Friends of the Library donates $2,500 for launchpads; board to process budget amendment
Summary
The Friends of the Library donated $2,500 to buy additional launchpads for the Saratoga Springs Library; the board was told staff will purchase the devices and bring a budget amendment so the donation offsets the expense and eases repair/maintenance handling.
The Saratoga Springs Library Board on May 12 was notified that the Friends of the Library donated $2,500 to the City to purchase additional launchpads for patrons.
Library Director Melissa Grygla told the board the devices will be purchased directly by the library and that staff will process a budget amendment so the donation offsets the expense. The minutes state this approach will simplify future repair and maintenance handling should a device need service.
No formal vote was recorded on accepting the donation; the item was presented as part of the Friends report and will be implemented via the budget-amendment process. The director also flagged that salary and wage savings exist in the current budget, but the board has not approved using those savings for digital-content purchases.
