a book from their shelves that they had complaints about.
Dr. Wozniak commented that he had noted that three of the trustees
at the Oak Lawn Public Library who had voted to retain the book in question
at that library had been re-elected and that was a good sign.
Mrs, Merrit in referring to a Lincolnwood Public Library lecture
said that she was under the assumption that libraries cannot charge for their
functions.
Miss Radmacher said that it is the Skokie Public Library's policy
not to charge, but each library makes its own policy.

days in the Daily Herald regarding library funding.

1982-1983, that Mrs. Radmacher had set up.
She.said that she had tried
to deal with the inflationary spiral in her figures.

should be raised by more than 10%.
He made the following motion, seconded
by Dr. Wozniak:

That the book and periodical budget for i982-1983
be increased 20%, instead of the 10% as in the
budget reconunendations.

for beginning professional librarians.

a librarian with a master's degree from an accredited library school and without
experience is being paid $10,920.00 by the Skokie Public Library.
In order
to prepare a salary scale some input is necessary regarding a starting professional
salary.
Dr. Wozniak said that he would like to know what the mean salary of
the staff is in order to work out starting salaries in relation to the
salaries of those who have been with the Library for many years.
Miss Radmacher
will make up a salary chart of the personnel for the trustees to look over
at the next meeting.

spoke with her regarding our concern about receiving state funds for automation if we do not use CLSI.

the decision as to who gets funds and the State of Illinois would be
satisfied if they got a statement from the System as to the fact that the
libraries are able to communicate (even if it is by telephone).

Grove Public Libraries• representatives discussing future automation plans.

commitment for $5,000 as its share of the
consultant fee to J. Matthews & Associates,
for the services of Mr. Matthews as a consultant to the Skokie, Deerfield and Morton
Grove Public Libraries for alternative
approaches for a cost-sharing agreement and
formula to be developed as well as an
evaluation and data processing needs of each
library.

not properly dealt with by not being told in advance
