She wrote a newspaper
article concerning opening the meeting room for public non-profit use. Adult fiction books have been “weeded” to
increase the young adult books section.
CKLS weeded the children’s department with volunteer help. Mr. Koch, grade school principal, talked to
Mary about the Schools plans for their summer LEAP program. Kan-Ed reimbursed $773.33 for internet
expense. Lincoln Grade School
students came for a tour May 15. She

drink.

Garage Sale, June 1. Anne volunteered to
put up signs and supervise the sale.

constructed a wooden shield around the pipe under the children’s table. It still needs to be stained and
varnished.

computer and new color printer/copier/scanner/fax machine are installed and in
use.
A new microfilm
reader costs about $10,000. The Friends
are interested in writing a grant for this project. The Friends of the Library are working on
plans for the 100th anniversary of the library next spring. Patrisha and Kathy volunteered to work with
