Library Board Meeting - Tuesday, July 5, 1988 at 12:00 noon
"embers present: Marjorie Youngman, -�+ancy Benold, Marcus .Pritchett,
Linda Davis, Judy Duer.
Old Business:
1. City Council approved our resolution authorizing library staff
to negotiate contract for computer system with DYNIX.
2. Judy has gone over proposed budget with Bob Gaylor and made some
modifications. Maintenance of automation system was cut to
.major items only, which should not be a problem. Book acquisition
was shifted to capital expenditures which could be troublesome
in the future. Final council approval of budget will be in August.
3. Value Line reference materials have arrived, and Standard and
Poor's Business reference collection has been ordered; both
purchased with GTE grant money.
4. Rocks have been removed from courtyard walkway. Board agreed
to get estimates on filling gap with concrete.
5. Don Schmidt of the Men's Garden Club will present request for
courtyard design to garden club members at their August meeting.
New Business:
1. Board approved Judy's request to purchase set of children's
biographies with United Way funds.
2. Jim Richardson of Dallas will conduct the CTLS workshop on
fund raising at our library later this month.
3• The Humanities Resource Center has a moving exhibit on censorship
available. Discussed censorship policies as they relate to our
library.
4. Judy shared a very complimentary letter received from Literacy
Council staff concerning service of our library staff.
5. Story hour is almost too popular. ;with the good news of many new
library cards issued comes the consequent problem of noise and
logistics of reading to so many children and then checking out
books for them. Next year's program will be revised.
NEXT BOARD MEETING WILL BE AUGUST 2, 1988, at 12:00 NOON IN THE LIBRARY.
Respectfully submitted,
Linda Davis

have a limit on enrollment: I can teach 5 or 50!, . I would. . llike'.
to charge $10 per person, simply to cover my.time ,and. expeni�es;1;.-..
could have a si gn-up-sheet and small promotional siqri:'66.'the

feel that there would be no problem in filling the class arid.
stimulating interest in library use.
I would also be available to teach a course for working people

I have a BA in Social Sciences, Secondary Education from Baylor
University, have taught high school in the Austin Independent
School System, and am on the staff of the Mood -Heritage Museum.
I have worked on familyLhistory for 12 years, have taken numerous
seminars, and have been active in LIAR, DRTI and the Williamson
County Genealogical Society. Last fall, I taught my -first
"Beginning Genealogy" course to 16 adults through the Georgetown
Community Education Program. I have found, however, that most
people interested in Genealogy would rather take a daytime class,
rather than a class at night.
Please.let me know regarding your interest in this course.'
