be considered in allocating these funds.
Steve Fortenberry asked for clarification of the Christmas Page as a fund
raiser. The special page in the newspaper acknowledging those who make
a contribution to the library was explained. It was requested as an agenda
item for October so adequate plans could be made for this activity.
