Indeed, this is trickier than I realized at first. Not only are there a lot more people than for the staff and board members, but also in some cases it's not obvious how to determine which person is a Friends member. The Friends list does not have the library card numbers on it -- until now, it would have seemed pointless to have them there -- and in many cases it has people listed with different names than we have in the main library database (where the library card numbers are). So who's a friend and who's not could be hard to keep perfectly in sync.
