The library's invitation from the optimun Care Center: Mimi Marsh explained that the representatives of the optimum Care Center in iashpee had treated thea as very honored guests. They were hospitable, they were very caring. They were interested in the library representa- tives. Mimi suggested that the Library trustees_ should discuss doing something in, return for thein. Mimi suggested the possibility that the center would support a book cart for the library to take a day week. They were very desirous to become a part of the Mashpee community. Helene explained that the optimum Care Center had. invited the Chamber of Commerce people for lunch to introduce themselves to the people in the community, etc. The library personnel could not do lunch because f the library hours. So, the library was invited for breakfast which was l vely. They also presented the library personnel with little mugs with their names, and took thea fora tour of the facility. Where they saw where tine library could assist them, was perhaps w might have volunteers who would be willing to go over and read to some of the residents. Perhaps some of the residents could make, arrange- ments to borrow-materials from the library. They saw that perhaps there were things that they could do for the library. Helene had observed the size of their dining room was approximately three times the size of the library meeting room. Helene could see this being a positive possibility if the library should meed a larger space for a library function, i Mimi suggested that the library trustees :come up with some suggestions that we could do. in return for the Optimum Care Center, VII ADJOURNMENT: Having no further business before them, the meeting adjourned at 8:00 P, M.
