A letter from Alda Jett was read and placed on file. The Board felt
that it could take no action- first, because a leave of absence must
be for a definite time - second, because she actually no longer wishes
to continue in the position she now holds - third, it would tie the

all matters concerning part-time employees have been left in the hands of
the Librarian and the Board has made no decision in these matters.
