Pittsylvania County Public Library
Executive Committee of the Board of Library Trustees
March 10, 2025
The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Pittsylvania County Public Library met
on Monday, March 10, 2025, in the Chatham meeting room. The meeting was called to order at
3:02pm by Karen Eades, Chair. Members present were Karen Eades, Mike Irby, and Janice Fitts.
The consent agenda including the agenda, minutes of the meeting of February 10, 2025, the
operations and financial reports for February 2025, and the director’s report, were read and
approved on a motion by Janice Fitts, seconded by Mike Irby. Motion passed unanimously.
The new Library Board member, Michael Irby, was welcomed to the board.
Discussion was held about board member attendance.
Rhonda presented an update to the library policies. She recommended removing the $5 deposit
for Test Preparation Books, referencing that most of those materials are now online. The online
resources are readily available, eliminating the concern of the costly materials not being
returned.
Rhonda updated the board on the replacement of the bookmobile, explaining that the County did
not want to sign the contract until the 25/26 budget was passed. This would ensure that the
balance for the bookmobile would be allocated in next FY budget.
Rhonda updated the Board on the renovations at the Brosville Library, noting that the carpet had
been installed, the walls painted, and a new circulation desk had been installed.
Rhonda gave an overview of the submitted budget, identifying key requests. Some requests
included expected increases in yearly costs, such as electricity, copies, and online services.
The status of the potential Dan River library was discussed, including needing to hear back from
the school maintenance department about septic capacity.
Karen Eades adjourned the executive committee meeting at 3:30pm.
The next full board meeting is scheduled for April 14, 2025 at 3:00pm at the Chatham Library.
