C C LIBRARY BOARD MINUTES NOV. p/2
E. Magazines: An EBSCO representative paid us a visit and he offered to find
us a sponsor for ten new magazine subscriptions. The sponsor's name will
be on the front cover of the magazines. It is a two-year program. He is
trying to get a Merritt Island doctor to be our donor.
F. Lock-box: This has been installed in the front. The Fire Department Chief
came and placed the key inside and locked it. In case of an emergency they
will be able to enter the library.
G. Catalog Unit: The Worden catalog unit (30 drawers) with two tables, was sold
for $2,499.00 and removed from our facility.
H. Wall Paint Problem: Randy Hearns, GS Contractor's Manager, called and they
are going to do the walls. A paint contractor came to discuss a time-frame.
He was going to submit this in writing and I asked for a copy. I am discussing
this with my immediate supervisors, Cathy Sweinberg and Kathy Stewart. There
is a probability that we will have to close the library for at least three
days or more. It depends on the condition of the walls when they are scraped.
It may be necessary to seal the walls and there will be a drying period.
I. In the County: The Satellite Beach Library project is on schedule. Palm Bay
Library work has not yet gone out for bid.
J. Library Patrons Refunds and Reference Service: BCLS ##7 and BCLS# 8, will be
presented for approval to the Brevard County Commissioners with Library
Board and Brevard County Library Board recommendations.
IV.OLD BUSINESS: The Soucoup Art exhibit: There was a discussion of whether to
give permission for this exhibit. Mrs. Escapa is worried about security for
the exhibit. Mrs. Stenglein felt that the Soucoups were making too many
demands. The City Manager, Mr. Spenek, suggested an -alarm system for the doors.
Ultimately it was decided that the primary function of the library was not
to accommodate every art exhibit that came along. Future exhibits will be
allowed at the discretion of Mrs. Escapa in consultation with the Library Board.
Mrs. Butte brought up the question of the previously discussed "Safe Driving
Course." After discussion, it was decided to try to schedule it for next Jan.
Mrs. Butte asked if the left-over books fran the Book Sale could be sent
overseas to the servicemen. She will look in to the matter by trying to get
an address. Motion by E. Butte, seconded by Tim Grady, to pursue this matter.
V. NEW BUSINESS: Election of Officers: The present slate of officers consists of:
Chairman, Tim Grady; Vice-Chairperson, Ernestine Butte; Secretary, P. Stenglein.
Motion by Hilma Goff seconded by Gerry Vavrek to retain the present officers.
Passed.
