Hi. I went to a Big Read meeting today with librarians from all of the libraries, except La Grange Park. We discussed final details of this year’s programs. The libraries also got their brochures (I had gotten our early) and our posters.
We discussed the Big Read website, which I am managing for the group. I will be adding a chart of mileage between libraries, a map showing library locations, and more website links. On the weekend, I will add the event schedule and book discussion schedule. Carol from Downers Grove will be sending me weekly announcements to post.
Elizabeth Berg is speaking for free, so we will only owe $67.50 for our share of renting Ashton Place for the event. We will also get bills for our share of the brochures and posters and a few other incidentals. The $750 from the Western Springs Library Friends will probably cover these costs, as well as our books.
The Elizabeth Berg presentation will be May 8. We will distribute tickets the same way as before.
