Library circulation falls 14%; Chamber asks city to consider event insurance and PA fundraising
Summary
Library Representative Nick Gunderson told the council that circulation is down 14% year-over-year and the library will not fill a recent staff vacancy; Chamber Representative Cathy Spiegelberg asked the city to consider carrying liability insurance for Boo Fest and Horse & Buggy Days while describing fundraising plans for a new Main Street PA system.
Nick Gunderson, the new Library Representative, told the council circulation at the Weyauwega public library is down 14% compared with this time last year, noted the retirement of Frank Zaboj and said Anndi Loken's recent resignation will not be immediately replaced because library staff believe they can cover the duties.
Cathy Spiegelberg, the Chamber Representative, briefed the council on 2025 event planning and asked the city to consider carrying liability insurance for upcoming events including Boo Fest and Horse & Buggy Days. She said the Chamber is planning a fundraiser to purchase a new public-address system for Main Street and is considering moving the event setup from the Brew Haus to City Hall.
Both presenters framed their updates as operational items for council awareness rather than requests for immediate council appropriation. The library update was presented during the Citizen Appearances portion of the agenda; the Chamber request was discussed under Chamber business.
