LIBRARY DIRECTORS REPORT

Our beloved former Library President, Anne M. Thomas, died on September 11, 2022. The board discussed options to commemorate her extensive contributions to the library over the years. For the short term we approved spending up to $100 to send a card and flowers. Jane will take care of this.  Warren suggested that we brainstorm ideas for something more signification and permanent. This will be discussed in future meetings.

Shawn will set up a meeting with SSP for the basement remediation at Sept 23 or 30 at 9:30 am.  Children’s librarian Debbie Moore completed a wonderful summer program. The board wanted to give Debbie special recognition for her hard work.  

Should we go fine free? Shawn will send out a link to some materials and a PPT presentation so we can better understand the issue, to be discussed in future meetings.

The meeting was adjourned by Jane at 10:20 AM.
