Manager Input
Manager's Decision: 
Approved
Is staff available for coverage?: 
Yes
Library budget available for this amount and for this target audience?: 
Yes
Manager Comments: 
Becky's Open Studio Sundays is on the same date, from 2 PM to 4 PM, so this would double-book. Also, do you really mean to have a program go from 2 PM to 9 PM on Sunday? UPDATE: After speaking with Amy, who explained that Builder's Club was meant to run concurrent with Becky's Open Studio Sundays event on 9/11/16. In light of this, I approve this program. Please fix the time.
