Expansion/Renovation Update:- Progress was being made. The Legal Survey had now been completed. The Library Board’s sub-committee had met with Peak Engineering and the Township’s Operations Manager and the final drawings were near completion. Certain costs had increased (concrete blocks required to build the walls of the new extension, according to code, given the completion of the legal survey) and savings would be found elsewhere. More news to follow as and when.
7. Library Website Re-design – CEO explained that the Adobe software used for the library website was going to lose it’s support in the coming months and William Seaton needed to re-design the website because of this. Having met and discussed this, CEO sought the Board’s approval for a re-design costing $3,360 in 2019. After the splendid job (at no charge to the library) that had been done the first time, the Library Board gave its full support for the upgrade for the library website and the costs expressed. A motion was put in place to approve the costs of the re-design of the library website:-
