Marketing will continue to advertise through different media outlets. Meaghan is currently working with Rachel Kopchick to involve other school districts.

Summer Volunteer Wrap-up w/ Heidi Port @ 1:50 pm

Heidi discussed the Summer Volunteer survey questions & answers. About 70% of volunteers felt they learned to always give great customer service. Overall the summer volunteers had a great summer at the libraries.  A few programmers stated that they did not have many volunteers and would definitely need more for the upcoming year, while others stated they had too many volunteers at their library. Heidi will work on a plan for the next season.
