Belmar Library Board Addresses Noise Complaints Amid Community Events

The most recent meeting of the Belmar Library Board of Trustees addressed community concerns, most notably the noise complaints resulting from concerts held at the library. The discussion surrounding the concerts’ noise levels took precedence, with multiple residents raising issues about the potential violation of state law and local ordinances. The board considered implementing the use of a decibel meter to ensure compliance with noise regulations and to possibly reconsider the scheduling of future events if legal limits are exceeded. The president of the board agreed to seek legal counsel on the matter to respond appropriately to the community’s concerns.

The board also discussed the library’s upcoming events and technological enhancements, such as the installation of Deep Freeze software on public computers and plans to improve website accessibility for disabled individuals. Additionally, the board reviewed past events, including various workshops and author talks, and announced the library’s summer reading program, featuring a Bingo theme and an open house.

Another focal point of the meeting was the board’s acceptance of a donated memorial bench, including the design and associated costs. The Strategic Plan was mentioned, with updates to be provided in an upcoming meeting. Furthermore, the board deliberated on offering CPR training for staff and the public.

The board’s treasurer provided a report on the library’s budget and spending. Lastly, a previous discussion about the needs of the homeless in the area was briefly revisited.
