Damm, the bills in the amount of 61,504.90 were ordered paid, LIBRARIAN I S REPORT The librariants report was accepted: and the financial state- ment approved and placed on file. i OLD B SIiNESS Suns. The Librarian stated that the cost of the signs to be located on Burlingame Ave, had not been determined, nor had the City Engineer reported on the status of signs on the highway. NETV BUSINESS' Holidays. It was the opinion of the Board members present that holidays on which the City Hall is closed and the library is open should be allowed to accumulate and be taken during vacation periods, in order to keep the regular schedule from becoming overly complicated, which inevitably results when staff members must, of necessity, take their allowed time off during the month of the holiday. As the library is open 75 hours per week, Sundays included, the necessity of staffing it for such long periods results in a very complicated schedule which only becomes more so when holidays are taken during the month that the holidays occur. However, when holidays are allowed to accumulate during, or until vacation time, as school is not in session at such time, the strain on the staff is much less and it is easier to plan schedules with known people on vacation than it is to hit or miss grant days off, Hedge. No action was taken on the request of Mrs. Butcher on the removal of the hedge between the library and the Butcher property as we have not, as yet, received the report of the City Engineer.
