3. Don Gardner and Garland Thompson presented Autism PSA with the presenter Laurie Nielsen and workshop video from SPLAMBA. The materials will be available to all MOBAC members.
4. PLP Update: Liu reported that PLP had an Executive Committee meeting at end of July. Budget for FY 12/13 was approved with additional funding from CLSA. With CLSA fund to subsidize delivery cost, there will be $150,000 allocated for innovation grants. CLSA fund may be used for other projects such as “Print on Demand” or Califa ebook collection. This will be a topic for MOBAC Council at the next meeting. There will be a Print on Demand demo at April meeting if it can be arranged.
5. Action Plan: There was confusion about Committee/Community of Interest. Until clarified, all committees will comply with Brown Act. Truong will check with PLP attorney for legal opinion. MOBACinfo listserv will be created for members to share info, ideas and training/workshops.
6. ILL Committee Task Force on Courier Services. Delivery options were discussed. Truong will ask for cost of 2 days/week for libraries who currently have 3 days/week delivery. ILL report will be reviewed in depth at the next meeting.
7. Non-MOBAC libraries discussion: Reference Committee provided a list of libraries in the MOBAC region who are not MOBAC members. Truong will check with PLP for associate membership and benefits since MOBAC membership fees tie in with PLP’s.
8. Literacy Task Force: Next Council meeting will determine if Literacy remains task force or becomes committee.

- Literary Task force becomes committee
