Two bids were considered, Dower’s Roofing from Galesburg and R.A. Oldeen Inc. from Kewanee.

Board members decided to accept the bid from R.A. Oldeen for lower cost and a longer guarantee.

Dower’s Roofing submitted a bid of just over 18 thousand dollars, with a 15 year guarantee.

R.A. Oldeen submitted a bid of just under 15 thousand dollars, with a 20 year guarantee.

Also at the meeting, Library Director Harriett Zipfel announced that she contacted the other libraries in queue for state funding.

According to Zipfel, the other libraries agreed to work together to reach out to state representatives about their concern.
Board Member Wendel Hunigan was also honored at the meeting for serving on the Board for 37 years before departing.
