If so, how do you answer? 11:01:13 [Janet Reynolds] our board isn't on board with the "fluff" and we keep telling them our population is moving from Johnson Co. and expecting these services 11:01:31 [Mike Marlin] Our brown bags have been highly successful in utilizing staff subject expertise, e.g. side trips in Arizona, how to search Ebay, etc. 11:01:50 [Tricia] Plus all of these programs directly relate to books & other materials we collect. 11:01:53 [Jamie Kelley] The library is no longer just about books, it is a community center 11:02:08 [Janet Reynolds] We are in building project and we have kept insisting that the community room is a necessary expense 11:02:21 [Janet Reynolds] so we can do programming 11:02:23 [Janet Otto] Our administrator and library board are supporters of programming - both for children and adults. 11:02:50 [Laura Gould] We agree we will be moving to a new library next spring with a big community room 11:02:51 [Tricia] I don't know any library with a large space/auditorium that regrets making that choice- those spaces are used constantly. 11:03:10 [Janet Reynolds] where are you located Laura & Tricia 11:03:14 Angela has left the session 11:03:16 Katherine has left the session 11:03:25 [Laura Gould] michigan 11:03:29 Library4Life has left the session 11:03:37 Jamie Markus has left the session 11:03:44 [Paula Newbury] Please post this chat! 11:03:53 [Janet Reynolds] i could use some contact info so i can show board 11:03:54 Linda Knupp has left the session 11:03:54 [Paula Newbury] Thank-you!! 11:03:56 [Jamie Kelley] Thank you:) I really enjoyed this 11:03:59 [Andi] Thank you! 11:04:00 [Paula Teixeira] thank you 11:04:05 [Janet Reynolds] thanks 11:04:06 [marynmrls.org] Thank you. 11:04:06 [alex] Thank you!
