The nut graf: Staff said teen volunteers increased during summer to help with program crowd control and maintenance; the library’s practicum student, Justin, a master’s in library science candidate, is assisting with collection development and circulation duties during the busy summer season. Staff also said representatives from the City of Anna visited to study Wylie’s layout and operations; Anna’s planned library will be about 33,000 square feet with four full-time staff.

Staff described volunteer roles: maintenance volunteers who shelve and organize, program volunteers who support presenters and crowd control at busy children’s events, and teen volunteers who fill desk and program-support shifts. “He’s finishing up his master's in library science,” a staff member said of practicum student Justin, who was praised for quickly getting to work on a collection development project.

Library staff said Anna’s delegation included two degreed librarians and two additional staff; Anna’s library project will be a community gathering space in the fall and staff said they expected high interest when it opens. Staff noted that Wylie’s practice of shorter shelving and sight lines influenced Anna’s design choices.

Ending: Staff encouraged continued use of volunteers and said they will seek practicum placements in future semesters when feasible.","Board heard that teen volunteers and a practicum MLS student are assisting heavily during the summer; library staff also gave a tour to personnel from the City of Anna, which plans to open a new 33,000-square-foot library.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6513988,"Priscilla’s play wall debuts at Wylie Library; plaque delayed while vendor repairs lighting",50,125000,175000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5065528-ed7515d427ec1e30e9e3a24fc207cc2a&start=125&end=175","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5065528-ed7515d427ec1e30e9e3a24fc207cc2a/thumbnail_125000.jpg","/articles/6513988/Wylie/Collin-County/Texas/Priscillas-play-wall-debuts-at-Wylie-Library-plaque-delayed-while-vendor-repairs-lighting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6513988-4967038574e34eac6b4f46ca082a3654/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440201&Signature=WdkFHDipK~7VAeB85-czTlm1qx0zFshpfSypC0oIuaxi5UA1YLmO58~C-tsuSx4YOASouhur2fo3qKT2k54YpS-uCNy6Pn4vXumh6L5MxOWZT-~F3Xly9u3CLFKPUECfVt~Ihpb6Pmki1JbKDx6pRLNwbVB9XKk2xn4Umbq24~UTix~-tep2c5HraJPGk1DMgRPEHFy80x6R2nVj1d7BaVRpss-7MrDol1QieWWuRLw8D0tfzH6bpphrDg9qnS5bAvUU5hNwOIHjtsMbMjn2gCKUi50xoO3GAVenQOXlpdNzxHvKrXqcfGI2zJHY27XZxjC960ROedM7bjpHA0VYOg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Wylie Library staff reported on June 23 that the new play wall donated in honor of Priscilla had a successful opening and is being actively used by children, though the intended illuminated donor plaque was temporarily removed for repairs.

The nut graf: Library staff said many patrons—including family members of the donor—attended the reception. The plaque’s electronic lighting did not function as intended, so the vendor removed the plaque to repair it; staff said they hope to have it relit but are prepared to consider a redesign if necessary.

Staff described the opening as well attended and noted heavy use of the play wall by children the next morning. “There was just a mob at the play wall this morning about 3 kids deep,” a staff member said. Staff also credited the Friends of the Library for helping fund elements of the project.

The nut graf: The Friends will staff a table at Founders Park during the city fireworks event (7:30–9:30 p.m.) selling glow-in-the-dark items at $5 each; the annual book sale will include a members-only presale from 5–7 p.m. on Friday, July 18, followed by the public sale from 9 a.m.–3 p.m. on Saturday, July 19; the indoor mini-golf fundraiser is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 9, from 6–9 p.m.

Library staff said the July 4 activity grew out of a request from the city public information officer; Friends volunteers will sell light-up and glow merchandise as a fundraiser. The presale on July 18 will be limited to Friends members to reduce incidents of commercial scanners being used to purchase inventory; staff said commercial buyers will not be allowed into the Friday presale but may attend the public sale Saturday. Shoemaker and Heart, a local vendor, will sell coffee and pastries in front of the sale on Saturday.

The mini-golf event, a returning attraction, is organized by an external vendor who sets up a themed course through the library stacks. Staff said the event was popular last year and is intended as a family-friendly, indoor back-to-school activity.

