Casey Township Library Board of Trustees Meeting | August 7, 2025
The Casey Township Library Board took another step toward replacing its failed air conditioner on Thursday, August 7, 2025, by deciding to seek a third bid for the project. However, the board also learned that the Friends of the Library will not be providing financial assistance for the costly repair. Due to the urgency, the board plans to approve a final bid via a “texting” vote. For more on this developing story, see our full article.
In financial news, the board renewed a $90,000 certificate of deposit at a favorable 4.15% interest rate and reported on other library investments. You can read more about the library’s financial health in our separate story.
