A
B
A
Let's
say
burn
to
my
watch
and
thank
you.
I
think
we
have
full
presence,
which
is
terrific,
no
members
of
the
public
that
I'm
aware
of
are
or
join
us
and
communications,
both
it's
in
the
agenda.
We
will
speak
to
this
later
in
the
meeting,
but
jennifer
and
I
received
an
email
from
sue
arbac
that
she
is
resigning
as
president
of
the
circle
of
friends
that
came
in
that's
our
last
that's
very
unfortunate.
B
Just
just
a
couple
of
very
small
ones,
I
was
at
the
book
sale
on
saturday
saturday
and
people
were
so
amazing.
You
know
they'd
buy
a
couple
of
books
and
give
the
20
bill
and
the
people
who
did
that
every
one
of
them
said
I
just
love
this
library.
I
mean
it
was
just
so
heartwarming
because
they
were
so
enthusiastic.
B
A
A
D
You
know
a
couple
of
things
that
we
may
that
I
would
like
to
bring
to
the
board
about
adjusting
some
of
our
statistics
as
spoken
about
at
the
last
meeting,
so
there
are
just
a
couple
little
items
I
wanted
to
note.
If
you
go
down
to
google,
my
business
total
searches,
for
I
have
no
idea
where
I
pulled
that
number
from,
but
the
actual
number
that
should
be
adjusted
for
total
searches
is
not
7344.,
it's
13709
quite
a
difference.
So
I.
E
D
We
were
able
to
at
the
end
of
this
fiscal
year
to
put
more
money
into
the
e-book
since
it's
you
know
increasing
with
checkouts
but,
more
importantly,
moving
forward
in
our
budget.
We
have
allocated
more
money
for
that
going
forward,
but
we
did
have
a
little
bit
of
reserve
money,
so
we
added
to
ebooks
because
of
the
popularity
and
the
demand.
D
For
a
month,
so
I
just
wanted
to
note
that
because
I
think
we're
going
to
start
seeing
more
people
now,
you
know
more
coming
in
than
prior
from
april
19th
to
may
19th.
So
that
might
be.
You
know
that
number's
a
little
lower
than
what
we'd
had
hoped
at
this
point.
So
I
just
wanted
to
note
those
couple,
discrepancies
and
items,
so
I
don't
know
if
anybody
yes.
C
E
If
it
would
be
helpful
to
do
a
month
by
month,
statistic
so
like
we
see
how
many
people
came
in
april
may
june,
compare
the
growth
not
maybe
not
for
every
category,
but
maybe
for
the
circulation
statistics
so
to
inform
us.
I
mean
comparing
it
to
last
year,
of
course,
isn't
very
helpful,
but
maybe
comparing
may
to
june
and
june
to
july
and
running
some
kind
of
statistic
like
that
might
be
informative.
I
don't
know
if
that's
well,
I'm.
D
D
I
think
it
would
be
more
appropriate
not
only
because
of
the
craziness
of
covid,
but
again
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
would
inform
you
better
is
yes,
we
could.
Maybe
we
could
do
this
at
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year,
seeing
or
near
budget
time
we
could
see
a
progression
of
a
five
year
how
things
statistically
worked
out,
but
I
think
for
benefit
for
you
and
and
for
me
it
would
be
nice
to
see
okay
this
month
last
month,
we've
trajectory
you
know
upwards
or
downwards.
D
E
It
could
be
beneficial,
I
don't
mean
to
discard
it.
I
just
meant
like,
especially
if
we're
going
to
try
to
do
campaigns
to
encourage
attendance
or
sure,
then
it
would
be
helpful
to
know
you
know.
Did
that
make
a
big
difference.
You
know
between
may
and
june
and
july
as
we
as
we
do
more
outreach
exactly.
D
E
No,
no,
no
just
to
have
another
cal.
You
know
some
other
subset
of
data
to
show
us
that
okay
may,
as
jennifer
was
saying,
wasn't
a
month.
People
didn't
realize
you
were
fully
open,
but
now
in
june,
okay
is
june,
going
to
show
a
significant
increase
and
then,
if
we
do
a
campaign,
a
media
campaign
will
july
show
an
even
better
increase.
C
B
B
I
was
having
the
same
thought
exactly
that
when
I
looked
at
the
statistics
earlier,
one
other
thing
I
wondered
about
was:
if
you've
been
able
to
notice.
I
don't
think
you
can
capture
this
numerically,
but
whether
the
number
of
children
coming
in
is
commensurate
with
the
number
of
overall
people
or
small.
I'm
hearing
such
worrisome,
things
about
the
delta
variant
and
kids
under
12
who
can't
be
vaccinated
that
I'm
wondering
if
parents
may
be
keeping
their
kids
home
more.
D
D
That's
one
thing
so
school
age,
kids,
we're
not
really
I
mean
we're
starting
to
see.
They're
start
slowly
coming
back,
people
are
being
very
good
about
keeping
their
children
up
that
are
under
over
the
age
of
two.
They
are
still
keeping
them
masked,
which
is
great.
We
just
had
a
discussion
today
about
bringing
when
is
it
appropriate
to
bring
back
things
like
toys
and
play
items
for
the
children?
D
The
schools
are
still
making
masks
a
mandate
until
the
end
of
the
year,
which
is
tomorrow
so
they're,
even
questioning
at
the
school
level,
whether
or
not
masks
are
going
to
be
appropriate,
come
fall,
so
we're
just
being
a
little
more
cautious
in
that
vein,
but
we
are
seeing.
I
won't
say
that
we're
seeing
no
families
and
it's
really
exciting
when
we
do
get
families
coming
in,
because
they've
told
us
you
know,
we've
missed,
checking
out
things.
We've
missed
the
programs,
we
did
just
a
you
know,
segway
into
very
quickly.
D
We
had
our
first
pop-up
story
time
outside
live,
so
it
wasn't
virtual
and
we
only
we
did
when
we
say
pop-up,
we
put
it
on
facebook,
we
told
some
families.
It
was
strictly
word
of
mouth
because
we
just
wanted
to
just
do
a
quick
see
how
things
went.
We
had
40
people,
and
that
was
not
marketing
a
lot
and
we
did
it
in
the
back
courtyard
everybody
was
distanced
and
had
their.
D
A
This
is
going
to
wrap
a
question
up
about
statistics.
Why
don't?
We
keep
the
five
year,
okay,
at
least
for
until
the
end
of
this
year?
Let's
just
because
we
do
learn
from
looking
back,
but
also,
if
you,
if
it's
possible
to
maybe
not
for
all
the
items
but
for
ones
that
are
more
telling
about
patron
use.
Do
them
a
a
month-to-month
comparison.
