Refer anyone interested in conducting a session to Polly. More children are involved from the K-3rd grades than the grades 4-6 group.

Website information: Ellie will add the library email address – moretown_mem@vols.state.vt.us and staff and volunteer names to the website. No telephone numbers.

Signage change: Maryina has revised the library warning notice to reflect the new meeting schedule. She will post all signs except for the Town Office which Tom will do.
