LIBRARIANS REPORT
The librarian's report was accepted and the financial

OLD BUSIEESS
The approved budget was again reviewed, and the notes
submitted by the librarian criticised.
NY1f BUSIFFSS
After some discussion, it was decided that the librarian
sho,ald: use his judgment in regard to the appointing of a
senior librarian at the Branch. It was thought that the
position should be one of a senior librarian due to the
constantly increasing responsibility necessitated by the
ever growir_g volume of busi-ess at the Branch. Approxi-
mately one third of the total circulation is now at the
Branca Library. As that section of th- cit)* develooes,
it will no doubt grow even larger; and the norscr who is
in charge nu.st be an experienced librarian who is capable
of making independent, administrative decisions.
The continued opening of the Branch. It was decided that
the Branch should remain open from one until nine, Monday
through Friday, as there is a considerable number of
people who would use the library between six and seven,
when it has been customarily closed. Further study will
be made to see whether the library could profitably be
kept open until nine on 6aturdays and also be opened on
Sundays as the brain Library is.
ADJOURNMEPlT
On a motion by Asir. Burns, seconded by Mr. Crosby, the
meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
G. P. Lechich
Clerk of the Board