D
Sure,
actually,
you
know
it's,
it's
actually
not
a
problem
at
all,
because
we
keep
the
excel
spreadsheet
so
every
month
we
have
different
members
of
staff
that
have
to
put
in
different
statistics,
and
you
know
I
gave
you
last
last
month.
So
all
I
have
to
do
is
just
if
the
data
is
there,
we
have
already
have
it
saved,
so
it's
just
a
matter
of
adding
a
column.
That's
it
yourself.
F
For
the
the
month
to
month
how
about,
if
we
also
included
looking
back
just
one
year,
it's
because
there
are
some
months
where
the
time
of
the
year
you
know,
makes
a
difference.
So
do
like.
I
don't
know
the
past
five
months
plus
one
year
ago,
as
a
kind
of
you
know,
time
frame
comparison
just
to
see
if
you
know
about
this
in
the
same
time
frame
the
year
before
what
the
numbers
were.
E
D
G
C
H
D
Absolutely
just
want
to
touch
on
some
things
I
mean.
Obviously
you
can
beat
some
of
the
items
in
the
report,
but
I
just
wanted
to
touch
on.
We
did
children's
librarian
position
interviews
this
this
morning
we
had
four
candidates
and
I
think
we've
made
our
decision
today,
so
we're
hoping
to
get
that
person
in
pretty
pretty
soon.
The
beauty
part
is.
We
already
have
our
summer
reading
plans
all
laid
out.
D
D
D
Jess
trejo
she's
fantastic
and
going
to
be
a
great
asset
to
them
a
couple
other
things
we're
also.
This
has
been
a
very
busy
month.
I
think
I
alluded
to
last
last
month
that
you
know,
because
we
have
union
staff
and
covid
add
that
to
the
mix
we're
frantically
trying
to
get
people
to
take
their
vacations.
You
know
schools
coming
out,
so
we
have
you
know
trying
to
so
we're.
Oh,
I
don't
want
to
say
we're
completely
low
staff,
but
then
we're
bringing
back
services.
D
So
we've
had
a
lot
of
passports,
happen
or
down
a
couple.
People
just
from
you
know
these
positions,
the
other
busy
thing
that's
been
happening.
I
told
you
last
time
we're
applying
for
funding
through
the
american
rescue
plan
act.
But
additionally,
the
fcc
has
just
debuted
a
1.7
dollar:
seven
million
a
billion
dollar
package
for
broad
emergency
broadband
access,
so
more
funding
directed
towards
laptops
tablets,
wi-fi
hotspots,
etc.
D
D
D
We
have
teen
programs
and
a
lot
of
music
programs
in
fact,
june
21st,
which
is
next
monday,
we're
having
make
music
day
we're
having
a
performer
at
the
senior
center
upper
parking
lot.
So
if
you're
interested
it
begins
at
5,
00
pm
and
they're
going
to
be
playing
for
two
hours,
the
band's
called
nosmo
kings
and
they
play
everything
from
rock
and
roll
to
celtic
music.
D
Just
about
anything
so
really
excited
to
have
these
outdoor
programs
to
encourage
people
that
not
only
are
we
inside
we're
outside,
and
you
know
we're
getting
back
to
some
normal,
hopefully
soon
and
also
really
cool
thing
is
workforce.
Development
jessa
has
been
contacted
by
the
day.
They
are
going
to
hold
another
job
fair
and
it's
going
to
be
at
the
marriott
we
go
every
year
last
year
it
was
cancelled,
but
this
year
we
are
going
to
be
reattending.
D
So
I'm
really
excited
about
that
program,
trying
to
think
what
else
and
then
I
one
other
thing
I
just
wanted
to
say
our
library
book
bike
has
been.
That
is
the
program
where
we
got
a
grant
from
aarp,
and
that
was
via
the
friends
group
and
we
just
had
to
speak
kim
valentine
and
I
had
to
speak
to
aarp.
D
I'm
really
excited
about
showcasing
that,
and
but
I
will
be
sending
the
video
out
we're
going
to
have
that
once
we
have
the
bike
in
place
here,
we're
going
to
be
putting
it
up
on
gmtv
the
interview,
and
you
know,
marketing
that
wonderful
new
addition
to
our
library.
So
and
last
but
not
least,
we
talked
to
I
met
with
wendy
from
bill
chris
from
mystic
and
chris
from
waterford
public
libraries.
A
I
have
two
and
they're
just
it's
kind
of
related
to
the
library
right
now.
You've
mentioned
that
you're,
a
little
short
on
staff
and
but
in
the
budget,
which
was
not
used
in
the
past
year,
was
or
longer
was
the
part-time
sunday
staff.
Could
you
are
those
people
still
employable
by
the
library
and
with
funds?
Is
that
a
resource
to
to
bring
people
back
in?
Because
we,
you
know
as
we
return
to
normal?
We
certainly
want
to
continue.
D
This
is
just
this
particular
thing
that
I'm
talking
speaking
about
only
goes
to
about
june
30th,
so
I'm
saying
the
the
people
that
have
left
we've
hired
secondary
pieces.
We
have
a
lot
of
people
taking
vacations
and
doing
some
things
prior
to
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year,
because
with
union
rules
you
get
allotted
so
much
time
that
you
can
take
during
the
year
and
because
covet
has
skewed
everything.
D
No
one
could
go
anywhere
so
we're
trying
to
just
buffer
that,
along
with
opening
up,
we
do
have
substitute
librarians
that
we
definitely
still
employ.
The
only
difference
is
some
of
those
people
are
working
right
now,
like
one
works
at
eastern
and
one
works
for
the
adult
education,
so
they're
not
done
yet.
So
it's
just
a
matter
of
like
two
weeks
or
so
of
this
kind
of
little
chaotic
nonsense,
but
we're
going
to
be
back
to
normal
for
at
least
staffing
starting
july
1..
D
So
it's
just
this
this
june
period
10
is
a
little
chaotic
at
the
moment,
but
yeah
no
going
forward.
In
fact,
I
was
laughing
with
the
circulation
supervisor
today
because
they
said.
Oh,
you
know
once
these
library
aids
start,
you
know,
are
you
going
to
put
them
at
18
hours
immediately
and
she's
like
no?
We
don't
need
that
just
yet,
but
we
have
the
capacity
to
give
them
18
hours
should.
Should
we
eat
it,
so
I
think
we're
in
a
good
spot
right
now.
D
A
B
D
G
D
D
We
just
found
out
yesterday
that
the
school
is
going
to
utilize
us
as
a
drop-off
point
for
food,
because
the
food
program
for
breakfast
and
lunch
is
extended
for
free
until
september,
depending
on
what
the
state
says
it
might
go
longer,
but
so
what
that
means
for
us
is
they
can
eat.
We
haven't
been
allowing
food
in
the
building.
