Library SubCommittee - redeux
Well, the first meeting with the Library Administration and Trustees was here.
Our second meeting where the SubCommittee members discussed (Doug, Kevin Hayes, and I; Bill Philips had another committment) what we had learned and decided on what we were going to do. Bob Kammarand, Katherine Dormody, and Polly Sanfacon.
Dale Dormody of the BudComm (but not officially on this SubCommittee)
