The board approved a space use agreement between the AADL and the Friends of the AADL, a nonprofit that operates a used bookstore in the library to raise money for AADL. The board for the FAADL is expected to approve the one-year agreement at its meeting this Wednesday. It replaces a month-to-month agreement under which the Friends have been operating for more than two years. Margaret Leary, the board member who chairs a liaison committee to the Friends, said it’s a step in the right direction for solidifying relations between the two groups.
