Expand Kitchen Programming
We are assessing the demand and scheduling
of community culinary classes and kitchen
workforce development programs in an effort to
increase their frequency. We determined this was
necessary after seeing the high demand of our
current offerings – class registrations usually fill
up within minutes and often have large waitlists.
Human Library
The 2025 Human Library initiative aims to
cultivate understanding and empathy within the
community by enabling individuals to “borrow”
human “books,” a.k.a. people who share their
personal stories and experiences. The program’s
objectives are to promote dialogue, enhance
empathy, and address misconceptions to
ultimately build a stronger and more
connected community.
Authority Project
Following the library’s migration to a new
Integrated Library System, the Technical Services
department is set to launch an authority project
to refine the records of all library materials. This
initiative will improve catalog accuracy and make
it easier for users to locate materials.
Improving Library Wayfinding
The Marketing & Communications department
seeks to collaborate with a human-centered
design consultant to enhance wayfinding
throughout its facilities. This initiative will focus on
creating intuitive, accessible, and user-friendly
navigation solutions, ensuring patrons and guests
can easily navigate the library. By improving
wayfinding efficiency, we aim to foster a more
inclusive and welcoming environment for
all visitors.

Fayetteville Public Library
FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS
Financial Policies
The purpose of this section is to present the policies that the Fayetteville Public Library (FPL) follows
in managing its financial, budgetary and purchasing affairs. These are general statements of policies,
which represent long-standing principles, traditions, and practices that have guided FPL in
maintaining financial stability.
REVENUE POLICY
FPL will strive to maintain a broad and diversified revenue base that will protect FPL from short-term
fluctuations in any one revenue source.
FPL will maintain timely collection systems and implement necessary enforcement strategies to
collect revenues from available sources.
FPL will project revenues on a conservative basis so that actual revenues will consistently meet or
exceed budgeted revenues.
FPL will maintain a budgetary control system and will prepare reports that compare actual revenues
to budgeted amounts.
FPL will limit the designation of the Operating Fund revenues for specified purposes to maximize
flexibility in budgeting and revenue utilization.
EXPENDITURE POLICY
Basic and essential services provided by FPL will receive first priority for funding.
FPL will strive to adopt a balanced budget, by fund, for all funds maintained by FPL, in which total
anticipated revenues must equal or exceed the budgeted expenditures for each fund. However, if this
cannot be attained, FPL will utilize unallocated fund reserves, which have been carried forward from
prior years.
FPL will maintain a budgetary control system to ensure adherence to the adopted budget and will
prepare reports that compare actual expenditures to budgeted amounts.
FPL will attempt to refrain from budgeting non-recurring or one-time revenue for ongoing expenses.
FPL will provide access to medical, dental, life, and long-term disability insurance for its employees.
The cost for medical benefits will be a shared responsibility between FPL and eligible employees.
FPL will provide access to appropriate retirement plans for its employees. FPL will make
contributions for eligible employees at the percentage defined for the retirement plan.
XI
INVESTMENT AND CASH MANAGEMENT POLICY
FPL will deposit all receipts on a timely basis.
FPL will strive to maximize the return on its investment portfolio without jeopardizing principal
amounts.
FPL will limit its investments to the types of securities provided for by Arkansas statutes.
FPL will diversify its investments by maturity date to protect against market fluctuations.
FPL will purchase securities from qualified institutions based on competitive bids in an effort to
obtain the highest available rates.
CASH AND INVESTMENT RESERVE POLICY
FPL will strive to maintain five (5) months operations and maintenance expenses in cash and
investment reserves between the Operating Investments and Long Term Investments.
FPL shall maintain designated investments to provide cash needed to replace and/or repair the
facility, furniture and equipment, and information technology infrastructure in the event of a
catastrophic event.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT POLICY
FPL will prepare and update, as needed, a five-year Capital Improvements Program (CIP), which will
provide for the orderly maintenance, replacement, and expansion of capital assets.
The CIP will identify long-range capital projects and capital improvements of all types, which will be
coordinated with the annual operating budget to maintain full utilization of available revenue sources.
When preparing the CIP, FPL will seek to identify all viable capital projects and capital improvements
required during the subsequent five-year period. These projects and improvements will be
prioritized by year and by funding source. Every attempt will be made to match projects and
improvements with available funding sources. Future operating costs associated with a project or an
improvement will also be given consideration in the establishment of priorities.
FPL will seek Federal, State, and other funding to assist in financing capital projects and capital
improvements.
FPL will seek input from the public by holding public hearings in relation to the establishment of
major projects and major project priorities.
FPL will incorporate the reasonable findings and recommendations of the FPL Board appointed
committees and citizen task forces as they relate to capital projects and improvements.
XII
FINANCIAL REPORTING POLICY
FPL's accounting system will maintain records in accordance with accounting standards and
principles outlined by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB), and the State of Arkansas.
FPL will employ an independent accounting firm to perform an annual audit of FPL's finances and
make the annual audit available to all required and interested parties. The audit shall be completed
and submitted to the State of Arkansas within 210 days of the close of the fiscal year.
