There will be a public hearing in Commissioner's Court at 9:30 a.m., Monday, June 16th covering the new library issues. Judge Sadler would appreciate input and feedback.
Atria Assisted Living donated 10 tubs of paper back and hard back books to us. We will need a table to put them on in the library in order to sell them. Dan will check into a place a table can be put.
A motion was made to instruct Dan to look for a suitable location in the library and to purchase a table if he finds a place, with the provision that any use other than the selling of the Friend's book must go thru the Friend's board. Motion was seconded and passed.
