library.

Dinah has started her tenure with a survey about the library about how the library can better serve its patrons. 

A link to the survey can be found here.

The board is ending their contract with Library Systems and Services Inc, or LSSI. The library is in a transitional period right now, but it is transitioning to local control. 

In this meeting, the board discussed their new self checkout machine which is not operatioinal at the moment, but they are arranging to get that resolved.

The board also passed a motion to not purchase anymore books from their current provider in order to have a clean break from LSSI, but new books will be ordered using local money.
