Committee Reports: Nancy Adams reported that volunteers are doing a wonderful job. Numerous people are on vacation, but we seem to have others to step in. Attendance continues to be very good considering it is winter. Generally, several days each week there are 50 people per day in the library; other days have a lesser attendance. The Winter Reading program is taking place, although we won't know how many participants there are until March when their sheets are turned in. Claire Nagel continues to work on publicity. We want to thank her for all of her efforts. Claire will make posters for Lydia to hang at the high school. Fundraising: The Health Department form with its required $75.00 fee has been sent in. Lydia reported that Greg Bernard, author of Alpha Summer(a juvenile or YA fiction book), will be the speaker for the Author's Tea in August. Plans are set for the tea. Old Business: The 501c3 continues to be on hold. At this point,there is no known or distinctive advantage for going forth. Claire Nagel will be the Hunt Technology representative for Bring Me A Book. We continue to look for someone to do TDS. The web site designer is still on holiday, but we have started a file to which we add our ideas. The KLKS promotion idea is on hold until we receive some good quality duplicates. New Business: THERE WILL BE NO MEETING IN FEBRUARY.
