Minutes of the Library Board of Trustees
Time of Meeting: 8:00 P.M. Carlsbad City Library
Date of Meeting: January 13, 1969
TRUSTEES PRESENT; Wrench, Howard-Jones, Hill, Sheffler,
Carli, Librarian Cole
GUEST: Mr. Healton, Rep. of the Genealogical Society
The meeting was called to order by President Wrench at
8:00 p.m.
Order of agenda was waived so that the Board might
consider the Genealogy Society request for storage space
first. At this time the Genealogy Society requested
space.for storing books and pamphlets to be used by
members at meetings of the Society in the Library. A
three-shelf bookcase, locked, is to be provided by the
Society for this purpose.
After some discussion, it was MSC that the Society's
request be granted on the following conditions:
' ' 1) The Librarians and other qualified researchers
have access to the materials for reference.
2) No responsibility for loss or damage to be incurred
by the Library.
3) Style and sire of bookcase to conform with existing
shelving.
h) This arrangement is subject to periodic review.
The Board will check the legality of this action with the
City Attorney before formally implementing it. Furtbe**-
more, the Board noted that this was a unique situation
and was not to be viewed as setting a general precedent.
The fact that it is a limited request, that it will make
available a reference collection of great interest to the
community which would not otherwise be possible, and that
conditions in the library at this time allow for honoring
such a request, all served to enable the Board to act •
affirmatively in this particular matter*

Carlsbad Art League Request for Exhibit in Celebration of
San Diego's 200th Anniversary— Art Rental Committee met
with Mrs. Marge Temple and decided not to participate in
the program. It was deemed impractical because of the
space such an exhibit would require. The League wanted to
hang 75 paintings and the exhibit was to run longer than
the three weeks allowed by Board policy* Consequently, i
would significantly interfere with operation of the multi
purpose room in the Library.
A question was raised about the responsibility and
authority of the Art Rental Committee in making decisions
about exhibits. It was pointed out that the Secretary
of the Board is authorized to review and approve applica-
tions presented to him by the Art Rental Committee.
