All in favor. Motion passes.
Board discusses WYFSS’s request to store education preschool materials in the “unused/unfinished” portion of the downstairs. The Board discussed that WYFSS was mistakenly under the assumption that the unfinished room in the library is unused, which it is not. Additionally, the WPL currently does not have a policy written concerning non-library organizations to store non-library materials in the WPL.
Nancy Bailey is going to write a letter to WYFSS outlining the Board’s discussion.
ADJOURN
Katherine Kalagher-Ryan made a motion to adjourn at 8:45 p.m. Dorothy Drobney seconded. All in favor. Motion passes.
Respectfully Submitted,
Katherine Kalagher-Ryan, Secretary
