Library targets mid-September reopening; trustees address missing deposit slips

Londonderry Budget Committee · August 25, 2026

Summary

Library liaison said remediation, new carpeting and mold testing are underway with a mid-September reopening target; trustees reported missing deposit slips from an account transfer but confirmed funds are present and are working with staff to resolve audit documentation.

The committee heard a report on the library’s remediation and budget planning. The liaison said the library is working through carpet replacement, cleaning, elevator repairs and roof issues, and is targeting a mid-September reopening pending additional mold testing.

"Mid September is the target," the liaison said, describing the timeline and outstanding work on rooftop units and moisture issues. Members discussed insurance claims covering some replacements and the library’s interest in revenue opportunities such as serving as a U.S. passport acceptance facility. A trustee matter was raised: when the library trustees switched bank accounts there were missing deposit slips associated with the transfer; the liaison said the money is present but documentation is incomplete and that the issue could be noted in the audit report.

Staff said they will follow up with the treasurer on outstanding bank documentation and with the library about any warrant-article requests for maintenance or staffing changes.
