Friends of the Library receive $10,000 anonymous gift; request report on spending
Summary
The Friends reported a $10,000 anonymous donation and asked the city librarian for a detailed July report on how contributions are spent amid concerns about recent federal cutbacks.
The Friends of the Library told trustees they received an anonymous $10,000 donation and are considering how best to use the funds. The group reported changes to bylaws and officers and said there is one remaining vacancy to run their book sale program.
Board members and Friends representatives discussed the group's request for a detailed report from the city librarian in July showing how contributions are being spent, citing concern about federal funding cutbacks and the potential operational impact on the library. “They are quite anxious to know in very fine detail where the money's going,” a Friends representative said.
