Jane Davis, Library Director, reported that Jackie Mart had been hired to
fill the vacant Adult Services position. She will begin May 5. She comes

Ms. Davis reported on the two small LSCA grants. The oral history

indexed, bound and made available for check-out. The video tapes for the
video history grant are being edited and will soon be available for public
use.
Under Old Business, Catherine Fine and Susan Kirkpatrick reported on the
book The Trouble With Soap, by Margery Cuyler. A parent had requested the
title be withdrawn. Both Boardmembers recommended the book be retained for
patron use. Susan Kirkpatrick so moved. Polly Walters seconded the
motion. All present voted to retain the title.
Board members discussed the Fort Collins Historical Society request that
the local history collection be officially named The Charlene Tresner Local
History Collection. Ms. Kneeland appointed Don Morgan, Jerry Johnson and
Catherine Fine to an ad hoc committee to look into precedents and
alternatives and report back to the members at the regular May meeting.
Board members spent considerable time discussing and editing the
information they are preparing for City Council dealing with the library
materials budget.

that all Boards and Commissions provide a short annual report of highlights
and activities of their year. Board requested that Jane Davis prepare that
report for Council.
