Board agrees to explore joining Harrison County Library System and accepts $800 Friends grant
Summary
The board authorized staff to negotiate participation in the Harrison County Library System subject to a mutually agreeable interlocal agreement and accepted an $800 Friends of Mississippi Libraries grant, noting the library currently lacks a board president to sign documents.
City Attorney Steve recapped a staff-prepared resolution authorizing discussions with Harrison County about Long Beach Public Library’s participation in the county library system and said the resolution authorizes negotiation of an interlocal participation agreement subject to mutual consent. The board approved the resolution by roll call.
The board also accepted an $800 Friends of Mississippi Libraries grant for the local library; staff noted the library currently lacks a chair or president to sign the grant and that staff will ensure the proper official signature is obtained when trustees are seated. Members thanked departing library trustees whose resignations the board accepted earlier in the meeting.
