The Library Advisory Board approved the revised Long Range Plan. The most
important update was to consider new building plans within the next five years.
5. Discuss Fiscal Year Report and September Monthly Report.
The Library had increases in circulation and patron registrations during FY 97-
98. However, there was a slight decrease in the number of materials that
were processed. This is a result of the continuing increases in book and av
prices.
