Pittsylvania County Public Library
Executive Committee of the Board of Library Trustees
March 10, 2025
The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Pittsylvania County Public Library met
on Monday, March 10, 2025, in the Chatham meeting room. The meeting was called to order at
3:02pm by Karen Eades, Chair. Members present were Karen Eades, Mike Irby, and Janice Fitts.
The consent agenda including the agenda, minutes of the meeting of February 10, 2025, the
operations and financial reports for February 2025, and the director's report, were read and
approved on a motion by Janice Fitts, seconded by Mike Irby. Motion passed unanimously.
The new Library Board member, Michael Irby, was welcomed to the board.
Discussion was held about board member attendance.
Rhonda presented an update to the library policies. She recommended removing the $5 deposit
for Test Preparation Books, referencing that most of those materials are now online. The online
resources are readily available, eliminating the concern of the costly materials not being
returned.
Rhonda updated the board on the replacement of the bookmobile, explaining that the County did
not want to sign the contract until the 25/26 budget was passed. This would ensure that the
balance for the bookmobile would be allocated in next FY budget.
Rhonda updated the Board on the renovations at the Brosville Library, noting that the carpet had
been installed, the walls painted, and a new circulation desk had been installed.
Rhonda gave an overview of the submitted budget, identifying key requests. Some requests
included expected increases in yearly costs, such as electricity, copies, and online services.
The status of the potential Dan River library was discussed, including needing to hear back from
the school maintenance department about septic capacity.
Karen Eades adjourned the executive committee meeting at 3:30pm.
The next full board meeting is scheduled for April 14, 2025 at 3:00pm at the Chatham Library.

Pittsylvania County Public Library
Director's Report —April 2025
Personnel: The two part-time staff and full-time youth services person at the Brosville branch continue to
help cover while the branch manager is out on leave.
Facilities —
• Bookmobile: The final estimate for the bookmobile came to $359,845. Matthew vehicles agreed
to the changes and sent the contract back to the county to sign. The county requested that the
contract be extended to a 75-day contract to ensure the current budget would be passed with the
remaining $100,000 request in FY 25/26 budget. I contacted Matthews vehicles, who agreed to
the contract extension. That gives the County until the first of May to sign the contract before the
quote would need to be updated. The Interim County Administrator plans to present the contract
to the Board of Supervisors at their April 15th meeting.
• Brosville: In addition to new carpet and paint, a new circulation desk was installed at the
Brosville Library, as well as some updated children's furniture.
• Chatham: We have received quotes for a ramp at the Chatham library that will led into the shed.
We will schedule that installation soon.
• Gretna: The book benches have been measured for a quote to have them wrapped.
• History Center: The carpet is scheduled to be installed in the meeting room of the History Center
April 28 — 30`h. There were also termites discovered at the History Center. It is scheduled to be
treated April 7`h. We will ask about the extent of the damage at that time.
• Mt Hermon: The HV/AC unit in the ceiling at Mt. Hermon leaked. Maintenance was able to
repair and patch the damaged unit, but we are still waiting to have the ceiling patched.
Budget —
• The Board of Supervisors are still working through the local budget requests.
• IMLS Update — Here's where we are today 4/7/25:
• All IMLS employees were put on paid administrative leave for 90 days last
Monday, https://www.npr.ore/2025/03/31/nx-sl-5334415/doge-institute-of-museum-and-
library-services and on Thursday were told they were part of a Reduction in Force.
• The bipartisan coalition of Senators who established the reauthorization of the Museum and
Library Services Act in 2018 (which was signed by President Trump) wrote to Acting IMLS
Director Keith Sonderling: https://www.collins.senate.Rov/newsroom/senator-collins-

• So far only a few states have been notified that their grants have been terminated. As of last
week, that was Washington, California and Connecticut. There may be more by now.
System & Admin — Virginia Public Library Standard of Excellence — Silver
Programs & Activities:
• Bookmobile:
The bookmobile was still able to provide services to much of the county during March. Myrna Herndon,
armed with a jug of antifreeze, was able to take the bookmobile out to many of the regular stops. While
the Outreach Services Coordinator is out, programs and stops at schools will be temporarily suspended.
