of the City of Carlsbad was held in the Children1s
Library on February 9, 1959. Present were Commissioners

equipment money from the Library's budget for twenty-seven
more stacks. These stacks were from the Oceanside Library
and some will be utilized soon while the remainder will be
held in reierve for future use. Librarian Cole also reported
on last month1s increase of the circulation in the adult
section of the Library; due to the more advantageous down-
town location, it is believed.

them of the proposed bill for State Aid to Libraries was
read and discussed. It was decided that a resolution for
protesting the proposed bill be included In the letter to
the City Council. Also read and approved was a requested
letter to City Manager Palkowski informing him of the space
need for the Library for the next five years. A general
discussion on space need followed and the Commissioners
adjourned to the Water Building for a survey to determine
its size and suitability for housing the e«tlre Library.
It was felt a more expert opinion was needed as to possible
remodeling of the building to obtain the correct size and
usable arrangement of rooms. It was requested a letter be
sent to the City Council asking the City Engineer to
investigate the possibilities of enlarging and remodeling*
The meeting was adjourned at 9j12.
