The volunteers who are away for the winter are back and are scheduled in to work during the summer, giving our regular volunteers a break every other week. Fliers for the children's summer reading program were distributed to the children at Eagle View School at the end of the school year and an ice cream social kick-off for the program was held in the Lakes State Bank parking lot on June 10. So far fifty-five children have registered. The book sale is being publicized by means of posters being distributed around town. A news release was written and sent in to The Lake Country Echo. Publicity for The Garden Party Tea to be held at the Pequot Lakes Baptist Church on August 12 will be starting shortly. Posters have been created and tickets will be handed out to board members to sell and some will be available at the library front desk. Claire was asked to print 24 posters for Lydia to distribute. Preparation for the 4 of July pie-and-ice cream booth is underway. Ann Hutchings is the coordinator. She announced all is ready except to pick up the pies and Kemp's ice cream on the 0. Sam Hennes offered to have his dentist's office pay for the ice cream, which will be stored in the freezer at Pfeiffer Pharmacy. Thank you Sam and Mary. Ann Hutchings,John Longnecker and Cathy Malecha will set up the booth. Old business: We have received six used computers from the Minneapolis Library. Four have been installed for public use by Cascade Computers. Discussion held about what to do with the other two computers. The new printer for checking out books will soon be in operation. This will be a boon to both our volunteers and our patrons, making the process easier and saving time. No new business. Motion by John Longnecker, seconded by Claire Nagel, to adjourn.
