3.    Librarian’s report was read and accepted.
4.    Concrete will be poured for the book return either this week or next by Steve Lucier.
5.    Brooks McCandlish was presented with a best drummer award for doing such a great job at the July 4th parade and leading us to another blue ribbon. The book sale was also a big success with a profit of $1,251.00.
6.    Erica will get in touch with Jay Tucker re: using the BNSYS grill for the Library dinner on Aug. 23rd.
7.    A Christmas tree will be planted in memory of Robert Stauffer. Bea suggested that if we are still short on the cost for a new tree then the funds should be taken from the Special Projects Fund. Motion made and passed.
8.    The question was brought up as to whether the library needs AC. It was decided it would be very costly and not necessary.
9.    Andrew Pinard (Selectman) notified us of an upcoming meeting re: the closing down of the side street on the 4th of July. The library feels this puts any handicapped patrons at a disadvantage.

11.    Next meeting is August 4, 2008 at 7:00pm.
