Librarians
Report:
GRRL
Report: Joan reported
that Verne O. is Chairman of the MLA Legislative Committee.
She feels that there is a great chance for more support for libraries.
If legislation passes, GRRL could net $495,00.
A regional services team is studying criteria on how new libraries may
enter the GRRL system, adding hours/staff or opening new libraries.
They will be looking at population density to help determine where a
library would be needed. Benton or
Sherburne counties look like they should have a new library.
They hope to have a readily understandable solution
