LIBRARY NEWS
Jodi Bailey continued to work with the Village Administrator & the neighboring property owner to get the Library's outdoor area re-graded & paved.  Furniture for the outdoor area was purchased with funds to be reimbursed by the Village's "Routes to Recovery" grant.  Jodi is currently working with General Engineering on the American Library Assoc. (ALA) grant "Libraries Transforming Communities" in hopes to obtain some funding toward improvement of the Library's outdoor area.  We continued offering Curbside Service in October.  There were 26 Curbside pick-up appointments scheduled by patrons from 10/01 to 10/30.