Just
because
you
know
we
don't
know
who's
vaccinated,
we
don't
who's
not,
but
we've
put
additional
patio
tables
outside
and,
as
you
know,
we've
been
working
on
the
garden
outside.
D
So
there's
many
locations
for
people
to
eat
outside
under
an
umbrella
at
a
patio
table,
so
we're
going
to
encourage
the
kids
and
families
and
whoever
else
you're
more
than
welcome
to
eat
here.
Just
make
sure
it's
on
in
you
know
these
specific
locations,
so
that
will
be
you
know
the
school
is
working
with
us
on
that.
So
hopefully
did
any
answer
your
question.
I
did
thank
you.
Okay,.
A
D
D
I
was
telling
marie
at
some
point
that
I'm
feeling,
like
you
know,
I
spent
a
lot
of
time
talking
and
I
love
informing
you
and
but
if
there's
anything
in
future
that
you're
interested
in
you
would
like
me
to
talk
about
not
just
at
the
meeting
but
like
so
I
can
plan
or
prepare
if
there
was
something
you
wanted
to
learn
about
that,
I
can
talk
about
or
we
can
have
a
discussion.
I
welcome
the
agenda
items.
You
can
email
me
directly
and
I'll
put
it
on
the
agenda.
D
I
don't
want
you
to
constantly
think
I
I'm
the
one
who
has
to
control.
You
know
how
the
how
the
meeting's
going
I'd
welcome.
You
know
any
discussion
on
anything
library.
So,
just
if
there's
anything
in
the
future,
please
don't
you
know
please
reach
out
to
me
and
I
will
put
those
on
the
agenda.
Items
doesn't
have
to
just
be
communications.
D
I
think
the
challenge
with
this
this
group
over
the
many
many
years
is
it's
been
through
a
lot
of
interesting
situations
and-
and
I
know
one
thing
for
sue
and
covid
especially
has
skewed
a
lot
of
things,
and
you
know
we
were
out
of
touch
with
our
members
doing
all
the
nitty-gritty
stuff.
She
was
taking
a
lot
of
responsibility
and
what
our
hope
was
originally
when
she
took
it
on
and
kim
and
I
discussed,
was
to
get
a
fully
functioning
board.
D
D
She
has
a
lot
of
experience
with
grant
writing,
and
so
we
thought
would
be
a
great
fit
and
it
has
been,
I
mean
kim,
does
an
amazing
job,
but
you
have
to
have
people
willing
if
they're
gonna
volunteer
for
this
kind
of
border
position.
As
you
know,
as
you
come
to
the
meetings
they
have
to
come,
they
have
to
be
present
and
they
have
to
whatever
job
they
decide
to
take
on.
They
need
to.
You
know
actively
do
that
job,
and
so
I
think,
going
forward.
D
D
They
are
bottom
line
is
they
are
fundraising
and
advocacy
group
for
the
library
period,
and
so
we
just
want
to
translate
that
to
people
get
people
excited
about
being
on
a
board
being
interested
in
helping
us
supporting
us
much
like
you
all
do,
and
I
told
marie
one
of
the
things
that
I'd
be
really
excited
about.
I
know
all
of
you
have
a
fabulous
network
of
people
that
you
know
whether
it's
in
town
or
your
professions
or,
however,
you
can
lend
a
helping
hand
to
that
end.
D
I
have
proactively
gone
on
ala,
which
is
american
library,
association
and
the
state
library.
They
have
wonderful
resources.
What
a
friend's
group
is
how
to
deal
with
them,
how
to
work
with
them,
how
to
have
them
as
your
advocates,
how
the
library
board
is
involved
with
them.
So
we
have
great
literature
and
great
background
that
can
help
support
us
going
forward.
D
C
I
just
want
to
reassure
jen
that
this
it's
a
very
typical
problem.
You
know
my
friend's
group
at
bill.
There
were
some
years
that
they
were
just
gangbusters
and
other
years.
It
was
like
pulling
teeth.
Yes,
anybody
met
show
up
and
do
anything
you
know,
and
they
it's
cyclical
and
it's
typical
of
friend
volunteer
groups
to
friends,
I'm
sure
it
will
resolve.
We
brought
in
somebody
from
the
state.
At
the
time
who
came
in
and
talked
to,
the
friends
gave
a
presentation
we
did.
C
C
D
So
it
was
really
hilarious
because
it
was
like
you
know:
you're
right,
it
is
cyclical.
Things
will
happen
depending
on
who's
on
who's
off,
who
wants
to
participate,
who's
doing
too
much
who's
doing
too
little.
So,
like
you
said,
I
think
volunteerism,
and
you
know
it's
up
to
the
individual
to
provide
that
so,
but
I
feel
very
positive
in
it
I
mean
the
junior
friends
is
still
active.
They
only
meet
up
once
a
year
yeah
they
only
meet
once
a
year.
D
I
mean
they
didn't
last
year,
obviously,
but
kim
emails
them
to
vote
on
things
per
year.
It's
their
annual
membership
or
annual
voting,
but
the
good
news
is
the
positives
to
take
from
this.
Is
it's
a
healthy
budget
that
they
have
or
for
a
non-profit
we've
looked
at
marie
asked
regarding
bylaws,
we
had
modified
them
and
edited
them,
but
they
were
supposed
to
go
for
a
vote
and
we're
trying
to
find
the
document
that
we
modified.
D
Our
financial
status
is
good
in
the
sense,
if
we
filled
out
all
our
tax
forms,
all
the
non-profit
stuff
has
been,
you
know
done,
and
the
last
thing
we
were
looking
at
before
sue
left
was
looking
at
how
to
have
an
annual
audit,
and
so
you
know
things
things
were
moving
and
and
and
continue
to
do
so
we
just
like,
I
said,
need
maybe
need
some
more
participants
and
active
board
and
see
how
that
goes.
So
I'd
welcome
any
help.
Any
assistance,
any
advisement
going
forward.
A
A
A
You
know
with
a
focus
is
that
you
and
your
administration
and
staff,
and
maybe
the
board
as
well
and
several
friends
of
course,
identify
maybe
just
a
handful
of
other
things.
You
know
you
have
museum
passes,
but
are
there
two
or
three
critical,
fundraising
goals
that,
if
don't
achieve
them,
there's
going
to
be
services
that
fall
flat
and
yeah?
I
just
think
about
when
those
who
were
on
the
board
back
when
we
raised
the
money
for
the
groton
history
room.
A
H
D
And
I
can
that's
actually
great
segue,
because
one
of
the
things
I
mean
I
told
you,
museum
pass
is
very
important,
but
actually
the
critical
piece
to
all
of
this
is
with
the
budget.
Looking
at
the
budget
overall,
initially
I
mentioned
to
sue
and
went
to
a
meeting
when
she
first
stepped
on
one
of
the
things
I
said
that
was
very
important.
