LIBRARIAN'S REPORT

OLD BUSINESS
Disposition of 'the Building Next Door. After some explanation to the new board members present
_. in regard to acquisition and use of the property, it was decided not to renew our request for
removal of the building and conversion into a parking lot until it becomes evident that there
will be a definite delay in the prospect of the establishment of a Parking District.
Non-resident fees. After an explanation and discussion of non-resident fees structure and
issuing of cards in duplicate to non-residents, a discussion was tabled until the next meeting
in order to better establish the cost per capita based on the final library budget figures,
and to allow some thought on the possible affect of fees on the loss of books taken surrep-
titiously by those who do not have cards.
Budget. The Librarian reported the budget, as submitted by the Board, has been passed without
modification by the City Council but that the final figures were not available due to the
salary changes.
Book Selection Policy. The Librarian pointed out that on December 15, 1959, the Trustees had
undertaken a study of a book selection policy and that through some oversight no further action
was taken. The Librarian stated that he would send out with the minutes, for study, a copy
of the then proposed statement.
