The Moon Township Library Board met on October 27, 2021, and approved the September meeting minutes. The board reviewed the treasurer’s report, which showed a cash balance of slightly over $883,000, a $68,000 increase since January, and a surplus of $75,000 due largely to savings in personnel costs. The board voted to shift additional funds into investment accounts, which have yielded about 9% over the past 18 months. The board approved sending the township a baseline budget with no increase in funding. The library director reported that no new hires are expected in 2022 due to continued COVID-19 restrictions, though she hopes to add a librarian within the next two to three budgets. The Love Your Library fundraiser generated $9,319.33, which will be matched by the Buncher Foundation. The board approved a new Filming and Photography in the Library Policy. In preparation for the November 22 supervisors’ meeting, the board discussed talking points to advocate for a 10% funding increase in 2023, emphasizing that the library lacks a viable pathway for the future and that no decisions have been made. The building improvements committee reported that progress is stalled while awaiting a meeting with Robert Morris University regarding a potential building purchase; the board will follow up with the township engineer and Robert Morris University. The board also discussed plans for 2022 fundraising events, including a taco kit sale in January and a spring book sale. The next meeting is scheduled for November 17 at 6:30 p.m.The Moon Township Library Board met on October 27, 2021, and approved the September meeting minutes.