Going
forward
was
programming.
D
D
It's
like,
I
think,
like
a
500
program
and
well,
I
think
it's
important
to
have
cultural
things.
At
the
same
token,
where
do
you?
Where
do
you
draw
the
line
with
your
operating
budget,
and
where
do
you
encourage
your
support
group
to
then
provide
for
those
kind
of
things?
And
that
being
said,
it
also
gives
you
a
marketing
avenue.
Our
friends
have
purchased
this
lovely
program
for
you
to
enjoy
in
our
community.
D
So
I
think,
what's
even
more
critical
is
programs,
and
that
is
a
program.
It's
just
a
passive
program.
The
museum
passes,
so
relying
on
them
for
programming
to
me
is
number
one
again,
not
to
say
we
don't
have
any
funds
for
programs,
but
the
majority
has
been
in
the
last
year,
two
years,
but
basically
funded
by
the
friends,
and
I
think
it's
a
great
win-win
for
both
of
us
for
the
community,
and
I
think
that
typically
is
the
ultimate
goal.
D
D
Another
one
that's
a
program:
they
they
help
us
with
the
incentive
prizes.
They
help
us
with
buying
purchasing
books
to
give
out
to
children
so
very
critical.
So
I
I
agree
with
you.
The
focus,
I
think
would
be
helpful,
so
people
know
what
they're
doing
or
what
they're
fundraising
for,
and
we
definitely
have
those
items-
and
maybe
it's
just
better
to
succinctly
put
it
in
a
document.
So
when
we're
hopefully.
E
D
D
B
E
Marie
do
you
remember
a
long
time
ago
when
the
circle
of
friends
was
reconfiguring,
there
was
a
big
meeting
on
a
saturday
and
everybody
came,
and
it
was
actually
like
trying
to
sort
of
figure
out
what
is
the
group's
identity
and
purpose
right
right?
I
do
and
was
it
purely
fundraising
or
the
circle
of
friends,
sort
of
indicated
that
maybe
they
would
gather
for
social
things
at
the
time.
You
know
a
lot
of
ideas
were
thrown
out
to
try
to
make
the
group
feel
like
more
than
write
a
check
and
a
lot
of
those.
E
There
were
a
lot
of
good
ideas,
but
a
lot
of
them
didn't
come
to
pass.
So
I
guess
the
question
is
to
me
you're
identifying
what
you
want
the
fundraising
to
do
for
you,
but
what's
the
group's
core
identity
is?
Is
it
simply
to
get
people
to
give
money,
or
is
it
to
become
a
group
where
people
know
each
other
and
come
together
in
activities
that
raise
funds?
D
Well,
I
was
only
speaking
to
what
our
priority
needs
are,
but
of
friends
of
friends
of
the
library
group
is
an
advocacy
group
and
a
fundraising
group.
Those
are
the
two
main
purposes
of
this
group
if
it
wants
to
become
social
because
they're
they're
enjoying
each
other's
company
sure,
but
those
are
the
two
main
goals
of
us
friends
of
the
library
group.
D
E
I
That's
very
very
interesting
what
rosemary
said.
I
was
obviously
not
been
here
very
long
at
all
and
other
than
receiving
some
letter
and
sending
a
check
to
the
friends
of
the
friends.
I
have
no
idea.
I
mean
the
the
two
things
that
you
that
you've
said.
Generic
are
obvious.
That's
the
specific
outcome
in
terms
of
benefit
to
the
library,
but
what
I
hear
rosemary
is
saying
is
maybe
the
absence
of
specific
benefits,
articulated
specific
benefits
to
the
friends
themselves
may
be
a
missing
piece
in
putting
together
an
organization
that
can
deliver
the
library
benefits.
H
Can
I
just
say
something
I
I
have
been
the
liaison
for
the
last
couple
of
years
to
their
meetings
and
nobody
comes.
I
mean
I
think,
there's
six
of
us.
If
you
count
me
and
you
count
kim
and
and
sue
then
there's
three
other
people
I
mean
they
just
don't
have
a
lot
of
people
in
that
group.
I
think
a
part
of
the
socialization
that
comes
along
with
it
are
the
things
that
they
do.
They
they
do
book.
Sales
catherine
was
just
part
of
the
book
sale.
H
They
they
just
had
that
and
that's
a
thing
where
they
can
socialize
by
doing
that
they
have
a
valentine's
day,
sale
where
they
sell
cookies
and
all
that
sort
of
thing.
So
they
do
things
to
raise
money.
But
it's
a
tiny
group.
When
I
tell
you
there's
very
few
people,
I
can
see
why
sue
was
discouraged,
you
know
and
they
meet
on
a
saturday
morning
once
a
month,
and
maybe
six
people
show
up-
and
that
includes
me
who
is
not
I'm
just
liaison
and
sue,
is
the
president
and
and
kim.
I
Well,
I
guess
all
I'm
saying
is:
maybe
if
we
I
I
don't
know
if
this
is
accurate,
I'm
just
shooting
from
the
hip
without
having
given
it
a
lot
of
thought.
But
maybe
if
we
look
at
it
as
a
social
group
that
revolves
around
a
function
of
helping
the
library
rather
than
a
library
group
that
has
some
social
function
to
generate
library
help.
I
Maybe
that
might
make
it
more
attractive
to
recruit
people
and,
for
example,
the
monthly
meeting
can
be
a
saturday
morning,
but
it
can
also
be
4
p.m
or
5
p.m
in
the
summer
and
get
together
and
have
a
dish
to
pass,
and
you
know
again,
a
real,
a
real
social
function
at
which
the
library
business
will
be
taken.
Care
of.
H
I
think
that's
backwards.
I
just
do
I
mean
I
think
it's
nice
to
have
the
social
aspect
of
it,
but
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
discouraged
sue
is
that
there
weren't
a
lot
of
people
out
there
who
wanted
to
do
what
needed
to
be
done
to
raise
the
money,
because
we
were
the
last
in-person
meeting
I
went
to.
They
were
talking
about
actually
having
a
real
book
sale
again,
not
the
little
pop-up
ones
that
we've
been
having,
but
a.
C
H
Book
sale
and
I
think
it
scared
sue
to
think
that
we're
going
to
take
on
something
so
huge
with
so
few
people.
So
I
think
what
they're
looking
for
are
people
who
want
to
come
in
and
work
for
the
library
and,
if
there's
socialization
along
with
that,
then
that's
great.
But
I
think
the
first
thing
they
want
is
people
who
are
really
interested
in
helping
the
library.
