Motion to approve changes to Library Collection Development Policy

Information
ACTION REQUEST (Brief Summary)
The library has recently updated the Collection Development Policy. The changes are as follows: adding a new Local Author's Collection policy, updating demographic background of city based on 2020 census, and removing outdated format types. The policy was unanimously approved by the Library Board.
BACKGROUND
It has been almost 10 years since the last update to our Collection Development Plan. This plan is reviewed thoroughly at least once every 3 years. The plan has not needed alteration until now, because we had no new census data and we had no new formats or collection rules. Our recent renovation has allowed us to make room for a new Local Author's collection. This collection will spotlight authors from Galveston County. This requires a change in our submission guidelines.
Attached is the full revised policy as well as a document with just the new changes for easy perusal.
ANALYSIS
This policy change will result in no budget increases and minimal use of staff time. We believe the collection will draw in new users and highlight the creativity and talent that Texas City is known for.
