Casey Township Library Board of Trustees Meeting | June 26, 2025

The Casey Township Library Board of Trustees confronted a significant infrastructure expense and made a key financial adjustment at its meeting on Thursday, June 26, 2025. The board learned it faces a $12,000 bill for a new air conditioning unit and will be seeking more quotes before proceeding. To maintain financial flexibility, the board voted to move $10,000 from a maturing CD into a money market account for expenses. For more details on these financial decisions, see the full story.

The board also received positive news on its community programming. Librarian Gretchen Murphy reported high attendance for the “Level Up” summer reading program and highlighted the continued success of the Imagination Library book-gifting initiative, which is sponsored locally by Rural King. More information on these programs can be found in our detailed report.
