and the winning concoction was a drink, "Swamp Water With Bugs"
a book. Penny and Teri decorated the library in accordance with
(i.e. raisins). We have the recipes, and hope to compile them in
the program's food theme. Special thanks to Penny's son, Timm,
who painted the picnic table and created the huge Coke can. Timm
also helped on opening day of the summer program, as did Teri's
boys.
Charlene Lenzen and her son, Matt, have been shifting the

We have been especially grateful for these helpers this summer
because the promised YEP and "fan-belt" help has not materialized,
though we have been informed that a YEP student will begin later
this week.
Interlibrary loan and WISCAT searching meetings were held this
month.
In September, 1988, a child kas injured in the children's area.
The mother feels he fell off the readers' roost, though that is
not clear. An insurance arbitration hearing was held, and the
arbitrator ruled in the city's favor. I am expecting a letter
from the lawyer for the city who will be recommending that the
roost be modified so that it cannot be climbed on, to protect the
city from liability in any future incidents.
