GENERAL MEETING FEBRUARY 20, 1974
The meeting was called to order by Betty Ryan at 10:45 A.M.
Minutes were read by the new recording secretary, Gini Hope and they were approved as read.
Our fantastic budget was read by our new treasurer, Isolda Whitney and it too was approved as read.
Gini Hope has tried to get a rack for records in the chilren section but found out it was impossible as children under the age of 13 cannot check out records without an adult.
We had a debate as to what to do with our carry-over money - a dictionary was suggested - also a painting was suggested but the motion was dropped for lack of a second and interest.
There was a Committee for Children appointed to arrange for the purchase of a rug or bean bags in the childrens area. Those on the comittee will be [illegible], Carol Tanner, Patricia Gazin, Alice Lovelace and Gini Hope.
It was moved and seconded that the FOL purchse plaques for local authors - it was discussed and decided we would purchase a wooden plaque with individual plates naming same. This was also approved for the past presidents but there was a controversy as to how the name should read. I.E. Mrs. Ms. - husbands name of womans first name - I believe it was decided on woman's first name.
Betty Evans takes care of the Califonia Collection and is in the process of purchasing "Last Days of Calif." and wants to purchase "Golden Days" which involves different eras.
It was moved and 2nd that Isolda Whitney disburse $32.50 to Betty for the purchase of the book.
In regards to the Flake Collection, I have purchased 11 childrens records plus the Beethoven Bi-Centennial which has been a big hit. I am now in the process of getting Wagners "The Ring".
We also appointed Bill Wofford as chairman of Children's Day Contest - in conjuction with Parks and Recreation. No date has been decided.
Under new business Carol Tanner was authorized to subscribe to the Easy Reader.
Our thanks to Carol Tanner and Jane Turner for a new revelation to our newsletter. They did a great job. Get it on!
There was brief discussion on story telling time and was surmised it would be mainly summer time

Min. 2-20-74 pg.2
Evening meetings were also discussed and although the men were basicly against it, it seemed to be a good idea to have them with the idea of cutting the business part down so that more peole will come and not lose interest. This too will be discussed at a later date as how to handle it.
Charlote Malone wants all board members to please be paid up as it would look nicer.
The meeting was finally adjourned at 11:50 A.M. at which time everyone raced for lunch!
Respectively yours,
Gini Hope
