with Story Times and classes are already being shared with patrons as they plan
their summer.
3b Fiscal Year 2026 Budget Process
Director Pawlowski shared the budget process has begun as meetings have already
started. Final approval by Council in September, with Voluntary Budget turned in
during August and to council in September. David Thach inquired about how the
Library is funded. Director Pawlowski clarified that the Library is funded by the
General (property taxes), CEDC (percentage of sales tax for leisure services) and
the Voluntary Library fund which is the $2.00 donation option in the water bill.

City of Colleyville Page 2
Director Pawlowski addressed the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS)
March presidential executive order funding cuts. The IMLS funds several services
throughout the state such as Boundless and ILL reimbursement grants. On April 3rd,
the state was notified from IMLS that there was no more information regarding
funding from them. E-Read Texas (Boundless auxiliary app) is fully funded by the
state and somewhat funded by IMLS. New titles are not being added, but what is
currently there is still accessible. The longevity of the Boundless platform is unknown
until more information regarding funding is available. TexShare Databases which
are primarily for research are IMLS funded as well. More information to come, and
the state library is waiting to get more information. The Library has studied the
impact to the Library, and we have no major services that run from a state grant.
Since we are fully funded by the city, we should not see any real impact to our
services. The Library is waiting for more information from the Texas State Library
Archives Commission to understand the full impact of supplemental service that
Colleyville receives.
Board Member Wanda Cotter inquired about HB 3225 regarding juvenile restrictions
to sexually explicit material access in public libraries. Library Director Pawlowski
indicated that staff is reviewing the bill’s language and discussing procedural
changes should the bill be signed into law.
Kay Newton inquired about donation policy changes and Director Pawlowski advised
an updated collection development policy and city donations policy are being
reviewed.
3c Discussion of Items for Future Agendas
No future items for discussion.
4. REPORTS
4a Librarian's Report
A. Monthly Statistics
Director Pawlowski noted the statistics were good with Circulation up 2%, and
Remote Locker usage up due to Winter Reading bingo card, especially in February
with $35 Colleyville restaurant card promotion. Remote Locker usage in March was
somewhat maintained with the extra visibility from February and Rec Center usage.
Program attendance has been good; however, gate count is down overall due to the
last early voting cycle from October of last year. David Thach questioned the
circulation number being up versus the gate count and if this was due to Cloud
Library or the number of physical items being checked out per patron. Pawlowski
indicated that the Cloud Library usage is higher and the number of items per
checkout may have been higher due to new Spring Break programming. Molly

Skinner asked about the number of resident versus non-resident library card
holders. Resident card holders make up roughly 85% of total patron’s and program
attendance is around 80% resident card holders.
B. Donations
The library received a donation of $200 from Colleyville Rummikub and a $250
donation from the Colleyville Garden Club. The Colleyville Woman’s Club is awarding
a $2,500 grant to the Library for the purchase of memory care kits to support the
community.
4b Friends of the Colleyville Public Library Report
Kay Newton reported that over 5,000 books were brought to Thrift Books in Dallas,
and some were selling. About half were recycled, but there were items they were
wanting to get rid of. The rest are selling although at a smaller profit back to the
Friends than through Better World Books. Inside the Library book sales are roughly
$80-$100 per month in sales. A spring sale is being considered on a more defined
scale such as Children’s or Adult only book sales. Director Pawlowski has asked for
funds for upcoming programs and author luncheons, which are available as needed.
4c Colleyville Public Library Foundation Report
No Foundation members present and their next meeting is in May.
5. ADJOURNMENT
