Library Board
The Library Board’s September 9, 2025 meeting was mostly routine, with no public comment and no major decisions. The one item to watch: the board started a review of its “Theft or Mutilation of Library Material” policy and plans to bring it back in October for final discussion and approval.
The board began reviewing its policy on theft or damage to library materials; staff proposed no changes, but the board will revisit it in October for final discussion and approval—worth watching because it affects how the library handles lost/damaged items and accountability.
A new Library Board member, Bonnie Shimulunas, was introduced as the Manitowoc County Board representative, a small but meaningful governance change in who helps steer library policy.
Board members raised practical access questions—bilingual collections and whether residents can print the new Cool City Connect newsletter at the library—and staff said yes on both, signaling the library is building language access and serving as an information hub.
No public comments or communications recorded for this meeting.
