Director's Report
Mrs. Garcia reported that staff from Engineering Department and Development Services will
meet next week with board members and other interested parties to interpret the Greenwood
Library Structural Assessment Report. Members were asked to please let Sylvia Sanchez know
if they will be present because an agenda would need to be posted if five or more members of the
Library Board will be present. Members agreed to schedule the meeting next week, Monday or
Tuesday at 10:00 a.m.

project -- in the early 90s. The LINK project started the library and local schools working
together. SCANNED
