Statement of Board of Trustees of the Chebeague Island Library.

For many years, the Chebeague Island Library (CIL) was pleased to host the Chebeague.org site on its server. We all recognize how vital and important the site is to the Chebeague community. Last year, the CIL, moved to a web-based system that is more secure, responsive and easier to maintain. Because of the move, we no longer used the library server. Housed in a small room, the heat and noise of the server inhibited use of the space. We are pleased that Beverly Johnson has found a new web-based home for Chebeague.org, and will continue the wonderful work that we have all come to expect. This frees up needed space in the library. However, the move for Chebeague.org was not without cost; we encourage renters who list on Chebeague.org to help cover the costs to Beverly and pay to list on the site. As part of that effort, the Library wants to be the first to help cover those costs and will donate $150 to continue this vital community resource.
