MARCH'26, 1971 The following members of the Carlsbad Library #oard of Trustees met with the ^orth County ^enealogial Society members and wr. and %*s. Dana Blaney, local genealogists: Anita Donahue, Bill &ill, Dorothy ^ead and Librarian Georgina Cole. The meeting was held in the multi-purpose room of the Carlsbad Library for the purpose of disoussin g a proposed fund for genealogial books and related materials, to be sot up ig the will of Mr. and Mrs. Blaney, .and to be given to either the Carlsbad or Oceanside City Library. Mrs. ^ell VToodard, president of the North Bounty Genealogical Society conducted the meeting and introduced members of the society to local board members, '^-'he Blaneys explained their interest in perpetuatingthe study of geneology in North County and of making it possible for scholars and interested persons' to have an opportunity for research in this field without leaving this general area. Several questions were asked as to the availability of space for such a col- lection in the Carlsbad Library, interest in having such a collection , and hovr materials might be selected and circulated, •'•he mezzanine o.rea in the Carlsbad ^ibrary would be satisfactory as a location,as a completely closed room is not essential, the ^laneys agreed. Caijfcsbad Board members agreed to the stipulation that this area, if eelected by the donors, would be named 'for ^leaner and ^ana Blaney. Those present felt that much of the material in such a collection would probably be of such value as to • necessitate reference use only, ^-t was also agreed that a wise stipulation would be that materials would be selected subject to the approval of members of the '•'ociety since they are particularity knowledgable in that field. After an hour| of exploratory discussion the meeting was adjourned with the understanding that, while Carlsbad City Library Board would be interested and delighted'to received such a generous gift, a final decision would naturally rest with %•. and ^rs. Blaney and the interests and space, capacities of the Ooean8i.de Public ^ibrary. ' Respectfully submitted, 'T^I/'/A /J-^yv* ^ /(^^ a . .. Anita Donahue,.Secretary
