There are 2 things coming up this month that I'd like you to be aware of:

1. We are having our STAB meeting on Sept. 9 from 4-6. I would REALLY appreciate it if you could come since a couple of my colleagues will be there and you guys always make me look good. Thanks in advance. This will also give you the opportunity to ask Angie, the YA Selector from Service Center, about what we are buying and choosing for the system. Also, let me know what pizza you would like. Or should we try something other than pizza this month? I'll need more than just one person to say yes, and I'll need some good suggestions for alternatives if we are to attempt this curious experiment.

2. I could really use your help and so could the Friends of the Library. Starting Sept. 17 the Friends will be gearing up for the annual book sale. If you can help out, which I really hope you can, they will be working Wednesday Night and Thursday Night on set-up. They will be tearing down on Sunday. If you want to help, let me know. For those that do help out, the Friends have informed me that you will either get a discount or first pick on the books. Or both. I can't remember which. Also, remember, this is where the money for stuff like our monthly pizza comes from. This would be a great way to say "Thank you" to the Friends for their generosity. Let me know if you can make or if you think you can. Thanks.
