Library Trustees - 9/14/2022

 

The 2nd meeting of 2022 was opened at 5:30 pm with Trustees Roger Daniels, Lorrie Eaton, and Stacie Winsor present. Also attending were Susan Turbyne, Library Director, and T J Baumann.

Lorrie moved that the minutes from our meeting on March 8th, 2022, be approved as presented. The motion was seconded by Stacie and unanimously passed. The approved minutes will be forwarded to the town office and placed on the Rumney Library Trustees Blog.

A cash flow report for 2022 1st and 2nd Quarters (January 1 – June 30, 2022) was presented. Lorrie moved that the report be approved. The motion was seconded by Stacie and unanimously approved.

Roger has made it known that he is ready for retirement and with that in mind, I have invited TJ Baumann to join us.  TJ, his wife Jordan, and their two young children live on Mill Street. He and Jordan are both in the education field, are avid readers, and are quick to volunteer when something needs to be done. For these reasons I approached him about being on the board.

Lorrie moved that the Board accept Roger Daniels’ resignation and appoint Thomas James Baumann to finish the year until next year’s town election. The motion was seconded by Stacie and unanimously approved.

It was a sad day when our chair, Roger Daniels, announced that he was ready for retirement after serving on the Library Board of Trustees for thirty-three years! Roger has been totally supportive of the goings on at the library for the eighteen years I have been here. He has brought a wealth of knowledge about the building and has always been great moral support. He will be missed. The Board thanked Roger and welcomed TJ.

Since this is our first meeting since the Rumney Town election, officers were elected. Our newest trustee, TJ Baumann, moved that Lorrie Eaton serve as chair and Stacie Winsor continue as treasurer. The motion was seconded by Lorrie and unanimously approved.

With no further business, it was agreed that we adjourn and meet again in November to approve our budget request.

Respectfully submitted,
Susan Turbyne, Director
