Drop box - needs roof and location.
Was discussed.  We will need carpentry help to add a roof and speak to selectboard about placement.  Details to be discussed at next meeting.

New Business

Marion will contact volunteer Peter Hike to help set up first computer.  We need to work with Town office regarding internet connection.

Was discussed.  It was decided we will 1. Pile books by category (Picture books- both fiction & non-fiction, New readers, Junior Fiction, Young Adult Fiction, Jr & YA Non-fiction will be together, adult fiction, adult non-fiction, Biography, Poetry, and Vermont). 2. Books will be shelved by category  3. Books will be cataloged, each cataloged book will get a NEW spine tag that will show that it has been entered on the computer and be color coded by shelving area.

-Set Opening Date
January 8th was chosen as an opening date.  We will open even though shelving and cataloging will not be complete.  There will be a casual work session on Dec. 13th during the gingerbread program to prep our space for the program on the 23rd.

Posters and school newsletters are being used.  We would like to find a contact for the Stockbridge elementary school.  Eunice is working on that.  The importance of word of mouth was discussed.

Debit Card
It was decided that we will not get a debit card, but will set up petty cash for craft and snack type expenses once we open.  Eunice will get a lock box.

Park House directory AD.
Was purchased for this year.  We will revisit next year to see if the expense makes sense.
