Hubbardston Library Trustees reported significant progress in their recent meeting, highlighting a successful February with impressive attendance at events and the introduction of 14 new library cards. Despite challenging weather conditions, the library's activities thrived, showcasing the community's engagement.
The financial report revealed that the library's repair account has been zeroed out for 2019 and 2020, with an additional $6,000 drawn from the brick repair fund, leaving a balance of $14,000. This financial management reflects the trustees' commitment to maintaining the library's infrastructure.
A notable highlight was the recent wine event, which, despite a last-minute change in participation, successfully generated funds for the library. One winery, facing a medical emergency, pledged to donate proceeds from wine sales to the library. The trustees are currently working to transfer funds from Eventbrite into the library's donation account, navigating municipal banking protocols to ensure the funds are secured.
The meeting underscored the library's vibrant role in the community, with trustees expressing gratitude for the successful event and the ongoing support from local businesses. As the library continues to foster community connections, the trustees remain focused on enhancing services and resources for all residents.
