The Moon Township Library Board of Trustees met July 27 and approved the May meeting minutes. The board heard a community comment from a resident, who described his Eagle Scout service project planned for fall 2022, which includes cleaning and repairing the patio and surrounding sidewalks, building two benches, and constructing flower boxes and an herb garden. The treasurer reported a cash balance just over $900,000, with revenue of $260,000—$5,000 under budget due to a $17,000 shortfall in government grants, partially offset by direct contributions $17,000 over budget. Expenses totaled $221,000, $22,000 under budget, with personnel costs $34,000 below budget and program expenses and collections $6,000 over budget. Collections are at 17% of expenses against a year-end goal of 12%. All government funds have been spent. The board approved the treasurer’s report. The director reported that the library received a $5,000 Eaton Grant for STEM equipment, a $2,000 Grable Foundation grant for infant early literacy bags, and a Bounce Back to Story Time materials donation from the State Library and Department of Education. The library partnered with the BeeCause project to teach about local pollinators. The Story Stars Young Writers program is full with a waitlist, and adult book clubs have resumed with renewed interest. The township’s third-quarter payment was reduced by $2,500 to correct a 2021 overpayment. The PC replacement program was delayed until 2024, with leases renewed for one year. The board reviewed Love Your Library Month events in September, including a Kindness Carnival, Moon Wizarding Festival, Moe’s Taco Kit fundraiser, and a book sale. The personnel committee is seeking a full-time technology and reference assistant and a circulation clerk for 20-plus hours per week. The bylaws committee received sample bylaws from two similar libraries and will review proposed changes with the Allegheny County Library Association before presenting them to the board. The board noted that website minutes need updating beyond 2021 and that the site has a strikethrough text issue. No new business was discussed.
