Request made by Elaine that we try to get more lighting at the Book Barn. Susan is going to mention this to appropriate person at the Root River State Bank. Denise suggested we have a Dumpster to dispose of culled books, but Elaine is willing to continue to take them down to Preston Recycling which disposes of them for free.
Debra asked what contribution the Friends could make to the Easter/Christmas/Hallowe’en community children’s goody bags. Bookmarks suggested or possibly even clean, age-appropriate books from the Book Barn for toddlers through 5th or 6th graders. Lyman and LouAnne Hare will be able to tell us how many are needed.
The group discussed what they had been reading the past two months.
Respectfully submitted,
