Trustee Marie Bradley moved that the Laconia Public Library accept the donation of an original Peter Ferber painting titled "Rotary Park Reflections," with the understanding that acceptance follow the Library's Donation and Gift Policy. Trustee Angela Vaillancourt seconded the motion, and the minutes record that "Motion passed unanimously."
The board recorded the donation under New Business and approved it without recorded amendment or conditions beyond the requirement to follow the library's donation policy. The motion as recorded in the minutes reads: "Bradley moved to accept the donation of the original Peter Ferber painting entitled \"Rotary Park Reflections\" with the understanding that the Library does so in keeping with our Donation and Gift Policy; Vaillancourt seconded.
