Lyons also mentioned that it can be difficult to watch the council meetings online as the microphones don’t pick up voices well and there are often sounds such as tapping that make it even harder to hear. Lyons said that she tried to attend the latest library board meeting based on the information available online, but when she arrived, she found out that the meeting had actually been held the week before, potentially violating open meeting laws.
