From the meeting
At its August 19, 2026 meeting the board approved a policy change cutting the telescope fine from $10 a day to $1 a day. Denise Ard said the telescope's current circulation rule in the library software is being discontinued by the State Library, so the district must choose another circulation option. The item is a policy and system-setting change tied to Library of Things circulation.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
