LIBRARIAN'S REPORT
The Librarian's report was read and accepted.
OLD BUSINESS
Tapestry. The librarian stated that he had received a tentative offer for purchase
of the tapestry. He stated that he felt he should continue his efforts to establish
the period during which the tapestry was made; that most of the people he had
consulted did not have sufficient knowledge to know whether this was a 15th, 16th
or early 17th Century tapestry, and that as the tapestry has certain peculiarities,
he would like to continue for a short time to try to establish its age. On a motion
by Lynes, seconded by Cohendet, it was moved that the librarian should try to obtain
the facts and figures in any way that he thought feasible.
COi3i dUNICATIONS
A card waas received from Ben Hechinger informing us of his whereabouts and the
happy time he was having on his vacation in Switzerland. He stated he would be back
the 31st.
NE1 BUSINESS
Library in Japan. Mr. DeMartini stated that he had visited the library of the city
of Osaka, and it was not much bigger than our own, and the circulation was only
about 2% more than ours. After a brief discussion, it was brought out that the
Japanese do not seem to use their libraries nearly as much as we do, but that
everyone had a T.V.
16th Amendment to the State Constitution. There was a brief discussion on the
"clean" amendment to the constitution, and the librarian stated that he had talked
to Mr. Schwalm who was going to contact other City Managers at the convention in
San Diego and try to find out what they were going to do in case the amendment
passed. He stated that Mr. Schwalm had attended a most illuminating address by
the City Attorney of San Diego on the subject, and all of those present felt that
the subject was of great importance and certainly would have a profound effect on
our library if it passes. Mrs. Cohendet stated that she did not feel this was the
case.
ADJOURIVENT
The meeting was adjourned on a motion by Mrs. Cohendet, seconded by Mr. Lynes.
Respectfully Submitted,
Geor6e Paul Lechich
Clerk of the Board

CIPMATIM
The circulation me uta 34% over the circulation of Octobers 1965a A very
iutemsting factor is the M% increase in the fiction category and the
Increase in children°s fiction circulation, Our interpretation of the adult increase
in fiction reading is that porhaM recreational reading is coming backs possibly
for the saw rens as in the last depression - it is veryira
cpertsivee
11r, the childronos fiction circulation cava only be interpreted in the grMt
Increase In the program activity, both outside'and in the library,* Most
children°s departments are losing circulation to the school library, rich has been
greatly UVrovedo It looks like good children"s librarians are still the best
promoters of readingo go have some of the Best,*

CHILDREN'S ROOMs
Business continues brisk in the Children's department of both libraries. Approxi-
mately SO children have been regularly attending the school age story hours, but
T$ children arrived for pre-school story hour last week, causing the children's
department to contemplate either holding two story hours or limiting attendance to
pre-registered children. A decision on which course to follow has been delayed
until after this week's story hour to see if as many children cam.
Mrse Dunn has been busy with class visits from Roosevelt School for instruction in
use of the library, in addition, she has been holding a regular monthly story hour
for children in the Presbyterian Nursery School, and she has a spacial evening program
for the parents of those children describing and showing good picture books for pre-
schoolers.
There is a special exhibit, its the Children's Room, commenorating National Cat
Week which has caused interest both in the local newspapers and among our patrons.
Respectfully su b4i tted,
George Paul Lechi ch
