BOOKMOBILE
The contract proposal (attached) submitted by The Gerstenslager Co.
for the BooJanobile was carefully studied by the trustees.
It was also noted
that approximately $15,000.00 will have to be spent for electrical outlets.
The trustees also noted that although Mr. Robert Moroney, President
of Thomas F. Moroney Co., a manufacturer of Bookmobiles, has been contacted by
phone, we have not received a proposal or communication of any kind from this
company, and The Gerstenslager Co. is the only company from whom we re-
�-6-
ceived a proposal.
Mrs. Hunter then made the following motion, seconded
by Mr. Flintrup:
MOTION:
Since no other bona fide proposal has been received, the
Board of Trustees of the Skokie Public Library accepts the
contract proposal from The Gerstenslager Co. in the amount
of $71,818.00 for the 26-foot Bookmobile, $7,486.00 for an
Onan 15,000 watt Generator installed, and $389.00 for
delivery to Skokie, Ill., with terms as stated in the proposal.
Dr. Wozniak called the roll and the
motio~
passed unanimously.
Mr. Flintrup explained the letter (copy included with Board
materials) he received from Melinda Metzger of North Suburban Mass Transit
District, regarding Bookmobile accessability requirements.
He said the Book-
mobile would fall under the following proposed regulation as Ms. Metzger outlined in her memorandum:
"For purposes of this section, aids, benefits, and services, to be
equally effective, we are not required to produce the identical result or level of achievement for handicapped and nonhandicapped persons. They must, however, afford handicapped persons equal opportunity to obtain the same result, gain the same benefit, or reach
the same level of achievement in the least segregated setting
appropriate to the person's need."
Mrs. Hunter prepared the following statement regarding the handicapped
and libraries as follows:
"Historically, libraries have recognized the need to provide services
to all segments of the community --- libraries were in the forefront
of serving the handicapped. Large print books for the visually impaired, talking books for the blind, buildings that had access for
all, and even special services that are brought out to those who cannot physically venture to the library.
"We at the Skokie Public Library recognize these needs deeply and will
make all efforts to reach the entire community."
It was suggested to Miss Radmacher that an announcement be made in
the Village News regarding the Library's purchase of the Bookmobile, and
from whom the moneys were attained.
In that press release there could be
�-7-
an article as to the Skokie Public Library's programs and work that is done
with the handicapped.
Mr. Flintrup reported that the Niles Library is interested in our old
Boolanobile and the Board instructed Mr. Flintrup to pursue their interest.
CARPET
The carpet situation is still not resolved.
BROKEN WINDOW
The replacement for the window in Young People & Children's Department has been ordered but has not been received yet.
"PROFESSIONAL ENRICHMENT" PROGRAM
Miss Radmacher said she and Rabbi Weiner have discussed initiating a
Professional Enrichment Program for library staff members which could help
stimulate staff members as well as spark new ideas from them.
She said
she would like to include staff from the NSLS libraries and Mr. Flintrup
said he will bring this idea up at the next NSLS Board Meeting.
Rabbi Weiner said he would like to see a standing committee of professionals and board members who would keep exploring ideas for the program.
It was suggested that the first program could be:
"Effect of the
new census" or "What came out of the White House Conference."
The Board will think about this and it will be put on next month's
agenda.
INQUIRY RE NSLS PURCHASING TYPEWRITERS
Miss Radmacher said that she has been approached by the NSLS System
Reference Service Department to buy 4 nonworking electric typewriters
originally purchased in the early and middle 1960's.
The trustees gave
�-aMiss Radmacher authorizatio n to sell the typewriters to NSLS.
SALE OF DIRECTORIES
Miss Radmacher reported that the collection of old Chicago city
directories that were donated to the Skokie Public Library by Mr. Rowe are
in a brittle condition and unable to be rebound.
She said because of
their condition they can not be used by the public and the Library really
has no use for them.
She said the Library has been offered $2500.00 for
them by Kenan Heise and she recommends we sell them.
These directories
are available in the Newberry Library and in the Chicago Historical
Society Library.
The Adult Services Department staff concurs in our
disposing of them.
A discussion followed as to the Library's obligation regarding
selling the directories because they were a gift and it was decided that
Miss Radmacher will let Mr. Rowe know that we can not utilize the
directories and that we have been given an offer for them.
Miss Radmacher will also run an ad in order to see if there is
anyone else who might want to bid on the directories .
OVERDUE LIBRARY MATERIALS
The samples of collection letters were noted and Miss Radmacher
said Mr. Black was hoping to have the Skokie Public Library as a client
but the sample letters are not appropriate for a public library.
The
trustees do not want any part of this.
LETTER FROM STANLEY KUSPER JR. RE CONSOLIDATION OF ELECTIONS
The letter regarding the meeting to be held Thursday, August 21st to
�-9-
discuss the consolidation of elections was duly noted.
Mrs. Hunter and
Mr. Flintrup will attend that meeting and will bring back the answer regarding next year's election.
