Presently, the numbers of hours of sick leave are current with the city policy. Director Mitchell will check if the library policy is thoroughly consistent with the city policy.
Overnight Parking
Overnight parking in the library lot has become a problem for our janitor. He is spending more and more time shoveling spaces that can’t be plowed because cars have been left there overnight. Director Mitchell has contacted the parties involved. There haven’t been any more problems because there hasn’t been any significant snowfall. The matter was tabled for the time being.
