April 4
#4 Rebinding project Sharon suggested that perhaps some part-time staff could assist with identifying books in need of rebinding: Michele spoke with Ann Naese and she has gathered some casual staff who have created a print-out of all NA books and are going through this section looking at each book to review whether or not they need to be rebound and the type of binding needed. There is also a list for UMD, which Michele will review. Betty suggested that a report could be created of all "damaged" books in the annex, by call number. Michele will check with Ann to see if she can produce this report.
#5 Michele has given Ruth a list of titles.
