Shortly after, the elevator tripped. Necessary parts <br /> were ordered. Air handlers were up and running. HVAC is 15 years old, maybe we <br /> could add something to the capital budget for HVAC. <br /> IT & Website Design <br /> IT has installed one new computer, configured all, and six are on deck for <br /> installation. There was a cyber security issue in Bourne. The IT Director would be <br /> willing to give a cyber safety talk with the public here in Mashpee.

We will let it be known links will not be clicked <br /> on, and we will find safer ways to interact, as unsolicited links are not safe anymore. <br /> Coming Soon: Ethics and Conflict of Interest annual training. <br /> FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY LIASION REPORT <br /> The Friends held a meeting and provided an update on the annual appeal, but they <br /> need to expand their network list. Five hundred letters were printed, and only around <br /> 250 letters that went out. This task will require some effort. There was an extra <br /> $5,000 gift to the library, totaling $25,000 for 2025. <br /> The Friends meetings have been changed to Wednesdays. There will be a meeting <br /> in February, but no meeting in March. Currently, planning is underway for solicitation <br /> letters asking for mini golf supporters. That event will be April 24t". There is talk of <br /> hosting other events, such as a garden tour at Willowbend, as well as outreach to <br /> authors. <br /> An Investment Committee meeting will be held soon, hopefully this month. <br /> 2 <br />
