On 2-19-18 the staff had their second training. This time they had active shooter training. Chris will be on CI living on 2-20 and is also starting donuts with the director. Adult winter read has 150 people, which is the largest so far.
Kattie did a great job of securing prizes. The mother board on the boiler went out and was replaced for $1500. Chris suggested we need to consider a maintenance program since the boilers are now 10 years old. The contract with A&R for this service would be $1600. It does not cover replacements or parts. Chris is going to do some research on the life expectancy of the boilers to see if this is a good option or not.
The book sale went well. It was the first time without the friends running the sale
Nothing out of the ordinary on finances this month. The loan is now down to $212,000.
