REPORTS•
Librarian's Report:
Librarian Bergsing reported that Cynthia Ripley is still working on
the plans for remodeling the Library. One option is to tear down the back
portion of the Duncan Building, go down one story, and add a third for a
total of three stories. Then the library could be connected and it would
add much needed space. Mrs . Bergsing said the study is taking more time
than anticipated because Ms. Ripley is trying to keep the costs down and
still meet all the seismic and ADA requirements and maintain the aesthetic
appeal of the Library.
