The Moon Township Library Board of Trustees met on Feb. 22 and approved the January minutes, the president’s report, and the treasurer’s report. The treasurer reported a stable cash balance of $893,000, a year-to-date surplus of $29,000, revenue of $504,000, and expenses of $475,000. Direct contributions exceeded budget by $35,000, while personnel costs came in $44,000 under budget. The annual audit is nearly complete, pending a final annuity statement, and auditors advised booking an accounts receivable for an erroneous mortgage payment taken from the library’s CFCU account. The fundraising committee reported progress on a potential purse bash for November, targeting 250 attendees, with raffles every 20 minutes and mini raffles in between. Organizers are seeking a venue after losing access to Crescent Township Fire Department, and have contacted Forest Grove and Hopewell fire departments, St. Phillips, St. Margaret Mary, Impact Church, the Elks, and the Carpenter’s Union. The committee also needs to reserve the township building for the book sale. The community outreach committee suggested guest speakers on current events, such as a Pitt professor on toxic waste exposure, and discussed partnering with a retired nurse’s organization that provides meals, deep cleaning, and painting for seniors, though trustees noted the library cannot take on the role of a volunteer service organization. The building committee, with two supervisors as liaisons, is in year five of a 10-year lease. A grant writer has been contacted, and trustees are working to finalize improvement plans to gain supervisor support. An employee informed the board that supervisors are initiating a study on merging with other libraries and potentially closing the Moon Library. The next meeting is March 22 at 6 p.m.The Moon Township Library Board of Trustees met on Feb. 22 and approved the January minutes, the president’s report, and the treasurer’s report.
