PEARLAND LIBRARY BOARD —.NUTES
September 19, 1989
The meeting was called to order by Rosalie. Present were Dave Beckman:, Richard
Tetens, Bettye Alexander, Dede Williams, Nancy Sallee, and Judy Demecs.
Treasurer Nancy Sallee gave the report as follows:
$ 120.73 old balance
1200.00 contribution from HEB
$ 1320.73 balance
The board was pleased to hear that since the June meeting there has been a major
contribution of $1200.00 given by H. E. Butt Company toward the magazine indexing
system, and a promised contribution of $2,000.00 from Wal-Mart Discount Cities.
The library's present subscription to a magazine index expires in January, so nothing
would need to be put into effect for the indexing system before then.
Dede showed statistics from June, when circulation was higher than ever. The
summer reading program, with Billie Garrison's assistance, enrolled 1,527 children,
and 800 children finished their first ten books. September is library card campaign
month, so applications for cards were taken to Harris and Carleston Elementary Schools,
where 300 signed up.
Adult programs have gone well recently, Dede said. She further reported that the
Jaycees have planned to donate to the library a percent of tickets sold to the Pearland
night at the Astrodome event.
New shelves have been set up in the library and books are being moved now. Dede
asked for volunteers and has some new ones coming.
Bettye moved that the board pay Dede's TLA dues for 1990. The motion passed. Bettye
said that Dede and Rosalie's appearance at council meeting this summer was concise
and informative.
Rosalie said Mr. Earle of Earle's Jewelers has some books written in California
during the Gold Rush era and might be interested in doing a program for the library.
Dede said Mr. Earle had done some things for children.
Richard reported the City Council did get a copy of board minutes in their packets
of information. Whey Bettye spoke to Steve Brown, the budget hearing for the county
had been held, and a letter concerning Dede's raise had gone to Commissioner's Court
but no results were known as yet.
Meeting adjourned.
