2009 Membership Drive
We are well under way in our 09’ membership drive, but are not there yet. As of now we are at 74.90% of our membership goal. If there is an asterisk beside your name on the mailing label, that means we have not received your 09 membership yet. Your continued support will ensure that Nicky has the resources to maintain the current level of services our library provides to our community.

Expansion Fund
At our March meeting, a motion was approved to go ahead and allocate $2000.00 to increase our expansion fund to a total of $4555.24. Since a large portion of our year-end disbursements from the past two years has been going into the expansion fund anyway; we decided to go ahead and invest the funds now to 1.) Lock in the funds before rates get any lower, and 2.) go ahead and start earning interest now instead of 3 months down the road. As it stands our expansion consist of a CD at Signature Bank earning 3.50% with a current balance of $2555.24 and a maturity date of September 26, 09. The new account at Library Bank is earning 3.25% and a maturity date of November 2009.
