-The budget passed, but the library will not get $5,000from the county as was earlier
planned. County Commissioner Jim Woolverton couldn't help with the $5,000. Gail
was grateful for Pia Jarman's support of the program for city employees.
-Regina will remain a part-time employee until October. She will become full-time when
the new budget goes into effect.
-Gail plans to eventually landscape the back area of the library as well as set up
benches and a mesh shade cloth over the back door. This will allow the children's area
to be expanded for outdoor programs.
