NEE-Vv BUSINESS
Technical Books. In refering to the Librariants report Mr.
Fichtner expressed some surprise at the relatively small pro-
portion of the budget spent for technical books. He stated
that it might be advisable to break the non-fiction down into
separate catagories. The Librarian explained that due to the
shortage of help at the Library we do not have the staff at
the present time to do the additional statistical work this
would require.
New District Expansion. It has been brought to the attention
of the Library by school and recreation groups that there
will be the possible need of an additional branch or some such
facility to handle the new development in the mills Estate Sub-
division. There also may be some demand by the Peninsula
Hospital for the services of the Library similar to those
received by Mills Hospital from the San Mateo Library. These
and similar problems should receive such study as necessary
to fox7mlate plans for future development.
