Chappaqua Library Board of Trustees Meeting 5/18/26

The Chappaqua Library Board of Trustees held a meeting on May 18, 2026, where they approved the April 2026 treasurer's report including bills totaling around $3,200 in outstanding checks. The board discussed ongoing capital projects, including a building project with community focus groups and a recent energy audit conducted by the Central School District. They approved the hiring of Camille March as a part-time Librarian One at $32.21 per hour to address staffing shortages due to recent retirements and increased programming demands. The board also noted the receipt of two grants, including a $3,000 Arts Westchester grant for a jazz music series. Additionally, they reviewed policies related to book challenges and discussed outreach efforts at community events. No new contracts or major procurement decisions were reported, but the staffing approval and capital project updates indicate ongoing resource allocation and planning.
