World Book Night Give-Away
Karen reported she has applied to the WorldBookNight.Org for books to be given away in our community. In filling out the application, Karen indicated there are folks/families who cannot afford to buy their own books, and this giveaway would encourage them to try buying, or at least visit our local library as well as present another opportunity for people to read and become more aware of the services our local library provides.
Dallas shared an article from the Minneapolis Star/Tribune on the fund-raising efforts of Washington County through the Library Partners organization. www.librarypartners.org.
Foster Grandparent Program
Marge indicated she had contacted the Waterville Elementary School and currently, their Foster Grandparent Program is adequately staffed. However, in the future, if they need help, FOL will be contacted.
Next meeting is scheduled for Friday, February 22 at 2:00 P.M. at the Library

Respectfully submitted,
