MINUTES: Minutes of the meeting of April 17, 1973, were approved as mailed. LIBRARIAN'S REPORT: The Librarian was asked what make-up air meant. The Librarian stated that make-up air was fresh air from outside of the building being incorporated through the heating-cooling system in order to allow for the air displacement by the exhausters. The Branch was discussed. The Librarian stated that some of the reference materials could be removed from the Branch since most students use the Main for their reference materials, and more popular reading materials could be placed at the Branch, which would increase circulation.

OLD BUSINESS: Non Resident Fees: It was moved by Trustee DeMartini, seconded by Trustee Lynes, and carried by those trustees present, that the non-resident fee be increased to $34.00, at the same time the San Mateo Public Library increases theirs. Trustee Cohendet suggested that the reasons for the increase should be publicized. The Librarian stated that perhaps Mrs. Lathem, who will be publishing a Burlingame newsletter could do so. NEW BUSINESS: Trustee DeMartini stated he would be in Hawaii at the time of next Board meeting celebrating the graduation of two of his daughters. ADJOURNMENT: Trustee Lynes moved that the meeting be adjourned in memory of Jack Charnow; motion was seconded by Trustee DeMartini and carried at 8:05 p.m. Respectfully Submitted, �� George Paul Lechich Clerk of the Board
