## RUSKINGTON PARISH COMMUNITY LIBRARY ANNUAL REPORT 2022/ 2023 

## General. 

1. The Trustees considered the reporting year a further period that required positive and considered management owing to the continued effect of the Covid pandemic. The library management committee of dedicated volunteers produced a sound and viable plan that recognised a reduction in the number of volunteers. Indeed, the procedures recognised a continued requirement to follow Lincoln County Council (LCC) mandatory restricted operating policy. However, the library provided a viable library service at a very acceptable level. 

## 2. The Building. 

All mandatory internal and external building checks were carried out within the 

Constraints of library access. 

## 3.   Volunteers 

The reduction of the number of library volunteers owing to the continued consideration by a number of volunteers of the Covid virus required the management committee to revise the library operating schedule to enable a viable library to continue to be available to the community. The revised procedures were ably assisted by support from the Greenwich Leisure Limited Library Development Officer. 

## 4 Finance. 

LCC provided an annual grant of £5,167 that enabled the library function to continue. The grant provides finance for insurance for the building, personnel, utilities and general administration throughout the year. The trustees thanked Mrs Christine Casey for her continued management of the library finance account. 

## 5.   Insurance. 

As required by the terms of the library lease all appropriate areas were insured. 

## 6.  Council Tax. 

The Trustees noted and appreciated the continued Rate Relief afforded to a charity 

By North Kesteven District Council. 



## 7.  Summary. 

In summary the Trustees noted the provision of a welcomed and viable library 

service for the community continued through a testing period.
