Behind My
Desk…
I had my first
board meeting last night. (Another one
of those firsts I mentioned last time.)
It’s hard to believe we’re already planning the budget for Fiscal Year
2014. There was some good discussion and
I think we have a very workable budget. Just as a reminder, these meetings are
open to the public and you can also access the minutes on the library’s website
on the Library Board of Trustees’ Page under the About Us section.
The bookshelves
are up in what was the tween room downstairs and we have Steve Livengood to
thank! Steve was putting together the
Veteran’s display when he noticed all the boxes sitting in the lobby. When hearing they were bookshelves just
waiting to be put together, he immediately offered his services. He did a wonderful job, so be sure to check
them out. They were much needed. The teen books were overflowing the shelves
we had but now there is room to breathe! Thanks again, Steve.
Thanks also to the
Friends group for the wonderful reception they gave Carole and I last
Thursday. There was a great turnout and
I had the opportunity to meet lots of people from the Atlantic community. It’s obvious how much this library means to
Atlantic. And the food. If you went away hungry, you have only
yourself to blame!
Speaking of food, I
hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! Go ahead and eat too much. It’s a tradition!
