The Moon Township Public Library Board of Trustees met on October 25 and approved the September meeting minutes. There was no public comment. The board welcomed a new trustee. The treasurer reported that they would follow up with an employee on the status of Wilpen fundraising money and asked the Allegheny County Library Association about investing. The director’s report highlighted that staff will visit Tapestry Senior Living monthly for craft classes, and the Letters to Santa program opens November 27, with letters mailed to homes this year. The library is working with Moon Area High School to secure digital resource cards for grades 7-12. The Love Your Library Month fundraiser raised $11,449.50, a 62.2% increase from 2022, with 65 donors including 10 new ones; all funds are eligible for a pro-rated match from the Jack Buncher Foundation, to be announced in December and distributed in 2024. The state aid plan is due November 21, and the state report will be shared with the public and township supervisors in early 2024. For the 2024 budget, the RAD formula is frozen but includes a 4% increase for libraries; the library faces a 40% increase in computer equipment costs and a nearly 200% increase in Microsoft licensing, so it plans to reduce the number of public computers. The board suggested passing a draft budget in November and adjusting in December. In-house fundraising includes a November 4 Purse Bash, with detailed setup plans discussed, including ticket pricing for Louis Vuitton and other bags, basket tickets, paint stick sales, card games, and signage. The board also discussed Jolabokaflod bag sales and cookie box sales opening November 13. The building committee will meet with supervisors on October 27 to discuss the budget and building. The next meeting is November 29. The meeting adjourned.The Moon Township Public Library Board of Trustees met on October 25 and approved the September meeting minutes. There was no public comment.
