The Moon Township Library Board of Trustees met Jan. 25 and began by approving December 2022 minutes, with a trustee abstaining. A community member thanked the board and pledged continued support. New trustees were introduced. The board voted on officers: a trustee for president, a trustee for vice president, a trustee for secretary, and a trustee for treasurer; a trustee was nominated as assistant treasurer. All nominees were approved, with a trustee abstaining. Committee chairs were selected: fundraising (a trustee), bylaws (a trustee), personnel (two trustees co-chairs), finance (a trustee), community outreach (a trustee), and building improvement (a trustee). Two trustees were assigned to all committees. The board discussed inviting the Friends of the Library to join the community outreach and building improvement committees. The president’s report was approved, noting thanks to a departing member. The treasurer’s report, using November 2022 numbers, showed a cash balance just under $900,000, a year-to-date surplus of $37,000, revenue of $456,000 ($37,000 over budget), direct contributions of $45,000 ($17,000 over budget), government grants of $387,000 ($20,000 over budget), and expenses of $419,000 ($32,000 under budget). Personnel costs were $275,000, $52,000 under budget. The audit was expected to be clean; a hurdle with an FNB annuity statement was resolved. The board discussed a CFCU error that mistakenly cleared an ACH payment from the library’s CD account; CFCU will provide a letter taking responsibility. The board will review and revise active bank accounts. The director’s report highlighted children’s programming partnerships with Laughlin and WQED, a teen Pokemon Cafe, Battle of the Books, and adult nature book outreach with parks and rec. Goals for 2023 include ADA-accessible doors, bookshelf replacement, a new book drop, and a usable database. Old business included a recap of Clearview issues. New business included an American Library Association self-paced course and a $5,000 universal vacation raffle donated by a resident, with tickets sold starting March 23 for the May 4 lottery. The meeting adjourned at 7:44 p.m.
