The Board of Trustees for the Marlow Town Library met on November 6, 2006 at 7 PM. 

Present at the Library were: Jeanne Kennedy, Chair; Donna Chase, Treasurer; Jan Lane, Secretary; Johanna Kent, Art Director; Alice Scharf, and Librarian Pat Strickland.

Secretary’s Report:

The minutes of the previous meeting, September 1, 2006, were read. (The meeting for October had been canceled). After some discussion, it was decided that the trustees had not vetoed with finality the housing of the Pre School Lending Library. It was decided that the Library will set up a temporary display to promote the Pre School Lending Library for the school. With this correction (to New Business #6), Jeanne Kennedy moved that the minutes be accepted into the record. Donna Chase seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
