Librarian’s Report: Pumpkin Carving went well! The pumpkins will be judged on Halloween night and Tony is looking forward to handing out candy to the children. A book discussion/series will be happening soon; the book is called My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante & Ann Goldstein. A solar discussion with Rebecca Bosch and Becca White will take place on November 12th at 6:30pm. Caroling will be on December 18th at 6:30pm.
Unfinished Business: MAINTENANCE- Mike Barr has been working on many things for us, most recently he moved a pile of debris from the backside of the building that was left from the painters this summer. Andy Pazlowski checked the heat sensor in the childrens room-all is well. Someone from Rymes Propane will be coming on Thursday the 29th to check the fire place. The elevator flex hose is to be installed soon. AUTOMATION- The start up check has been mailed to Russ at Catamount. We are weighing our options to either prepare the online card catalogue in house with many volunteer hours and extra work for the librarian or ship the catalogue out and pay a great deal for that service. The conversation will continue.
No New Business
Summary of Decisions: Tony will get more info regarding automation
