Greetings from the Director, Sharon St. Hilaire:

               LET'S PLAY JEOPARDY



  **** ANSWER:::: From 3.3 million items to 90,000 items!!!!



QUESTION: WHAT is the impact of not maintaining Seekonk Public Library's
state certification and grants for FY06? 

Other libraries in our network of 3.3 million items will not be required to
loan their materials to Seekonk residents because Seekonk would not be 
meeting the minimum standards. Seekonk residents would only be able to 
borrow the 90,000 items in our library.


Last year Seekonk's users borrowed 25,211 items from other libraries.
