New Parking Area: Nancy D. will talk to the IL State Library with questions. We discussed the possibility of having the Boy Scouts complete the parking area. We provide the supplies. They would provide the labor and we would make a $1000 donation to the Boy Scouts. It was noted that an asphalt parking area wouldn't be as maintenance free. A Library Board member is checking on estimates. We discussed asking the city for help.
