OLD BUSINESS
Branch Libra. Petr. Crosby reported that he had some discussion concerning
e possi e use of the Hillside Fire Station, in case of abandonment, as
a Branch Library. The further discussion seemed to indicate that because
of lack of cross traffic flow and the unsuitability for the ready access
of children, that this would be a poor location. Mr. Crosby continued his
investigation with Mr. Mann and met with Mr. King of the Truetsdale Company
and after considerable discussion in which the possible use of certain areas
of the Elementary School property which is near the commercial district might
be considered, Mr. King said that he would find out the attitude of his
company in regards to the possible sale at cost of a piece of property in or
near the commercial area, the title of the property to revert to the
Company in case the library did not use said property.
Stacks Extension. The librarian stated that Ir. horberg had not as yet submitt-
ed sketches o e proposed stack extension, but he had said that he would
soon do so.
Friends of the Library Group. The librarian said that Mrs. Cohendet would
begin more active organization of the Friends Group at an early date and that
she would meet with the librarian to form plans to promote the brgani.zation
of such a group.
