Their meeting is February 9.

Nancy reported that the City of Lincoln sent a check of $4000, short $3000 that we were expecting.  There is enough money to get us through the end of January, but we may have to dip into the contingency fund in order to do payroll in February.  The 3D printer has been a success thanks to the four high school boys working with it and the patrons who were interested in seeing it work.  CKLS Executive committee will meet February 17 at our library.  Anne volunteered to furnish drinks and Lynne volunteered to furnish cookies. The Library Director evaluation is due in February. Nancy is still working on the Annual Report to be presented to the City Council.  She presented information on a Memorial Album which would be used to name persons who have been designated with memorials and their donors.
