The Library Building Turns Thirty

Members reelected John Hales on January 15. They kept dues at $2 by a 6–3 vote and added $25 sponsor and $50 patron levels. In March the board declined outside use of its mailing list and chose to hand out author-series pamphlets at a sale. On June 17 members signed amended bylaws, funded shelving for interim sales and set aside up to $100 for the library building's anniversary. The Friends and the library marked the anniversary August 8 with a reception, historic displays and a souvenir history; the program listed Hales, Pat Gazin and Ron Schneider as speakers. In September the board covered a $42.07 overage and approved $400 from the Belasco fund for children's magazines. In December, after honor-sale losses, Hales offered to design a sign about theft, and the board asked Rotary for a written proposal for a joint sale.
