MEMORANDUM
DATE: June 15,,1976
TO: Library Board
FROM: Larry Webber, Library Director
RE: Follow-up on Library Board Meeting.
Frank Gibson, library consultant, was contacted by phone,
Wednesday, June 9, 1976 to inquire about his experience and
feelings concerning automatic doors in library buildings. Although
he stated that he has had no experience with this type of entrance
to libraries, he did not see any reason why a library should not
have these doors. He felt excited about the concept and the
availability to the handicapped and elderly. The only reason he
gave as to why he thought libraries hadn't used it before was the
cost.
Enclosed in this packet are the revised meeting room and gift
policies. These are still working documents and if you have any
concerns, comments or revisions please let Jane Davis know as soon
as possible since the next library board meeting is not until July
28, 1976.
Prior to the opening of the new building, some type of action
will have to be taken by the City Council for final adoption or
endorsement. It is our aim to have a brochure printed and ready
for distribution on the opening day, explaining the policies of the
new library.
