Several board members commended Tammy for her friendliness and good rapport with the public. The budget report was reviewed. There was some discussion of the upcoming budget. May statistics did show some downward numbers, especially in the area of video circulation. The library has new limits on the number of videos a family may borrow and this has impacted statistics. The Children's Department had fourteen programs with 165 children and 123 adults in attendence. This included visits from two Head Start groups, from Detroit and Clarksville. In adult outreach, there were 2 programs in which 38 attended. Rebecca left materials including books, audio, and magazines this month.
