Old business:
- Donna reported on the progress of the budget. On December 8 the Capital Improvement Program will meet with the Selectmen; on December 15 the Budget Advisory Committee makes its recommendation to the Board of Selectmen. Dick noted that the Capital Improvement Program has requested $25,000 for the Library and $40,000 for a generator for the Library.
New business:
- Donna reported that Covid vaccine clinic has been scheduled to be held in the Library on December 6, from 2 to 5 pm. It will offer both Pfizer and Moderna boosters, as well as vaccines for children.
- Donna noted that the Library will be sponsoring a local author book fair on Dec. 4,11 and 18, from 9:30 to 11:30, featuring eight local authors.
- Jeff brought up the possibility of installing solar panels on the roof of Library. It was noted that the building actually belongs to the selectmen and would need to go through their office. Also approval would need to be given by LCHIP, as the library is in a stewardship with them.
