COMMUNICATIONS: None. OLD BUSINESS: Building Program: The Librarian stated that he had discussed with Miss Margaret 'lard, State Library Consultant, various aspects of the proposed building program. He stated that she brought a good sampling of the various Library Programs and lists of both Library Building Consultants and Architects who had constructed libraries. A number of local con- sultants were discussed. The Librarian stated that he had talked with several of the local libraries who have had buildings constructed, and arrived at a tentative list - Bernard Van Horne, Coite College and Henderson, with the possibility of Margaret Troke. The State had made arrangements for Mr. College to come down and look over the situation and Mr. Van Horne would also stop by to see if he would be interested. He said he would contact Mr. Henderson and Mrs. Troke as soon as possible. The Board requested the librarian to ask those interested to submit proposals which could be submitted to the City Countil. Gift Book Sale: The Librarian said Mr. Duncan would try to have space for the book sale in January.

Mrs. Bergsing vent to the Peninsula Library Association renting. There was some mention of possible cooperation with the San Francisco Public library plus the usual discussion on local problems. Building Programa The Librarian met with prospective library consultants, two of whom indicated an Interest in submitting a proposal . One architect, on reading the notice in the Pacific Builder, also called. CHILDREN'S ROOM: Perhaps the most interesting development is that Airs. Powell secured by phone from Mr. Chappelle an unofficial report on the progress of the plan for school visits to and from the library (see notes of November meeting.) According to Mr. Chappelle, a questionnaire was sent to all teachers and their responses were largely enthusiastic. As soon as Mr. Chappelle and the chairman of the curriculum committee have time to compile the results, the questionnaires will be turned over to us so that we can profit by the suggestions made by individual teachers. The overall plan that will presumably be recon ended to school authorities will be to bring all 4th. grade children to the library for a visit in the fall, and all 1st graders in late spring. The librarians would then plan to visit all 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 6th graders. At the fvm-,,.nt, Mr. Chappelle feels that the problems of the Intermediate School are more complex, and that no regular plan for them should be attempted at this time. While we are regretful about this, it seems to us miser to accept this beginning program and get it into action than to argue about the Intermediate School now. Perhaps in the future a need can be demonstrated for more service there. The Children's Room is very attractively decorated for the month of January with original drawings by Kathy Gasser to illustrate poems about winter and snow. Mrs. white has a charming winter scene in the exhibit case to accompany the exhibit. Pre-school story hours were resumed at both Easton Branch and the Main Library the week of January 9th. Attendance was good. General use of the Main Children's Room has been going through its seasonal slump, but appears to be picking up again. Plans are going ahead a;;s a tar the Sumer Reading Club. A local artist, Mrs. O'Dell, and Mrs. Virginia Collins of the S.P.C.A. are working with the childrens' librarians to develop what sounds like are unusually appealing program whosa them will be related to animals. Mrs. Egan hes been presentat the meetings and will resume her full-time position on February lst.
