Library Trustees address security incident, pavilion funding gap
Paul Pratt Memorial Library Trustees · Meeting of April 8, 2026
Cohasset library trustees address security incident and pavilion funding. Director Bronwyn Nelson reported that a hidden camera was discovered in a public restroom; security footage identified a former IT contractor from approximately ten years ago as the suspect, and police confirmed no children were recorded. The Board unanimously approved prior meeting minutes and bills, then discussed a roughly $21,000 shortfall on the roughly $609,000 pavilion project, requesting detailed budget analysis before the next meeting to determine whether to draw from the Cohasset Library Trust endowment.
Nelson also reported that the town's FY27 budget proposal cuts $12,500 in funding for Sunday library hours; the Board deferred a decision to restore or accept the reduction, noting that current Sunday hours remain funded through Memorial Day.
