Snuggle Up With A Good Book,the adult winter reading program,will be from January 1 through February 28,2007. There will be a drawing for a prize at the end of the program although the prize is not yet figured out. \.. Any ideas for publicity should be passed on to Claire Nagel. Fundraising is on hold for the winter. Lydia Loven mentioned the possibility of a Christmas Tea in future years. After discussion, it was thought that this might be a joint activity with the Historical Society and not necessarily a fundraiser so tickets would be at a reasonable price. Old Business: The new shelving unit for the Children's Room should be arriving shortly after the first of the year. Most likely,it will be put together after January 15�. The web page is on hold until John Longnecker returns. The Bring Me A Book Program for the Echo will begin some time in January. The library did indeed purchase the hen quilt from Darlene Sexton for the Children's Room where it will continue to hang.
