The carts are still not being moved by library personnel. Debbie has assured us this will be done prior to the book sale each Wednesday. The monthly book weeding will be cancelled for December.

Karen suggested that the Friends resume having a table at the Sunday library programs. It was agreed that from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. would be the best time to be present. Debbie will ask that Angela in her introduction to each program mention the Friends will have a table outside and that we assist with special programs not funded in the library budget.
Cookbook: After some discussion it was agreed to table the cookbook until next September. We will seek additional recipes and use the cookbook as a fundraiser next year.
Monthly friends meeting dates were established: December 16th, January 20th, and February 17th.
