LIBRARIAN'S REPORT The Librarian's report was read and accepted.
MONTHLY FINANCIAL STATEMENT The financial statement was approved and placed on file.
OLD BUSINESS -Library Borrowers' Survey. The Librarian reported the survey forms were being
filled out enthusiastically by the patrons. Over 200 have been filled out in
a short time. The data is being compiled as they are being received. Those at hand suggest
that over half of the adults who use the library are also patronizing local merchants.
COMMUNICATIONS Letter from the Credit Bureau. The following proposals were suggested by
the Credit Bureau to collect our overdue accounts rather than the usual
police procedures which, of late, have been very ineffective. It was moved by Trustee
Cohendet and secondee by Trustee Lynes that the Library adopt, the procedures of the Water
Department as far as is applicable to our problems. The motion was carried.
NEW BUSINESS Pash.Register. The possibility of using a cash register in the library was
again discussed. The representative of the National Cash Register Company
who was supposed to appear did not do so. It was decided to table the matter
until all Board members are present.
Promotion from Librarian I to. Librarian IT. The Librarian stated as provision had been made
in the budget and as Mrs. Thomas had passed the Librarian II examination previously and,
that as her duties were carried out independently, and she is responsible for many decisions
and procedures in her position, that she was dntitled..to promotion to Librarian II. A
motion was made by Mr. Lynes and seconded by Mrs. Cohendet that Mrs. Thomas be appointed
Senior Librarian as of September 1, 1964. The motion was carried.
Request for Civil Service Examination for two Library Assistants. As shown by the budget,
the library is attempting to eliminate some of the non Civil Service library assistants.
The budget allows for two additional Civil Service library assistants. The Librarian
suggested that. the Board request that the Civil Service Commission set an examination for
Library Assistants. After some discussion, it was moved by Mr. Lynes and seconded by Mrs.
Cohendet that such an examination be requested.
ADJOURNMENT On a motion by Mrs. Cohendet, seconded by Mr. Lynes, the meeting was adjourned.
