BOARD MEETING
Monday, January 17, 2022
130 S. Roselle Rd., Workshop
7:00 p.m.

In accordance with recent amendments to the Illinois Open Meetings Act, this meeting of the Board of Library Trustees will be partially conducted by audio or video conference means without a quorum of Library Trustees physically present because of a disaster declaration relating to COVID-19 and public health concerns affecting the Library. The Library Director has determined that an in-person meeting of all members of the Board of Trustees and all members of the public is not practical or prudent because of the disaster. As a result, some of the Library Trustees will participate in the Board meeting remotely via electronic means. Members of the public are permitted to attend the meeting in-person; however, due to social distancing restrictions, the Library Board may have to limit the number of members of the public allowed in the meeting room at any one time. As a result, members of the public are encouraged to consider attending remotely, as described below: https://stdl-org.zoom.us/j/84250228518?pwd=eXh3VnJkTnlaY0JjeHl6MUN4alIyZz09

Meeting ID: 842 5022 8518

Passcode: 011722

In lieu of in-person meeting attendance, participants can submit written comments to the Executive Director at @email. Comments may not be read during the public comments section of the meeting, but will be shared in entirety with all board members. If in-person, masks are required at all times regardless of vaccination status.