FPL will produce monthly and quarterly financial statements reporting the current periods’ activity
for all funds maintained by FPL.
FPL will prepare an annual budget document that provides a basic understanding of FPL's planned
financial operations for the coming fiscal year. Copies of the proposed and final budget will be made
available to all interested parties and opportunities will be provided for citizen input prior to final
decisions on the budget.
BUDGET PREPARATION, AMENDMENTS, and ADJUSTMENTS
PURPOSE: The purpose of this policy is to identify responsibilities for budget preparation,
amendments, and adjustments.
POLICY: The Library staff will create, as much as is possible, a budget which will accurately account
for the Library’s operations for the coming fiscal year on a budget category and department level.
Managers are responsible for all aspects of their budgets and for adhering to all deadlines set forth in
the process. All Managers are responsible for staying within their adopted budget(s) as amended.
A budget amendment is defined as an increase to a Board of Trustees (BOT) approved expenditure
budget.
A budget adjustment is defined as a change in line items within a departmental budget. Adjustments
do not increase spending.
BUDGET AMENDMENTS:
Amendments of $10,000 or more to a BOT approved departmental budget: These must be approved
by the Board of Trustees. It is the responsibility of the Department Director/Manager in coordination
with the Chief Financial Officer to prepare a budget amendment for consideration by the Executive
Director as an agenda item. It is the responsibility of the Executive Director to place the amendment
on the next agenda of the Library Board of Trustees and advise the Board of any consequences.
Amendments of less than $10,000 to a BOT approved departmental budget: These may be authorized
by the Executive Director. This type of amendment shall be initiated by a Department
Director/Manager and by the Chief Financial Officer. It is the responsibility of the Department
Director/Manager in coordination with the Chief Financial Officer to prepare the budget amendment.
Amendments that reflect a restricted revenue and a related expenditure: The Department
Director/Manager and Chief Financial Officer will prepare the budget amendment and supporting
XIII
documentation for the Executive Director. The Executive Director may approve the budget
amendment or may refer the amendment to the Board of Trustees for approval/disapproval.
BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS:
Adjustments reallocate previously approved funding from one expenditure category to another
expenditure category within the same department. Adjustments do NOT authorize increased
spending. Department Directors/Managers are authorized to reallocate funding within their
departments, except for personnel services, with the approval of the Executive Director.
PURCHASING POLICY
The Executive Director is authorized to execute all purchases as long as the Board of Trustees adopted
budget, as adjusted or amended, contains the appropriation for the purchase. Bids and quotations
where the budget must be amended more than $10,000 shall be submitted to the Board of Trustees
for approval.
For purchases under $1,999, an informal quote is needed; purchases between $2,000 and $19,999
require three (3) written/internet quotes unless available through a negotiated contract or sole
source.
Formal bids and quotations will be solicited for purchases with an estimated cost over $20,000.
These will be obtained in compliance with state purchasing law and FPL Board of Trustees policies,
The Executive Director or designee may authorize emergency purchases in cases where human life or
health, library property, or functional capability of the library is endangered.
The Executive Director is authorized to award bids, quotations, and execute contracts for purchases in
excess of $20,000 subject to a budget line, as adjusted, containing the funding for the bid or quoted
item or service.
A purchase order shall be issued for all purchases that encompass multiple fiscal years and require
formal bids. Exceptions to this requirement are:

Maintenance
Program Description, Goals, and Objectives:
One of the primary goals of the Fayetteville Public Library is the development and maintenance of an excellent
materials collection. This includes the selection, acquisition, organization, circulation, and promotion of fiction,
nonfiction, and audiovisual materials in a variety of formats for both youth and adults. The Library Materials
Department ensures the Fayetteville Public Library’s collections are developed and maintained to represent the
varied interests and perspectives in Fayetteville’s community. Youth collections emphasize materials that
encourage and enforce literacy development including picture books, step-up-to-chapter books, graphic novels
and manga, audiobooks, eBooks, and youth and teen fiction and nonfiction. Adult collection highlights include
popular and award-winning fiction and nonfiction books; e-audiobooks and eBooks; popular, foreign, and
documentary films; a burgeoning world languages collection; and a robust genealogy collection. Each year
librarians add depth to the collections with infusions that bolster holdings in interest or in under-
represented/outdated areas.
Downloadable resource collections assist patrons who prefer digital reading or who require after-hours access to
materials, as the digital resources remain available 24/7. E-audiobooks and eBooks continue see high demand.
All collections are provided to meet the individual’s need for information; to help the individual pursue life-long
learning and cultural growth; to provide the means for thoughtful and productive participation by individuals and
groups in the affairs of the community, the nation and the world; to support the educational, governmental, cultural,
recreational, and economic activities within the community; to foster diversity; and to accommodate the library
needs of a changing and dynamic community.
In 2025, the Library Materials - Circulating department's goals are the following:
Maintain balanced, diverse, and relevant collections in print, media, reference, and downloadable resources
with special attention to assessing and balancing e-content collections.
Maintain holds ratios of 5 (holds): 1 (copy).
Increase ebook/eaudiobook collections.

