Record of Proceedings Relating to Howell Carnegie Library Howell, Michigan Pages 072-073

Description

Howell Carnegie Library board minutes and ledger entries approved by the board.

that this board considers its previous action in regard to the adopted policy for club room use as fair and proper. Seconded by Mrs. Williams Motion carried unanimously.

It was reported that janitor services had been divided between Theodore Shindorf who is to receive $60 a month and his brother, Albert Shindorf, who is to receive $40 a month. They are to confer with the librarian on an understanding of who is responsible for the various duties each will perform.

There was informal discussion on a proposal to increase the library board from three to five members. The State Library Board recommends the five-member plan for Howell. Reference to the city Charter shows this board is to consist of three members but none of this board was of a mind to object to an amendment to provide for the larger number, should city officials desire it. It was suggested one of the new members should be a Councilman to facilitate library board action with City Council policies. Should there be such action it was further recommended any new appointees be for staggered terms at the time of the original appointment. Mrs. Williams voted these matters be voted as the recommendations to the Council from this board. Seconded by Mr. Merritt. Carried unanimously.

Meeting adjourned. Leslie B. Merritt, Secretary.
