Summary of the August Meeting

Hi Everyone,

I hope everyone had a good first day back.
I just wanted to post some of the info from the last meeting for those of you that were not there...
First off, Lana from our Milliken Mills branch attended to observe how the group runs, get some input etc. (she's starting at TAG at the Milliken Mills location). If you know anyone in the Milliken Mills area that may wish to join, please let me know and I'll pass their names on to Lana. However, since we are recruiting too...
Since we are in the process of planning the content for a teen page on the website, the main project the group worked on last week was to review a series of library websites to provide some feedback on useful features, design ideas and content. Thanks so much for you great input! I'm still compiling a list of recommendations that you provided, and once I'm done, I'll post them on this blog. If anyone who was not at the meeting last week wants to add their comments, list of sites we looked at for ideas is at the bottom of this post. Also, if there are any other sites that you especially like (even if they are not library-related) please let me know. We'll continue to work on this for the weeks to come, so keep the suggestions coming!
