Dr. Walton's quote for the month was:

The minutes of the last meeting were approved as read. The statistics for
the month were examined and Dr. Crawford noted a substantial increase in circulation.
Dr. Crawford and Mrs. Richardson presented letters of acceptance from Senator
Ralph Yarborough to give the address at the-dedication of the new building on
December 14 at 3:00 P. M. .Dr. Crawford asked the Librarian to send copies of the .
acceptance--letters to Norman Beal. -
The program for the dedication was planned. It was decided that Dr. Walton
should ask the Reverend H. Bailey Stone to give the invocation and that Mr. Garcia
should ask Monsignor Valenta to give the benediction. Dr. Crawford said he would
arrange for the bands of S.F.A. and Kemp -High Schools to give preliminary music.
After the invocation the Mayor would give his welcome. Dr. Crawford would acknowl-
edge and welcome distinguished guests and officials, present and past board members,
past Presidents of the Friends, former librarians, presidents of civic, cultural,
and historical clubs.

at which "they had decided to give the reception which would immediately follow
the dedicatory ceremonies. They will print the invitations and the brochures
which will include the program for the day.
- A discussion was held on the various sign problems at the new building. It
was agreed that Mr. Dunn should call Mr. Sandlin to find out what the City Commission
�- had decided to do about the signs on the outside of the building.
It was decided that the signs Mr. Hardeman was making for the Rountree Room
should be paid for from the Brandon estate funds.

the furniture on the second floor reading area. It was decided that on adjournment