Brosville: From Alyssa Schmidt March 2025
Spring was in full swing this month at the Brosville
Branch. Local gardener Barry Jordan came out to lead a
Beginner Gardening Class on March 12th. During this
program, 21 patrons received expert gardening tips,
hands on experience and even started seeds of their I
own! Patrons have reported that many of the seeds 1
given out at this class have begun to sprout. Prepared _ AN
with the knowledge they learned in this class, our
patrons are confident in caring for their new plants. The response was wonderful and we
plan to make this a recurring class here at the Brosville branch.
Tammy Martin, one of our library assistants, held a Jar Lantern Class. Participants
crafting technique using decoupage and dried flowers. The 12 participants left witt
beautiful jar lantern.
On March 14th, the ongoing program "Veteran's Coffee Club" brought seven vetel
together to connect over coffee and refreshments. While at the library, veterans dis
variety of topics. They connect over their shared as well as individual
experiences in the military. This program brings a lot of connection, laughter
and conversation!
This month, our Beginner Crochet Class has continued to be a hit. Patrons of all
ages come on Tuesday nights to learn the basics of crochet and work towards
improving their skills. With 36 participants last month, this program has become
a staple here at the Brosville branch.
Outreach continues to be one of our goals. Stony Mill Pre-K came to the library
for their "Community Day". The classes enjoyed storytime followed by a tour of
the library. We also continued providing storytimes to a local daycare as well as the Wee 3 class at Stony
Mill Elementary. In addition to this, we were able to make a connection with a new daycare in the
Brosville area and made plans to begin providing storytime services for their facility. Our Youth activity
that stood out this month was "Good Luck Charms". We gathered with 21 participants to learn about the
history of Saint Patrick's Day and create "good
luck" shamrock keychains! The best part has been
seeing all of the kids come back into the library
wearing their "good luck charm".
The children's section at Brosville also added some
new pieces of furniture. This furniture has been very
well received by our youth and family patrons.
Everyone is enjoying it!
• Chatham: From Branch Manager, Beth Marsh
Chatham Library had a busy and exciting March, with a great mix of
programs for all ages. We offered a variety of activities, from hands-on
programs to passive engagement opportunities, and participation was
strong across the board.
One of the standout programs this month was our Mardi Gras
Celebration, which brought in 45 participants who enjoyed themed
swag and activities. Little U continued to be a hit with our youngest
patrons, with attendance reaching 29 on March 27. Family Literacy
Night at IALR was a huge success,
drawing 67 attendees and reinforcing our commitment to literacy in the
community. Chatham Head Start Storytime remained a joy, with
multiple offsite sessions engaging an average of 15-19 little listeners.
Friday Paws also saw great engagement, with 10-11 attendees at each
session, bringing smiles to everyone involved.
Bingocize, our fitness and social program for adults, is growing
steadily, with an average attendance of six per session. Our themed
activities, such as Crayon Day and the Leprechaun Scavenger Hunt,
added a fun and creative touch to the month for our school -age crowd.
Our ongoing engagement efforts also saw
great participation. The Friends of the
Library Eric Carle Raffle was a wonderful
month -long fundraiser with 25 participants.
The Scavenger Hunt was a hit, with 30 kids
exploring the library throughout the month.
Looking ahead to April, we have an
exciting lineup of programs. Poetry Month
will feature a Taylor Swift vs. Classic
Poetry contest
running all month long. Earth Day on April 22 will bring the community
together for a Clean -Up Day, preparing
our outdoor space for the warmer
months. The Tiny Art Show will
encourage creativity across all ages, with
artwork displayed during National
Library Week. Other highlights include
the Solve the Mystery Game, Spring
Break Boredom Busters, and a variety of
book clubs, craft sessions, and engaging
storytimes. With so much to look
forward to, we can't wait to see our
community come together once again for
another month of fun and learning!
