November 16, 1966
Minutes of the special meeting of the Board of Directors of the Skokie
Public Library held November 16, 1966.
Members present:
Conroy V. Erickson, L. O. Green, Mrs. W. C.
Griffin, Donald Kraft, Mrs. Daniel Petty, and Rabbi Karl Vleiner, Miss Mary
Radmacher, Librarian.
Rabbi Weiner, Chairman Pro Tempore, presided and explained the special
meeting was held for discussion of the release to the Press of the report submitted
by the President 1 s Citizens Advisory Committee on Library Expansion and the
recommendations contained in the report.
He also commented on the splendid
cooperation received from the Village Board.
Recommendations by the Program and Services Sub-Committee were discussed and resolved as follows:
(1) Adult film series - such a program was
featured last year and will be planned for the future; (2) Record listening facilities there is no room at the present time to accommodate this service; (3) Sunday
hours - the cost of this service is prohibitive; (4) A book drop - this will be
investigated again; (5) Greater use of the library as a cultural center - the Library
Board is fully in accord with this; (6) A formal relationship between the schools and
the library should be instituted to help alleviate some of the problems caused by
student use of the library - a fine relationship has existed between the schools and
the public library but this, too, should be accentuated; {7) Develop a program for
Senior Citizens - the Park District has sponsored many such programs but this is
something to plan for in the fu·fu\re.
(Procedures for better public relations)
(1) Annual report to taxpayers - while an annual financial report is: posted in the
Village Hall a report from the Library can be considered for the future; (2)
Description of services of the library to the public - (3) Contact newcomers to
the community and introduce library services to them - (4) Announcements of
special services that the library offers the community fro1n time to time - these
last three recommendations could be handled by more newspaper publicity and
�- 2 1
havii:tg the Welcome ·wagon s assistanc e in this capacity; (6) Involve the communi ty
in the expansion and improvem ents of the library such as:
scholarsh ips, develop a Friends of
th.~
endowme nts, gifts,
Library group - pros and cons of this were
mentione d and further discussio n postpone d to a later date; and (6) Print statemen t
of the Book Selection Policy.
Have all library policies and reports available to
the public at the library - the Library Board will continue to leave the Book
Selection to the judgment of Lthe Libraria n but will write a policy for the Library.

Recommendations,~ of the I.and and Buildings Sub-Com mittee:
{1) Alleviate
congestio n of single lane traffic on east side of library - this is somewha t solved
.
.
by the additiona l parking lot to the east and will be eliminate d when the expansio n
is complete d; (II) Expand to west - from a standpoin t of cost this would appear
prohibiti ve but further discussio n postpone d to a future date; {ID) If branches are
proposed , consider existing park sites because of (1) lack of suitable vacant sites
and exorbitan t cost of sites that are available or could be condemn ed {2) availabil ity
of parking space not available at the
11
store £ront 11 type branch - discussio n post-
poned to a later date.
Recomme ndations of the Finance Committ ee - there was evidence of
committe es working independ ently which produced some overlappi ng minor conflicting recomme ndations regarding branch sites.
Tax rate increases . will be
discussed with Citizens Committ ee.
Recomme ndations of Other Librarie s and Facilitie s Sub-Com mittee suggestio ns for use of existing facilities .
This will be discussed at a future date.
