Security system scheduled after landline removal; gazebo repairs planned

The board discussed an operational issue that arose when the library removed its landline: the town's existing security/alarm call-out setup was disrupted, necessitating a compliance fix and a new alarm installation. The new system installation is scheduled for Thursday with an estimated setup fee of about $700 or more; the town will issue a check of approximately $250–$260 toward security monitoring costs, with the library covering remaining setup costs from telephone-budget savings.

Separately, town-contracted contractor Brian Pratt will repair the gazebo by the end of the week; the board discussed addressing the far side of the property in the fall when vegetation is easier to manage. The board asked staff to consider updating policy around internet/power outage procedures — for example, whether a landline backup or cell signal booster is needed — and assigned that for future discussion.