Ending: Staff encouraged board members to publicize the events and support the Friends of the Library, which have also contributed to library projects such as the recently opened play wall.","Board discussed upcoming Friends of the Library fundraising activities: a fireworks-night table on July 4, a members-only presale and public book sale in mid-July, and a mini-golf fundraiser in August.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6513998,"Wylie library faces possible cuts to interlibrary loan and key databases as state funding is unsettled",885,453000,1338000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5065528-ed7515d427ec1e30e9e3a24fc207cc2a&start=453&end=1338","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5065528-ed7515d427ec1e30e9e3a24fc207cc2a/thumbnail_453000.jpg","/articles/6513998/Wylie/Collin-County/Texas/Wylie-library-faces-possible-cuts-to-interlibrary-loan-and-key-databases-as-state-funding-is-unsettled","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6513998-f5992ac583259bb6972ecf04d99d402a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440201&Signature=JxS-hmjZ3T2uiuUlk35h6w29mOsXdA~z-coqTsnYCcbhUmxRPqUgsXOE57ttIFAj-SdCs5ZSt6skZZwyZGl4z7JBJIH0keMAdMvjVZcw~UB09RlhpnG8fIvsShhMRr~aafrk2MNaDjFPk7WYLxFAq5JXcO5uNiZirfFVIL7imWfSlZ79SxSOZAcb0AoO4lgO2hfyf~dYPSx5-MNniJjtm5lSTaqrS1x4ZJV-w1nRQTtIEnmDtRlCCjn6hEKPh5G3t70bx0sYMq1a2Kjc435EM-PrrnvuGcQ3Lm8ngUCrbtmCcb5T4B1nwM9L7oIS1dLJnuFlAqmm5kA8jWzqqr5upA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Wylie Library staff told the Wylie Library Advisory Board on June 23 that uncertainty about federal grant funding and pending state-level actions may force the library to cut or alter interlibrary loan and several digital databases for fiscal year 2026.

Library staff said the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) grant that previously subsidized the statewide interlibrary loan program and some Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC) database bundles is “in limbo,” and that libraries statewide are considering options ranging from charging patrons for courier costs to suspending ILL. “They basically said we probably will not be able to fund interlibrary loan next year so we need to do it ourselves,” an unnamed staff member said during the meeting.

The nut graf: The possible funding changes could affect services Wylie patrons rely on, including Udemy, LearningExpress Library (with GED and STAAR test prep), National Geographic Kids, and other resources TSLAC currently helps fund. Library staff said they asked for two specific budget increases—$4,000 for continued ILL service and roughly $8,000 for database subscriptions—but city budget reviewers approved only the ILL request and cut the larger database request.

Staff described a range of contingencies. Some Texas libraries may begin charging patrons for ILL courier costs or suspend ILL entirely; others may absorb costs temporarily. Wylie’s staff said the library could pursue single-vendor subscriptions if the statewide bundle is reduced, and in some cases local partners such as the Wylie Economic Development Corporation might be asked to sponsor selected resources. The staff member added that the library’s finance director and city manager are part of a citywide budget process that has required each department to propose cuts to balance the 2026 budget.

The board discussed a related legislative risk: House Bill 3225 (referred to in the meeting as “house bill 3225”), which in earlier drafts would have required infrastructure changes to segregate adult materials; the version reported to the board was narrowed to require an annual inventory check and the creation of a juvenile-only library card option. Staff said TSLAC plans to publish detailed guidance if the bill becomes law, and that borrower and collection-development policies would have to be amended to reflect any statutory requirements. “I believe the bill states that a parent has to sign a specific form that says that they can have access to the entire library,” the staff member said; TSLAC was described as the agency preparing the required guidance.

Staff also warned of an administrative change in meeting-posting timelines that will begin in September: agendas will have to be posted 72 business hours before meetings rather than the previous standard, which will force an earlier packet submission schedule. Staff said that scheduling change will temporarily alter how monthly statistics are reported.

Library staff emphasized uncertainty remains. TSLAC was described as attempting to preserve some TechShare/TSLAC bundles and to negotiate a smaller package with vendors; if that fails, Wylie staff said the library may need to subscribe directly to individual services or seek alternative local sponsors. “We’ll have to see what TSLAC comes up with; if not, then databases may look very different next year,” the staff member said.

Ending: Staff said the next citywide budget review is expected in July and that they will update the board as numbers firm up and as TSLAC issues guidance on any enacted legislation.","Library staff told the Wylie Library Advisory Board that federal grant uncertainty and state-level funding decisions could force reductions to interlibrary loan (ILL) services and several databases used by patrons; House Bill 3225 and changes to meeting-posting rules also could require local policy updates.","actionData","errors"]
