Library trustees review a $48,000 interior renovation quote, maintenance priorities and staffing steps; pancake breakfast set for May 24
Summary
Trustees discussed an on‑hold $48,000 quote for children’s-room and sitting-room updates, listed maintenance and safety fixes, agreed to pursue hiring an accountant to resolve bookkeeping issues, and confirmed a community pancake breakfast on May 24.
At the April 20 meeting the Paul Memorial Library Board of Trustees reviewed facilities and operational items, including an estimated $48,000 quote for interior work on the children’s room and sitting room, maintenance needs and personnel follow-ups, according to minutes submitted by Clerk Jack Parnham.
The minutes list several maintenance priorities — repointing the front steps, updating emergency-stair access, replacing the back door and key system, and considering an emergency alert system. The interior project (design, furniture and treatment) was noted as "on hold" pending updated quotes. The board discussed staff reviews and salary adjustments: Brittney received a review and the board expects a signed copy with any comments; the minutes also record action to hire an accountant to correct Quicken/QuickBooks issues, with Win Fream tasked to ask Sue for assistance. The board confirmed community activities including a pancake breakfast fundraiser on May 24 from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.; Win Fream agreed to purchase food and the board planned to post flyers.
The board scheduled its next meeting for May 12, 2026, and recorded general cleanup tasks for the basement and other areas. The minutes do not contain contested votes or detailed timelines for the quoted interior work.
