        • biggest deterent will be the pricing.  The Friends Group is not sure there will be enough money for summer programs so this may not be a go this year.

        • TAB only event

    • idea is to put on a small play to be put on the children's program schedule (for kids ages 2-7)
    • looking at the fall (can't do early as we need time to prepare)
    • looking at set design, costume design, rehearsals, etc
    • Miss Renee will begin writing the script
  • Summer Reading Ad
    • summer theme: science
    • combination puppet and live action play
    • remember that it needs to be a short 2 min ad
    • possible script idea: a confused mad scientist who goes to the library to get some help
    • Miss Renee will begin writing script
  • New Teen Layout
    • this is still in the works
    • it will happen as soon as the library carpet is laid
    • plan to have seating area, computer area and of course all the ya materials will be moved to the new section.  Which will be located closer to the children's room - not in the children's room (where the music cds are currently located)
    • Reason for moving it closer to kids - the youth services librarian will be better able to help both age groups (which is part of her job) if the sections are closer together.  Plus YA will not be neglected having it closer to its supervising librarian.
  • Other
    • more TAB only events
      • possiblity of a movie theater trip for members only.
        • again this comes down to funding.  We could do this as a group with each paying their own way.
    • summer preview
      • discussion of some of the summer activities that are taking place for teens
      • looking for more TAB only events - we'll see if this year we can do that beach trip.
      • more discussion necessary
  • Next Meeting: March 19 @ 5:00
