5. Dan Arnsan, Children's Librarian, reported on transportation needs for
the Library. He felt that a self-contained mini-bookmobile (van type) would
allow the Library to extend service to many parts of Carlsbad. Only one
person is needed to operate the bookmobile. It could also serve as a trans-
portation vehicle for both materials and personnel. The van which he felt
would be most advantageous was the Dodge Maxi-Van with Camper Extension.
The cost to be approximately $6,000-$6,500, The purchase of the Bookmobile
would permit the closing of the children's Mini-Library on Jefferson Street.
6. Caroline Schindler will work on reelassification of Library personnel,
said study to be completed before budget time next year.
