They have been getting the <br />word out to schools through outreach programs; Robbie will email Ivan <br />Sands information on the contest. Because it is time for GRRL to reorder <br />library cards, and they found a new printer at a lower cost, there will be <br />no significant new cost to produce new library cards through this contest <br />but great benefit in that it will bring more awareness to awareness to local <br />libraries. <br /> <br /> Robbie will present her annual report to city council on April 16th, her <br />report will include statistics on the library’s busyness. <br /> <br /> On March 13th Karen Pundsack, GRRL Executive Director, met with <br />Sherburne County Commissioners.
