Call to Order The regular meeting of the Library Board was called to
and Roll Call order by Chairman Betsy Chick at 7:35 PM.
Excused: Jim Sidey. Guest, Friends of Library, Sharon
Takahashi.
Reports: Minutes of the previous meeting were approved. The monthly
report for July was reviewed. It was noted that publicity
for library programs does not get a lot of local newspaper
space-
Old Business:
Serial Levy Contract Yvonne Burgess and Jean Carlisle reported on the meeting
they attended July 11, at which time the serial levy contract
was finalized. It was noted that the original requirement to
purchase materials was reduced considerably and that the com-
puterized circulation system was also removed.
Computer The Librarian reported that at a meeting of the Computer Circu-
Circulation lation Ccrrmittee on July 31, the decision was made to continue
preparation for getting Beaverton Library on-line during FY 79-
80. Each city will contract separately with the county for the
oamputer system when they are ready to go on-line.
Building Plans Dick Bendixsen reported that his inquiries regarding available
land revealed that suitable locations are relatively scarce.
In talking with a realtor he learned that to build a 20,000 sq. ft.
building will probably require not less than 50,000 sq. ft. ,
possibly 60,000 sq. ft. to acccmTcdate landscaping and parking.
Dick will get in touch with Otto Sorg and report on feasibility
of acquiring the present cite.
New Business:
Labor Day Closure The Librarian stated that the library staff had requested
establishing the precedent of a three-day closure (Saturday
thru Monday) on Labor Day. The Saturday before Labor Day is
usually a low circulation day and this past summer, Saturdays
have all been low circulation. Dick Bendixsen moved that a
three-day Labor Day weekend for all library employees be es-
tablished as policy. Motion was seconded and passed unanimously.
Meeting adjourned 8:30 PM.
Respectfully suubnutted,
