resolution to change the duties of Library Board members in the

Board for their proactive role in updating the TMC. Miller highlighted
the Library Bill of Rights, Freedom to Read, Freedom to View and
Free Access to Libraries for Minors for the new Board members.
The Board and Miller also discussed the policy on Reconsideration

before the next Board meeting.

1. Miller presented the idea of Focus Groups from the community.
The Library Board will study the possibility.
2. The budget pages for FY 1991-92 were studied. The increase
in all aspects of the budget for the past few years was noted.
Miller reported the purchase of new non-fiction shelving, CD-
ROM and on-line products as big events for the library this year
to increase space and access to information.
DeBernardis noted that the fines collection continues to
increase and asked if fines collection can be called something
