Will give a more detailed plan in June.
Committee met with City Manager and are working on process of making Library
part of City structure. City auditors had expressed concern about structure
of Library.
Bill Gooch reported Southwestern is contemplating going on fully automated system.
May be possibility of pooling automation system. Benefit would be to put certain
services on computer, therefore relieving personnel to be more efficient in their
jobs. Would cost money up front but would be a savings over the long run.
There is strong possibility of receiving waiver on federal money owed on present
building. Not likely we will get Title II money because of City population figures.
New Business: County Historical Commission wrote letter concerning repository
for archival materials. Board will consider and make decision on this at a
later date.
Issues - Police Dept. wanted parking in front of Library because fear people
will park at Police Station and walk to Library.

Chairman, Georgetown Library Board
1107 Main Street
Georgetown, Texas 78626
Dear Judge McCollough:
Because space in county facilities is at present non-existant and
future space is, at best, uncertain, the members of the Williamson County
Historical Commission have requested that I advise the Georgetown Library
Board of this commission's long -felt need of space for a depository for
archival materials and that I respectfully request your Board to consider
allocating space in the new library facilities to house a collection of
historic valuables such as documents, books, maps and photographs.
Such material would require only minimal space, but needs to be pre-
served in a safe place, in a methodical manner, under lock and key, where
its use could be monitored by qualified personnel and its future
availability would be assured. If, before making a decision, members of
the Library Board would be interested in touring a facility which now
serves (in minimal space) as an archival depository, Mrs Clara Scarbrough
has offered to accompany members of your Board on such a tour.
Because Georgetown is the county seat of Williamson County and
because so much of our material pertains to the Georgetown area, our
commission believes that an archival repository should be maintained in
Georgetown. We would be most grateful if the Library Board could see fit
to consider our request with favor.
Sincerely,
Z_ /;1
Laverne Faubion
Chairman, WCHC
