Shawneene stated her plans to take her vacation July 5-12. We discussed some ideas to cover the library.
A disc cleaner will be available in the Library for Public Use in February and August.
Shawneene wants to apply for a Rotary grant for $1300 to buy a new lighter table, stackable chairs, two comfy chairs, and a reading mat for children. We gave her the ok to proceed.
There are plans for Science projects coming up in February. Shawneene has a system to encourage reading. After students have spent 1 hour on the computers, they need to read a chapter in a chapter book in order to get more time on the computer.
Adjournment. The next meeting is February 27 at 6:00 in the library
