Summary

Treasurer reported staff salaries at roughly 50% of the budget and noted about 60% of the book budget remains; board discussed spending AARP grant funds and timing for Q3 allotment expected in April.

Treasurer (speaker 4) presented the monthly report and said there was nothing alarming to report: staff salaries are at roughly 50% of their expected allotment and the library has not spent much of its AARP grant. "We're not spending very much of our AARP grant," the treasurer said, and urged the board to consider program spending to use allocated funds.

Board members noted the book budget remains largely unused (about 60% remaining), with plans to order from a new jobber after their first order, and discussed timing for upcoming allotments — Q3 is expected next month in April — and how that affects decisions about purchases and contingency funds.
