Loading...
Summary
Board received a proposal from Dodd Memorial Library to install and register a Little Free Library on village grounds near the gazebo; a motion to approve installation was made and seconded but no vote was recorded in the minutes.
A representative reading a letter on behalf of Dodd Memorial Library asked the Village of Rouses Point Board of Trustees for approval to install a Little Free Library on municipal grounds near the village gazebo.
The correspondence explained that a Little Free Library is a freestanding book-sharing box where anyone may leave or take a book. The proposal described the gazebo site as accessible to pedestrians and vehicles, visible, safe, and close to Safe Harbor and Gaines Marina. The letter said the Little Free Library would be weather resistant, secured on a post, and maintained by library staff and "friends of the library," with the village maintenance crew asked to install it. The library planned to register the box with littlefreelibrary.org once the location is confirmed.
A trustee moved to approve installation of the Little Free Library and another trustee seconded the motion. The meeting transcript records the motion and second but does not record a roll-call vote or the final outcome in the public record provided.
The correspondence offered contact information for the library director for follow-up. No conditions, permit requirements, or installation dates were specified in the meeting discussion; the letter asked staff to confirm the exact location in consultation with municipal staff and to schedule installation at a time convenient for village employees.
