**Chilton–promote more somehow?

**Makerspace–is there a way to promote more too?

**Paper prices have gone up.  Megan & Julie questioned if we needed to look into raising prices for copies?  After much discussion, we decided to keep it the same.

**Working on Summer Reading Program–would like to have sign ups again if possible.  Jackie Steffen will be coming this summer along with Nebraska Games & Parks.  May look into having Kelli Thelen help with the rest.

**Tshirts for Summer Reading Program–Peggy inquired if there were other options than sublimation.  Megan suggested the DTF transfers that can be custom made.  She will check with Tina Thelen to see if she has any suggestions.

**Emma Bermel–Peggy contacted her to see if she would be interested in re-painting sidewalk.
