Also, she needs the following supplies: some fresh plants for the holiday season; some return address labels, and six sets of adult computer headphones plus the wires to connect them. She needs money to fund the live monthly entertainment programs for adults, and her petty cash needs to be replenished. Her assistant Carolyn Rood needs bigger baskets for the children's board books; three sets of headphones for the children's computers, and money to cover buying the last set of Newbery & Caldecott books for the Belasco Collection. Also, Carolyn requests $100 to buy supplies for the Verna Bruner Scholarship Fund raffle donation. (Gift cards and basket items.) Gabor proposed we approve $3,000 to fund these needs, and Diane seconded it. It passed unanimously. Carol proposed we replenish their petty cash fund in the amount of $200, and this too passed.
UPCOMING BOOK SALES IN 2009: We are in need of more plastic bags for our book sales customers and library patrons, and also new bookmarks to pass out showing the 2009 dates of our book sales. Carol proposed we order these and Diane seconded it. It passed. The 2009 dates for the book sales will be as follows: February 21st, May 16th, August 22nd, and November 14th.
