All right.

Then motion carried.

So uh moving on to item four library services staff reports and announcements.

Um at this time, do any members of the public wish to comment on it?

Can they comment yet if you haven't?

You will provide the I'll provide, and there's no public, so we'll it'll probably be pretty quick.

But you're asking just in case.

So uh so just a couple three, four things.

Um, so if you've been in the library uh recently, you'll see we've got study pods that have been put in.

Uh we've got four four-person pods and two one-person pods.

Uh one of the one-person pods is uh when it was delivered, they delivered the the back of it that was transposed, uh, they delivered the wrong angle.

So it's we're we're waiting to get that replaced.

Um I just got work today uh that the park came in, so we're just scheduling that.

Um but so far those have been a wild success.

People love them.

Uh they're in use all day long, and I can only see more upside of people using them more and more and more.

So it's one it's something that in our strategic plan that people really wanted to see is some type of quick, easy access to a room to do a Zoom meeting or uh an online class, or even just take a phone call, or just have some really truly perceived uh privacy space, and people are taking to it really well.
