10 The Bryan Public Library Board of Trustees held its regular .meeting at 5:00
P. M. in the Library.
Those members present were Dr. Paul Crawford, Mr. W. D. Dunn, Judge W. T. '
McDonald, Mrs. John McIntyre, Mr. R. L. Peurifoy, and Dr. T. T. Walton, Jr-. Mrs.
Hazel Richardson, the Librarian, was present.
Dr. Walton's quote: "Everywhere I `sought rest and found it not except sitting
apart in a nook with 'a little book." Thomas a Kempis.
The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved.
The book orders were approved. However, the Librarian reported at this point
that they would not be sent until it was determined whether there was money enough
in the budget for their purchase, or until we receive possible LSCA Title I funds.
Most of the City book budget had been spent early in the fiscal year in order that
we might -have as many new books in the. collection as possible when we moved into
• I the new building.
Reportp were given on the nine point program. Mrs. McIntyre said the first
family night at the movies would .be on January 29th in the auditorium Of the Library
and that she had already gotten out publicity to all news media. - Other programs
which would be held in the auditorium would begin after the sound system had been
installed. The Librarian reported that Mr. Sandlin had just called to say that
all parts 'of it had arrived except .the antenna and the microphone and that he was
looking for someone to install it.
Dr. Crawford reviewed- the dedication .exercises, and all members of the Board
agreed that everything had gone remarkably well:, the weather perfect, the crowd
very good, out of town dignitaries impressively numerous, the dedication speech
by Senator Yarborough exactly suitable and well received, ,and the reception given
by the Friends of the Library beautiful.
Mrs. Richardson reported the receipt of many gifts and expressions of
congratualtions from library' vendors, patrons and friends. She said she
would acknowledge all gifts.
IPIn new business first consideration was taken of the stairs. The
Librarian reported that complaints had been many and constant from mothers
who felt that the metal -costs were spaced too far apart and that there was
constant danger of a small child's falling through them. Mr. Peurifby pre-
sented a sketch he, in consultation with the Architect, had made, which
showed the placing of a DI x 4” walnut bar horizontally across the metal
posts. Judge McDonald moved the Board's approval of the Architect's re-
commendation and request that the City Manager get the Architect and con-
tractors to proceed with it. Mr. Dunn seconded the motion which passed.
Use of the parking area around the library was discussed. A motion was
made that Dr. Walton request the City Commission to have all library parking
area marked so and that one area be marked reserved for library staff park-
ing. Mr. Dunn seconded the motion which passed.
IPOn Personnel Mrs. Richardson reported the employment of Mrs. Judith.
Golding as Desk Assistant effective January 2, and Mrs. Linda Bloomer as
Bookmobile Librarian effective February 2.
The Librarian said she expected tb ,present to the Board at an early
meeting the survey She had been at work on of salary schedules and ranges
of selected public libaries in Texas. It was suggested by the Board that
the pay schedule and range of the Bryan Public School libraries and Texas
A&M University libraries be included.
The Librarian reported that the weekly radio program given by Mrs.
Hanna over KORA had been discontinued -- the last program being December 27;
the reason. for discontinuation that Mr. Mistovich had sold the time. The
Librarian was instructed to send Mr. Mistovich a resolution of appreciation
from the Board for the many years duration of this highly successful radio
I/
f
11 hour and its great benefit to the Library Program. Mrs. Richardson was
also asked to send the Board's resolution of appreciation to Mr. David
Garcia, who would be leaving the Board due to his moving from Bryan.
The Librarian advised the Board that she had been asked by Mary pound,
Editor of, the Texas Library Journal, to write an article on the new building _
for the Spring issue of the Journal.
Mrs. Richardson, who is a member of the LDC Subcommittee on public
Library Standards, reported on the Committee 's first meeting in Austin at
the State Library on January 8th. The committee's recommendations at this
meeting were.:
1. That TLA Public Libraries Division go on record approving the ALA
-Minimum Standards for Public Library Systems, 1966.
2. That TLA request that the- Library System Act Advisory Board in co-
.
APoperation with the Texas State Library and the Texas Library Association
appoint a representative committee including each type of library defined
by the Library System Act -- both librarians and trustees. This committee
will formulate standards for consideration by the Texas Library and Historical
Commission- as provided in the Library Systems Act.
