Dear Mayor Nephew, We hope this message finds you well. As you may know, our library plays a vital role in the community by providing access to a wide range of resources. We are fortunate to offer services to Gowanda and the surrounding communities five days a week, totaling 36 hours weekly. Our offerings include materials for borrowing without late-return penalties, such as books, movies, launchpads, educational backpacks, puzzles, and more. We also offer free educational and entertainment programs, free computers with internet access, complimentary Wi- Fi (accessible 24/7 outside the library), and assistance with reference questions and basic digital needs. We have seen a great increase in library visits and materials check- outs in recent years due to our efforts to maintain a safe and welcoming space for our community members to gather, interact, and build connections. We have proudly served the community for 125 years, and we aim to continue serving for many more years! Today, we are writing to formally request that the Village of Gowanda consider increasing its annual financial contribution to the library for the upcoming fiscal year from $5,750.00 to $7,250.00. An increase in the village's contribution would greatly help us cover the library's operational costs for the 2026 fiscal year. We truly appreciate the ongoing support from the village and the collaborative efforts we have made to serve our residents effectively. Thank you for considering this request. We look forward to your favorable response. Sincerely, Geidi Khawam Library Director & The Board of Trustees

NEW INFORMATION e Reminder the Erie County Task Force will be touring and inspecting the properties provided by the Code Enforcement Office. This tour/inspection is still scheduled for February 11, 2026 @11 am. ; e Working on state required year-end report e Attended and completed the yearly Code conference for our recertification on January 27th thru January 29" (snow conditions moved the conference back one day). OLD INFORMATION e Complaint forms need to be completed and submitted when bringing concerns to our attention. They are imperative if the issue rises to the level of legal and/or court action. ; PSA Ice Damming: What Homeowners Should Know Ice damming occurs when snow ona roof melt from heat escaping the home, then refreezes at the colder eaves. Over time, this ice buildup traps water, forcing it under shingles and into the -home, where it can damage roofs, insulation, walls, and ceilings. How to Prevent Ice Dams ¢ Improve attic insulation and air sealing to keep heat inside the living space and off the roof. mo e Ensure proper attic ventilation so roof temperatures remain consistent. e Keep gutters and downspouts clear so melting snow can drain freely. e Safely remove excess snow from the roof after heavy storms using a roof rake (from the ground). If Ice Dams Have Formed « Do not chip ice with tools or use open flames—this can damage the roof and create safety hazards. « Consider professional ice dam removal using steam or low-pressure methods. » Address interior leaks promptly to prevent mold and structural damage. Taking preventive steps early in the season is the most effective way to avoid ice damming and protect your home from costly winter damage. If problems persist year after year, homeowners are encouraged to consult a qualified contractor for a long-term solution.
