[Library Board] Board of Trustees

Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 28 subject tags

The Moon Township Public Library Board of Trustees met Dec. 17 and approved the October 2025 minutes with an amendment to add a signature line, the end time and reason for executive session, and the motions made during that closed session. During public comment, a resident reported that the Friends group held a fundraiser, attended the Chamber of Commerce, sponsored a holiday tree, and wrote a letter supporting a library grant from the Pizza Hut foundation. A MadMex fundraiser is planned with 44 tickets available, and the group granted $600 for holiday Jolobokoflod baskets, $1,542 for the children’s 2026 Battle of the Books, prizes, Tone Boxes, and storage bags for toys. A High Tea is planned for April 26 at Robin Hill. A trustee noted the Chamber of Commerce holds a nonprofit bartending fundraiser in April or May.

The board approved the treasurer’s report, noting year-end financials will be available after the February audit. Collections are 14% of expenses, in line with standards. The library is switching vendors; Ingram is 10% more expensive, but Amazon is less, so the net fee increase is nominal. The director reported the library will go fine-free Jan. 5, the last in the county to do so, and past late fees will be forgiven.

The personnel committee completed the director evaluation and self-evaluation, with all responses submitted anonymously. Six of seven trustee interviews are complete; the last is scheduled for Friday. Raw scores with anonymous evaluator comments will be sent to the Board of Supervisors and the township manager after the final interview. Both items were discussed in executive session. The fundraising committee reported strong results from Fall Fest, cookie boxes, and over-the-desk sales, with significant growth in individual giving and good growth in grants.

Under new business, the board approved a motion to establish a Strategic Planning committee. Under old business, the board approved the 2026 budget, amended to include 3% wage increases for staff excluding the director. A motion to amend the budget for a 4% director increase was withdrawn; the board then passed the draft budget with a 3% director wage increase. The board held officer nominations for secretary, treasurer, vice president, and president. After an executive session for personnel, the board approved $2,100 in staff holiday bonuses as proposed by the director. The next meeting is Jan. 21 at 6 p.m.
