Welcome – S. Schultz provided a review of the voting process

Delivery  - C.  Baumann discussed the 2025 delivery fees & vote shares.  Voting indicated 100% approval of 2025 delivery fees and vote shares.
A question was raised about how the fees would be affected if a library decided to withdraw from the system.  The Wyocena Public Library is determining whether or not to keep the library open.  S. Schultz and T. Miller will be attending the Wyocena village board meeting to discuss options.  Because of this scenario, it has opened the door to further discussion about the fees and votes timeline as well as the member library agreements.
