Item 4.a
Library Services
DATE: July 14, 2026
TO: Library Board of Trustees
FROM: Shaun Briley, Library Services Director
SUBJECT: Patron Comment Report
These suggestions were submitted in June 2026, via the Connection Card Suggestion Box in the
library, Suggestions and Comments form on the library’s page on the City’s website, and
Feedback Suggestions from the library catalog.
1. I understand that these days most people use their laptops at the library, but still reading
light is important. I wish you could repair reading lights at the desks.
Connection Card dated 6/2/26
No contact information provided
Response requested? No
(Staff checked the reading lights, and three of the 40 desk light bulbs were not working. Work
orders were submitted. If a desk does not have power, there is a sign indicating that fact.)
2. Thank you, Ashley! On 5/29/26 my computer went blank – no power. Ashley moved me
to another computer, then got down into the wiring and brought that “bad computer” back
to life.
Connection Card dated 6/3/26
Contact information provided
Response requested? No
3. Hello, Just wanted to offer some ideas for images on the library card! I thought
something showcasing Coronado would be really awesome! Maybe something with the
Wizard of Oz, Coronado Bridge or Hotel del would look great on the library card.
Connection Card received 6/3/26

Response requested? Yes

Item 4.a
Library Services
We recently received your Connection Card with suggestions for artwork for our library cards.
Thank you, we appreciate you taking the time to share these suggestions and will take them into
consideration if we decide to redesign our library cards.
3. Using the phone app or library computer – you cannot find out the due date when a book
is due!
Oftentimes, books are overdue that have holds on them.
This needs to be corrected. People need to see when a book that has been taken out is
due!
Connection Card received 6/25/26
No contact information provided
Response requested? No
(Due dates are visible when using the library’s website to view the catalog but do not display on
the app. While many patrons diligently return items on time, not all patrons return items on the
due date and hence these dates can create disappointed expectations. The library no longer
charges fines for overdue items as an incentive for timely return. Notices are sent to patrons about
their overdue items. Patrons who do not return an item by the due date are unable to make further
checkouts without speaking to staff at the circulation desk. After an item is overdue for three
months, the patron is billed for its replacement, and the item shows as BILLED in the catalog. At
six months, that patron’s lending privileges are entirely blocked and the item shows as LOST in
the catalog.)
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS, IDEAS, AND SUGGESTIONS!
NOTE: Requests for specific books, movies, and other Library materials
are given to the appropriate Library staff member and are considered
during regular purchases of Library materials.

LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES STAFF REPORT
Review and Revision of Policy 13, Organizational Dues, Meetings & Professional Publications
RECOMMENDATION
Consider minor revision to Policy 13, Organizational Dues, Meetings & Professional Publications.
BACKGROUND
As part of the Board's ongoing review of Library Policies, staff and the Board’s Policy Subcommittee of
Trustees Hall and Webb, have evaluated Policy 13 to determine whether revisions are necessary to
reflect current governance practices and operational needs.
Following review, staff and the Board’s Policy Subcommittee conclude that the policy remains current,
accurately reflects the Board's intent, and continues to provide appropriate guidance regarding
professional development and educational opportunities for Trustees, the Library Director, and library
staff. There is, however, one update to remove a reference to an obsolete entity.
ANALYSIS
Policy 13 establishes the Board's commitment to supporting professional development, continuing
education, and participation in professional organizations, while emphasizing that such expenditures are
to be made consistent with budget constraints and fiscal responsibility.
The policy appropriately recognizes that participation in library conferences, professional meetings,
educational activities, and professional associations contributes to informed governance, effective library
management, and the continued professional development of staff.
The policy maintains appropriate Board oversight by providing that Trustee participation in professional
activities and subscriptions to library-related publications are subject to Board approval, while authorizing
the Library Director to recommend professional development opportunities for staff. This allocation of
responsibilities remains consistent with the Board's governance role and the Library Director's
responsibility for administration.
Staff have identified no inconsistencies with the Board's current Bylaws, City administrative practices, or
other Library policies. The policy continues to provide clear direction while allowing sufficient flexibility to
respond to changing professional development opportunities and available funding.
A reference to the now defunct California Association of Library Trustees and Commissioners (CALTAC)
has been removed.
FISCAL IMPACT
The policy continues to provide guidance for expenditures from the Board managed Library Fund.
ALTERNATIVE
The Board may retain Policy 13 as is or recommend further changes.

