' ReyodLLconfin � Chip asked how many Dan Brown books gent to Mashpee residents. Kathy explained that since pick-up location in CLAMS is what determines who gets the book, if a non-resident chooses Mashpee as their pick-up location that counts as"'Mashpee"so we really can't say how many residents were recipients. Mary LeClair asked how tomorrow's Dan Brown event at the Library was publicized. Kathy said notices were posted and it was written up in the Library column in the Enterprise. Kathy said she is working on strengthening PR for the Library. She said she is also working with Lynne Waterman, director of the Council on Aging,to develop programs and ideas for targeting audiences and Lynne offered to help publicize Library events, Chip said the Friends recruited Grace Talmadge to do publicity for the Friends and if that goes well we might be able to talk with Grace regarding publicity for the Library.
