LIBRARIAN'S REPORT The Librarian's report was read and accepted and the financial statement was approved and placed on file. OLD BUSINESS New Branch Site. The Librarian reported that additional information as to the placement of the elementary school had been received. That it was to face on Trousdale, and it is quite possible that the anticipated traffic from the school children would not develop, as the intermediate school children are driven by bus to school and very little foot traffic actually passes upon Quesada. Therefore, the site between the two schools may not be as objectionable as it was originally thought. Further investigation will be made, as the architect for the elementary school has not actually located the portion of the elementary school building upon Trousdale Avenue. Friends of the Library. Mrs. Cohendet stated that the Librarian's report was suI`1-6-1ent - Non-Resident 11embership by Contract. Mr. Lechich stated that pertinent information had been forwarded to ivlr.
