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!

And be sure to keep Thinking Libraries!
