MINUTES Minutes of the previous meeting of December 16, 1963, and the adjourned
meeting of December 17th, and the special session of January 6, 1964
were read and approved.
BILLS On a motion by Mrs. Cohendet, seconded by Mr. Lynes, the bills in the
amount of $3,071.66 were ordered paid.
LIBRARIAN'Sr REPORT The Librarian's report was read and accepted.
MONTHLY FINANCIAL STATEMENT The financial statement was approved and placed on
file.
OLD BUSINESS Parking. The Librarian stated that the City Council is going to
conduct a hearing on February 3rd on the parking situation.
COMMUNICATIONS A letter was received by Mrs. Harrison from Nancy L. Aitken
expressing her displeasure at the arrangement of the stacks
which permit voyeurs to view from lower floors. The discussion brought out that
this has been a problem since the construction of the library, and that the same
problem exists in other libraries. It could be partially corrected by the use of
screens at a cost of $2,000 - 03,000. It was stated that at present such funds
are riot available, but that perhaps sometime in the future the openings might be
closed by such means if and when the money is available. Mrs. Aitken's letter
will be acknodtledged by the Clerk.
A letter of resignation from Mrs. Terpay was read.
NEVA BUSINESS The letter of resignation from the Children's Librarian was
accepted with regret. The Librarian stated that the position will
be filled when possible, and that the situation is not as pressing as it has been
previously since we have a half-time Children's Librarian, Mrs. Dunn, and that
Mrs. Bergsing has had considerable experience in this field.
Registration Period: It was agreed that, for the time being, the
registration period would be extended from three to four years in
order to permit the changeover, to machine charging without having to issue
renewed cards during the first year transition period.
Increased fees, Duplicate Cards, and LookedJup Cards. Action on
this issue was tabled until the next Board meeting.
Petty Cash. On a motion by Mr. Lynes, seconded by Mrs. Cohendet,
it was voted that 525.00 addition petty cash be added to the present funds, making
a total of $100.00. The money will be requested from the City Treasurer.
Respectfully subm' tt d,
Georgie Paul Lechich
Clerk of the Board
