The meeting was called to order at 7:30 by President John Hales. The minutes of the Board meeting held September 11, 1991 were approved.
TREASURER'S REPORT: Treasurer Bill Malone reported December book sale proceeds of $1,501.90 and interim sales for the quarter of $670.58. Interim sales of $2,206 in 1991 showed a dramatic increase over the 1990 total of $1,573.
OLD BUSINESS: Suggested revisions to the Bylaws were distributed and will be discussed and voted on at the January 15, 1992 Annual Membership Meeting. President John Hales reported that the County Friends of the Library (FOL) meeting was well attended and worthwhile. Bookmarks announcing the 1992 book sale dates have been printed and are being distributed. A followup discussion to the previous recommendation that a lift truck be obtained to move tables for the book sale resulted in the consensus that it is not necessary at this time. Library door width would not allow for optimal use.
1992 SLATE OF OFFICERS: The slate of officers for 1992 is: President - John Hales, Vice President - Steve Hoffman, Treasurer - Bill Malone, Recording Secretary - Nikki Humbarger, and Corresponding Secretary - Bertha Dorsey.
NEW BUSINESS: Booksale Chairman Charlotte Malone reported that some books leftover from the recent sale would be donated to El Camino College and that a book store in Mexico had expressed interest in purchasing the remaining inventory. Pat Gazin announced that the San Joaquin Valley History had sold for $50. President John Hales recommended that membership dues be increased to at least $4. This topic will be discussed at the Annual Membership Meeting and the membership application will not be mailed until after a decision is made. Charlotte mentioned the need for guidelines related to pre-sale of books earmarked for the
