Board begins preliminary discussion on sale of current building and possible proceeds split
Summary
The board discussed exploring sale of the town‑owned current building, noting deeds are on file and opening a preliminary conversation about how proceeds should be used—options include retaining funds for library needs or sharing proceeds with the town.
Board members returned to a recurring topic: what would happen to proceeds if the current library building is sold. The chair noted the building is town‑owned and suggested the board should discuss with the Select Board whether proceeds could be retained by the library or split with the town. "We would like it all in our coffers," the chair said, but the group acknowledged the town's broader infrastructure needs could be a factor.
Members emphasized the subject is preliminary and depends on sale price, town positions and other variables. The board agreed to ask town staff (Robin) for market guidance on pricing and to continue the conversation ahead of the strategic planning session; no decisions were made at this meeting.
