9.9.2026 Board of Library Trustees

The Fall River Board of Library Trustees held a meeting on September 9, 2026, primarily focused on reviewing and approving minutes from previous meetings and discussing library operations and services. Key procurement-related topics included the continuation of the Kanopy digital movie resource, which costs about $3,000 annually, and considerations around adjusting fees for VHS conversion services to potentially increase usage. The library director also highlighted an upcoming issue with the planned discontinuation of the Verizon fax line, which may require transitioning to a more costly remote cellular fax service. Additionally, the board discussed the use of distinct letterheads for the library foundation and friends groups to clarify donor communications, though no formal vote was taken on this matter. The meeting concluded with motions to approve reimbursements and adjournment.
