## RUSKINGTON PARISH COMMUNITY LIBRARY 

## ANNUAL REPORT 2021/2022 

## General 

1. The trustees considered the reporting year a further difficult period to enable credited library services. The library is manged and operated through a number of dedicated volunteers and supervised at arms-length through Lincolnshire County Council (LCC). The Covid pandemic continued to affect the library through mandatory procedures, reduction in library access times and a decrease in the number of available volunteers. However, the provision of library services was maintained to an acceptable level. 

## 2. Building 

All mandatory internal and external building checks were completed. 

## 3. Volunteers 

The Trustees noted the reduction in the number of available volunteers that continued to provide an essential library service during the reporting period. The operation of the services was ably assisted through the continued excellent service support by the Greenwich Leisure Limited (GLL) Library Development Officer. 

## 4. Finance 

LCC provided an annual grant of £5,167 that enabled the function of the library to continue through the provision of utilities, building insurance and maintenance and personal insurance. These necessities continued throughout the year. It was also noted that the income of £305 from the solar panel Feed in Tariff was most welcome. The trustees thanked Mrs Christine Casey for her continued management of the library financial account. 

## 5. Insurance 

The mandatory insurance for both the internal building structure, contents and volunteers was provided. 

## 6. Council Tax 

The Trustees noted and appreciated the continued Rate Relief afforded to a charity and authorised by North Kesteven District Council. 

## 7. The Lease 

The Trustees noted that library management continued to implement the terms of the Lease from LCC as amended. 



8. Summary 

In summary, the Trustees noted that the provision of library services was provided to the community during a difficult period that continued with the effect of the Covid pandemic.
