OLD BUSINESS
Ca-pital Bu Ret. A note was read from the Planning Commission requesting that a represen-
tative of the Board be present to discuss the proposed acquisition of additional property.
Mr. Edwards indicated that he would attend.
Governor's Conference. Pres. Cohendet reported that she represented the library at the
conference and that she participated in a panel on library law. She stated that the
Assistant State Attorney, who was to discuss library law, failed to do so. The represen-
tative from Amador County explained their participation in the Federal Aid Bill and the
library services established for its 9,000 inhabitants. She stated that she believed
the greatest benefit from attendance at these conferences was derived from discussions
with people attending. She stated that there was some discussion on censorship, and
that libraries should have well balanced representative collections. She also stated
that in respect to population growth that most libraries have retrogressed in the ser-
vices to the public. Pdr. Lechich stated that this is not the case in regard to our
library-that the circulation had grown in relation to the population. Pres. Cohendet
stated that she hoped the trustees would attend more of these meetings than they have
in the past,especially that the next CIA convention will be held in Berkeley.
Budget. The Librarian stated that the budget had passed the city council and it had
conformed with our requests with the exception of the establishment of a reserve fund.
He stated, however, that probably there would be a surplus in the tax fund at the end
of the financial year.
Safe. The Librarian stated that the safe had been received and installed-it is also
now covered b7 insurance.
Children's Librarian. It was moved by Trustee Edwards, seconded by Trustee Moody, that
we accept miss Palovic's resignation and that the librarian write a letter expressing
the Board's than'= s for her services.
NEW BUSINESS
,Re-or;zanization of the Board. Trustee Moody moved that Jack Edwards be nominated for
Chairman of the Board for the ensuing year, motion seconded by Trustee Crosby and unani-
mously carried. Trustee moody moved that Trustee Crosby be nominated Secretary of the
Board, seconded by Trustee Edwards, unanimously carried.
