Beth Barrett reported that the Library had created a book tree in the lobby, which Commission members admired. Children’s program attendance is up dramatically this year, going from 300 last year to 1400 for the same month this year. The City has been working on an IT Strategic Plan which includes plans to address problems with the Museum’s connectivity to City server. Currently it is very difficult to connect from the Museum to the server due to slow connection speed and intermittent connectivity failure. B. Report from the Museum Coordinator.
