Board approves participation in State Library laptop program, director to seek PlayAway funding
On Aug. 3 the board approved participation in a CT DEEP/State Library program that would allow the library to lend laptops to residents who hold library cards; the library would review applications and offer training. The motion to participate was made by Everett Lyons, seconded by John Duffy, and passed by a majority vote (the minutes do not record an exact tally).

Separately, Director Alice Freiler said she will apply to Thomaston Savings Bank for funds to acquire PlayAway Launchpads for the library. Freiler also reported an HVAC grant is in process. The minutes record the board's direction to pursue these funding avenues but do not list final grant or vendor awards.
