Library budget includes building repairs and a small 'Library of Things' grant
Summary
The committee heard that library maintenance needs increased and the budget includes line items to address cracking and other repairs; the library will pilot a 'Library of Things' project with LEO and OSU Extension that includes $1,800 in donated equipment.
Staff told the committee the library building needs maintenance and that materials and services lines were increased for building upkeep. The presenter explained the library's building shows cracking and some interior repairs and the city budgeted those needs in M&S rather than as capital improvements.
The presenter also described a Library of Things collaboration: "LEO is providing $1,800 of food processing equipment, and OSU is providing resources on how to use the equipment." The project will complement the city's seed library and is timed for the summer growing season; staff said the city intends to apply for a facade grant for brickwork, though the application would be awarded next fiscal year and funded then.
