The Santa Monica Library Board voted unanimously to approve its calendar of regular meetings for 2026, settling on Jan. 15 for the board’s January meeting after members raised travel and holiday conflicts.
Member Cody moved to adopt the schedule, and Member Meister seconded. The clerk conducted a roll-call vote; Chair Newman, Vice Chair Lynn, Member Meister and Member Cody recorded 'yes' votes and the motion carried 4–0. The board noted Member Spears was running late and expected to join later but was not needed for the vote.
Board members discussed rotating meeting locations among branches to increase public visibility and flagged a planned joint meeting with partner agencies early in the year. Staff confirmed that calendar items will be entered into the city calendar after approval and that minor adjustments can be made before publication.
The adopted calendar will guide meeting locations and dates for the coming year; the board agreed to confirm details for the joint meeting and any venue rotations in follow-up communications.
