The Librarian stated that the Staff Handbook should have been ( completed by this time but that very little work was done on its or?anization and compilation. Part of this Handbook will consist of certain policy statements, perhaps the most important of which is the book selection_ policy. The Librarian submitted r for farther stud a tentative book selection policy based on the work of Lois Loolv:yk, Monterey County Librarian. After considerable discussion it was decided, upon a motion by Trustee .foody seconded by Trustee Edwards, that a. committee be formed to study the minutes and compile a chronolo Pieal list of resolutions of policy. Trustee Harrison stated that she did not feel th-at it was worth the effort involved due to the fact that the L.brarian was always called upon to answer any questions of policy, and that it was possible for any member of the Board to per-Ise the minutes and find out about staten:er_ts made in the past. Trustee Harrison also stated that she felt that a considerable amount of administrative policies were unwritten and simply had been acceded to by Board agreement and discussed unofficially. Pres. Cohendet and Trustee Edwards stated that they believed it would be very advisable to have policy discussions of Vne, iJas t compiled. Trustee Moody agreed that this would be a rood procedure. Trusibee Crosby stated that he was in ap~reement with this but he felt in �.� no ay should this action serve as a criticisco of the Librarian's past actions.
