The Coffee County, Tennessee, Lannom Library Committee met on October 14, 2026.

It also approved budgeted holiday pay of $150 net for each of 18 employees. The financial report was approved; members discussed reviewing bank records and working toward greater consistency in how the library’s budgets categorize expenses, with further discussion planned for a future meeting. No other procurement award was identified.
