OLD BUSINESS Children's Librarian The Librarian stated that as there have been no
qualified applicants for the position of Children's Librarian, Airs. Powell has agreed
to be available as a consultant at 1/3 time. He stated that after considerable discussion
with Mrs. Powell and Mrs. Bergsing, it was decided that the employment of a new graduate
as a Librarian I (Junior Librarian) would serve our purposes, along with the consultive
services of Mrs. Powell. Mrs. Powell would attend various community meetings, the PTA
and other groups; supervise the activity of the Children's Room; and make available her
extensive knowledge in story-telling and other related fields. The Librarian stated that
he felt that this would be an excellent idea as there are not many people of her caliber
available, and he felt that her enthusiasm would result in considerable more than 1/3 time
being devoted to the Library. On a motion by Mr. Moody, seconded by Mr. Lynes, the
Librarian was authorized to employ Mrs. Powell as consultant to the Children's Department
at 1/3 time, to begin in the fall of 1965•
Library Extension The Librarian stated that he had several talks with Colonel Norberg in
regard to a plan for expanding the floor area of the Library. He stated that by the
next meeting he would have a written program for study by the Board.
