The board also reviewed extensive\u00a0HVAC and mold remediation\u00a0needs, debating capital improvement submissions for building renovations and specialized children\u2019s room upgrades. Operational adjustments were made for\u00a0summer programming\u00a0and hours, coinciding with efforts to modernize the library through electronic donation options and updated codes of ethics.
