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: 
We have the money, but do we need security for the event since it's after hours? I know that we discussed this, but I do not believe that we determined if security will be needed or not. I'll need to check on that.... UPDATE: I communicated with Ed to let him know our need for security after hours on June 10th, and he seemed to be okay with it. I will now approve this program.
