The Chamber of Commerce is partnering with the library to collect 2500 books for children's programs. M.

Thorup noted the success of the Alexander McCall Smith event with between 450 and 500 people attending.
L. Speer has been accepted into UA SeeChange, a 7 -month course instructed by Dr. Margaret Reed for
people involved with nonprofits. S. Foley announced a P&G grant of $5,000 for Reading Road Show. The
fourth certification has been submitted for the NEH grant. L. Speer is meeting with Fayetteville High School
librarians to pursue partnership opportunities. 3.) March 2011 performance measures — S. Thorup reported
March's circulation was the highest in FPL history, despite an 8% dip in visits due to 7 closed days/late
openings in February. The high circulation combined with the several closed days suggests that electronic
resources are being heavily used. Approximately 7,000 cardholders whose accounts had been inactive for at
least 3 years were purged. 4.) Chart of the meeting — Volunteer hours are steadily climbing. 5.) Special
announcements: Sarah Terry has resigned for a new position. The Master Gardeners of Fayetteville have
adopted the FPL grounds as their project for 2011. They will begin May 1. B.) Financial reports: Fines
and fees are down slightly due, in part, to the decrease in DVD fines. Staff will monitor this trend and keep
the board apprised. FPL funds at Merrill Lynch have been moved to First Security Bank in Fayetteville.
V. Old business. A.) Teen area expansion: S. Palmer noted the expansion is ahead of schedule. The first coat
of paint is on; we are waiting on furniture orders. B.) CCTV upgrade: The upgrade is about half done with

expenditure; S. Clark seconded. All voted aye. C.) Technology upgrade opportunity - conveyor system: FPL
has the opportunity to upgrade - at a steeply discounted price - from its current high -maintenance pneumatic
system to an all electric system with a non-proprietary platform. M. Rice moved to allocate up to $100,000
from unrestricted reserves to be used only as needed to supplement existing budget resources and only if the
city purchasing department confirms this project does not have to be bid. S. Clark seconded. All voted aye.
D.) Staff presentations: L. Speer showcased Universal Class which allows all FPL card holders access to
online classes that provide CEUs. L. Yandell demonstrated FPL's new website designed to be a true digital
branch with improved functionality and fully integrated patron accounts.

mark libraries having hosted a tour of librarians from Lawrence, KS. DVDs are on our shelves the afternoon of
the day they are first released. Self -checks now include a "no receipt" option. Staff training in January
included customer service and front line advocacy. Friends elected new officers and have transitioned to an
online membership system. Volunteers now track their time electronically. Seven DVD players circulate and
Blu-ray players will be purchased when the price drops. 3.) December 2010 Performance Measures — S. Thorup
reported that while a few measures decreased, overall performance is high, often exceeding targets. For the 3rd
year in a row, checkouts exceeded 1 million — the mbst for any single library in AR. Collection size was up 10%.