H
Well,
I
said
I
was
talking
to
jennifer
at
the
library
the
other
day,
and
I
said
I
thought
we
should
invite,
maybe
to
our
meeting
or
somewhere
to
some
being
the
woman
who
runs
the
friends
at
the
mystic
and
knowing
library
they
have
a
really
good
friend,
yeah
and
and
just
have
her
talk
about
how
they
recruit
people.
That
sort
of
thing
I
I
don't
think
it's
that
great.
C
C
F
I
would
think
that
for
this
group
it
can't
start
as
a
social
group,
because
you
can't
kind
of
order
people
to
like
each
other.
You
know
it's
got
to
have
a
mission
tied
to
the
library
and
if
the
people
who
join
it
happen
to
really
get
along
and
enjoy
each
other's
company,
great,
you
know,
have
you
know,
meet
wherever
for
dinner.
C
They
need
to
know,
what's
expected,
what
do
you
need
them
to
be
there
to
be
raising
money
for
children's
programs
or
if
they
are
specifically,
you
know
if
museum
passes
are
a
real
big
part
of
it?
Then
they
need
to
know
that
these
are
the
things
you're
expected
to
fund
or
to
you
know,
raise
money
to
do.
F
D
How
do
you
think
having
that
marketing
piece
that
you
just
said
would
be
great?
However,
what's
really
critical
for
people
to
understand-
and
I
know
what
you're
trying
to
say
rosemary
and
matthew,
but
I
can't
stress
enough
the
existence.
The
reason
for
the
group
is
is
exclusively
for
the
library.
It
is
advocacy
like
you
do
as
a
board
advocating
to
the
library
writing
letters
whatever
spreading
word
of
mouth.
D
The
other
thing
is,
it
is
the
fundraising
and
typically,
I
will
tell
you
and
most
of
the
experiences
we've
had
with
friends
group,
the
fundraising
we
do
a
lot
of
it.
I
mean
we
have
because
we
got
some
great
ideas,
but
essentially
what
they've
always
done.
Friends
groups
has
been
book
sales
because
we
have
extra
books.
D
Donations
come
in.
That
has
usually
been
the
bread
and
butter
of
that
fundraising
idea.
I
mean
some
libraries
actually
have
stores
they
have
friends
of
library,
bookstore
right
on
on
the
premises,
use
books
and
that's
a
lot
of
where
the
funding
comes
from.
All
the
extra
stuff
of
fundraising
is
all
dependent
upon
what
the
group
is
interested
in
fundraising,
like
I'm
telling
you
the
priorities
of
what
we
need,
I
mean
it's
really
based
on
what
they
want
to
fundraise.
It's
not
really
what
we
want
to
generate
fundraising.
D
D
F
D
E
D
C
A
H
Why
I
said
to
jennifer?
I
really
I
don't
really
know
how
to
run
a
friend's
meeting
I,
but
I
think
if
we
talked
had
the
woman
who
I
don't
remember
her
name,
the
woman
from
music
and
noah
come
and
give
some
ideas
of
what
they
do
and
how
it's
popular.
I
don't
know
whether
it's
different
for
a
municipal
library
than
it
is,
for
you
know,
mystic
and
oink
or
bill.
I
mean,
I
guess,
they're
they're,
not
municipal
in
the
same
sense
that
broughton
is
but.
D
D
She
has
been
very
supportive
and
said
she
would
be
there
to
help
us
she's.
Also
the
treasurer
at
the
state.
There's
a
friends
group
at
the
state
level
organization.
That
kind
of
runs
you
know,
helps
out
with
all
friends
groups
but
she's
the
treasurer
up
there
as
well
or
has
in
the
past,
but
she
said
she'd
be
happy
to
help
us
in
the
you
know
previously.
H
Absolutely
the
other
thing
is
despite
what
I've
said
about
how
small
the
group
is,
the
fundraisers
that
I've
been
involved
in
in
the
last
year
and
a
half
they've
been
very
successful.
People
are
very
generous
when
they
come
in
and,
as
catherine
said,
for
the
book
sales
and
the
valentine's
day
sales.
We
had
a
couple
of
those,
they
were
fantastic.
E
F
D
D
You
know
at
some
point
you
may
want
to
get
off
of
what
that's
totally
fine.
We
totally
understand
that,
but
we
want
to
have
that
longevity
and
consistency,
at
least
with
some
board
members.
We
can't
just
have
one.
I
know
kim
has
just
put
out
an
email
and
marilyn
you're,
probably
going
to
get
that
today.
She
emailed
you
sue,
troy
who's,
our
active
secretary
and
ellen
brown.
Who
is
our
current
treasurer
about?
D
D
D
We
don't
necessarily
have
a
threshold
that
we
have
to
reach
every
year.
Now
that
we've
implemented
some
things
like,
as
marilyn
said,
we
have
this
book
page,
it's
a
magazine
that
has
all
readers
advisory
type
things,
people
love
it
and
we
were
paying
for
it
out
of
the
operating
budget.
However,
it's
a
giveaway,
but
we
wanted
to
increase
the
number
of
magazines
that
we
had
for
people
and
it
became
a
little.
It
is
costly
and
the
friends
was
happy
to
take
that
on
because
they
love
it.
The
members
loved
it
too.
D
So
there's
certain
things
like
that.
The
passes
we
would
like
to
keep
going
and,
like
I
said
some
programming,
but
it's
not
we
don't.
You
know
we're
not
saying
we
need
twenty
thousand
dollars
every
year.
It's
really
based
on
just
the
programs
that
people
wanna
do
the
fundraising
things
that
they
are
interested
to
to
to
do.
I
will
tell
you,
though
we
do
have
money
in
the
friends
right
now.
D
So
we
don't
have
a
specific
number
per
se
with
these
services.
I
could
get
you
a
better
number
of
what
we'd
want
to
make
sure
we
reach
every
year,
but
because
we
have
a
healthy
back
budget
right
now.
I
think
we
can
facilitate
that
for
a
little
bit,
I
mean
for
a
while
before
we
get
some
new
members.
As
for
donating
twenty
thousand
dollars.
Sure
in
lieu
of
I
mean
it
creates
good
community,
you
know
generates
good
community
community
and.
A
D
For
a
year
well,
I'd
probably
say
the
things
that
we're
doing
now,
I'd
probably
say
just
to
give
a
throw
out.
Maybe
having
5
000
a
year
would
be
a
good
goal
to
have
every
year,
just
because
that
would
pay
for
the
services
that
we're
excited
about.
That
could
help
us,
not
even
just
the
programs,
but
you
know
some
of
the
things
that
the
community
has
come
to
adore
and
wants
to
see
continued.
So
I
would
take
a
best
guess
at
like
a
5
000
a
year.
A
A
A
D
Different
sources,
so
we
have
our
operating
budget
and
then
we
have
a
donation,
trust.
