Treasurer’s Report

Old Business:

  1. Dave Galluccio re-wired the computers so that the Librarian’s computer now controls the network.

New Business:

  1. Trustees worked on the upcoming budget.

  1. Trustees will be asking for increased hours for the assistant librarians in order to facilitate the processing of books (card cataloging, pockets for the cards in the books…in general, the work it takes to get a new book properly ready for lending).

  1. Trustees ask that the town will approve a warrant article (at Town Meeting 2005) for a much needed, reliably-working copier.

  1. Trustees will have a second warrant article: 202-A:4-d. This article authorizes the Library Trustees to accept gifts other than money (e.g. book donations) valued at less that $5000 without holding a public hearing.
