Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 32 subject tags
The Moon Township Library Board of Trustees met on March 23, 2022, but lacked a quorum, so no motions or votes were taken. The president opened the meeting at 6:09 p.m. The treasurer reported an overall cash balance just over $900,000, increasing monthly. Revenue appeared $59,000 over budget, primarily due to ARPA funds and state aid; the ARPA money was allocated to eResources through ACLA and never actually held by the library. Expected state aid of nearly $70,000 was budgeted but not yet reflected in the treasurer’s spreadsheet. Expenses were $5,000 under budget, mostly from lower programming and collections costs due to prior-year grant reserves still being spent. The audit came back clean and was submitted to ACLA and the state. The township’s first quarterly payment and the 2021 Challenge Grant had not been received. The director reported the library is in the running for a $5,000 Eaton grant for a “caught reading” promotion. Previous grants funded a LEGO table, kitchenette playset, and children’s toys. Four more hotspots will be acquired using prior FedEx/Eaton grant money. The library received $3,231 from the Pittsburgh Foundation for general operations, a tabletop game bundle from the Spiel Foundation, a Pro Tech Toolkit from iFixit, and donations from estates. Teen Battle of the Books had 345 participants. The reading therapy dog returned. The library is working with Hello Neighbor to create welcome bundles for Afghan refugees. The director will serve as county rep for the Pittsburgh District Executive Committee. ACLA will launch a mobile app on March 29 offering a mobile catalog, item requests, and self-checkout of holds. Fundraising committee reported a Bag of Books and bake sale on May 14-15, a Readers & Eaters event with Project Four Twelve every Wednesday in April, an annual appeal, and a possible murder mystery event to replace Moon Shine. No old or new business was discussed. The next meeting is scheduled for April 27 at 6:00 p.m.The Moon Township Library Board of Trustees met on March 23, 2022, but lacked a quorum, so no motions or votes were taken.
