BURLINGAME PUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD
April 21, 1954
Trustees present: President Airs. Johnson, Mr. Barns, Mr. Fichtner,
Air. Cargill, Airs. Damm.
MINUTES
The minutes of the previous meeting of March 17, 1954,
were read and approved.
BILLS
On a motion by Mr. Fichtner, seconded by Mrs. Damm., the
bills in the amount of 61,975.77 were ordered paid.
LIBRARIAN'S REPORT
The Librarian's report was accepted and the financial
statement was approved.
NET BUSINESS
Budget. A tentative budget was discussed, and a resume
of the staff situation for the coming year was looked over.
The detailed budget will be discussed at the next meeting.
Book Cards. Some thought was given to the possibility
of requiring a card for each user of the library and
thus prohibiting the loaning of cards. It might be
feasible to charge $.50 fee for a duplicate card to be
issued to families who have non-resident cards.
Letters to Mr. Atwater and Mr. Simonds. The secretary
was requested to send a letter to Mr. Atwater containing
a resolution passed by unanimous vote of the Board
congratulating him on his election to the office of
Mayor. A similar letter is to be sent to Air. Simonds
expressing the Boards appreciation for his services as
Mayor.
ADJOURNMENT
On a motion by Air. Burns, seconded by Mr. Fichtner, the
meeting was adjourned.
Resp c y submitted,
G. P. Lechich
