Summary
ofthe main
achievements
ofthe charity
during the year
As one might expect, the report for 2020-2021 is very different this year.
Wewere completely
closed for4 months
and operated on a very limited
basis for the remaining
8months.
No group activities could take place
and even when members ofthe public were allowed
in, numbers
and
browsing
were limited.
We operated a successful
click and collect
service whereby customers
could order specific books or book bundles
online or by phone; these were then prepared
for collection ata later
date. They proved popular.
NYCC saw numbers ofonline users
increase significantly
during this period.
From January 2021,a limited
Home Library service was reintroduced.
We used the opportunity
ofhaving the library closed to upgrade the sinks
in the public and staff toilets to provide more hygienic taps. We aiso
replaced the operating
mechanisms
for the sliding doors at the entrance
as these had become obsolete and unreliable.
Further improvements
were made to security and other lighting
in the outside areas ofthe
library.
ln order to maintain
some income, we explored the potential
of
online sales ofsecond hand books and this has become a permanent
and lucrative income stream.
The financial
position ofthe library has remained
encouraging
despite the
inevitable loss ofincome during the months ofclosure.
NYCC made a
contribution
to our repair costs, which we are very grateful for given that
our lease requires us to pay for ali repairs.
Secondly, we received a
marvellous
F5,000from Proudfoot's
Making A Difference Locally scheme.
Their Trustees have awarded
us the money from their Heart ofthe
Community
Fund.
Along with other funds received from the Co-op and
the Business Support Grant,
it means the library is financially
in
surprisingly
good shape as the new financial year opens.
