    1. SHARE Budget Prediscussion (Possible Action)

      The current "of interest" list for vendors and products collected from the SHARE membership consists of:

      Facilitation questions:

      1. Are there any other products or vendors of interest to the LAC?
      2. Are any vendor demos desired in advance of (or at) the April LAC meeting?
  8. Unfinished Business (None)
    1. System-Wide Puzzle Contest Update

      14 member libraries indicated interest in a system-wide contest as of February.

      Procedural suggestion (Ohs):

      1. Appoint a five-member planning team (PLLS liaison will be Steve Ohs).
      2. The planning team develops a collaborative project proposal, including a basic budget, timeline, and common set of rules for tournament participants.
      3. The planning team will present the proposal at a future LAC meeting for review and adoption.
      4. Member libraries may then individually opt-in to the program.
