IV. Staff Report: Mary Jane was out last week.
Meg Lojek is doing great and should be receiving her raise.
Arlis's brother is sick with terminal cancer.
Becky got a new car.
Anne's time allocation was discussed at length. She is finding her time is
spent on districting issues and city issues and she doesn't have much time
for automation. Both computers were freezing up. David Simmonds has
been spending a lot of time helping.
V Budget and stats: Handouts. Donations and $1200 in nonresident fees

awaiting Susie's signature. There is a large discrepancy between
books checked out as recorded by former librarian, Gloria (75,000)
versus Anne's statistics (35,000).

Donnelly February 17 at the Bible Church, to help relieve Anne from doing so
much.
