The Moon Township Library Board of Trustees met on November 28, 2022, and took a number of concrete actions. The board approved the minutes from the August meeting. During community comments, a resident expressed interest in an open trustee position, suggested a mobile library for seniors, inquired about a capital funds campaign, and recommended greater visibility in publications like Allegheny West magazine. The board then held an executive session from 6:15 to 7:04 p.m. to discuss the 2023 budget. The treasurer reported a cash balance of $901,000, a year-to-date surplus of $53,000 (which is $69,000 above budget), and revenue of $436,000 (which is $37,000 above budget). Expenses stood at $383,000, which is $32,000 under budget, with personnel costs $49,000 below budget. The board unanimously approved the treasurer’s report. The director’s report noted that the proposed 2023 budget had been submitted and would be forwarded to the township and the Allegheny County Library Association. The board also learned that the consortium had approved automatically forgiving library bills more than four years old, that a new catalog system is coming in 2023 (with noted drawbacks including no option to turn off comment sharing), and that the library received a $1,000 Workforce Development grant for adult career development materials. The board unanimously approved the director’s report. The personnel committee reported that the 2023 updated payroll had been approved by the board. The fundraising committee highlighted a December cookie box sale and noted that 28 Icelandic Christmas kits and about 25 cookie boxes had been sold. The board unanimously approved the proposed 2023 budget. The meeting adjourned at 7:00 p.m., with the next meeting scheduled for December 21.The Moon Township Library Board of Trustees met on November 28, 2022, and took a number of concrete actions.