FAYETTEVILLE PUBLIC LIBRARY
Memo
To: Board of Trustees, Fayetteville Public Library
From: Laura Speer, Director of Library Services; Catherine Rew, Director of Administrative Services; &
Shawna Thorup, Executive Director
Date: June 6, 2011
Re: Let's Talk About It grant
Background
In spring 2011, staff applied for a grant from the American Library Association, Let's Talk About It: Making
Sense of the American Civil War. The goal of this grant is to allow libraries to provide sesquicentennial
programming to examine the meanings of the U.S. Civil War in a scholar -led reading and discussion series.
Analysis
The library was informed on June 1, 2011, by e-mail of the $3,000 grant award. FPL was one of 65 libraries
nationwide out of an applicant pool of 175.
Grant funding will be used for Willow Fitzgibbon, Acting Adult Services Team Leader, to travel to the
mandatory orientation workshop for the library project director and for project -related programming
expenses (e.g., scholar honorarium, publicity, and other support materials).
Recommendation
Accept $3,000 from the American Library Association. Allocate $1,000 each into the following three budget
lines: 1) Travel & Training; 2) Adult Programming; and 3) Materials.
FAYETTEVILLE PUBLIC LIBRARY
Memo
To: Board of Trustees, Fayetteville Public Library
From: Shawna Thorup, Executive Director and Catherine Rew, Director of Administrative Services
Date: June 20, 2011
Re: Policy FB: Budget Preparation and Adjustments
Background
In March 2011, the City of Fayetteville revised its Budget Adjustments Policy (BR -01). Following standard
practice, the Director of Administrative Services and the Executive Director reviewed the revisions and
compared it to the Library's analogous policy.
Policy FB: Budget Preparation and Adjustments has not been reviewed since the Executive Director
updated job titles listed in it on February 14, 2008. It seems likely the Director at that time made only
cosmetic changes to the policy as it was not brought before the Board.
Analysis
The City's policy deals with budget adjustments and amendments. It indentifies responsible parties and
the process for adjusting and amending the budget. It does not specify set point dollar amounts, and
instead takes a broad approach.
After evaluating the two policies, we suggest bringing the Library policy into conformity with the City policy.
A proposed draft introduces budget amendments, responsible parties and the process for adjusting and
amending the budget. Comparable to the City policy, it takes a broad approach. Because the Library is not
as large or complex an organization as the City, its policy is more compact.
Recommendation
Consider revising Policy FB to conform with the City's analogous and recently updated policy.
1
ORIGINAL
Policy Name Budget Preparation and Adjustments
Code FB1
Date Approved 2121/05
Date Revised 2/14/08(D)
1. PURPOSE:
The purpose of this policy and procedure is to identify the policy and responsibilities for budget preparation.
2. 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. 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).
A budget adjustment is a change in the authorized budget, either revenue or expense. A budget adjustment transfers a
specific dollar amount from one line item, or specific item within a line item, to another, thereby decreasing one budget
and increasing another. Since it is a change in allocated funds, great care must be taken and only changes for good
reason will be accepted.
3. TYPES OF BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS:
There are basically three (3) types of budget adjustments. These are:
a. Adjustments of over $10,000;
b. Adjustments of $1,001 to $10,000; and
c. Adjustments of $0 to $1,000 in the same account classification
4. RESPONSIBILITIES AND PROCEDURES — TYPE A:
Budget adjustments of over $10,001 must be approved by the Board of Trustees. It is the responsibility of the Director
of Administrative Services to prepare a budget adjustment whenever required. The adjustment is presented to the
Executive Director as an agenda item. It is the responsibility of the Executive Director to place the adjustment on the
next agenda of the Library to Board of Trustees and advise the Board of any consequences.
5. RESPONSIBILITIES AND PROCEDURES — TYPE B:
Budget adjustments of $1,001 to $10,000 may be authorized by the Executive Director. This type of adjustment may
be initiated by a Manager or by the Director of Administrative Services. It is the responsibility of the Director of
Administrative Services to prepare the budget adjustment whenever required.
6. RESPONSIBILITIES AND PROCEDURES —TYPE C:
Budget adjustments of $1,000 or less within a department may be authorized by the Director of Administrative
Services. This type of adjustment may be initiated by a Manager or the Director of Administrative Services. It is the
responsibility of the Director of Administrative Services to prepare the budget adjustment whenever required.
7. PREPARATION OF THE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT:
Implementation of the budget adjustment will provide the following:
1. Documentation for all revisions to the approved budget
2. Documentation of proper approval and authorization by the Manager and the Board of Trustees as required
PROPOSED
Code FB
Date Approved 2/21/05
Date Revised 2/14/08(D); 6/20/11
Policy Name Budget Preparation, Adjustments and Amendments
PURPOSE: This policy and procedure defines and standardizes the responsibilities for budget preparation and budget
adjustments.
1. 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. Managers are responsible for all aspects of their departmental and
program budgets and for adhering to all deadlines set forth in the process.
2. DEFINITIONS
a. A Budget Adjustment is a change in the authorized budget expense line. A budget adjustment
transfers a specific dollar amount from one line item,; or specific item within a line item, to another.
b. A Budget Amendment is an increase in overall revenues and an increase in total expenditure
amount.
3. All Directors, Managers, and Team Leaders are responsible for staying within their adopted budget(s) as
allocated by the Executive Director. Neither the Office Manager nor Director of Administrative Services will
process payments or purchase orders, which will cause a program to be over the annual budget amount.
Requested adjustments to an operational program must be submitted to the ED with sufficient justification for
the need. All adjustments need to be processed prior to an overage occurring.
4. RESPONSIBILITIES AND PROCEDURES
a. Budget Amendments recognize revenue and/or donations and will require approval by the Board of
Directors as well as the Dept. Manager, Director of Library Services, Director of Administrative
Services and Executive Director.
b. Budget Adjustments between expense line items will be made with the approvals of the Director of
Library Services, Director of Administrative Services and Executive Director.
5. PREPARATION OF THE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT AND/OR AMENDMENT: Implementation of the budget
adjustment will provide the following:
a. Documentation for all revisions to the approved budget.
b. Documentation of proper approval and authorization by the Dept. Manager, Director of Library
Services, Director of Administrative Services and Executive Director and the Board of Trustees as
required.
c. The Director of Administrative Services shall have the authority to make the final determination as to
which type of adjustment is necessary.

Mission Statement (draft)
We inspire imagination and foster learning.
Introduction
The study area is the City of Fayetteville. Key
issues facing the library include stretching its
budget in an environment of decreased funding;
increasing usage; and making people aware of
the relevant resources offered by the library.
With the information contained in this report,
the library will be able to identify the range of
market segments present in Fayetteville, and
begin to decide which ones to focus on and what
services to offer them. The information
contained in this report should help the library,
in concert with other data and studies, to
subsequently develop a marketing campaign,
prioritize actions to pursue, consider election
support for dedicated funding sources, and
consider how to best reach existing and
prospective customers (for example, through a
branch, bookmobile, or digital collections).
The following maps provide a contextual
overview of the city and library location:
> Map 1: City of Fayetteville
> Map 2: Library Location Detail
Market Profile Summary
Market Profile data are provided by
BusinessDecision.
> Population Change, Figure 1
Between 2000 and 2015 the city's population is
forecast to grow by 27.1 percent, an increase of
21,568 people from 58,047 people to 79,615
people. Going forward, between 2010 and 2015,
the city is forecast to grow at a much slower
pace of 6.3 percent, an increase of 5,002 people
from 74,613 people to 79,615 people.
> Household Change, Figure 2
Reflecting population growth, households are
forecast to grow by 27.3 percent or 8,197
households from 23,798 households in 2000 to
32,715 households in 2015. The current year
estimate is 30,563 households up 22.1 percent
from Census 2000.
> Home Ownership, Figure 3
Fayetteville has an unusual home ownership
ratio. Owner -occupied housing is extraordinarily
low: fewer than four in ten homes are owner -
occupied (39.5 percent). Between 2000 and 2015
owner -occupied housing rates have remained
flat while vacancy rates have nearly doubled
from 6.6 percent in 2000 to 12.6 percent in 2010.
The decreasing population and household
growth rates, combined with the higher vacancy
rate will damper new apartment construction. In
2000 there were 25,467 housing units. By 2015,
there is a projected 50 percent increase of 12,665
units to 38,132 units.
> Household Income, Figure 4
By 2015, in projected inflation adjusted dollars
and accounting for the current recession through
December 2009, Fayetteville is forecast to be
somewhat more affluent especially in the income
range between $50,000 and $149,999. There will
be fewer households with incomes below
4
