February 18, 1970
The City Library Board meeting was called to order by Mrs. Bennett, the President.
Minutes of the previous meeting had been forwarded to each Board member so
formal reading was dispensed with.
The only matter of old business was a request from North Eventide for bookmobile
service. This was refused because the policy is that the service shall not be
granted inside the city limits.
Mr. Webber reported that Dennis Hawes had been employed as a night supervisor at
$80 per moath to take care of disciplinary problems that were developing.
Mr. Hawes is a Junior at C.S.U.
After discussion Mr. Watrous moved that the Board accept the offer of display
material made by the Arts and Humanities Council. The material may be put on
display at the discretion of the Librarian, and the insurance is to be arranged
for by the Council. Mrs. Ronco seconded the motion and it was accepted.
Mrs. McQuiddy, President of the Friends of the Library, was present to express
their desire to become active in behalf of the Library, and she presented the
following suggestions for projects: 1. A catalog of the framed print collection
with color photograph and a critique of each, by AAUW. 2. That Friends of the
Library take over book auctions for the Library, the receipts to be used
primarily for the Gold Star Section. 3. Catalogue the records provided by
record companies. 4. Continue the story hours. 5. Procure record player for
the children's room. 6. Provide more films for the children.
Also present at the meeting was Mr. Prilliman from the High Plains Library
System. He answered some of the questions raised by Board members, and explained
that others would be worked out as the System was developed. State and federal
money are the sources of financial backing for the System. It was agreed by the
local board that Mr. Watrous be recommended to the City Council for appointment as i
our representative on the High Plains Council.
The meeting adjourned until the regular time on March 18, 1970.
