Going forward the NYS Retirement funds for staff will be in the January budget rather than December to accommodate the Village’s timing for withdrawing these funds. December 2021 retirement funds will be taken out of Library accounts in January 2022.

The director reviewed statistics for visitation and circulation. In 2021, visitation was the actual count for the year tallied by front desk staff; in 2022 this will return to tallying one month (October) and extrapolating throughout, as in prior years. Director Tacke explained that UHLS directors meet monthly and that a cross-UHLS report will be available mid-2022 at which point real data across system libraries can be compared.

Friends Report
None. Friends group is expected to meet later in January.
