;III Mrs. McIntyre's Family Nights at the Library were excellent. One of
her programs which brought Astronaut Major Donald H. Peterson to the Bryan
Civic Auditorium was attended by an estimated 1000 people. Her program on
Christmas in other lands was outstanding.
Dr. Walton's Great Books Discussion Group meets one night each month.
This group, attendance which averages from ten to fifteen, is led by Dr.
Jay Martin. Enthusiasm is high, the membership is varied, the discussions
stimulating. We will begin on the second series of books in October.
Mrs. Casarez's special interest has been the record collection. She
with the help of Dr. Jay Martin, has ordered many new records for the col-
lection. They are being cataloged and processed and will in the next few
weeks be ready for circulation.
Mr. Dunn and Dr. Crawford have been in charge of the continuous slide
collection, United States and International. The Library now has a fine col-
lection. The slides are used constantly in the auditorium and on our rear
projection theaters.
In the two years Judge McDonald was on the Library Board we received
the best possible legal advice. He was of the greatest service to us in these
and financial matters.
For their many contributions, their advice, their untiring vigilance, I
wish to thank the Board. They are indispensable to the smooth running of
the Library.
City Government
We havebeen fortunate in the last two years in having a City Com-
mission which has taken a concerned interest in the Library. They have been
