Trustees Absent; Trustee Lynas. MINUTES nu es of the previous meeting of April 15, 1963, were read and approved. BILLS On a motion by Trustee Harrison, seconded by Trustee Cohendet, bills in the amount of J6,411.58 were ordered paid. LIBRARIAN'S REPORT The Li rar anis report was read and accepted. MONTHLY FINANCIAL STATEIvONT The IT—nancial statement was approved and placed on file. OLD BUSINESS BranchiSie. Trustee Moody reported that he and Trustee Lynes visited Dr. Corey and he stateZE Uhat there was a possible site on the CTA property, one on the west side of the main building, and one on the south east side. He stated that the CTA wished that if the building were constructed that we have conference rooms, and that they would lease the building to us for ten years and amortize during that period. Trustee Moody stated that in his opinion the amortization for ten years would not be desirable, and that the proposition would never work out for library purposes as the present cost of land per acre was too high for library use. He stated that this was his opinion only, as he had not talked to Trustee Lynes, and this was only his thinking. There was considerable discussion on a possible site located between the Secondary School and the Benjamin Franklin School on Quesada. The Elementary School Board realizes that if they build executive offices on this site, due to the possible con- solidation of the Elementary School District with the Secondary School District, the offices would no longer be necessary. Therefore, there is the possibility that this site might be used for the construction of a Branch or, if offices are built, they might be so constructed that they could be readily converted to library use. C OMATIJNI CATI ONS letter o resignation from Ruth Boyce was read. She has been a part-time Library Aide for several years, and the Secretary of the Board was requested to write a letter of appreciation. N&V BUSINESS e ecora n the Staff Room and Rest Rooms.

The Librarian was authorized to proceed with the replacement of the drapes in the Main Room if there was sufficient funds allowed.

Fees from this group totaled $3,655.00 whit% vas divided as follows. $2,8: 2 from $14 non- resident family cards; $3j'AO from $1 duplicate cards; $770 from $7 student cards. Losing of cards by adults is minimal, but perhaps f0" of they thigh school students lend their cards, though not always to non-residents. One additional registration for eadh new resident by count is phenomenal. There are 458 more card holders, this year than there was last year at this time, and this mans the library use is increasing faster than the population growth.

CHILDREN Q S ROOM The Spelunker Reading Club, sponsored by the Lions Club, is off to a good start with misplays and photographs furnished by the San Francisco Bay Chapter of the National Speleologi- cal Society.
