  • Gina Millsap has recommended children have unimpeded access to Playboy magazine.???

  • "I respectfully submit that I believe that the Board of Trustees should affirm its current Library Materials Selection, Circulation and User Confidentiality policies with two changes. 1. Lift the restriction on R-rated films in the Circulation policy. 2. Discontinue the practice of putting certain magazines behind the service desk, including Playboy. That will ensure that we are consistent in the way we provide access to all library materials and ensure user confidentiality." - Gina Millsap

  • Please improve the sound quality next time as this is a little hard to hear.
