[Nfbf-l] Newsline Committee

[Sherri]

I think your ideas are wonderful! The application is generated via Newsline. 
Not sure if we could add that question to it or not. I still do not 
understand how the library signs up people automatically. it seems to be a 
big mystery and the ones who know have since left. Lol! I will definitely do 
some research into this. Again, great ideas and I will talk with Al. I have 
been in contact with him.
