Edison Library Board Meeting - 10/20/2026

The October 20, 2026, Edison Public Library Board meeting included approval of the bill list, totaling approximately $145,561.48. Reported expenses included a third alarm at the North Edison branch, replacement of cracked plumbing at the main library, installation of audiovisual equipment by Farber Specialty Vehicles, and prepaid newspaper deliveries. The director also reported that the library’s new telephone system was implemented alongside the township’s system after the library was not included in the township’s original bid; no new telephone-system award was voted on at this meeting.

The board unanimously approved a $13,900 professional contract with Sly Clooney and Company LLC, as transcribed, for the 2025 audit. Administration said it expects to issue a new RFP for audit services in the new year, consistent with its usual three- to four-year contract cycle. The library also plans to prepare a request for quotes for vending machines after reviewing its needs; a temporary vendor has been serving the library. Other reported work included an ongoing branch renovation and rain-garden project, but no related procurement vote was identified.
