• Basement repairs: Helen and Chuck met with Trippy and are willing to close gaps that were left with previous repairs. There’s a “crawl space” for the rest of the library that was covered by small pieces, but cold air is still coming through. They will NOT remove wrap that was already installed. Upon inspection of the vents, 4 need to be replaced. They will also add more material to the crawl space and add caulking to it. There is another hole that needs to be filled in. Jenifer will look into a grant in the future to help with repairs. Jennifer will speak to Kemmerer to look and give us a quote when he is here to complete work in September.
