Library Board Meeting, page two
Nov.6,1990 f
5. The Art Committee presented a Graft Art Policy Agreement.
Generally, a separate committee will be established by the Library
Board, and this committee Has the sole right of judgement in
deciding questions of artistic merit. This approach was taken so
that qualified individuals could be obtained for the committee,
and to take the responsibility off the Board. However, the
committee would report monthly to the Board. Also, it was
suggested that the committee work with MaryPat to corro_dinate
exhibits with activities going on in the Library. The`Committee
would be provided a small beget fc-ir operating expense=__
All Board members should read the draft before the next
meeting, at which time it will be further discussed and voted on,
Note: R.Horrick left at 12:55, ending quorum.
6. Preliminary results of the collection development survey were
discussed ( & distributed). Generally the comments are good,
including Library hours and the collection. High use areas
included Fiction, Popular non-fiction, & children's books.
Additional reference & school books have been requested. Only a
few (14) patrons requested Sunday hours. The survey has run in
the local newspaper. The final results of the survey will be
discussed ne>,t r11o1-)tf-1.

We received a Thank -you note from TCI IS for our support of
their- meeting. Parker McCollcuyh is our- delegate, and Hartley
Sappington is the alternate delegate.
It was noted that the actual life of the computer terminals
seems to be about- three years oath er the orginal five -years
projected.
About 20 individuals attended the CTLS meeting. A goal of
restructuring CTLS to be more responsive to librarians needs, and
to operate separate from Austin, were set.
The City has included our trash cans on a twice -a -week
collection schedule, and will spray for ants.
The public copier is in bad condition, but Texas Copy will
replace it with a newer used machine.
The meeting adjourned at 1:30. The -next meeting is Dec.4. In
addition, the Reciprocal Bovoi,-.ring Agreement will be presented to
the City Council. All Board members are urged to attend that
