Library Director Landgraf reported a strong year-end budget and said staff have applied for two grants—one to expand the collection and another to provide a tablet that patrons could use for telehealth calls at the library. The library is pursuing grants to increase services and improve access to telehealth for residents without home devices.

The council approved the appointment of a new library board member, C. Copp, and reappointed M. Eckerman to the board on a motion by Henrich, seconded by Nielsen; the motion passed unanimously. Landgraf said the grants, if awarded, would be used to broaden materials and add the telehealth tablet for public use.
