📋 Abbott Library Trustees — Meeting Recap (March 26, 2026, Town of Sunapee) The Abbott Library Trustees held their regular meeting on March 26, electing new officers, reviewing finances, and planning for summer events. The meeting was largely routine and collegial. **Officer Elections:** Bev was elected Chair, Sue as Vice Chair, Tim as Treasurer, and Emma as Secretary — all approved unanimously. **Non-Public Session:** The board voted unanimously to enter a non-public session at the end of the meeting under RSA 91-A:3 II(a), which typically covers personnel matters. Chair Bev noted it would be 'multi-stepped' with 'a lot to be discussed.' Non-public sessions are a legitimate legal tool. Residents should watch for the published minutes to learn what was addressed. **Treasurer Succession:** Tim was re-elected as treasurer but stated he does not intend to serve beyond next year. No successor has been identified yet. The board assigned itself to recruit throughout the year. The treasurer role requires specific financial skills and handles a publicly funded institution's accounts — this is worth following. **Finances:** The library received an additional $13,639 from the town after reconciling the 2025 budget, which the chair described as a legal entitlement under RSA to the full appropriation. February expenditures of $7,702.18 were approved. The board also adopted a new internal control requiring two officer signatures for debit card transactions over $100 or recurring charges. **Library Usage:** Director Jeff reported a 119% increase in local use — an encouraging sign for the community. **Events:** The board is planning for a July 4th book sale and pancake breakfast, with a unified promotional flyer being designed by Rebecca. Volunteer coordination and advertising efforts are underway. Official minutes from the March 26 meeting have not yet been published.
