LIBRARY'S WISH LIST The following Wish List for 2005/6" will be presented for approval at our October meeting. · New computers for the story stations and TumbleBooks, and wireless OPAC $3,500. Puppet stage for children to play with in the picture book area; specialized shelving $3,500. Language Lab renovations; furniture, equipment $2,500. Annual support for the Summer Reading Program $1,500. Annual support for the North Shore Writers' Festival $2,000 Daisy format players for taped books $1,600. TOTAL $14,600. As the bulk of our funds are locked in a term deposit until March 22, 2006, purchases and commitments will be phased in as the money becomes available. The priority items should be covered with our monthly revenue from the Book Cart sales and our recent book sale. The revenue generated through the book sales enables the Library to purchase extra items not in their regular budget. The "Wish List" is always approved by the Library Board prior to presentation to the Friends. Last year's approved Wish List included $6000 for the purchase of new computers. However, it has come to our attention that the Municipality has taken on this responsibility, therefore, freeing up this committed funding for other purposes. Reallocation of this funding was approved by the executive of the Friends for the following items: 60" Teak Bench St. George Style $1,415.98 3 Patio Sets $1,450.08 2 flare top receptacles $ 921.00
