Absent: Jeri Cundiff, Marilyn Hartzell, Yvonne Burgess
Reports: Minutes from November were amended. Planning Committee will consist of
Amo DeBernardis, Yvonne Burgess and Marilyn Hartzell,with Susan Grossen
available as an alternate.
Monthly Report for November was summarized by Library Director. Y.A.
Librarian recruitment was re-opened. A major purchase of videos was made
to meet the holiday rush. Circulation has risen in response to removal of
checkout limits. Indoor Park will have use of St. Anthony's multi-purpose
room.
C.L.A.B. County Commissioners accepted levy proposal. WCCLS
reimbursement funds may be used at city discretion including capital projects.
Friends of the Library: No report.
Planning Committee Feedback: DeBernardis reported that the first Planning Committee meeting
was used to outline the committee's purpose. Ideas were proposed for
discerning the community's likes, wants, and needs. Hope to have meetings
on Mondays at 8:30. Good feedback from committee members. Board
members expressed interest in having City Council involved in this process
as progress is made toward writing goals.
_Community Outreach-Organizational Visits: Davis shared information on two visits made as a
result of WCCLS telephone survey: Summerfield Club House and Tigard
Lions. Both groups expressed similar views on the library's computer system:
They despise it! As a result of this feedback, library staff has planned a
"targeted open house" for senior citizens. Staff will be at the library after
hours to conduct tours, demonstrate computer use and visit with the patrons.
Board members were very supportive of this idea. Grossen volunteered her
help at the open house and recommended that staff write follow-up letters to
both organizations addressing topics of interest mentioned by the members
at each meeting.
Adiournment: 8:09 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,

IMPORTANT!
Library Board Members:
Attached you will find a copy of a notice headed "WCCLS LEVY MEETING."
Please take time to read this. As you know, it is vital that the WCCLS Levy pass
this in March for library service to continue as we know it.
"People for Libraries" has been formed to actively inform and educate citizens
about this levy. Because of the political conflict of interest, it is inappropriate for
library employees to be involved in this effort.
I NEED THE BOARDS HELP!
It is very important that we have representation in this process. If you are available
to attend this meeting, please let me know as soon as possible. I will be attending
the C.L.A.B. meeting immediately preceding and would be happy to provide
transportation to and from (I'll sit through your meeting if you'll sit through minel)
if needed.
We will not have another Board meeting until two days after the Levy Meeting so
I trust I will hear from some or all of you on this issue by phone.
Happiest of Holidays to you and your families!

WCCLS LEVY MEETING
Tuesday, January 12, 1993 -- 8:15pm to 9:30pm
(immediately following the CLAB meeting)
At the Cedar Mill Community Library
12505 NW Cornell Road Oust east of Bale's Thriftway)
PEOPLE FOR LIBRARIES, a county-wide political action committee, is
having its first meeting to promote passage of the WCCLS levy in the March 23,
1993 election. It is important for every library supporter to be informed and
involved if this campaign is to be successful. Please make sure that at least
one representative from your library or community attends.
Shirley Huffman and Wes Yuen have agreed to co-chair the 1993 campaign and
Gail Schultz has agreed to continue as treasurer.
Discussion at the meeting will focus on:
1) HOWwill People for Libraries publicize the levy (mailing brochures? canvasing
neighborhoods? buying billboard space? telephoning?)
2) WHO will accomplish these activities and HOW will the activities be
funded?
3) HOW will the funds be raised and WHO will do the "raising"?
4) WHO will serve as the contact person from each city or community to the
levy campaign?
P.S. If you (or other library supporters you know) haven't exceeded your 1992
Oregon Political Tax Credit ($50 per individual: $100 per couple), please
consider a donation to the 1993 Library Levy before December 31. For more
information about the meeting or about People for Libraries, contact Shirley
Huffman, Wes Yuen (629-8685) or Gail Schultz (646-3131).
This notice was mailed to all Cooperative Library Advisory Board Members &Alternates, Public
Library Directors, Library Board Chairs, Friends Group Chairs, and past campaign supporters.
