BILLS: On a motion by Trustee Cohendet, seconded by Trustee Lynes and carried, bills in the amount of $3,109.22 were ordered paid. LIBRARIAN'S REPORT The Librarian's report was read and discussed. Trustee Lynes asked the Librarian if he felt that those libraries participating in systems were satisfied with their present status. The Librarian stated that there was a seeming agreement that the libraries were better off belonging to a system than not. He also stated that most of those present were, of necessity, systems people. The Librarian mentioned the facsimile program being conducted by the San Francisco City Library and the North Bay Cooperative Library System which covers most of the libraries in Marin, Mendecino and Sonoma Counties. This is an experimental program paid for by foundation funds and will test the efficiency and costs of such a program, which makes available immediately from the San Francisco Public copies of statistics, papers, or whatever is needed. He stated that he had spoken to the Assistant Librarian at San Francisco about the project, and the possibility of its extension to other libraries. Mr. Martell said that he would look into the possibilities and expressed a wish to visit our library at a near date. There was some discussion of the pros and cons of a local municipal system, which has so far never gotten off the ground due to each library's worrying about its independence and its own needs. The Librarian said that he felt that we had little to gain as yet, although probably with time this would change and that any study being made of our library in the future would have to take some type of library cooperation more meaningful than we now have into consideration. OLD BUSINESS: Planning Program; The latter part of the report concerning the building program and the City Council 's actions was discussed. The Librarian stated that the August 7, 1967 minutes of the City Council meeting included some statements that were not written into the Librarian's report. The Librarian noted that the Council 's conclusions were essentially the same as those on Page 3 of the Annual Capital Improvement Study relating to'the library addition, revised in 1967. He mentioned that the master plan being developed by Spangler and Associates would be of the greatest use in our study of the future Library program. He stated that he had spoken to Mr. Spangler and that part of Stage I, Population Analysis and Projections, Economy Analysis of Trends and Prospects, Reconnaissance Study and Reports, would soon be out. He read parts of the proposed planning program concerning the scope of the program. Those present agreed that the study at this time was very propitious; and as Mr. Spangler had prepared the local study on systems, he was quite knowledgable concerning libraries and their needs. It was agreed that an outline of our basic :cshilosophy, immediate need and future needs should be prepared for a study meeting in preparation for a joint meeting with the City Council on October 17, 1967. The date of the study meeting will be October 11, 1967. ADJOURNMENT: On a motion •by Trustee Cohendet, seconded by Trustee Lynes, the meeting was adjourned.

The high point in children's registration occurred in January, 1965 with over 3,5k2 children registered, witereas now there are 3,135. However, these children read .3%, mors hooka than did those in 1965.. The higher registt &Von was mz"d possible by an active school visitation program which we zre going to reactivate this fall. Wi`*n t `era Is a difference of over 407 children, or 13%p it is very obvious t1hat school visitations are "st important. NEUTUGS ATTENDED T'ha Librarian attended one city council mmatlng and, accompanied by Trustee Guthrie, ons PLECC vleeting. The program of Ill.-ho Public Library Executivs5 of Central California concerned itself with a panel discussion of he reorganization of the California Library Association. It see ed that the consensus of those presennr was that the sections should be maintaineri; and that the dues structure should not be changed too radically. Mr. Callahan, Trustee from San Francisco, spoke with vigor in favor of the present setufp, stating that there would be no distinctive place for trustees la the proposed plan. He noted that the. dues changes would result in an increase of from "'.')7.50 to $25-00 Per trustas, w�hich he said wcs too much for a lay member.
