# LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES 10.20.2026

Davenport Public Library Board of Trustees meeting. The title gives October 20, 2026, while the meeting metadata lists October 22, 2026; the transcript says the 20th. Library leadership reported attending the city’s budget kickoff for FY2028 (July 1, 2027–June 30, 2028), submitting a six-year capital improvement plan request for 2028–2034, and preparing a budget request with three business cases for the Finance Committee. Staff were also working to acquire a product called Conserve to monitor temperature and humidity in special collections. No contract awards, vendor selections, bid approvals, or specific spending amounts were reported. The Library Foundation’s Fatal Fiction fundraiser reportedly raised close to $10,000; this was fundraising, not a board spending decision.

The board also heard operational updates, including a weather station installed at the Paramount Branch at no cost, a planned mural by a local artist, and a presentation on the Bestsellers Club. The consent agenda and a report were approved, though the transcript does not clearly preserve the vote details. Trustees voted to enter closed session, but the session ended after quorum was lost; the city was to advise on how to document and conclude the meeting. No procurement-related action was identified.
