A. REVIEW OF “ACCESS” FROM STANDARDS FOR ILLINOIS PUBLIC
LIBRARIES:
Director Madorin and the Commission reviewed the definition for access along with the
standards and checklist. The Commissioners reflected that the Library admirably meets the
standards. Discussion ensued about how the possibility of closing the Library on Fridays
would affect access. It was voiced that although the Commission would always support the
decisions of the Board of Trustees, they strongly felt that closing one day a week would be
detrimental to the Library.
