Mary has been doing an analysis of which section of books are checked out the most. This information will be useful for ordering and weeding books in the future.  Shelf markers for content are now in the children’s non-fiction section.
Nancy reported that the library was closed Friday, November 27, due to the weather.  The 3D printer will be in the library December 19 for three weeks.  Some of the TAB members will learn to use it, then help out during Christmas break. Holiday closings are December 24, 25, 31 and January 1. She would like to honor the people whose memorials have been donated to our library. 
There was no unfinished business.  Discussion under new business included making up a memorial book and showing the past year’s honorees on the digital display.  Nancy will do some more research on the ideas.  Anne moved to pay the bills and Patrisha seconded the motion.  Motion carried.  Terry asked if the new overdue book policy was working.  Nancy reported that she is satisfied with it.
