BILLS: On a motion by Mrs. Cohendet, seconded by Mr. Guthrie, bills in the amount of $7,538.50 were ordered paid. LIBRARIAN'S REPORT: The Librarian's report was read and accepted. COMMUNICATIONS: A letter was read from Mary A. Danforth, editor of Lock and Key, a Schlage Lock Company publication, expressing her appreciation for a letter from Mr. Finney concerning an issue of the publication which was devoted to the history of Visitation Valley. Her letter stated, in part, "The Burlingame Public Library was one of my sources for background material about the Visitation Valley area. Accordingly, I personally delivered a couple of copies of our publication to one of your librarians the day it was off the press. However, it would be no surprise if you cannot locate it. I had a rugged time following up references in your jam-packed Californiana department. Here's hoping some day you will have adequate space for this fine collection!" The Librarian noted that the shelving to be purchased this summer for the Story Hour Room would house this collection in one unit, which is now separated part of the time in the Librarian's office. He stated many books of the California collection are now worth $25 - $30 apiece; some of them as much as $150 - $200. A letter was read from Mrs. Thomas McCombe, expressing her appreciation for the opportunity to show her paintings at the Burlingame Library, both in the Easton Branch and at the Main Library. OLD BUSINESS As announced on the call for the meeting it was moved by Guthrie and seconded by Mrs. Cohendet the bylaws be amended to read: "ARTICLE IV, Section 1 : The regular meetings of the Board of Library Trustees shall be held on the third Tuesday of each month . . . . . . . . ." Motion was carried. On a motion by Guthrie, seconded by Mrs. Cohendet, the July meeting only will be changed to Thursday, July 20. Building Program Planning Commission - The Librarian stated that there has been some discussion at the Planning Commission concerning the addition to the Library, and that he had heard that an extensive building program was not feasible at this time. Mr. Guthrie stated that he had heard the same report. Mr. Hechinger stated that he felt that we had failed to present our case and Mrs. Cohendet agreed. The Librarian said he felt that the addition to the Children's Room would conform with the design of the building and would in no way be an unnecessary area, no matter how future expansion plans were made. Mr. Hechinger and Mr. Guthrie both stated that they felt that the working conditions in the workroom were almost intolerable, and both wondered why people stayed here. It was agreed that at the next planning commission meeting those members of the Library Board who could be present would do so, and that photographs and plans might be presented if we were called upon. Assembly Bills 2328 and 2095 Due to the many protests from all over the state, these bills concerned with the transfer of the Library Board's authority were dropped. ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned upon a motion by Mr. Guthrie seconded by Mrs. Cohendet. Due to the absence of President De Martini, Secretary Hechinger was President pro tem. ^R�e c"lly tted, e Pa�I L eoyge p uLechich, Clerk of the Board REPORT JULY 20: 1967 r,'LE-MKCS ATT-1,1EV attewded al I general sessiciis of the X.L.A. and the maet-Ings of the council -d.-Ld gameral mamhsrslhip as well as z neral others such as the once or, i-a ' 'hfstory 1,-7ts place ir.
