Approved
Is staff available for coverage?: 
Yes
Library budget available for this amount and for this target audience?:

Manager Comments: 
Both dates are good for the room, and the planned donation of crafted items is a really great way to Interreach! I approve, but you will need to do a separate PPC form for the July event, since this falls into the 2018 fiscal year. Good work!
