A sign-up sheet will be available, first come, first serve, for those wishing to speak and
must be completed before speaking.
Public discussion is limited to 5 minutes each.

Comments should be specific to the Library, Library services and operation.
Signs, posters, and/or other distractive elements are prohibited in the meeting.

Obscene, harassing, derogatory language is prohibited.
At a majority vote by the Library Board, a public hearing can be scheduled for a future
