On June 18 the board accepted Jack Belasco's June 14 letter extending his matching gifts to the memorial fund through 1990. Bill Malone, Jack Belasco and the current president would administer the fund. The Committee to Elect Jim Rosenberger gave $395.04, and the board authorized $1,000 for general titles. The August 16 Libations at the Ryan home included a John Hales auction. In September the board planned a meeting on adding a second story. On December 17 it received Jack Belasco's $1,100 match and authorized $1,000 from the memorial fund for children's programs and a separate $1,000 gift for library books. It also began to study the LePac catalog system.
