GEORGETOWH PUBLIC LIBRA OF OPPORTUNITY"
Library Board Meeting: Oct.3, 19899 12:00 noon ' .
Members present: Nancy Snead, Nancy Benold, Mary Beth Huba,
Jean-Marie Mendez, Marcus Pritchett, Dorian Sullivan, and Judy
Duer
Old Business:
1. The minutes of the Sept.5,189 meeting were aprroved as '
submitted.
E. The Budget was approved by the City Council as submittid.
S. The price of two secyrity cameras, including all required extra
equipment, is S4,104 plus the labor to install the cameras.
However, we could reduce this cost by $885 if we did not purchase
a monitor, and instead had the cameras monitored at another
location, such as the police station (assuming.they have a
monitor).
Furtherj the equipment could be rented for approximately
$100-$125 per month, although a firm price quote has not been
obtained on this.
' It was noted that the Board has $2,232 in it's checking account
as of June 30, which could be used to pay for rental for six'
months to determine the effectivepens of the cameras. An
appropriate six month peribd would have to be selected.
M.Pritchett moved (N.Benold 2nd) that Nancy Snead be authorized
to obtain a vendor pfice quote on the purchase, lease -purchase,
and rental of the camera equipment as required for the Library `
needs. Approved by the Board., '
Note: D.Sullivan left at this point, but there was still a quorum.
4. N.Snead moved (N.Benold 2nd), and the Board approved, that -
Robert Horrick and Judy Duer be appointed to look into acquiring
microcomputers for public use, as the Library already has a grant
from GTE ($5,000) and IBM /$2000) for this purpose.

Library Baord: Oct.3, continued
New Business:
1. We have received a letter from from the Christm@s Stroll
(Dec.1&2) committee requesting a donation and participation.
M.Pritchett moved (N.Benold 2nd), and the Board approved, that
we offer a $25 donation on the condition that we can have a Book
Sale at the Stroll.
Also, M.Huba and J.Duer will do a Story Hour at the Stroll,
which will probably be repetitive short segments.
2. If we do not have a Book Sale at the Stroll, we will have'one at
some other date in the Courtyard.
3. The Christian Record Services has offered to supply the Library
with a large print magazine, which they publish, at no charge. We
authorized J.Duer to accept this.
4. Dorain Sullivan and Winfred Bonner terms on the Board will
'
expire Dec.31 this year, and therefore we should all try to ' '
recruit replacements.
In addition, Jean-Marie Mendez' term is also expiring at the
same time, as she completed Parker's term, and therefore she needs
to be reintstated.
5. Other miscellaneous business was addressed. First, it was
brought to Judy's attention by a patron that if the egg coupon
received by HEB Select CiYcle customers is not used for eggs, but
.instead returned to HEB, HEB will will contribute $1 to our
Library for each coupon so sWbmitted. A box will be placed i" HEB
and the Library for collection of these coupons. '
Also, it was brought -up Xhat t|*sre is a need for the Library to
obtain a coffee pot meetinqs (such as CTLS). This will
be addressed again later.
Judy will look into getting signs on Austin Ave. and the Square
letting the public know where the Library is.
We may also look into getting a Friends of the Library group '
going again.
The automation project had its first full -load test this
morning, and it performed very well.
Finally, the "due date" stickers are extremely difficult to
remove from the books, but this is being looked into.
The next meeting will be Tuesday, Nov.7,'89, at 12:00 noon in the
LibVary Board Room.
The meeting was adjourned at 1:10p.m.