Program Description, Goals, and Objectives:
The Circulation Services Department’s mission is to provide an excellent customer experience to all of the
Fayetteville Public Library’s patrons as they use the library’s services and resources. We seek to streamline and
improve our processes to create a pleasant and engaging experience for all library visitors. As a department, we
provide service at the Welcome Desk, Level 200 Lobby Desk, and as needed throughout the library. We
manage patron accounts which include creating accounts for new patrons and assisting patrons with checking
materials in and out, placing holds, and requesting new collection materials. We answer patron questions in
person, over the phone, and through email. We also help patrons find their way throughout the building and
accept payments for fines, bookstore items, etc. Circulation staff is responsible for the handling of physical
items. We sort returned materials and items used in the library, and we review each for repair or withdrawal. We
shelve returned materials for the next patron to find. We also retrieve and place requested items on hold for
patrons.
In 2025, the Circulation Services department's goals are the following:
Provide outstanding customer service in person, online, via curbside, and via phone.
Strive for more convenient and efficient workflows for patrons and staff.
Promote library services and events.

Program Description, Goals, and Objectives:
The Technical Services Department's main function is to provide access to newly acquired materials. Technical
Services staff works closely with other departments to order, receive, and route new materials as quickly as
possible. All aspects of acquisitions of new materials takes place in Technical Services. This includes placing
orders by creating purchase orders, monitoring funds, receiving and paying invoices, resolving any issues, and
maintaining the fiscal year and budget in the library's integrated library system. New materials are received and
inspected for quality, and any damaged during shipping are returned expediently. Volunteers and staff cover
books and prepare cases, boxes, and bags to prepare materials for circulation. Accurate and thorough physical
processing using quality supplies aids the longevity of the collections. Staff catalog materials by acquiring or
creating bibliographic records. Monthly database maintenance preserves the integrity of the online catalog. This
includes deleting withdrawn materials and replacing inaccurate or obsolete records. Access to accurate
bibliographic data allows patrons to easily identify and locate the materials needed. As part of a reciprocal
borrowing agreement, staff also maintains its holdings with OCLC (Online Computer Library Center). This allows
the Fayetteville Public Library and other libraries within the OCLC consortium to borrow and lend materials,
providing even greater access to materials for patrons.
In 2025, the Technical Services department's goals are the following:
Acquire new materials by placing orders, receiving and paying invoices, monitoring funds and fiscal year
through Koha.
Catalog acquisitions accurately and efficiently to ensure that patrons and staff are able to easily identify and
locate library materials through Koha and Aspen Discovery.
Maintain the data integrity of the catalog and collections.

Program Description, Goals, and Objectives:
The Community Engagement Department supports the library's commitment to providing free and public access
to library services by working collaboratively with internal departments, volunteers, library patrons, community
members and partner organizations. We promote diverse library patronage and involvement through volunteer
opportunities and community outreach. Volunteers provide vital, weekly operational assistance to all
departments and ensure special author events, programs and outreach activities are fully supported. Our
outreach efforts serve youth to aging populations, address pre-kindergarten readiness, food insecurity,
developing healthy habits and building confidence in reading. We cultivate relationships with and offer
programming for our diverse community members and their needs. FPL On Wheels bookmobile visits are fun
and engaging, bringing relevant and responsive library services, collections, information, and technology to
members of our community who may face barriers to library access.
In 2025, the Community Engagement department's goals are the following:
Continue to provide quality volunteers for daily operations, special events, and programs, with attention
paid to identifying new and ongoing opportunities.
Continue to expand access to library services, programs, information and technology through FPL on
Wheels.
Continue to evaluate existing outreach programs and explore opportunities that build and cultivate new
and existing community connections.
Continue to provide educational programming or resources and bookmobile visits or pop-up libraries
geared toward multilingual audiences.

