Board members are to study the <br />model Patron Services Policy for possible action at the next meeting. <br />There were no unusual expenditures in the December budget. The December statistical report showed <br />significant decreases, but these are due to the fact that the library was closed for a week for carpet installation <br />and painting. <br />Friends of the Library Co -Chair Amanda Green sent a report from the Friends. The newsletter has been mailed, <br />the spring luncheon is scheduled for April 24, plans for a pajama reading time and a camera project for the <br />children are in the works.
