· Endowment projects: We still need a liaison for the two projects.
YA Graphic Novels - Kimberly Hanford has collected the present novels in a separate area in the YA section, and has submitted a list of new purchases. She hopes to organize a reading challenge during spring and summer break.

· Two-Year-Old bags: 24 were purchased. We are tentatively scheduled to make them at the February Friends meeting.
· New Business: Linda Kingsley has proposed a once a week informal craft group, which she has volunteered to lead. She proposed fun, easy, stuff, e.g. Knitting hats for the Warm Winter project, crocheting, making envelopes. It will be held on Wednesday mornings.
Abbe has been offered a full time position at Palmyra Elementary. Nancy Wint volunteered to fill in as secretary.
· Library Quilt: Oooooooh. Aaaaaah. Everyone loved it! We will continue working on it. There was some discussion on having an adult program with a quilt display and speaker.
