Present: Carolyn Coffey(Chair),Catherine O'Callaghan,Catherine Harvey,Marylou
Lawrence,Sarah Pease,Meagan Brinzey,and Library Director Meaghan James
Meeting called to order,6:00 pm
1. Because a quorum was not present at the July 1 Oth meeting, the June B and July
warrant, which were previously signed by the chair for payment, were presented
and approved. An additional request to pay for a stringed quintet performance was
also approved.
2. Trustees discussed the current meeting room policy in light of learning that
teachers were using the meeting rooms for exclusive, profit-making book groups.
In the past, the trustees have agreed that for-profit events should not be allowed in
meeting rooms—and reaffirmed that at this meeting—but this idea is not currently
reflected in the policy. Trustees also discussed whether, and under what
circumstances, the library might charge for meeting room usage.No vote was
taken. The director will collect information on neighboring town library policies
and will work on the language of the policy to present for a vote at the Aug 14
trustee meeting.
Meeting adjourned 7:OOpm.
