President’s Report

Many board members attended the second strategic planning session yesterday to develop the
2.5 year plan. The planning process and leadership were outstanding. Draft is posted for board review and Director will present staff-generated tactics at October board meeting.
President and Ms. Pastroff will meet with City Council member and new library liaison Krista Hanson later this month. Library tax levy request will be presented to Council at the earliest at their October 7 meeting.
President discussed their family historical letters with Pasquesi family.

Secretary’s Report
Ms. Hospodarsky moved to approve the August 27, 2025 regular session minutes, Ms. Loredo seconded, and the motion carried unanimously.

Communication
The Director received many requests to use the Community Room. A concern about parking lot traffic flow was directed to the City Manager as it is a City owned lot. There was discussion on improved library signage from the street.

Treasurer’s Report
The August financials and September invoices were presented.
City auditing firm McConnell Jones is to deliver FY24 draft audit report to library this week.
Licensing fees are already 25% over budget; FY27 budget line seems low given past 2 years.
Local business gift cards were purchased as summer reading prizes because a promised donation fell through, but will typically use donations as Board encouraged.
Ms. Hospodarsky moved to approve the September 2025 invoices as listed in the Check Detail, Ms. Regalado seconded, and the motion carried unanimously.

Director’s Report
Ms. Ramirez highlighted items from her written report:
12 TAB members were deeply involved in making summer reading program a success.
New partnership with OMNI offers a pilot 6 week drop-in teen counseling program.
An adult education student was newly naturalized.
NAMI program Familia a Familia is being offered and helps backlog of counseling clients.
Director focused past month on tax levy and grant budget preparation.
Hoopla usage is high so there will be an upcoming change to 5/month limit when adding Libby resource, and improved user education on library charges even if book barely read.
DCEO grant application can be submitted when audit is completed. B&G committee has been working on some indoor and outdoor improvement plans for tight application window.
HVAC system has been balanced; staff will be trained on how to operate system this week.
Director proposes library closure for all-day staff training October 17, funded by grant.
A trustee training being offered this Saturday; Director will forward details.
Oct 19-25 is National Friends of Libraries week. Board planned appreciation and if available will attend next Friends’ meeting Monday October 6, 4-5 pm.
Wireless data report showed high usage even when library closed on Sunday. Further information may be available on inside versus outside building usage.
There was discussion on likely reasons for 25% decrease in door count from July to August. Health equity has seen more phone/text outreach. Could possibly offer more remote programming or have volunteers deliver books to homes.
Practice is to have jobs binder available on request at circulation desk, not part of the Posting of Materials policy. If job postings can be scanned in, patrons can be referred to the IDHS kiosk. Director will follow up with Chamber representative on advertising local jobs. Want to make sure job listings stay current.
May want to notify cardholders on updating email preferences, giving chance to opt out of year-end appeal, but cannot email a solicitation without that agreement to receive.

Committee Reports
Finance: Committee met to prepare FY27 budget.
Building and Grounds: Committee met for HVAC balancing and to research opportunities for DCEO grant. Next meeting is 4:30 pm on 10/16 where they will finalize those projects to propose in grant application, and they welcome input from other Board members at that time.

Old Business- None

New Business
The Board discussed hosting Early Voting and Election Day for Spring and November 2026. There was concern about yielding meeting room space for as many as 21 days each time, including setup. Staff and director are comfortable with this and feel there is more to be gained as a host site. They also agree to host both elections, not just spring. Lake County has promised assistance. Any room construction must be timed around elections. City of Highwood should be reminded at levy request of this service HLCC is providing to Community, replacing the Recreation Center. Volunteer hours from Board will be needed to supplement staff hours.

Ms. Hospodarsky moved to approve and sign the 2026 contract making the HLCC a voting site, Ms. Cleland seconded, and the motion carried unanimously.

The board extensively reviewed the draft FY27 tax levy budget.
Maintenance contract added for Northern Weathermakers
Added $5000 income from Friends, reducing deficit by this amount, consistent with previous years.
5% increase in salaries is a combination of COLA and merit raises.
There has been a rate increase in cleaning service
Ms. Regalado will discuss local paper subscription options further with Director.
Library materials and supplies area increased by 5%. May partner with the City on purchase of office supplies.
Deficit of $3000 on Google workspace to be covered by grants. Total deficit is ~$15,000. Ms. Hospodarsky moved and Ms. Loredo seconded to make a minimum tax levy request of

$354,730, up to $367,444. The motion carried unanimously by roll call: Yes: Cleland, Hospodarsky, Loredo, Martinez, Regalado

Ms. Hospodarsky moved to approve a library closure for staff training Friday, October 17, 2025. Ms. Loredo seconded, and the motion carried unanimously.