That
is
basically,
if
somebody
walks
in
the
door
and
they
they
know
nothing
about
the
friends
or
they
don't
want
to
buy
books
or
whatnot.
They
come
in
and
they
say
my
my
child,
absolutely
adores
getting
the
play-aways
that
you
have
the
audiobooks.
D
D
They
want
to
see,
I
don't
know
more
yearbooks
or
something
they
will
say
I
want
to.
I
would
like
to
make
this
donation
for
this
particular
purpose,
and
we
will
it's.
That's
the
separate
fund
so
many
times
it's
specific
in
nature
of
what
they
would
like
to
see
and
we'd
like
to.
You
know,
assist
in
that.
So
that's
one
fund
and
they
can
also
just
say
I
want
to
donate
this
specifically
to
the
library
for
either
services
or
something
services,
new
toy,
whatever
it
is,
and
we
have
this
separate
fun.
D
A
A
D
Yeah
well,
and
the
important
thing
to
note
about
that
is
back
in
the
day.
Donations
would
come
in
for
specific
things
and
at
least
in
the
past
history
they
the
the
old
board.
I
guess,
wouldn't
vote
on
certain
things
and
then
the
money
would
just
sit
in
the
fund
and
when
somebody
is
donating
money
for
something
specific
like
a
book
or
we
need
to
buy
it
so
having
them
vote
on
it.
So
there
was
some
back
and
forth
with,
I
guess
the
older
boards
and
what
they
needed
to
push
forward.
D
F
I
I'll
make
a
side
comment.
First,
the
value
of
that
tax
write-off
has
been
tremendously
diminished
since
the
change
tax
law
yeah
with
the
business
of
not
having
deductions,
you
really
have
to
be
higher
income
to
take
advantage
of
that.
So,
to
the
extent
that
it's
allowed
by
law
really
means
it's
not
even
for
most
ordinary
folks
going
to
make
much
of
a
difference.
I
Yeah,
so
if
I
understood
you
correctly,
jen
sue's
domition
was
not
a
matter
of
relational
issues,
but
a
matter
of
her
being
frightened
or
concerned
with
the
amount
of
labor
that
was
going
to
be
fall
uniquely
on
her
shoulders.
So
part
of
what
that
tells
me
is
that
we
may
need
to
be
more
creative
and
more
imaginative
in
ways.
We
can
suggest
that
the
circle
of
friends
raise
money
that
will
be
less
labor
intensive
than
a
book
sale.
That's
not
to
suggest
we
don't
do
book
sales.
I
I
Magazine
for
myself
for
800
miles
and
it
saves
me
125
subscription.
We
can
buy
a
lot
of
magazines
for
relatively
little
miles
and
many
of
us
have
lots
of
miles
we're
not
using
that's.
That
is
a
a
less
labor
intensive
business
supporters
where
we
have
a
nice
little
decal,
which
we
become
a
supporter
of
the
groton
public
library,
special
programs
fund
and
the
business.
We
can
go
to
businesses
and
I
don't
know
what
price
points
you
want
to
put
it
at
25.50.
I
H
D
Actual
one
thing
I
did
wanna,
I'm
glad
you
mentioned
that,
because,
with
the
book
sales,
actually
none
of
the
friends
were
the
ones
doing
the
book
sale.
It
was
our
volunteers
who
are,
they
may
be
called
considered
friends,
but
they
are
an
active
volunteer
group.
That
kim
is
the
volunteer
coordinator
and
she
recruits
the
volunteers
for
those
book
sales,
so
them
being
labor
intensive
was
laid
on
the
volunteers,
not
the
friends
interested.
A
D
Well,
you
know
at
one
point
I
was
telling
marie
we
talked
about.
This
too,
is
at
one
point,
the
friends
and
the
volunteers
were
merged,
and
I
don't
you
know
at
first.
I
was
like
yeah.
That
makes
sense.
Just
put
everybody
together:
everybody
you
know
is
helping
out,
but
what
was
apparent
is
you
know
those
volunteers
were
not
actively
necessarily
engaged
in
the
friends
they
just
volunteer
for
the
library,
so
they
would
come
like
we
have
one
active
person
that
has
been
doing
all
of
our
gardening
outside
she
rips
up
weeds.
D
C
D
Mean
we
could
certainly,
I
think,
that's
already
what
we
do,
but
because
there's
no
right
now,
there's
no!
Even
when
sue
is
on
board.
You
know
we
don't
have
a
vice
president.
We
didn't
meet,
but
the
volunteers
have,
you
know,
started
to
pick
up,
so
I
think
they
already
are
considered
members
when
they
sign
up.
They
check
the
box,
but
I
don't
know
if
we've
gone
that
far
because
we
haven't
had
we
don't
have
an
active
board
yet
to
to
encourage.
You
know:
hey
well,
everybody
needs
to
come
to
these
meetings.
D
I
will
tell
you
that,
even
though
I've
just
thrown
out
to
all
of
you-
oh,
if
you
have
a
network
of
people
kim,
has
thought
of
some
some
volunteers,
she
might
be
asking
some
of
our
more
active
ones.
She
has
a
short
list
of
possible
recruitment
opportunities.
You
know
for
for
some
people
that
she
knows,
but
of
course
I
wanted
to
make
it
more
open
to
see
you
know,
maybe
what
you
thought
or
some
people
you
may
know
that
may
be
somewhat
interested
to
at
least
learn
more.
You
know.
A
D
B
C
D
So,
like
I
said
step,
one
is
we're
reaching
out
to
the
few
people.
We
have
left
cleaning
up
some
of
the
things
that
the
things
that
need
desperate
attention
right
this
moment
and
then
you
know
looking
at
how
to
recruit
how
to
put
this
together.
Like
I
said,
I've
printed
out
some
literature,
so
maybe
we
can
come
up
with
a
snazzy
little.
You
know
one
pager
of
what
friends
do
to
get
people
maybe
generated
and
interested
in
joining.
B
D
D
No
very
much
trouble.
I
would
actually
welcome
that
if
anybody
was
interested
not
necessarily
becoming
you
know,
friends,
members,
but
maybe
to
discuss
some
options
because,
like
I
said
kim-
and
I
are
like
doing
all
these
things
and
then
trying
to
focus
on
you
know,
how
do
we
get
this
organization
off
the
ground
and
it'd
be
nice
to
have
some
other
input
and
recommendations
and
because
as
much
as
I'm
an
ex
officio,
I
am
fully
supportive
of
the
circle
of
friends.
D
However,
I
can't
run
them,
nor
can
I
you
know
one
of
the
things
we're
running
into
and
thank
goodness,
we
do
have
ellen,
but
you
know
making
deposits
of
money
like
they
are
a
separate
organization.
We
just
it's
it's
not
something
you
should
really.
