AGENDA ITEM
Regular Board of Trustees Meeting
of
November 23, 2004
SUBJECT: Library Computer Use Policy
FROM: Margaret G. Klinkow, Oak Brook Public Library Director
BUDGET SOURCE /BUDGET IMPACT: $0
RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move for passage of Ordinance 2004- LY -EXI -S -1091, An
Ordinance Adopting An Amendment to the Library Computer Use Policy
Background /History:
The original Computer Use Policy was adopted on July 28, 1998 and was to be reviewed and
updated regularly on a biennial basis. The current revision is the one scheduled for November
2004.
The Library has recently expanded its computer capabilities to include two internet -only stations
in the Lobby. These are very popular with people who want only to check email quickly.
Patrons are allowed to eat in the Lobby and this makes it a desirable spot. Their time on the
computer is limited to half an hour.
The Library is planning to expand the number of computers available to patrons in the Library to
include two stations where CDs and DVDs may be previewed by patrons before they take the
items out. We also want to allow adult patrons to bring in personal software and use it in the
library for study and other purposes. The revisions to the Computer Use Policy make these
additional uses acceptable.
Recommendation:
The Library Commission and the Director of the Library recommend that Ordinance 2004 -LY-
EX 1 -S -1091 be passed.

D AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING A SPECIAL ACQUISITIONS POLICY FOR THE
OAK BROOK PUBLIC LIBRARY
The Library has received gifts of considerable value. These include a bronze sculpture
by Rebecca Childers Caleel from the Oak Brook Women's Club, a Steinway grand
piano from the Friends of the Library, a handmade quilt from a private patron, a
bronze statue from MacDonald's Corporation. These acquisitions represent an
increase in the value of Library holdings and Village responsibilities for maintenance,
preservation and display.
Staff wishes to standardize the approach to acquiring special items such as these for
display, for performing music and perhaps in the future for using technology. In order
