1968
A Microfilm Reader and a New Librarian
Members elected Lorraine Hales president on January 31, 1968. The Friends committed Flake memorial funds to a microfilm reader. Between May and September, the Flake fund paid $270 to University Microfilm. In February, the board scheduled a March membership drive. It authorized protective sleeves for the minutes book. Maud Gryka gave nonfiction books. The board bought recorded music. The Friends held a benefit on May 25. In September, the board proposed a theater fundraiser and planned an October 16 reception to welcome librarian Lucille Chitwood. In November, the board postponed the theater project. It also bought reference books and proposed a bylaw on officer attendance. In December, the Friends announced a Christmas Sing-Spiration for December 17. They looked ahead to their tenth anniversary in 1969.
