Library board approves sign repair and new curbside book return already budgeted
Summary
The board discussed reactivating the library's electronic sign and purchasing a Kingsley outdoor curbside book return. The sign vendor quoted a small service call and $350/year for cellular service; the book return is the Kingsley 50 series in sandstone and will be bolted to a new concrete pad.
Library staff told the board on March 10 that two facility upgrades already included in the library’s budget will proceed: reactivating the outdoor electronic sign and installing a new curbside book return.
Staff said the company that originally supplied the sign, based in Nashville, quoted a small service call to restore the cellular connection and software access (quoted in the transcript as $17.50 for the visit) and a recurring cellular/software fee of $350 per year. Staff reported the work could be completed in one to two days, possibly this week.
On the curbside return, staff said the library will purchase a Kingsley 50‑series outdoor return in a sandstone finish to match the building. The unit will be bolted to a recently poured concrete pad and includes one movable cart for internal handling. Staff estimated the unit’s capacity at about 350 books (or about 600 videos if loaded separately). The board confirmed the items are included in the current budget and staff will proceed with procurement and installation.
Board members asked that camera coverage include the curbside area; staff confirmed existing exterior cameras capture cars that pull up to the return.
