Happy New Year, everyone! I'm going to combine a few requests into one posting so as not to bomb your email so please pick out the one or two that you may be able to help with. Thank you in advance. 1. There must be more copies of *Before the Ballot by Chrastka and Sweeney* out there than are showing up on MeL. If you have one on your personal shelf would you mind loaning it to me on a longer-term basis so I can share it with my Board? 2. Please share your Friends' membership costs/levels. I'll be happy to compile responses for the group if there's interest. 3. If you have recently had a successful millage campaign are you willing to share your brochures, flyers, or other promotional material used to justify the need and explain on what the additional funds would be spent. We are beginning that process and would like to see what has been persuasive elsewhere. 4. Lastly, does anyone offer Qello to patrons? What's been your experience? Thank you very much for your time, attention, and help. Rudy C. Wright Library Director Indian River Area Library 3546 S. Straits Hwy. P.O.
