The West Florida Public Libraries’ website for its Board of Governance no longer lists its meeting schedule or its most recent agendas and minutes. The link “Agendas & Minutes” also no longer works, cutting off the public from understanding what the board has been doing. The links have been invaluable in my research of the WFPL operations since Christal Bell-Rivera as named the interim library services director last August.
Inweekly asked County Public Information Officer Kaycee Lagarde about the issue. She wrote, “I’ll have to check since library staff manages their website. I’ll let you know, thanks!”
She reported back: “I checked with staff and confirmed that they have not made any changes to that webpage, so it seems to be an IT issue. We have IT looking into it and I will let you know when it is back up. ”
Fortunately, we have downloaded many of the minutes:
