Betty Evans reported on the Nominating Committee and thanked Curtney Harris and Jack Belasco for accepting leadership again. C. Malone accepted as membership Chraiman. This was unanimously accepted. NEW BUSINESS The question was asked if we could influence people to give us their book donations in a more timely fashion? Also, can we do some publicity such as the Penny Saver or Easy Reader?

The June sale should be June 14 and the September sale will be September 13th, with the Christmas Sale being December 13th. The question of storage arose again for our books. A utility shed would be an insurance problem. It was suggested that we look into storage at the fire department. Christmas bulbs would be sold at the next book sale. Should we charge more money for our books? and should we have more signs put up for sale? John Hale suggested that we keep the price etc. the same, since folks like to get bargains. Charlotte Malone suggested that we solicit collections for books via newsletter and that we should encourage such activity through our own printed media. Libation date is tentatively set for August 16th, 1986 at Betty Ryan's home.
