Trustees approve 2026 budget and routine business at Jan. 6 meeting
Summary
At their Jan. 6 meeting, the Burlington Public Library Board of Trustees approved minutes and bills, adopted the 2026 budget with a 3.7% cut to Books and Materials, and recorded a request for more detail on part-time wage figures in the 2025 financial report.
The Burlington Public Library Board of Trustees met Jan. 6, 2026, and voted to approve routine items including the December minutes and payment of bills. The board also adopted the library’s 2026 budget, which reduces spending by 3.7% and takes that reduction from the Library Books and Materials allocation.
Trustees Cindy Lint moved to approve the December minutes and Carol Doyle seconded; the motion passed. The board approved payment of bills after a motion moved by Carol Doyle and seconded by Maria Yazzolino. The 2026 budget was recorded as approved in new business; the meeting record does not specify who moved or seconded the budget motion.
Members flagged the 2025 year-to-date financial report for an overage in certain areas and noted that part-time wages totals “are not adding up”; trustees requested additional information to reconcile those figures. The board set its next meeting for Feb. 3, 2026, at 6 p.m.
