PUBLIC RELATIONS The Library Board and the Library Foundation are planning to co-ordinate their PR images and invite the Friends to be part of this initiative. I think this would be good for us and assume we can discuss this also on November 25th. BOOKMOBILE I am sure many of you have now had a chance to look at this handsome vehicle, very roomy and light inside and smart outside. Painted on one corner at the back is the recognition of our support: "Generously supported by the Friends of the Library." and in our sort of lettering too! LIBRARY SURVEY Patrons were asked to answer a questionnaire while visiting the Library on November 3rd and 7th. I heard from one board member that the general response was very favourable. WHY BOOKS ARE BETTER THAN DRUGS 1. Books are available in a clean, well-lit library. 2. No one ever had to check into the Betty Ford Clinic for reading too much. 3. Books allow you to enter into other realities and visit other worlds - and then come back again. 4. Nobody ever read too many books and then jumped off a building, walked through a plate-glass window, or mooned a cop. 5. You don't have to flush all your books down the toilet when there's an unexpected knock at your door. 6. It is extremely rare that anyone gets gunned to death in a book dispute. 7. Your friends won't desert you when you run out of books. 8. Dogs don't slobber all over your luggage at the airport sniffing for books. 9. You can proudly display books on your coffee table.
