3. Librarian’s report was read and accepted. The circulation numbers are slightly down but there have many snow days keeping people in or the library closed.
4. A devoted patron has requested that the DSL be kept on when the library is closed. After a short deliberation, it was once again decided that the DSL will be turned off when the library is closed due to the fact that it is free to us and should not be abused.
5. Last month Meg decided to try and switch story time to Mondays with the hope that she would have a better turnout. Since that time people have been showing up on Wednesdays. Meg has decided to keep the regular time slot on Wed.
6. Trustee minutes can now be posted on the new bradfordnh.org website. So as soon as they are typed they are to be forwarded to Meg at the library who will have them posted.
