New Business - Bike Share temporary location at the library Casey Hagerty detailed the need for a temporary location for six Bike Share bikes while the Visitors’ Center is under construction. Trustees visited the proposed site and discussed options. The consensus was to locate the bikes on the concrete pad on the Massachusetts Avenue near the library’s display case. Howard made a motion to relocate the Bike Share to the concrete pad on Massachusetts Ave, with the understanding that it will serve as a temporary location for no longer than six months, and that the bench that currently sits on the pad will be returned at the end of the program. Eileen seconded the motion which was approved unanimously. Administrative Update Koren detailed an incident that involved a fight outside the Children’s Room. The library is working with police on next steps. Trustees discussed the incident and the consensus is that the board does not need to meet again before any action takes place.

Lauren Furtado will be joining as a part-time Office Manager which is part of a new job share.
