Chiller issues at the Warsaw Community Public Library have developed, Director Ann Zydek said during the Library Board of Trustees meeting Monday.
A meeting was held at the end of June to get a sense of on the library’s chiller. Based on information provided by someone who was working on the chiller in 2011, if the library could get 20 years out of the chiller, it was a good thing, Zydek said. The library has had the chiller for 23 years. The chiller has gone out three times this year.
Zydek said due to the age of the chiller, they are just trying to keep the chiller running until the library can afford to replace the chiller with a new one.
Due to prices going up, Zydek said the library can expect a possible additional $100,000 for a new chiller.
The Board approved a transfer resolution to transfer $100,000 from the operation fund to the rainy day fund in order to help pay for a new chiller.
In other business, two new drinking fountains were ordered from NEW Plumbing and Heating on June 6 and will be at the library in approximately 12 weeks.
Zydek also talked about the summer reading program. She said at the end of June, there were over 800 children signed up for the library’s summer reading program, with almost 400 adults and 250 teens.