Item 6.c
LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES STAFF REPORT
Review and Revision of Policy 22, Timetable for Board/Library Task Accomplishments
RECOMMENDATION
Consider revisions to Policy 22, Timetable for Board/Library Task Accomplishments, to improve
consistency with the City's budget process, accurately reflect current governance responsibilities, and
eliminate duplicative scheduling provisions.
BACKGROUND
As part of the Board's ongoing review of Library policies, staff and the Board’s Policy Subcommittee of
Trustees Hall and Webb, have evaluated Policy 22 to ensure it remains consistent with current
governance practices, Board Bylaws, and City administrative processes. Minor revisions are proposed
to improve accuracy, eliminate duplication, and better reflect current practice.
ANALYSIS
The proposed amendments are limited to two substantive areas.
Budget Process
The first revision clarifies the Board's role in establishing annual goals and objectives that have fiscal
implications.
Under the City's budget process, budgetary items with a fiscal impact are ultimately considered and
approved by the City Council as part of the City's annual budget process. While the Library Board
establishes strategic priorities and provides policy direction, only those goals requiring budgetary
resources are incorporated into the City's adopted budget document. The proposed revision updates the
policy to more accurately reflect this governance and budget approval process.
Annual Review Schedule
The second revision removes references assigning specific policy reviews and other Board activities to
designated months of the year.
These scheduling details are recorded in the Library Board of Trustees Timetable, a living document that
is reviewed and approved by the Board at each regular meeting and updated as necessary. Including
fixed monthly assignments within Policy 22 is therefore duplicative and can become outdated when
meeting schedules or Board priorities change.
The proposed revision also removes the reference to the Board's annual review of Resolutions in
December. This is no longer the Board's practice and has been discontinued.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
ALTERNATIVE
The Board can reject the proposed revisions or recommend further revisions.

LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES STAFF REPORT
Review and Revisions to Policy 24, Library Exhibits & Display of Unsolicited Material
RECOMMENDATION
Consider amendments to Policy 24, Library Exhibits & Display of Unsolicited Material, to remove outdated
provisions that no longer reflect the Library's use of its facilities or mission while preserving the policy's
guidance regarding the display of unsolicited materials.
BACKGROUND
As part of the Board's ongoing review of Library policies, staff and the Board’s Policy Subcommittee of
Trustees Hall and Webb, have evaluated Policy 24 to ensure it accurately reflects current library practice
while preserving the policy's guidance regarding the display of unsolicited materials. The revisions
remove outdated restrictions on art exhibits while retaining provisions that continue to serve an important
operational purpose.
ANALYSIS
The policy addresses what may be displayed in the library and where.
Library Art Exhibits
The current policy includes a prohibition on maintaining an art gallery within the library, while providing
only a limited exception for artwork used as interpretive material related to the library's collection.
This language no longer reflects the use of the Library's facilities or its longstanding practice. The
Coronado Public Library currently maintains three dedicated exhibit spaces equipped with a professional
gallery hanging system specifically to accommodate art exhibitions. These spaces include the Spreckels
Reading Room, the Teen Area, and the space behind the Reference Desk.
Public libraries have evolved beyond their traditional role as repositories for book collections to become
community cultural and educational centers. Art exhibits and displays encourage curiosity, lifelong
learning, and critical thinking while introducing patrons to artists, cultures, ideas, and artistic techniques.
They also provide opportunities to support local artists, students, and community organizations and
contribute to a welcoming and engaging public environment.
The proposed revisions remove outdated language prohibiting art exhibitions and instead recognize the
Library's established role in presenting exhibits that support its educational, cultural, and community
mission.
Display of Unsolicited Materials
The second portion of Policy 24 addresses the display of unsolicited materials submitted by individuals
and organizations.
Staff recommend retaining this section of the policy. It provides valuable guidance for staff, patrons, and
community organizations regarding the Library's role in making informational materials available while
maintaining viewpoint neutrality and ensuring displays remain consistent with Library policies and
available space. The policy continues to serve as an important reference for the consistent administration

FISCAL IMPACT
None.
ALTERNATIVE
The Board may suggest additional or alternative revisions to Policy 24.

LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES STAFF REPORT
Review and Deletion of Library Board Policy 14, Public Dress & Grooming, Policy 18, Contracts,
and Policy 27, Conference Room
RECOMMENDATION
Consider deletion of Policy 14, Public Dress & Grooming; Policy 18, Contracts; and Policy 27, Conference
Room, as their subject matter is adequately addressed through existing Board Regulations, Board
Bylaws, City Administrative Procedures, and other adopted Library Policies.
BACKGROUND
As part of the Board's ongoing review of Library Board policies, staff and the Board’s Policy
subcommittee, consisting of Trustees Hall and Webb, have evaluated a number of legacy policies to
determine whether they remain necessary and relevant. Staff and the Board’s subcommittee have
identified three policies that are now redundant because their provisions are addressed elsewhere.
ANALYSIS
Policy 14 – Public Dress & Grooming
Staff recommend rescinding Policy 14, Public Dress & Grooming, as its provisions are already contained
within Board Regulation 1, Rules of Conduct.
Consolidating all patron conduct requirements into a single Regulation provides greater clarity and
convenience for patrons and staff. Board Regulation 1 is the Board's current governing document
addressing public conduct and is regularly reviewed and updated.
Specifically, Regulation 1, Section IV – Prohibited Conduct, includes provisions prohibiting:
• Entering the library barefoot or without clothing covering the chest; and
• Causing or introducing odors that create discomfort for others.
Regulation 1 also establishes the Board's authority to adopt rules governing the use of the library.
From a legal and policy perspective, patron dress requirements should be narrowly tailored to legitimate
health, safety, and operational concerns. Clothing may constitute protected expression, and restrictions
should be based on disruptive conduct or demonstrable health and safety considerations rather than
personal appearance or taste. Regulation 1 appropriately addresses these legitimate concerns without
the need for a separate dress and grooming policy.
Policy 18 – Contracts
Staff recommend rescinding Policy 18, Contracts, because the matters it addresses are already governed
by Board Bylaws, City procurement requirements, and established Administrative Procedures.
In the Board's Bylaws, Article VI, Budget and Fiscal, assigns responsibility for procurement and fiscal
administration to the Library Director. With respect to the City budget, the Bylaws state that the Library
Director administers expenditures, receivables, accounting, and compliance in accordance with City
July 14, 2026 City of Coronado Library Board of Trustees Page 36
Item 6.e
fiduciary regulations.
Similarly, Article VI, Section 2 provides that the Library Director administers Library Trust Fund
expenditures, purchases, accounting, and compliance in accordance with Board direction regarding the
use of trust funds and applicable City fiduciary regulations. While the Board establishes priorities and
authorizes the use of trust funds, purchasing and contracting remain administrative responsibilities.
This allocation of authority is also reflected in the Coronado Public Library Governance Elements and
Authority Matrix, which identifies procurement and fiduciary duties as administrative functions carried out
in accordance with Municipal Code and City procedures. The Authority Matrix assigns no governance
role to the Board for procurement activities and identifies the Library Director as responsible for
implementing and managing those functions.
Because procurement and contracting are comprehensively governed through the Board's Bylaws, City
regulations, and Administrative Procedures, maintaining a separate Board policy addressing contracts
and competitive bidding is unnecessary and poses the risk of conflict with City procedures.
Policy 27 – Conference Room
Staff recommend rescinding Policy 27, Conference Room, because all provisions relating to conference
room use have been incorporated into the Board's recently reviewed and updated Meeting Room Use
policy (Policy 12).
Maintaining a single comprehensive policy governing all meeting and conference room use improves
clarity, eliminates duplication, and provides patrons and staff with one authoritative source for room use
requirements.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
ALTERNATIVE
The Board may decide to keep or amend Policies 14, 18 and 27.

