April 8, 1964
Minutes of the regular meeting of the Board of Directors
of the Skokie Public Library, held in the Conference Room of the
Library April 8, 1964, at 7: 30 p. m.
Members present:
Conroy V. Erickson, Mrs. W. C.
Griffin, L. 0. Green, Rabbi Karl Weiner, antj. Miss Mary Radmacher,
Librarian.
Also present: Mrs. M. Sarver for the purpose of recording
the minutes.
Minutes of the previous meeting, held March 25, were
received and read.
Correction on page three in the wording of the
motion by Mr. C. V. Erickson, to read:
11
That a letter of acceptance
and commitment be sent to Hammond and Roesch for preparation of
preliminary plans for expansion of this building.
11
Mr. Green directed
the correction to made and when so done the minutes stand approved
as read.
The statement ·for the General Fund was reviewed.
Motion
was made by Mr. Erickson and seconded by Rabbi Karl Weiner as follows:
Motion: That the unexpended balance of forty-two thousand
nine hundred fifty-six dollars and ninety-six cents
{$42, 956. 96) in the operating budget at April 30,
1964, be transferred to the Reserve Fund for Sites
and Buildings.
All members present voted affirmatively.
The president reported that he had followed the recommendation
of the Board to honor Mr. Wesley Gibbs 1 request as discussed at the
previous meeting and had attended the meeting of the Village Trustees,
at which time a letter was submitted to Mr. Marsh requesting postponement of a ruling on the zoning of the property north of Old Orchard Junior
High School.
Mr. Wesley Gibbs reported that the Village had given them
�forty-five days to decide whether they could or would purchase the property.
More action on this project will be .discussed at a meeting
Monday evening, April 13, at Old Orchard .Junior High.
T.he president
requested as many of the Library Board members as possible to attend
the meeting and asked for a statement on what commitment could be made
for the Library in connection with the purchase of this land.
He further
explained that a commitment to purchase that particular piece of property
did not mean the Library would relinquish the idea of purchasing the
property between the present building and the Village Hall.
It was pointed out that prior to the time the land between the
present building and the Village Hall became uppermost because of the
danger of losing it, all the consideration of additional land had been for
property in the northern area.
Because of the scarcity of available
property in this as well as other areas of Skokie, it would seem prudent
to purchase the land and hold it against such time as appropriation for
building could be had rather than lose it and have no land upon which to
build.
It was also noted that under·the new ordinance the Village can
is sue bonds without a referendum.
Although in building a branch there will be duplication of
expensive reference ma_terials, if this is the only library building
'
.
.
.
duplications must be purchased eventually because the demand for reference material will be as great whether it is from one building or two.
The president requested the members to think about the
purchase of the land and be prepared to make a
decision;~,
if necessary.
He further stated it is becoming necessary to work out a more definite
long range program for expansion and building of branch libraries.