I
mean
being
a
liaison
like
having
a
liaison
from
the
board
or,
having
you
know,
I'm
the
ex
officio
and
having
a
liaison
from
my
library
staff
to
help
is
one
thing,
but
to
actually
run
the
organization.
I
don't
I
don't
think
that's
legal,
so
we
have
to.
D
I
I
D
Actually,
I
think,
that's
great,
because
we're
going
to
be
opening
our
meeting
rooms
we're
going
to
have
outdoor
venues.
We
definitely
are
going
to
be
able
to
hold
in-person
stuff,
at
least
if
on
grounds
somewhere
and
that's
great,
a
great
idea,
because
one
thing
right
before
sue,
left,
kim
and
and
sue
had
work
on
the
annual
report,
which
they
just
sent
out
to
all
their
members.
So
it
it's
great
because
it
finalizes
the
year,
but
now
the
start
of
the
next.
And
what
are
we
going
to
do
so?
A
But
yeah,
I
I
really
like
that
idea,
but
I'm
going
to
kind
of
go
back
to
what
I
just
said
in
terms
of
having
know
what
you
know
what
your
organization
is
before,
we,
you
know
bring
in
60,
70
people.
I
think
that
structure
of
how
the
volunteers
and
circle
of
friends
and
the
donation
have
just
be
more
clear
about
what
it
is
that
you're
looking
for.
F
E
E
C
E
F
E
F
I
E
You
wonder
if
maybe,
if
we're
gonna
do
a,
they
could
get
like
an
address
list.
You
know
you
talk
about
a
snazzy
card,
you
know,
like
catherine,
was
saying.
Maybe
we
should
bite
the
bullet
and
the
board
sit
down
someday
and
do
an
address
thing,
a
snazzy
card
in
an
envelope
to
somebody's
name
at
their
house,
rather
than
hoping
that
in
the
thousands
of
emails
everybody's
waiting
through
they're
ever
going
to
see
it,
you
know
I
don't
know
it
might
be
old-fashioned,
but
so
many
emails
come
in
on
different
names
and
different.
You
know
accounts.
D
E
D
I'm
not
saying
they
can't
I'm
just
saying
that.
That's
something
that
they
have
to
just
then
decide
that
do
they
want
to
do
a
paper
million.
That's
totally
fine.
If
that's,
you
know
what
they
want
to
do
because
cert
not
that
it
matters,
but
the
cersei
thing
is
a
completely
separate
thing.
That's
that's!
The
libraries
are
from
our
catalog,
but
right
so
yeah.
Of
course
I
mean
if
that's
something
they
want
to
do,
and
they
can
market
themselves
absolutely.
D
Like
I
said
we're
getting
proactive,
I
think
it'd
be
great
if
you,
if,
if
you
want
to
think
about
it,
having
one
or
two
people
who
may
be
interested
in
not
taking
on
a
role
but
basically
advisement,
you
know
just
being
active
somehow
some
way
that
we
can
move
this
forward
or
actually
helping
with
recruitment
or
marketing
marketing
ideas.
Or
you
know,
I
guess
I'd-
welcome
any
feedback
that
that
somebody
may
be
in.
A
Well,
I
suggest
that
with
this
board
here
we
look
more
at
the
big
picture:
okay,
in
terms
of
the
the
structure
of
donations
and
fundraising
for
the
library
and
just
put
all
those
pieces
together.
Maybe
in
you
know
before
we
start
getting
down
to
the
nitty-gritty
of
this
making
the
circle
of
friends,
functional.
D
What
the
only
thing
I
have
to
ask
is:
what
about
donations?
We
are
gonna,
keep
our
donation,
trust
we're
not
getting
rid
of
that.
So
I
don't
know
we
are.
We
went
from
a
membership,
drive
type
situation
with
the
friends,
and
that
was
decided
that
the
membership
wasn't
working
and
that
was
purely
decided
by
the
friends.
So
they
wanted
to
do
something
different
and
to
be
honest,
like
blanking,
on
how
they
wanted
to
do
it.
But
that
is
something
that
they've
decided.
A
A
A
You
know,
disagree,
please
disagree
if
you,
if
you
feel
differently,
but
I
think
perhaps
at
the
july
meeting
could
talk
more
about
what
the
board
this
board's
role
could
be
to
more
as
an
overview
and
buddies
that
were
kind
of
loosely.
I
guess
of
the
volunteerism
donations,
fundraising
advocacy
by
the
community
for
the
groton
public
library
and
again
just
even
so.
We
can
talk
enough
in
a
same
voice,
I
guess
and
purpose,
and
then
usually
we
don't
meet
in
august,
but
perhaps
in
the
fall
with
some
renewed,
you
know
clarity.
We
can.
A
A
G
D
The
board's
role
at
this
point
is
just
to
more
periphery
in
the
sense
of
advisement.
You
all
have
been
on
boards
before
you've
been
active
in
different
things,
you're
an
active
board
here,
you
know
just
as
an
advocacy
group.
Even
so
just
more
advising
I
I
you
know,
I
don't
want
you
to
think.
I
want
you
to
fully
invest
yourselves
as
the
new
circle
of
friends
board
either.
So
I
I
welcome
your
opinions.
D
D
So
next
steps
would
basically
be.
We
were
gonna
tasking
came
with
first
getting
a
hold
of
who
we
have
and
seeing
maybe
maybe
the
three
people
we
have
want
to
move
up.
I
mean
I
I
don't
know
so.
I
think
the
first
step
is
getting
getting.
Those
members
that
have
been
attending
the
few
that
they're
at
is
to
you
know,
see
where
they
want
to
go
and
if
they
want
to
continue
to
participate.
D
A
D
D
D
A
D
I
could
for
the
essence
of
time
the
statistic
changes.
Basically,
one
of
the
things
was
already
mentioned
about
doing
the
monthlies,
so
you
would
have
more
information
on
that
and
I
had
a
couple
tweaks
off
the
bat
that
you
know
you
tasked
with
me
last
time
like
what
are
some
things
you'd
like
to
change
the
very
small
things.
I
think
we
should
combine
things
like
downloadable,
audio
and
video,
because
we
tend
not
to
have
a
lot
of.
We
don't
have
a
lot
of
video
in
in
our
overdrive
collection.
D
D
We
talked
about
the
the
websites,
the
website.
You
know
the
library
homepage
visits
as
opposed
to
the
visit
website
with
google.
My
business,
I
told
you
that
google,
my
business,
tends
to
be
more
ac,
more
accurate,
so
we
may
want
to
look
at
I
you
know
looking
at
those
numbers.
I
can
do
something
with
that,
and
there
was
one
other
odd
one
too
that
I
of
course
didn't
write
down.
There's
another
small
tweak.
I
don't
know
how
you
all
feel
about
breaking
out.
