Teen Territory and a Six-Month Library Allocation

The California Collection stayed at the Library into 2011, pending County action; by May some of its books were going to other libraries. In February the Board approved Teen Territory purchases, replaced worn Belasco books and authorized a shredder. In May it asked for written funding requests and an inventory of Friends-owned Library equipment. In August, answering a $13,000 request, the Board approved $6,500 for July through December and noted $27,000 already spent for the Library. Teen Territory's grand opening was set for September 8, with a magic show by Jeff T.G. The opening program credited the Friends and the County Library Foundation for furnishings, the sign, books, magazines and refreshments. On September 12 a special meeting decided which records to keep, set 2012 sale dates and postponed shirts for lack of funds. Elaine Seeger gave $500 in November.
