Treasurer’s Report: We continue to do
very well because of the Stock Market. There are no problems with any part of
our budget. Susan has not made any transfers from the TIAA-CREF fund to
date but has put in a request to do so soon. Our book sale revenue has
passed the amount budgeted. Michelle cannot accept any more donations at this
time
Librarian’s Report:
Interlibrary use continues to be up, mostly among newer
residents. The Nature and Books Discussion Group will continue into April
and May, followed by a summer break. Michelle plans to
continue the Lunch Box Book Group this summer, either outside or inside
as Covid conditions dictate.
Michelle
will be working with the Grafton Elementary School in conjunction with their
summer school program.
Pat
Mack, David Ross and Ginger Maciejowski are
volunteering on a regular basis or as needed.
There
is a display for Women’s History month and Michelle has placed two large orders
for juvenile literature as well as adult titles.
Old

officers: Chair, MaryBeth Culver; Secretary, Lucia

Buildings
and Grounds – Michelle has sent a down payment to Carpet Warehouse for the
installation of the carpet. The library will be closed on April 22nd through April 24th while the
building airs.
Ivor
Stevens has offered to remove the tree stump left by the removal of the crab
apple. Once done, he will be sent a thank you
note.
Johnson
Control inspected the fire extinguishers on Monday, March 22nd
and replaced two.
We
have received three bids to take care of trimming and cabling the maple.
It was decided to accept All About Trees’ bid of $600.00.
Jay felt he was very knowledgeable and competent and looks forward to working
with him.
New
Business: Jay will contact Kim and Eddie Mack to see if they have a
particular tree in mind to plant near the location of the old tree. If not,
Lucia will offer some suggestions. Jay will also check on the timing of
the planting.
