The £8k increase in expenditure was mainly due to the final bills forthe Heating Project amounting to
£8.Sk which came in duringJanu8ry,' £4.8k was available in S106 funds and the balance paid out of
Library general funds.
£3.5k was spent on enhancing the look of the library with new furniture, upgrading the computers and a
Complete makeover on the Library's Web Site, all of which were funded by grants.
The reduction in utilities of £1,500 is due to the renegotiation with Totalpower, our electricity supplier. of
the unit price of electricity, reducing from 30.9467p to 20.2636p.
Following th8 completion of the new heating instalL8tion, further electrical and painting work was
required to ensure the library was fitfor purpose amounting to an increase in repairs and maintenance of
£2k.
A trading deficit of £1.395.24 is recorded for the year; however. the library funds remain healthy.
Thefocus fortheyearwas, providinga welcoming, warm spaceforthe Hart)uryCommunity, where
groups can gather. computers and internet connection available, books galore, newspapers, and a hot or
cold drink accompanied by a biscuit or piece of homemade cake.
However, there is still plenty rnoreto do. Biblios is now requiring an upgrade. A more eff icient till is
required to ensure customers are not waiting to place their order. and the iTrcome recorded more
accurately. The kitchen area needs insulating. cupboards and worktops replacing,
