Programs
Friends:
A. The Friends of the Library met at the library on Monday, October 1, at 1:00
p.m. with 5 members present. Marsha Tubbs presented information on the Library
Fundraiser that will be held at the Har Mar Barnes & Noble on November 13. Several of
the friends volunteered to distribute literature in the library’s lobby about the fundraiser.
At their November meeting, elections will be held. Estelle Nelson has resigned as
treasurer so a replacement will be needed to fill the position. The friends will also
decorate a box for Project Bookshelf, and Rita Norberg will give a talk on Hmong Pa
nDaku appliqué.

deliveries to 3 “At Home Patrons.”

Parkview Villa and were delivered on Wednesday, October 10.

Collection development
A. I began an order for books-on-tape to expend the money I have left in my 2183
audiocassettes account.
B. On Wednesday, October 24, I received a telephone call from a Qwest representative
informing me my telephone directory order is on its way. She told me she had misplaced
my faxed order and just found it. The directories will be added to the collection as soon
as we receive them.

supplies were also purchased from Office Depot.
Adult reading program:
