The meeting was called to order by the President, Lloyd Spawn. The minutes
of the previous meeting were approved as distributed.
Lloyd Spawn read the letter he had written to the several candidates for the
Larimer County Board of Commissioners asking them each to comment on their
attitude toward county financial support for the various municipal libraries
in the county. As of this date replies had been received from candidates
Zollner and Johnston.
Several reports were presented to the Library Board. Jane Davis, Library
Director, reported that bulding use and materials circulation were both up
for August of 1983. Robert Holzfaster, Administrative Aide III, distributed
a statistical report showing three years of building traffic. Kathleen
Murphy, Adult Services Librarian, reported on non-fiction book acquisitions
in the fields identified for upgrading by the collection development study
done early in 1983. Ellen Willis, Children's Librarian, reported on a very
successful 1984 Summer Reading Program. Jane Davis reported that the video-
cassette lending program was projected to begin in February 1985.
Under Old Business, Jane Davis reported that the library remodel project was
proceeding through the preliminary design phase and that Craig Mulford, an
architect with Glaser Associates, was working with library staff to produce
a satisfactory design.
A restatement of library policy on revocation of library borrowing privileges
was submitted to board members for their approval. Don Morgan moved that it
be adopted. Polly Walters seconded the motion. It passed unanimously.
Jane Davis reported that the opening of the Energy Center/Microcomputer Center
held on September 8 went very well. She also reported that she had no addi-
tional information on the curb repair except that it is still supposed to be
begun this year.

Since all members were not present annual election of officers was postponed
until the October meeting. Members filled out information sheets for the
Boards and Commissions Manual currently being reprinted.
Board members reviewed the paperback book The Doctor in Ward B. by Jean Francis,
for which a request for reconsideration of library materials had been received.
Members felt that because of the poor physical condition of the book and the
lack of substantive content it should be discarded.
The meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Jane B. Davis, Secretary Pro-tem
