Select Board asks library to explain fee proposals before raising program fees
Summary
Board members discussed library revenue and a proposed modest increase in program fees; they asked the town administrator (John) to invite library representative Isabelle to explain fee impacts before the board finalizes numbers.
The board examined library revenue lines and an apartment‑rental line previously proposed at $800/month. Committee member (S3) recommended inviting Isabelle (library representative) to a future meeting to explain program fees and donation practices before approving changes: “I think we should invite Isabelle to a meeting to talk to her about it,” S3 said.
Members discussed modest fee increases (one suggestion was a 10% rise) and agreed John (town administrator) should meet with Isabelle and report back so the board can decide whether to plug a higher number into the draft budget. The board also discussed library fundraising channels and the new website donation portal that may affect operations revenue.
