The regular monthly meeting of the Library Commission of
th» City of Carlsbad was held in the Children* • Library on
June 8, 1959. Present were Commissioners Front, Richardson,
and atrause, and Librarian Cole. Absent were Commissioners
Spivey and Walker.
The meeting was called to order at 8;05 by Viee-Chaii
Frout. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved*
To be included in the minutes of this meeting was a brief
report on the City Council meeting of May 19th when the budget
of the City of Carlsbad was presented to the Council for their
approval. A large delegation in behalf of the Library attended
the Council meeting. However, when the budgets were presented
to the Council, they, the Council, had apparently already
discussed the matter of the Library budget and passed the
budget with all of our recommendations plus the $4,000 for the
building. To make the budget balance, we were asked to reduce
the expenditures under Special Departmental Supplies from
|500 to $584. ihis Librarian Cole agreed to do and the Library's
total budget for the 1969-60 year amounted to $24,df9( see
copy of total budget on following page). Commissioner Richardson
thanked the Oouaoil for their move to revise the Library budget
and stated the definite need for the revisions.
A preliminary plan for the remodeling of the Water building
for Library use was available at the Commission meeting and it
was discussed. Some suggestions for changes in the plan were
made and approved by the Commissioners and arrangements were
made for Commissioners Frout and Strauss to meet with City \
Manager Palkowski, City Engineer Jenken, and Councilwoman Goats
to discuss the plan. The proposed meeting resulted in a few more
changes in the plan plus the approval of said plan. Al*0 dis-
cussed at this meeting was the necessity for the City Council
to give official notice to the Water Co. to vacate the premises
and the official approval to the City BnffpMvr to proceed with
the plans and bids for the remodeling of the building. This
was done at the Council mooting of June 16th.
At the Commission meeting, Librarian Cole made the announce-
ment of the new hours of the Library that would start on July 1st.
The Adult Library will be open from 9 to 5 five days a week,
from 6 to 9 on Monday and Wednesday nights, and 9 to 1 on Saturday.
The Children's Library will be open from 1 to 5 five days a
week and from 9 to 1 on Saturday. These new hours anmade possible
by the change in the budget of the Library of the Assisttant
from part-time status to full-time status.
The meeting adjourned at 9i05.
