MINUTES The minutes of the meeting of October 20, 1965 were read and approved. Mrs. Cohendet stated that she had requested that she be excused from the meeting of October 20th as she would be out of the country and had notified the Librarian. BILLS On a motion by Trustee DeMartini, seconded by Trustee Cohendet, bills in the amount of $3,539.54 were ordered paid. LIBRARIAN'S REPORT The Librarian's report was read and approved. MONTHLY FINANCIAL STATEMENT The monthly financial statement was read and placed on file. NE4 BUSINESS Talks by the Heads of the Local Libraries. The Librarian reported on a possible library system composed of the local municipalities, excluding the county. He stated that it would be so designed as to meet the minimum requirements of the State and would allow complete home rule. There would be no changes in the present procedure except books could be borrowed and returned at any system library. The funds derived from the per-capita grant of 8¢ would be used to adjust any inequalities in use (this would allow for our loss of non-resident fees and possibly amount to a greater sum than received from this source at present). There would be no administrative head and few if any salaries paid from monies received. There would be a founding grant of $20,000 over a two year period to each library. By belonging to a system, would allow the libraries to participate in 33-1/3% grant of building funds by the Federal Government. Fie said our library could withdraw at any time. He stated that the talks were only exploratory. Help with Library Book Sale. On a motion by Trustee Moody, seconded by Trustee Cohendet, the Librarian was instructed to write a letter of appreciation to the local Lions' Ladies for their help with the library sale of discarded book gifts. Coov Machine. The Librarian explained that he had looked at the coin operated Dennison Copier which produces dry, black and white electrostatic copies. He felt that by purchasing such a machine that the library would be able to pay for it, through receipts, in about a year. The copies submitted are far superior to the present machine which reverses the colors, black being white and white is black. The present machine brings in to the company that owns it about $125.00 per month. He stated that he believed that the Dennison machine would show an increase as the copies are not only better, but, that with a ten cent fee, the patrons (mostly young people) would use the copier a great deal more than at present. He stated that, of course, the real reason for the use of a copier is to avoid mutilation of library books and magazines and is only secondary to accommodating the public. The BoArd expressed interest and instructed the Librarian to pursue the subject. Story Hour Room at the Branch. The Librarian stated, as shown in the Librarian's Report, that the Branch Lions Den at the Branch is entirely inadequate for the large number of children that attend the story hours. He stated that it would be possible to remodel at the Branch - the dressing room behind the stage - for about $400, by removing two partitions. The cost of $400 would be derived from the mainten- ance funds (he said we would be unable to refinish three tables if the money was so used). He stated that the books and magazines now kept in these rooms could be kept along the wall of the present stage partition. On a motion by Trustee Moody, seconded by Trustee DeMartini, the Librarian was authorized to proceed with the changes. Postage Meter. The Librarian spoke of the use of a new type of postage meter that could be rented for about $6.50 a month. He said that he felt that the time saved in handling stamps would offset the cost. He was instructed to investigate further and to have on hand one of the machines at the next Board meeting. Mr. Hechineer. The Board expressed the wish that the health of Trustee Hechinger would continue to improve. They instructed the Librarian to send a card. ADJOURWENT The meeting adjourned on a motion by Trustee DeMartini, seconded by Trustee Moody.