History Center: The History Center is being treated for termites. Since the meeting room is still in
high demand, several meetings have had to be relocated to the Community Center or Chatham Library
meeting room.
There is still a large demand for the meeting space at the History Center. Many local organizations use
the meeting room for local meetings. Recent meetings include Reimagine Chatham, Book Reviews,
Rotary, Chatham First, Freedom of Choice and more. �UVIs®="�M
Mt. Hermon: From Branch Manager, Tim Rogers
The time change with daylight savings time always slows patron
traffic the first week or so and this year was no exception. Our
regular youth programs, Mother Goose on the Loose, and
Preschool Storytime all witnessed a drop -in attendance the week
following the time change. The week prior attendance to our
program offerings was good but was also impacted by more
Spring like weather.
The exception
being our
Homeschool Junction where once again attendance was
strong and new families attended. This program, the brain
child of our youth services coordinator, Sharon Jamison,
continues to grow and gain praise from families in
attendance.
Yet on St. Patrick's Day patron activity boomed. With
over ten kids and parents taking part in our St. Patty's
Day Shenanigans program was a big hit with parents and
kids. Sharon planned fun craft projects and snacks
followed by a vigorous scavenger hunt through the
library.
Quick on the heels of our St. Patty's Day, the sign
up for Angela Longerbeam's Cottagecore Craft
filled quickly. Excited participants created beautiful
miniature fairy scenes.
We wrapped the month up with two events; the
Snow -White Party which as Sharon stated in our
Facebook post everyone had a "royal time. And on
Monday March 3l' just in time for Pittsylvania
County School's spring break, our Art Lab
attracted budding young artists as they turn
sandpaper into and artist's brush using just
crayons.
Gretna: from Branch Manager Adrian Badgett
March was an exciting month at the Gretna Branch Library, as it was Elementary School field trip
month at our library! All classes from Gretna Elementary School visited the library for an hour-long
field trip. A total of 23 classes, over 400 students in all, had the opportunity to explore the library.
During their visit, students participated in a variety of activities: a storytime session, a scavenger hunt
that taught them how to identify different genres, and a story -building activity where each class created
their own original stories. Parents also had the chance to sign up their children for library cards,
resulting in 56 student cards, 21 juvenile cards, and 16 adult cards issued.
The teens had a blast this month during Teen Mayhem, where they made buttons featuring their favorite
TV shows, video games, books, characters, and original sketches. They also spent time socializing and
playing various card games. In addition, the teens were introduced to the art of quilling and continue to
work on their projects after school.
Baby Tales had a great turnout this month, with a consistent group of little ones joining us for stories,
bounces, and social interactions. We also provided a special storytime for the Wee 3 classes at Gretna
Elementary School, which was a rescheduled event due to a February snow
cancellation. The children were excited to sing songs and enjoy a story about the
wind, which they related to given the windy weather outside.
The Wednesday after -school program had a fantastic turnout, with kids creating
tissue paper stained-glass clovers and experimenting with self -inflating balloons in
a fun STEAM activity. Reading Paws continues to grow in popularity, as more
children come in to practice their reading skills by reading to Summit the
therapy dog.
In addition to our programs, the theme for the library's door display and first word
search of the month was St. Patrick's Day. We put out 40 St. Patrick's Day-themed
word searches, all of which were taken. After the holiday, we switched to 40
Spring Garden-themed word searches, which were also very popular and taken until
April 1 st.
On the evening of March 22nd, we hosted Bingo for Books, with nine patrons attending, including some
new faces. Many attendees complimented the program as they collected their prizes.
Jeanette created a photo backdrop for R ad3n with y Pee S
Easter which patrons can take pictures
during our Easter Egg Hunt Event which is at Gretna Branch Library
planned for April.
