Library Committee Moves Quickly

If you saw Sheryl Barnes this week you could see she was a woman with a mission, and a deadline. Sheryl and her husband Lin are longtime seasonal residents and she was working hard to get all her Eagleview Community Library tasks done before leaving today to visit grandchildren, then pressing on to Colorado. In a very short time Sheryl was able to line up donations from Stokes printing for book cards and bookmarks and Home Depot for shelving lumber. She even charmed a donation of labor out of her favorite carpenter for building bookcases, (name withheld to protect him from pleas for more free work.) Check back in late May when we'll have a blog entry posted with pictures.

The rest of the library committee hasn't been sitting still either. They've solicited books and cash donations, written press releases, contacted other small community libraries for advice and assistance, and combed the Internet for library grants opportunities. Committee Chair Connie Vessy will make a full report of their exciting progress at the November 2nd ECF meeting. We'll get our usual monthly reports done early (6:00-6:30), then spend the rest of the evening working on a charter school budget.