At Northwood Middle School, Lauren connected with 605 students on September 17 and September 24 (315 and 290 respectively.)
Children’s Services (Program updates from Diana W.)	DIY Piñata Part I The Children’s Department brought back a popular program from last year that many families were excited to attend. This year, the piñatas were made slightly smaller so children and parents could assemble them more easily. During the first session, participants created their piñatas from scratch using Elmer’s glue, water, small balloons, and strips of newspaper. Children used paintbrushes to paste the newspaper over the balloons and were invited to return for Part II to decorate and fill their piñatas with candy. Families were enthusiastic and expressed excitement about returning for the second session to complete their projects. – 35 participants

Creativity and Connection Through Partnership with The Art Center

The Library continues its successful partnership with The Art Center of Highland Park. This month, TAC led a God’s Eye craft session that encouraged mindfulness and creativity. Mairin from TAC guided participants through the process of weaving yarn between and around popsicle sticks, creating colorful and unique designs. Participants enjoyed the relaxing nature of the activity, often helping one another and chatting as they worked. Many stayed until closing time to finish their projects, with several taking extra supplies home to continue creating. Each participant completed at least two God’s Eyes in the Library, and at least four families planned to make more at home. The workshop offered a calming and collaborative environment that fostered connection, creativity, and community. – 13 participants

Teen Services (Program Updates from Lauren)

Teen After Hours: K-Pop Demon Hunters Party

The Teen After Hours K-Pop Demon Hunters Party had a stellar turnout on September 12, with ten teens attending. Participants decorated their own photocards and created custom phone charms while singing along to the movie soundtrack. The atmosphere was energetic and full of laughter, with teens asking to explore more K-Pop-themed activities in the future. As Ceci, 14, shared, “We should do this again, but with just K-Pop!”.
Teens Find Belonging and Trust at the Library
Throughout September, teens continued to express how meaningful the Library and Youth Services staff have become in their lives. During weekly programs, participants shared powerful reflections about what the space and relationships mean to them:

“The library is my safe space.”

“Karina is the first adult that I actually trust.” “The library is a place where I can be free.”

These statements reflect the deep sense of safety, acceptance, and belonging that the Library provides. The consistent engagement of teens each week demonstrates the growing trust between youth and staff, reinforcing the Library’s role as a supportive and inclusive environment where teens feel seen, heard, and valued.

Adult Services

(Updates from Alex and Aurora)

Spanish Conversation Group Grows Community Engagement

The Spanish Conversation Group has experienced increased attendance throughout September as word spread to nearby patrons who have been studying Spanish at other locations. The group continues to provide an engaging and supportive environment for learners to practice conversational Spanish and build confidence in a relaxed setting. Participation has grown, with some sessions drawing up to nine attendees.
From ESL to CLC
Two former English as a Second Language students shared that they are now attending classes at the College of Lake County. They expressed deep gratitude for the laptops they received through the Library’s Digital Navigation program, which allowed them to participate in online courses and continue their education.
Research Support Reconnects Patron to Highwood History
The Adult Services Manager received a unique reference question from a patron seeking a detailed residential map of Highwood from 1907. After researching the request, the librarian located a digital version of the map for the patron to view. The patron expressed sincere appreciation, and explained that her family was visiting Highwood to explore their roots and learn more about where their relatives lived over 100 years ago. This interaction reflects the Library’s commitment to providing personalized support that connects patrons with local history and fosters meaningful community connections.

Health Equity (Updates

from Yenny and Viridiana)

Seniors Explore Wellness at the Chicago Botanic Garden

The Library facilitates weekly wellness programming for Latine seniors focused on social connection and well-being. On September 24, in collaboration with the Highland Park Public Library, the group visited the Chicago Botanic Garden. Twelve community members participated and enjoyed walking through nature displays filled with vibrant fall colors, pausing in different gardens to reflect and be present. One participant shared, “By being here, I didn’t even think about what the community is going through.” The group expressed gratitude for the opportunity and appreciation for programs that invest in their well-being. This collaboration continues to strengthen social and emotional wellness among senior participants.

Youth Mental Health First Aid Training Empowers Caregivers

In September, we offered a Youth Mental Health First Aid Training in collaboration with the Highland Park Public Library. This training was facilitated by Viridiana Gonzalez, Highwood Library’s Lead Case Manager and Diana Alvey, Social Services Coordinator at the Highland Park Public Library.

Youth Mental Health First Aid is designed to teach parents, family members, caregivers, teachers and other adults who regularly interact with young people (age 12-18) how to support their mental health. This included information on how to support addiction challenges and crises that arise. Participants attended a 2-day training where they learned a 5-step action plan for how to help young people in both crisis and non-crisis situations.

Attendees reported feeling that the environment of the training was a welcoming, safe space allowing them to share their own experiences and learn from one another. They added this made them feel less alone as other people had similar experiences. They also reflected on how helpful this training was and how important it is for parents and caregivers to learn about mental health in order to decrease the stigma surrounding this topic. – 12 participants
