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 number of registered Patrons has reached 16,881 , which is the largest numberwe.
have ave.- 6)ad. 7t in; 390 ;ivre t-han the previou-; August,
in llnwith the report an populc-ition by Spangle,, it is interesting to note that 249
lezz children registerel at the end of August, whereas there ware 639 more adults.
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.
The F+ntter 3 i11 he thLoroughly discussed at tne C.L.A. Convention in 3z;4kertfleld in
