b. There was no Library Board meeting on August 8 because of lack of a
quorum.
c. The WCCLS Citizens Advisory Board met August 9. Of interest: It

low-income elderly. Debbie Smith's application has been approved and she
will begin her service on September 18. Debbie is a recent graduate of
Lewis and Clark College.
