On the afternoon of June 4, 2026, LION replied to Pottsboro Independent School District after reviewing the morning’s production of nine PDFs responsive to POTTSBOROISD-PIA-001, asking whether the district could re-run the three campus library catalog files as Excel (.xlsx) or comma-separated values (CSV) instead of PDF.

The reason: when the catalogs were exported to PDF, the text emerged squeezed into a narrow strip along the left edge of each page in a very small font, making title and author columns hard to read even when zoomed in. The pattern is a common print-style report-export quirk — most library management systems (Follett Destiny, Alexandria, Mackin VIA, and similar platforms) include a “Title List” or equivalent native report that produces a clean spreadsheet directly from the existing reporting menu, with no reformatting needed on the district’s end.

The Texas Public Information Act, codified at Government Code Chapter 552, requires a public body to produce responsive records but does not strictly bind the district to a requester’s preferred format. LION’s original May 29 request had identified Excel, CSV, or native export as the preferred delivery formats for exactly this reason — those formats are generally available from existing library-system reporting functions without additional staff time.
