Librarian’s report:

– Regular & after school programs will resume after school starts on the 19th.
– Much thanks to Holly Cruiser for coming to help out with the weeding & landscaping – we could still use more help, particularly with the weeds if anyone has time or energy.
– Kudos on the booksale – I haven’t heard word of the final tally, but I heard it was busy!
– Much thanks for all your help and support with the anniversary celebration – I hear it was a big success, many community members have commented that they enjoyed the evening.
