• Teen Newsletter
• do we still want to publish - yes
• new layout - making it a single page double sided
• front side will contain the feature article, new to the shelf, book talk, fun & games, and maybe a bit more if it fits.  The back side will be the list of the events for each season (3 months worth).
• prefer this to the large library newsletter - we want to find our stuff quickly and not have to look though all the other stuff
• idea - could we make the fun & games section a challenge so that if you complete it and bring it in you can get a prize?  Could but all the prizes might be a problem financially but we'll look into it.
• Next Meeting - August 20 @ 5:00
