libraries are ready to go on-line. Tigard expects to be ready the first
of February. The public access-catalogs will be activated later in the

DEDICATION PLAQUE:
Walt Munhall reported that he had investigated the cost of a bronze
dedication plaque for the library and it would cost between $400 and
$500. The Board asked Munhall to check other options.
PUNCH LIST:
Munhall reviewed the current status of problems in the library building,
i.e. , leaks in the roof and book drop, poor lighting. He reported that it
is possible that the City will pay someone else to make the necessary
repairs and dismiss current unfulfilled contracts. Some of the lighting
problems may be related to design and in that instance recourse will be
made to the architect. Other lighting problems will have to be corrected
by the City.
LET'S TALK ABOUT IT:
Librarian gave a report on the adult humanities program planned for this
spring. The program is funded through a grant (Title I, Library Services and
Construction Act) and will consist of 5 sessions. The theme is "Being Ethnic,
Becoming American: Struggles, Successes, Symbols". Each session is led by a
local scholar and volunteer discussion leaders. Materials are furnished
through the grant.
BUDGET FY 1987-88:
Librarian reviewed some items planned for next year's budget. Discussion
concerned personnel needs, increased book budget, work stations, and
storage in the work area. Board members requested that the budget reflect
the library's real needs.
