Director’s Report
January 2026
The Dodge hosted 80 patrons in December, which isn’t a lot, but it was another abbreviated month. People are very
busy in December. We circulated 114 items. Additionally, there were 17 Libby (digital) checkouts.
Thanks again to Judy for hosting the trustees and partners at her home in December. I think I can speak for those
that attended to say we had a lovely time.
The Dodge Library is now tax exempt! Norman set up our account with Lowes and purchased the on-demand heater.
Jim is in the process of getting it set up with our vendors. Thanks Norm and Jim!
Thanks to Bob as well for showing up with a snow shovel when there is not enough snow for our contractor to
come. And thanks to Robin for finding our contractor! It is working out well.
There are two scheduled activities this month. The Show Up Book Club will meet to discuss This is How it Always
Is, by Laurie Frankel. The grant-funded painting program is scheduled for 1/22. Tory is waiting to hear back from
the person running it about advertising and sign-ups. Hopefully, she will have more information on this before the
meeting on the 13th
