Hello Fellow Librarians, Just a question, because I am curious... Our Friends of the Library Retale Market (used book sale) has seen a decrease in sales this year over last year. We have been doing a lot of construction projects, so we just assumed it was due to that. However, I am just wondering if other libraries have been experiencing the same. Maybe it has more to do with the economy (rising gas prices, groceries, etc.) and consumer cuts to discretionary spending. Have your Friends been experiencing similar trends? Ever curious, -Miriam [cid:e6847d88-b571-47c0-bc10-9cfaefb1c312] Miriam Andrus, MLS Director, Grace A. Dow Memorial Library 1710 W.
