Longer-form draft.
At the Abbott Library Trustees meeting on June 23, several decisions were made that will change how the library operates and who can access its services. First, the board agreed to move toward discontinuing the library's CD collection. While Trustees noted that circulation is extremely low and suggested patrons use digital services like Hoopla or interlibrary loans, this represents a direct reduction in physical media available to the community. Second, the board is looking to tighten residency requirements for library cards. This includes reviewing how visiting clergy and the family members of residents (such as adult children or grandchildren) access the library. The board is currently researching how other libraries handle these provisions to determine a new formal policy. Finally, a looming question of fiscal responsibility was raised regarding the library's HVAC system. Because the system is a proprietary Trane model, maintenance is complex and expensive. The board noted there is currently ambiguity regarding whether the library or the Town of Sunapee is responsible for these costs. Trustees plan to follow up with the town to clarify this responsibility and check for existing agreements. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/sunapee/library-trustees/2026-06-23/ #MeetingWatch #SunapeeNH