PUBLIC DRESS & GROOMING
The Board of Trustees recognizes that the mode of dress and grooming is a matter of
personal style and individual preference. It is the policy of the Board that the mode
and manner of personal dress and grooming shall not be a condition for access to or
use of library facilities or services, except as noted in Regulation 1.
The Director of Library Services may make and enforce reasonable rules and
regulations regarding personal dress and grooming practices of patrons, when such
practices:
Present a hazard to the safety or health of library patrons or staff;
Materially interfere with, create disorder in, or disrupt the peaceful use of the
library by patrons or its operation by staff; or
Cause excessive wear or materially affect the condition or cleanliness of the
library or its equipment.

of Library Services. Advertisement for bids may be employed, if appropriate. Final

LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES STAFF REPORT
Status of Library Capital Improvement Program Projects
RECOMMENDATION
Receive the report.
BACKGROUND
A list of Library Capital Improvement Program projects and an update on their status relative to other City
projects was requested at the May 12, 2026, Library Board meeting. The City's Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) identifies and prioritizes capital projects across all City departments based on available
funding, operational needs, and long-term planning. A summarizing excerpt from the City Council’s Fiscal
Year 2026-27 CIP packet is included here as an attachment to provide an overview of the status of
current, proposed, and long-range capital projects. Please note that within categories, the list is ordered
alphabetically. A Capital Improvement Program is a long-range planning document. The excerpt consists
of two sections. The first page identifies changes made to the CIP during the current budget cycle. The
second page shows the sequencing of projects, which reflects not only relative priorities but also the
stage of planning, design, funding, and implementation each project has reached.
This report summarizes the status of Library-related projects within the broader City capital program.
ANALYSIS
The Library currently has four projects identified within the City's Capital Improvement Program at varying
stages of development.
Active Projects
- Library Roof, HVAC and Solar Replacement
This remains the Library’s highest-priority project. It is in the City's Active Projects category and continues
to advance through design and implementation. Currently, a solar feasibility study is being conducted,
which will inform other aspects of the project. Overall, the project represents a significant investment in
the preservation of the Library building and replacement of aging mechanical systems. The current CIP
identifies approximately $800,000 appropriated within an overall projected budget of approximately $7.8
million. This project is not included in the list of projects with an expected construction start date during
Fiscal Year 2026-27.
Proposed Long Range Projects
The FY 2026-27 CIP includes two new Library projects sequenced as long range projects for future
development:
- Library Children's Area Lighting
- Library Lobby Remodel
Their inclusion in the proposed CIP represents an important first step toward future improvements to the
July 14, 2026 City of Coronado Library Board of Trustees Page 43
Item 6.f
public areas of the Library. Inclusion in the sequencing list establishes these projects as recognized
capital priorities, although future funding and scheduling remain subject to City Council approval and the
availability of resources.
The list of Long Range CIP projects also continues to identify:
- Winn Room Renovation
The project remains categorized as a Long Range Project, indicating that it has been identified as a future
capital need but has not yet advanced into the active project sequence. The current CIP identifies that
$300,000 was appropriated for this project in prior years, with future implementation dependent upon
Council priorities, funding availability, and completion of higher-priority capital projects.
Overall Status
The Library continues to maintain a visible presence within the City's Capital Improvement Program. A
staff request to include a remodel of the Children’s Area did not make it onto the Master Project List in
this fiscal year. However, with one major active construction project, two proposed improvements, and
one major long-range renovation project, the Library is well represented among the City's capital
priorities.
Staff will continue to work with Public Services & Engineering, Facilities, and the City Manager's Office
to advance these projects through the City's capital planning process and will keep the Board informed
as projects progress.
The adopted FY 2026-27 CIP reflects continued recognition by the City of the Library's capital
improvement needs. The advancement of the Roof, HVAC and Solar project, together with the addition
of the Children's Area Lighting and Lobby Remodel projects to the proposed CIP represents positive
progress. While the Winn Room Renovation remains a long-range project, its continued inclusion in the
City's planning documents positions it for future consideration as funding opportunities arise.
FISCAL IMPACT
This report is informational only. Funding for individual capital projects is subject to the City's annual
Capital Improvement Program and City Council approval.
