WCCLS Update - Closure Contingencies
Think of some possible requests that would benefit new library.
We will need to discuss what we want to do about summer reading
participation and card fees in the event that WCCLS isn't funded
for 1985-86. Should the children who sign up for summer reading
in June and living in the unincorporated area be allowed to check
out books after July 1? There are various aspects to be considered
regarding monitoring use of certain "W" cards. Should voteless
children be penalized? How much should we charge for a card?
Should it be 100% of cost or marginal?

Reports Minutes of the previous meeting were approved as written.
Monthly report was reviewed briefly by Librarian. There
was some discussion concerning the current budget process.
Members were urged to attend April 23 meeting. (Meeting
later canceled and rescheduled for May 1.)
Friends of the Library report was given by Susan Mueller.
She reviewed the progress on preparing for the rummage sale
to be held April 12, 13 and 14, urging members to get their
donations in early. She also reported that volunteers would
soon begin addressing envelopes to library users soliciting
funds for new furniture. Walt Munhall announced that the
Tigard Art Club had formally presented a painting (still in
progress) to the City to be hung in the new library. The
painting depicts early Tigard Main Street with a composite
of buildings which were on Main Street one time or another.
Mary Spies Mary Spies, Lee Loveland Associates, presented a furnishings
(Lee Loveland floor plan along with suggested types of furnishings and colors
Associates) for upholstery, shelving and carpets. Discussion centered
mainly on the lounge chairs and study chairs. The concensus
was to look at some different lounge chairs that had less
upholstery and to consider more contemporary study chairs
to match the tables. It was also requested that less expen-
sive pieces be used in any plan. The color scheme was con-
sidered appropriate.
WCCLS Librarian reported on meeting with City Managers on April 5
(following defeat of WCCLS levy March 26) . This group voted
to recommend to the Citizens Advisory Board a $2.4 million
(for the first year) fixed rate levy for three years. No
concensus was reached on whether to hold the election in May
or June. On April 6, the Citizens Advisory Board met and
recommended a June election for a fixed rate levy equivalent
to $2.4 million in the first year, for three years.
Civic Center Update Susan Mueller reported that the City Council would be asking
for bids at its meeting that same evening (April 8) . She

and U.S. Congress concerning the threat of no federal funding
for libraries. Board members were urged to write letters.
