The group will take two months off in the summer and has scheduled an ice cream social for September 16th. Cooperative Library Advisory Board (CLAB) report was given by Library Director on behalf of alternative representative Vince Matarrese. The main item of discussion was a report that had been presented to the CLAB at its meeting on June 9th, regarding the admission of new public libraries to the Washington County Cooperative Library Services. Role of the Library Board: This item was rescheduled for the September meeting when it is expected that a full Board will have been appointed. Rental Collection: Library Director described a plan for buying extra copies of best sellers and putting them into a rental collection so that they can be more readily available to the public and also justify the purchase of the extra copies. Paul Hoefling moved to establish a rental collection for the library. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously. History of the Library: DeBernardis presented a suggestion for enlarging the current history brochure by using newspaper clippings and reproductions of newspaper pictures that trace the history of the library. This item will be considered as a future project. Budget Update 1989-90: Library Director reviewed the decisions that had been made by the City Administrator affecting the library budget. Instead of 1.5 FTE, the library will receive .75 FTE. Some cuts were made in the capital outlay budget but the book materials budget of $75,000 will remain intact. Expansion of the Library: Library Director reported that in talking with the City Administrator it has been decided that any applications for grants or specific plans for expansion of the library will be held in abeyance until a ccaplete expansion package can be put together for the whole City Civic Center to present to the City Council. It is hoped that this will be acoorrplished within the year. Recreation Program Update: Library Director reported that the month of May pilot program for educational/recreational type programs had been very successful. The one problem in some instances was that people did not show up for the programs. However, this was not a serious problem and it is felt that any programs in the future for which a fee is charged the attendance will be more consistent with the registration. Adjournment: 8:00 p.m. Respectfully Submitted, Irene E. Ertell Library Director cp/Library M:\OFFSVCS\
