Leicester Library Trustees move endowment funds to shore up FY27 shortfall. The board voted unanimously to transfer $40,000 from the Bartholomew PPS Custom account into higher-yield Money Market and Certificate of Deposit accounts to offset town funding cuts. Director Suzanne Hall reported the shift is necessary to cover operating costs.

Mural artist Sarah Lavoie presented an outdoor mural proposal, with grant writer Anne Edgington tasked to identify funding sources before moving forward.
