Second was made by Mrs. Goff. Motion passed unanimously.
III. DIRECTORS REPORT:
A. Monthly Statistical Review: Mrs. Stonebrook stated that the M.S.R.
was not complete due to a problem with time, but that the completed
report would be mailed to each board member. She did mention that
circulation had gone up again. Last month there was an 18% increase;
this month there was a 19% increase.
B. Activity Report: The Activity Report will be sent to the Board
with the completed M.S.R.
C. Budget: Mrs. Stonebrook reported that the budget is progressing.
There will be a County Library Board meeting this coming Thursday
evening. Chairman Grady wrote a very fine letter, on behalf of
the Board, to Mrs. Stewart requesting the consideration for the
10% above the 4% increase to address the book budget. Mrs. Stewart
is in full support of the increase. Mrs. Stonebrook reported that
she felt the position request has an excellent chance of going thru
this year.
IV. FURNITURE MODIFICATION RECDATICNS:
Mrs. Stonebrook reported that she brought this item up on the agenda because
it was decided we would piggy—back on Port St. John's furnishings and this
would make our order consistant with those models of furnishings that the
Board agrees that they want and the second reason was to eliminate items
that during the past year and a half we have acquired that Mr. Jeffers
is not aware of so there won't be any duplications. The other reason was

to suggest the model number to match recently acquired items such as our
paperback book displayers and to list items that she would like to see
included in the specifications or at least have the City have knowledge
of them.
Mrs. Stonebrook and the Board discussed some changes in the original speci-
fications that she felt were necessary to make the new library more efficient
and workable. Some of the points she went over were the position and height
of the shelving; the adult tables being rectangular instead of round; moving
the juvenile and childrens sections, because older children were louder
than the younger ones; the copier area needs no Cabinet but will need a
table; placement of the telefax machine, etc.
Mrs. Stonebrook and the Board went over each piece of furniture line by
line, choosing and checking the model numbers for each piece, as well as
the amounts and colors or styles for the items. The Board discussed fabric
colors for the furnighings and changes in the community room, ie. shorage
area, as well as handicapped access and doors. It was discussed looking
into electronically operated doors. Midnight blue fabric with blonde woods
were discussed as well as blue-grey carpet. It was decided carpet swatches
were needed before fabric colors would be decided. We also need carpet
specifications. Mrs. Stonebrook will check with Mrs. Stewart for the carpet
sepcifications.
The Board unanimously agreed with all of Mrs. Stonebrooks changes and ideas.
for the placement and types of furnishings for the new library and these
ideas/suggestions were what the Board wanted presented to the City Council.
V. NEW LIBRARY BUILDING DEVELOPMENTS:
Was discussed under Library Furnishings.
