BUSINESS
Use of library continues to be strong, but book circulation continues
to decline.
Hurst is looking at not charging HEB residents for use of their
library.
Betty gave a discussion on book repairs.
We have 30 volunteers who are in the re-labeling process. The response
has been great. Progress has been rapid. There has been a slight
problem with the computer. Betty will write thank you letters to all of
the volunteers.
Complaint has been filed on "The Night it Rained Pancakes". Alledging
that it is deceptive. All board members are to read and evaluate for
the next meeting.
