UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
Preliminary sketches of possible building expansion: Mrs. Bergsing
wanted the record to show that the preliminary sketches had been done
by Jim Kaufman and Judy Gladysz. She explained the measurements and
intent of the sketches which are rough drafts, are to give an idea of
the areas that provide a possibility for expansion.
Trustee Harvey said he had come up with some rough figures and
that it would cost approximately $216,000 to add 1 ,500 square feet
behind the Reference Office area whereas it would cost approximately
$173,000 to add 1 ,260 square feet in the Duncan Annex. He said the
prices vary, depending on where the addition is made. He had estimated
the costs based on per square foot figures that had been developed for
another local library construction project . Trustee Harvey had made
additional drawings to explain some other options. These were discussed
and different ideas were exchanged. The matter was tabled until
October for further discussion, after the State Library Workshop on
Library Buildings which Librarian Bergsing and Assistant Librarian
Escoffier will be attending.
NEW BUSINESS=
Book in memory of Charlotte Johnson: Mrs. Bergsing had brought a
book that the Board members might be interested in selecting as a
memorial gift . However, after discussion they chose to continue
looking for an appropriate book.
Historic Photographs of Burlingame: Librarian Bergsing said the
historical pictures had been hung in the back hallway and made a very
attractive display. She told the Board members who hadn't seen them
