Prioritization of "To Do List".
Marsha reported that Laser Card production is in the
works on the existing computer but cannot be completed
until the printer is repaired.
Lynn stated that we should go ahead with our Focus
Groups, in light of the Vision and Mission Statements
that have been developed. The Focus Groups should look
at:
1. What are the opportunities and what are the problems
with the library.
2. What are the positive things about the library.
The Focus Groups suggested are Senior Citizens, Students,
Educators, and General Users. Twelve to eighteen
citizens from each group should be invited. Board
members should bring a list of names for each group to
the next board meeting. Meetings should be held in the
library if possible, in early December. Liz and Marsha
will prepare packets for the meetings.

on the status of the Citizen's Committee on community
facilities and the seat set aside for an EPL Board
member.
