OLD BUSINESS

1.   Shelving Re-arranging:  Sara advised that the children’s section is done and the teen section has been moved to where the children’s section was and now includes a reading area.  The adult fiction will now be reshifted.  A new desk is needed for the middle area and it was decided to use the money we had planned to use to purchase new shelving that was not needed. 

2.  Cookie Walk:  Betty advised that we can apply for Thrivent funding and she will put in a request for expenses of $250.  Sara advised everyone to think of items to put in the mystery boxes that will be raffled.
