please complete a Speaker Card available from the Main Library and submit it to the Library's
Administrative Assistant. Please be sure to indicate the Agenda Item # you wish to address or the topic of
your public comment. California law prevents the Board of Trustees from taking action on any item not on
the Agenda (except in emergency circumstances). Your question or problem may be referred to staff for
