Reports: Minutes of the previous meeting were approved.

Old Business:
Building Plans- The Board discussed the plans for a building in general terms.
The location of a site was deemed the first priority. Yvonne
Burgess suggested that the use of modular units be a consideration
in holding costs. The Librarian presented letters from local
architects expressing interest. The Board decided that it
was too early to hire architects and instructed the librarian
to write letters of acknowledgment.
CETA Employees Librarian reported that a second CETA youth had been hired to
work five hours each afternoon. There has been no word on
the application for a full-time CETA II.
New Business•
Charge System Librarian reported that increased circulation has put a real
strain on personnel handling the manual check-out system.
Mistakes are more numerous causing problems with the overdues
particularly. Therefore the Librarian will investigate two
Gaylord machine-charge systems and have one installed as soon
as possible. Board concurred.
December meeting: Jeri Cundiff moved that the December meeting be cancelled.
Motion was seconded and passed.
