I. PROGRAMS:
A. Friends of the Library: The Friends met on Monday, November 1 at 1:00 p.m. in the
Library Boardroom with ten members present. Sandi Engquist volunteered to be the
Campbell’s Labels for Education coordinator to replace Marie Marquart. The Friends
decided to withhold spending any of their funds until Becky presents her wish list in early
2005. They also decided to each bring to the next meeting one item for Project
Bookshelf or Granny’s Christmas Closet. Nancy Rathbun will deliver all books donated
to Project Bookshelf to SACA. After the meeting the Friends trimmed Campbell’s labels
and decorated a box for Project Bookshelf.
B. At-Home Service: I had two requests for “at home service’, and Sandi Engquist
delivered the items.

Nov. 3. At Royce Place, the program coordinator has resigned and until a new person is
hired the bulk loan to them will be discontinued.