March was a busy and productive month,
with lots of kids coming through our doors t t
to enjoy the Gretna Branch Library
experience. The staff is eagerly looking
forward to what April has in store. / :,

Today: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/04/03/libraries-tnxmp-

Suggested Press Release:
The Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) administers federal funding
to supplement state and local funding. These funds are used by the State Library to
provide online resources such as Find It Virginia, library website hosting, data and
statistic collection from libraries, and support services to public libraries. Public
Library support includes summer reading materials, consulting, staff training,
internet connection support and consulting, listservs, and more. IMLS funding is
currently the funding that is in jeopardy of being terminated.
State Aid is funding that is distributed through the General Assembly and is
currently stable. These funds are distributed to local libraries based on a formula
that calculates funding based on local contributions, population, and square miles.
It also includes a cap for larger library systems/service areas, which limits the
amount more populated areas receives to ensure that smaller, more rural areas are
able to receive adequate funding to provide essential library services.
"In the Pittsylvania County Public Library, state aid is used to purchase cataloging
supplies, pay for internet connection, purchase computer supplies, and purchase
library materials including books, magazines, newspapers, audios, DVDs and
online resources, such as Hoopla, Ancestry, and Heritage Hub.", explained library
director, Rhonda Griffin. "But we also heavily rely on the resources that are
provided by the Library of Virginia through IMLS funding. Find it Virginia is an
online database that offers resources such as free legal forms, homework help, free
resources for vets, employment resources, and free technology instruction to name
a few."
"We are very grateful for all of the local support for our libraries", said Library
Board Chair, Karen Eades. "Without funding from IMLS, the library would be in
jeopardy of losing online services for people of all ages. In addition to being an
active member of the Mt. Hermon Library Book Club, I have witnessed students
participating in afterschool programs and LEGO Clubs, children attending reading
programs, and adults accessing the computers for resume and employment help."
Other programs and services that are offered by the Pittsylvania County Public
Library include:
• "Tea with Vets" where veterans meet monthly at the Brosville library
• "Summer Reading Programs" — helps prevent "summer slide" and continue
education during out of school time — supported with IMLS funding
• "Chatham Bridge" is a club where seniors can connect and meet for a
friendly game of cards
• "AARP Computer Workshops" teach seniors about new technology trends
and scams at the Mt. Hermon Library
• "Gardening 101 for Kids"
• "Adulting 101" explains the needs to wills, custody, renters rights, and
senior services.
• Internet access — free and supported through IMLS funding
• "Teen Story Writing" at the Gretna Library
• `Bingocize" combines playing Bingo with exercise to help increase balance
and stability.
• Website hosting — you can find all of the library's programs and events at
pcplib.org — which is hosted with IMLS funding
The Pittsylvania County Public Library Board met Monday, April 14, 2025 to
discuss the potential impact of losing IMLS support. The Library Board expressed
concern for the library system and the effect this could have on the entire
community. The Library Board has reached out to officials to show support for
library services.

Library Standards of Excellence
Planning for Library Excellence (PLE) intends to provide benchmarks for direction and aspiration for
library systems as well as offer education for parties less familiar with Virginia public libraries. PLE also
provides information to help libraries plan and evaluate their services to meet the needs of their
communities in the most effective way their resources will allow.
Planning for Library Excellence has established the following service ratings: essential, enhanced and
exemplary, accompanied by a corresponding star rating for ease of use and advocacy.
Areas of rating include
• Governance:
o Library Board
o Directors
o Funding
o Administration
• Public Relations
• Human Resources
o Policies
o Staffing Levels
o Staff Development
o Volunteers and Friends
• Collections
• Facilities
• Technology
• Access and Services
o Access
o Information Services
o Programs
PCPL earned a Silver (Enhanced) rating, meaning that not only did the library system meet the essential
requirements, it also met many enhanced criteria. PCPL is excited to earn the silver status and will
continue to strive to excellence. However, it is understood that while some measures are easily met
such as:
The governing board or other appropriate authority shall conduct annual performance
evaluations of the director using the Virginia Public Library Trustee Handbook as a guide and/or
as guided by local government processes.
There are also other areas that will remain out of reach for our library system:
• In rural areas, no more than 30 minutes' driving time from residents.
Therefore, PCPL is honored to have earned the highest measure of excellence within our reach.
