Friends report $14,800 trust income, book sale proceeds and gift for plaque
Summary
The Friends of the Library reported roughly $14,800 received into trust management, a book sale that raised $2,405, and a $1,000 donation from the Lions Club earmarked for a dedication plaque for the new library; commissioners discussed plaque design and donor recognition mechanics (including a potential rotating digital donor board).
A representative of the Friends of the Library reported recent fundraising: trust-management receipts of about $14,800 over three months, and a successful book sale that raised $2,405. The Friends representative noted the group had been awarded $1,000 from the Lions Club to pay for a dedication plaque for the new library.
The group reviewed plaque options and donor-recognition approaches, including a traditional engraved plaque and a rotating donor display (a monitor or panel that could show donor tiers). The Friends representative said the plaque would thank financial donors and focus on those who contributed materially to making the project happen: "We are thanking the people that have given us money, that we're not the people that are responsible for building the library." Commissioners indicated no objection to the approach and suggested a combined plaque and reader board could conserve space while honoring donors.
