OLD BUSINESS Parking. The Librarian stated that the City Council is going to
conduct a hearing on February 3rd on the parking situation.
COIyIMUNICATIONS 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 - S3,000. It was stated that at present such funds
are not 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 acknowledged by the Clerk.
A letter of resignation from Mrs. Terpay was read.
NEVI 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.
Pett7 Cash., On a motion by Mr. Lynes, seconded by Mrs. Cohendet,

a total of 0100.00. The money will be requested from the City Treasurer.
