Friends ask board to fund Launchpads after $10,000 video game grant
Summary
Friends of the Library requested board funding to buy Launchpads for children’s use, noting a $10,000 grant to supplement the library’s video game collection; the board heard the report but took no formal funding vote at the March 10 meeting.
Friends of the Library representatives told the Saratoga Springs Library Board they are asking the board to fund Launchpad tablets to support children’s programming and circulation. The minutes state the library’s video game collection “received a $10,000 grant to supplement items,” and Clarissa discussed the request with Friends members at their Jan. 14, 2026 meeting.
Board members heard the report as part of regular business; no motion or vote to allocate funds was recorded in the minutes. The board’s next steps were not specified in the record; the Friends’ request remains pending future board consideration or a formal funding motion.