well as their families and caregivers. We strive to offer programs that entertain, educate, and enrich children and
families.
Weekly story times are a cornerstone of library programming. We offer weekly story times for babies, toddlers,
and preschoolers. We offer a variety of creative programming for this age group including baby and toddler play
time, sensory programs, preschool crafts, music and movement, and performers. We provide a number of
outreach programs each year to schools or daycares by request; in addition, we welcome school groups of all
ages to tour our library through a field trip in collaboration with Community Engagement.
We have a variety of school age programs we offer, including homework help, afterschool workshops, make
and take programs, art programs, craft programs, science, and community engagement programs such as
educational programs by the fire department or the Arkansas Game and Fish Nature Center.
Guest performers and special programs are a fun aspect of our programming and one of the central ways we
welcome families to discover our library. We have large performances most Saturdays that feature presenters
like magicians or musical acts. Special events– celebrations like Sweets with Santa, St. Patrick’s Day, and
Halloween include large performances, crafts, and food.
The largest aspect of our programming is our Summer Reading Club, in which we encourage families to make
the library a weekly part of their summer routine with events, challenges, programs, reading logs, and prizes.
We want each family who encounters our library to find something great while here – either through a craft
program, a favorite book, or a helpful staff interaction.
In all of our programming we strive to monitor trends, technology, diversity, and patron requests. We want all
children and teens to find something engaging when they walk in the doors of FPL. Our spaces lend themselves
to staying a while – we want our staff to support this and represent FPL through helpful customer interactions
that promote our resources.
Collections: The Youth and Teen Services Department provides engagement, enrichment, and education
through our collections. Our collections are meant to inspire children, teens and families to read more, to like
what they see and be on a continual journey of discovering more books and exploring more interests. Our Youth
and Teen Collections are divided in a way to meet the needs of the reader. As the reader grows from child to
young adult, the collection grows with them. The collection, also, is a resource for parents. The parent who is
supporting their child as they learn to read will find resources to match them where they are, from Easy Reader
to Step-Up to Chapter. The Teen non fiction collection, for example, is there as a resource for teens figuring out
everything from college choices to their personal style. E-Books are a vital part of our collection, providing
reading material both on a device and in audio format. This collection in particular is used by Fayetteville Public
Schools, with an I-Card that enables access.
Customer Service: The Youth and Teen Services Department supports our patrons by providing excellent and
friendly customer service. Library patrons browsing our collections are not just using the library – they are
actively making the library a community resource. We strive to engage patrons, support their reading interests,
educate them on unknown resources, promote programs, provide computer help, provide research assistance
for school projects, and answer a myriad of questions about books and resources. Our staff also strives to make
FPL a friendly and welcoming place to be. We want all families to feel comfortable here and to view our spaces
as a safe, clean, and welcoming spot for their family to spend an afternoon.

In 2025, the Youth & Teen Services department's goals are the following:
Continue all regular weekly and monthly programs and events for children, teens, and families; use
programs as opportunities to promote library services including but not limited to the collection, library card
registration, and the deli.
Provide consistent and helpful customer service at all points of service. Proactively seek to help and
promote resources. Use patron interactions as opportunities to promote online resources, pathfinders, and
library services such as study rooms, notary services, and programs.
Tie programs to collection resources and actively promote those; use programming incentives to
encourage check outs such as for holidays or events.
Maintain collections. Evaluate, weed, and add resources to enrich the community and collection itself.
Develop pathfinders and collection resources, including internal book lists, to help in reader's advisory and
patron interactions.
Offer an engaging Summer Reading program for the community. Continue to promote through FPS and
other schools. Increase drop-in, multi age programs in summer. Promote group SRC registration and offer
incentives to camps and daycares who participate.
Record metrics for all programs by tracking programs offered, age groups, participants and a chance for
customer feedback. Track metrics of SRC including registrants, participation, and minutes read.

Reduce errors and mistakes that create additional workload for the events team and other departmental
workloads.
Increase bookings in slower months, ex. January, February and December.
Program Description, Goals, and Objectives:
The Events department has continued to collaborate effectively with the FPL team to improve efficiency. We
have maintained profitability while delivering top-quality services to both internal and external clients. Our top
achievement for 2024 has been the marked improvement in efficiency and callback time. Looking ahead, the
Events team will implement new software systems designed to reduce labor loads by 50%. Currently, our study
rooms and event spaces are nearing full capacity. Although the Event Center has potential for further growth,
there will be a shortage of personnel to manage additional events. For 2024, we projected 700 room usages; the
Events team far exceeded those numbers with a current projected usage of over 2,000 room usages and over
10,000 total study room usages by end of 2024. Additionally, our team will oversee several major community
events, including Summer Reading Kickoff, Health Fair, Maker Faire, True Lit, and various music and author
events requested by programmers. We also oversee significant non-profit events, such as the Arkansas
Children's Hospital Gala of Hope Banquet, Firemen Banquet, Policemen Banquet, Hall of Honor, Hall of Greats,
and Razorback Foundation Gala. However, budget constraints and increased workload have limited the ability
of the Events team to expand adding new staff. Despite experiencing significant growth in 2024, we anticipate in
2025 to have similar resource constraints.
In 2025, the Events department's goals are the following:
