* There's a PA system here; are people interested in keeping it here as a loaner item?
Rachel -- Thinks it a fine idea.  We should check that it is a actual donation to Noisebridge.  No guarantees.  Although stuff
"Opens door to a lending library of things"
Steen -- lots of things are useful for different folks, there is a fine line when things are taken out of the space, for any reason.
Josh -- desire to keep the library as a purely REference Library
Christie -- 2 books are missing from the library
Micheal -- brought books back and borrowed them.. 
Josh -- Multiple copies are fine to remove borrow for temporary times, "its odd to have someone walk off with a shared resource"
Steen -- barcode/qcat isbn/ database would be fun to build
 
Mike K. -- the PA is large and shows a trend towards accepting many things that may push us or our use of the space out of it. 
 
Steen -- ensure these things are true permanent donations
 
Rachel keeping on
 
steen -Wire spooler might need to go away
josh -- wire spooler has been useful on several occasions -- Cat5 runs
