LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Regular meeting—August 16, 1978 VA \ \> V-
The meeting was called to order at 3:07 by Chairman Munn. In attendance were
Trustees Falkenstein, Cipriano and Brownley. Also, Mrs. Casler, City Council
Mrs. Cole, City Librarian; Miss Ayars, Friends of the Library; and Mrs.
MeWilliams, Genealogical Society.
In the absence of Mr. Hammond, Chairman Munn asked Mrs. Brownley to take
minutes.
The minutes of the July 19 meeting were amended to correct the date of the
continued Council budget hearings regarding Proposition 13 from Saturday,
August 5 to Tuesday, August 8. The minutes were approved as corrected.
Chairman Munn asked if the third Wednesday at 3:00 was still satisfactory
for the regular Board meetings. There was no objection, so the time of
meeting remains the same. Agendas are available the preceding Friday at
Bobbie Hoder's office.
OLD BUSINESS
Appointment of committees: Building and Grounds will be retained. Tom
Hammond is to be responsible for that area, reporting back to the
Board. Mrs. Brownley will be responsible for Personnel, including
CLSI. Mr. Falkenstein will be responsible for Budget, and should
sit in on staff meetings. Mr. Cipriano will be responsible for
youth Library programs and the continuing survey for young people's
reactions and requests. Each Board member is urged to continue their
contact with- the City Council as part of the public relations for
the Library. The Board will be a "committee as a whole" for Public
Relations. This includes the general public and the City Council.
Progress report on CLSI: Patron registrations are up to 1,481; books
are over 10,000.
July statistics: Circulation in July was up 5,238 over July of last
year. Refer to the monthly sheet for details. There was some dis-
cussion of the drop in Audiovisual. It was felt this is due to
the change in policy of cooperation with the schools and the fact
of no summer school this year.
NEW BUSINESS
CLSI: The City Council at its August 15 meeting approved $22,800
for the down payment on the Library Circulation Control System from
the continuing appropriations.
California Library Services Act: The City Council will discuss at their
September 5 meeting jurisdictional authorization to participate.
Mrs. Casler raised two questions. She maintains that City Ordinance
#1072 is the legal instrument for the Library. Mrs. Cole differed,
stating that the Library is also subject to the State Education Code.
Clarification of this point will be sought. Second, Mrs. Casler
said that the Pasadena Library was evidently charging a fee for non-
city residents and wondered why it could not be done here. Mrs. Cole
will look into this, since no fees can be charged within the Serra
Cooperative Library System.
Sample budgets for 1978-79: A special meeting of the Board is being
called for August 23 at 3:00 to review these.
