counter at the Mounce Library had not been working properly. Since the library no longer checks
out sculpture or art prints,the format for the monthly stats has been changed. Due to staff cuts and
reduced hours at the Carnegie,stats for the library had decreased.

the Bryan City Council on December 7, 2010.
B. Karen Lande, Engineering `echnician for the City of ryan presented the proposed changes for
the second floor renovation of the Mounce Library. The meeting room will be moved to the north
side of the second floor and the computer lab will be moved to the area adjacent to the
Administration O fice. The remainder of the second floor will be devoted to the children's area.
The adult mysteries and science fiction currently on the second floor will be relocated to the first
floor. The staff is currently shifting the collection for the new arrangement. Ms. Lande reported
that next week she will file for ADA variance for the project.

arrival a year ago as Library System Director. The board applauded him for noteworthy innovative
projects.
