It was moved by Mrs. Hock and seconded by Mrs. Gatesman that the pages now receiving $.40 an hour be raised to $.45 and after a certain period of time to $.50 This is to be the maximum. There was a unanimous vote.

It was moved by Mr. Lyons and seconded by Mrs. Gatesman, that fines now $.02 per day be raised to $.04 to be effective September 1, It now costs the library $5.00 per week to notify patrons of overdue books.

Because Mr. Filkins from whom Mrs. Hight orders the magazines cannot complete with the (?) prices of a Jackson firm, Mrs. Hight feels it necessary to order from Jackson in the future. She also announced the resignation of Jerri Fisher, her assistant on September 1.

A schedule of help and their hours was presented for our records by Mrs. Hight. Mary Jan O'Lone is assistant librarian for the present, though this has not actually been announced.

Mr. Shindorf will be on vacation in October and it will be necessary to replace him during that time and to assist Mr. Daniels, for three days a week. At some future date it may become necessary because of their age to replace both Mr. Shindorf and Mr. Daniels.
