1. New students and Follett. Is the sync working correctly?
2. I was relieved to see that there is a stay in the ruling concerning lead in books published prior to 1985.

3. Summer Reading
I would like to update the list of recommended authors to include in our summer reading newsletter.

5. NSLS is moving to 1 Merrick Ave.
