Title
Approving revised policies for the Pflugerville Public Library.
 
Summary
In the interest of keeping Library policies relevant and updated, the Library Board examines them once every two years. A few things have changed at the Library since the summer of 2012, including the completion of our expansion. Accordingly, the policies have been amended in the following ways:
 
·      Pflugerville Community Library has been replaced by Pflugerville Public Library.
·      Library proscriptions have been extended to included unauthorized postings of materials at the Library.
·      The 3D printer policies, approved by the Library Board & the City attorney, have been incorporated  into the main body of Library policies.
·      Meeting Room & Display policies, approved by the Library Board & the City attorney in July of 2013, have been incorporated into the main body of Library policies.
·      The Library Fee Schedule has  been amended to eliminate a fiscally negligible fine for small damages which calls for substantial staff training & can be perceived as subjective by patrons.
Status
All of these changes were formally approved by the Library Board at their meeting of August 13, 2014.
