Minutes: Corrections were made to the February Minutes as follows: CD account should be $9,123.58 instead of $1,123.58. Kent moved and Lemcke seconded and corrected minutes were approved.

Karen Webb reported on Treasurer's report: Balance $14,851.40, CDs - $9,123.58, Book Sale - $1,374.25. Lemcke moved and Dias seconded and report was approved.

Ed Lemcke made following comments on an expansion of the library and eventually building a new library in the future. Agreeing to an expansion is too dangerous and will stop new library plans. Ashland and Cherryland will be giving money for the redevelopment. Hillcrest Knolls and Fairmont Terrace people should be asked if they are interested in donating to redevelopment fund.

Because of the closure, the membership meeting will not be held in April and will be rescheduled. However, a regular Board Meeting will be held on April 26th with the location to be determined.

Respectfully submitted,

Marilyne Dias