D
D
D
Okay,
so
last
but
not
least
library
open
hours.
I
just
wanted
to
follow
up
with
something
that
matthew
we've
been
going
back
and
forth.
We
can
continue
with
this
and
add
it
to
the
next
meeting,
but
I
do
want
to
tell
you
matthew.
The
email
suggestion
was
duly
noted.
We
are
going
to
put
out
an
email
blast.
We
were
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
do
it
within
the
cersei
system,
our
library
system
and
we're
also
going
to
highlight
summer
reading
at
the
same
time,
in
order
to
hopefully
bring
people
in.
D
So
we
are
going
to
look
to
that
until
next
to
next
week.
So,
hopefully
you
should
be
seeing
that
email
class
come
through,
and
the
other
thing
I
wanted
to
mention
is
with
all
this
discussion
on
marketing.
Just
a
quick
comment
is
I
we
want
people
back
in.
We
want
to
do
more
marketing
to
enlighten
people
who
are
open.
D
I
I
I
absolutely
agree
if
you
think
that
this
framework
has
any
validity
whatsoever,
I'd
be
thrilled
to
receive
any
comments
and
by
all
means,
send
them
to
marie
and
jen
as
well,
and
I
can
massage
what
I've
done
in
light
of
your
comments
and
come
up
with
a
second
version,
so
you
know
my
email
address.
I
suppose.
C
C
I
This
is
well
the
the
the
the
thing
from
cornell
was
a
or
is
a
a
technique
to
reach
out
to
media
a
cost-effective
way
to
reach
out
to
media
with
story
lines
that
we
would
like
them
to
consider
doing.
We
could
go
a
step
further
and
actually
write
the
stories
and
send
them
out,
but
there's
so
much
labor
involved
in
sending
something
out
that
you
don't
know
if
people
will
use
that
by
sending
out
these
tip
sheets.
I
I
This
is
not
a
proposal,
it's
a
discussion
and
that's
what
I
was
seeking
feedback
from
you,
whether
we
do
it
today
or
next
month
or
the
month
thereafter,
but
I
agree
with
jen.
We
would
be
working
over
the
summer
to
have
something
in
place
that
we
can
roll
out
in
whatever
form
we
want
to
roll
it
out.
Mid-August.
A
I
That's
a
way
of
cross-referencing
support.
One
other
thing
I
failed
to
put
in
here
is
we.
We
could
approach
the
groton
times
to
ask
if
they
would
consider
giving
us
500
words
or
300
words
once
a
month.
You
know
just
to
build
it
right
into
their
schedule.
That
saves
them
the
work
of
filling
the
space
and
we're
guaranteed
a
great
distribution
of
whatever
it
is.
We
want
to
talk
about
sure.
F
F
I
would
lean
with
the
day
I
would
lean
toward
the
times
newspapers
provide
them
with
content.
Maybe
do
something
monthly,
where
we
rotate
among
the
local
libraries.
You
know
give
everybody
an
opportunity
to
to
write
something
because
that's
another
issue.
Reporters
will
look
at
well.
Okay,
I
did
a
feature
on
student
gender
program
at
the
groton
public
library
last
month.
I
we
can't
do
another
one
until
we
do
something
on
waterford
and
we
have
to
do
something
on
new
london.
F
So
there's
this
parody
issue
from
town
to
town,
so
that
I
think,
if
we
can
do
something
altogether,
that
shows
we're
working
together
and
provide
the
content.
I
think
maybe
the
day
the
times
group
would
buy
that
I'm
not
sure
if
they
would
want
to
do
something,
if
it's
also
that
they
would
want
to
use
the
same
content
as
patch.
But
I
would
prioritize
the
times
newspapers
over
patch
because
oh
yeah,
it
was
a
fading
audience.
Yeah.
I
The
other
thing,
sometimes,
if
we're
having
a
program
if
mary
doe
is
going
to
do
a
program
on
basket,
weaving
or
whatever
the
program
is.
If
we
can
get
a
photograph
of
mary
doe
demonstrating
doing
some
basket
weaving,
we
can
send
in
a
photograph
in
advance
which,
with
a
cut
line
and
that
that
that
almost
serves
the
function
of
a
story
in
some
regards.
F
Does
not
like
to
run
submitted
photos
the
times
newspapers
will
I
mean
it's
all
kind
of
the
same.
It's
the
same
organization,
but
their
bar
is
higher
for
the
day.
The
the
day
will
generally
only
run
pictures
that
their
staff
photographers
take
the
times.
Group
is
a
little
bit
different.
They
they
will
accept,
submitted
photos,
but
then
again
you
have
to
be
really
careful,
because
if
you
keep
submitting
stuff
they're
gonna
get
to
the
point
where
it's
like,
oh
another,
photo
or.
G
F
You
know
big
story
from
the
grant
public
library
about
the
program
that
they
did
last
week.
So
it's
got
to
be.
I
would
make
it
more
of
a
joint
effort
with
the
other
libraries
and
I
think
the
idea
of
doing
a
column.
You
know
like
they
do,
the
local
history,
columns
and
streeter
does
one
and
the
guy.
I
can't
remember
his
name,
I
think,
he's
in
waterford.
He
does
one
and
then
so
they
do
a
lot
of
history
stuff
right
now
they
did.
A
D
C
C
F
A
A
C
C
A
Have
would
recommend
that
we
keep
our
joint
meeting
and
I'm
looking
at
hallie
broughton.
What
could
come
out
of
that
discussion?
Is
this
a
project
of
the
the
rotating
newspaper
call
that
could
be
something
that
we,
you
know
some
an
action
that
comes
out
of
that
that
meeting,
but
but
let's
talk
about,
let's
think
about
what
that
joint
mean
in
september,
could
and
should
be.
A
I
Oh
definitely,
the
the
other
piece
that
we
didn't
that
I
didn't
mention
was
the
radio
piece
and
I've
had
a
lot.
I
see
two
steps.
One
is
to
poll
the
local
radio
stations
to
see
if
they'd
be
willing
to
take
15
or
30
second
spots.
If
they're
not
willing,
there's
no
point
in
wasting
the
time,
and
if
they
are
willing
we
can
draw
or
we
can
you
can.
I
can
whatever
you
want.
We
can
draft
some
scripts.
I
I
C
I
A
A
So
I
I
I
really
don't
have
a
strong
opinion,
one
of
them,
but
I'd
like
to
know,
know
what
what
you
feel
about,
whether
we
should
have
our
july
meeting
in
person
or
continue
to
have
a
zoom
and
then
have
our
first
in-person
meeting
be
in
september
and
captain
I'm
going
to
look
to
you,
because
I
I
think
that
you
were
and
just
respect
any.
I
think
one
person
says
it's
too
soon.
We
go
to
zoom
in
july.
