During July 11th to the 15th, City Council will be in wwrkshop for budget. Steve can
meet with them August 3rd. Council accepted the library budget as requested by Dede.
The library will be getting a new Xerox machine for staff use with reduction and
enlargement features. The machine allowance is 2,000.00 and we were leasing the one
presently used. Under the new terms, we will be leasing to purchase, then will buy
a full-service maintenance.
For summer reading club 1300 have been registered so far. There were 350 in attendance
at the magic show on the second week of summer club. Dede reported we now have a large -
print grouping of books. A patron donates her large -print Readers' Digest. Steve
reported he will be adding to the large -print books. A HALS area library group is to
donate $1,290.00. The book budget for the county is $212,500.00 more than last year,
but not yet sufficient. More staff members are needed. The library card campaign is
off to a.very good start in that about 4,000 children have gotten library cards.
Steve is about ready to send out requests for C. D. Rehm catalogues for bids for the
Braznet project. The catalogues will provide descriptions of their products systems.
There are only about six products on the market.
Bettye and Steve will be talking with Glen Chaney about who can provide information on
property for a -future branch library on or near Highways 288 and 518, as property needs
to be set aside. Motion made and seconded that meeting be adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Rosalie Olah, Chairwoman and
Acting Secretary for this meeting
