</div>#### Proposal summary

- We are proposing that each working group gets its own shelf in the library, to use to

    WG) or to simply use as storage.

Printing of groups' own palm cards may require a small amount of labor from groups or from the  
library stewardship committee.

and ideas and support them with organization.

### Proposal Description (and variations)

- We are proposing that each working group gets its own shelf in the library, to use to  
    display books, show off their personality (in an inviting way to bring in participants to their  
    WG) or to simply use as storage.
- One alternative idea is that groups may allow their items to be checked out like at a  
    library and can utilize library cards.
