Library Board of Trustee Meeting
Trustees elected officers (Chair Jessica Ducrow; Vice Chair Mak Marstaller; Secretary Laurie Cameron), adopted the revised Library Collection Development Policy (Option 1 formatting), and continued a decision on using Trustee Trust Fund money for project management of the window restoration to the next meeting.
The Amesbury Public Library Board of Trustees met on January 8, 2025. The board completed officer elections (Chair: Jessica Ducrow; Vice Chair: Mak Marstaller; Secretary: Laurie Cameron, with Alex Matthews as backup) and confirmed sub-committee and ad-hoc task force memberships. Trustees adopted Option 1 formatting for future policies and voted to accept the revised Library Collection Development Policy; the Director will submit that policy to KP Law for review. The Friends of the Library liaison was confirmed (Mak Marstaller).
Facilities and operations updates were presented: a recurring water leak in Tech Services was traced to a leaky pipe and repaired, ongoing items from the Facilities Master Plan and capital projects (including window restoration, HVAC monitoring, and emergency lighting) remain in progress, and the board is using the FMP to inform this year’s capital request. The board voted to continue the specific Trustee Trust Fund allocation decision for project management services (Bruner Cott window restoration quote) until the next meeting. No public comments were made.