GIFT PLATE IN BOOK AS DONATION
Miss Radmacher recommended publicizing the idea of parents buying
a book as a gift to the Library on their children's birthday.
The Library
will put a gift plate in the book bearing the child ' s name and birth date
when the parents pay the purchase price of the book.
The trustee s thought this was a good idea and would like to see
it extended to adult books as well as children's books.
The meeting adjourned at 10:40 p . m.

of Skokie.
CIRCULATION REPORTS AND LIBRARY USE STATISTICS
The Circulation Reports were duly noted with the comments that everyone is pleased to see that the Library facilities are being used more all the
time.
The. Circulation Reports and Library Use Statistics were then placed on
file ..
CORRESPONDENCE
The letter from Mr. David Olan Meeker, Jr., of the American Institute
of Architectsf to Mrs. Hunter was duly noted.
PERSONNEL
Miss Radmacher reported that Helen Kowalczyk. has been appointed as
Chi.ldren •:s Librarian.
COMMENTS
Mr. Lindberg remarked that although he realizes. that the. American
Library Association
(~LA)
is. an important group acting as a clearing house
for pros in the library field, he feels that the Library Trustees should be
given a greater degree of importance by the ALA than they receive.
�-.a-
Rabbi Weiner commented that through the years he has attended .ALA
·meetings he has always been impressed by the high caliber of ALTA people
attending.
However, there is a kind of "Elks Club" approach in ALTA that
leads to, largely, the same circle of people returning every year, and to
programs not worthy of the intelligence of Library Trustees.
He wondered
why more people from suburban and urban libraries are not participating.
He said ALA should be made aware that the trustees from the urban areas
are at conventions to get greater skills by taking advantage of the great
variety of ALA concerns being discussed there.
Mrs. Zatz suggested that a letter should be written to ALA asking
that Library Trustees automatically become members of ALA, but Miss Radmacher
explained that all Library Boards are approached to become a part of ALA
but some Boards are not interested.
Mrs. Hunter suggested that since ALA is located in Chicago, we
should put together our ideas on how ALA could be improved and have a
meeting with the Executive Director.
Rabbi Weiner said we should·work on
the suggestion and come in with our ideas.
NORTH SUBURBAN LIBRARY SYSTEM
Mr. Flintrup reported that the NSLS budget will be very tight this
year and he thinks that we will see some changes and deletions in programs
because the System will not be able.::tb ,afford .them.·.
Relative to the computerization, he reported that CLSI is still
on top and CLSI is finally beginning to acquire hardware manufacturers.
He said there doesn't seem to be any desire to interface mainly because
the cost of interfacing is prohibitive.
He would like to see our Board
get involved with the computer and would advise that a Board member and
staff member represent the Skokie Public Library on the computor issue.
�-4-
REPORT ON SECURITY SYSTEM
Miss Radmacher reported that the Library has started to insert the
security strips in the new books.
She said Mr. Stowell, Mr. Hammond and Mr. Tworek met at the Library
regarding plans for installation of the system and will select the carpet
from Barsamian Carpets.
LETTERHEAD
Miss Radmacher said that she returned the letterhead samples to Mr.
Sample..
She said the consensus of opinion was to use the logo of the entrance
and east elevation of the building.
SUMMONS RE MR. BALTER
Mr. Lyon said that since Mr. Balter was not a Library employee, he
was not eligible. for Workmen's Compensation.
He was commissioned to do the
construction and installation of the. sculpture. and signed a contract with. the
Skokie. Publi.c Library as an independent ·contractor.
Mr. Lyon said that if
Mr. Balter goes to the insurance carrier, the insurance carrier will probably
come to the Library for witnesses'- testimony.
Mr._ Lyon does not think the
Library has to be concerned about this summons ..
CARPET
Miss: Radmacher told the Board and Mr. Lyon that the. extra carpeti.ng
which. is stored at Slater Company has. been found to be unuseable because the
bacJdng is delaminating from the wool surface...
She. asked Mr. Lyon how this
should be handled.
Mr.. Lyon said that everyone involved with the carpeting should be
notified that the. Library expects compens.ation for all the unused carpeting.
Miss Radmacher and Mr .. Lyon will draft a letter to the Slater
Company interior decorator, Lee. Carpet Company and the. archi.tect putting
everyone. on noti.ce regarding this· situation.
�. -5-
BROKEN WINDOW
Miss Radmacher reported another crack in a window, this time on the
north side of the Library.
The panes seem to break in the same fashion every
time.
BOOKMOBILE
Mr. Lyon was asked if we are legally required to have a Bookmobile
that will allow access for the handicapped, since it will be paid for with
revenue sharing funds.
Mr. Lyon said he thinks that something would have to be done, but
suggested we talk to the Bookmobile people about it since this would be
something they have had to deal with as the manufacturers of Bookmobiles.
Rabbi Weiner thanked Mr. Lyon, and Mr. Lyon left the meeting.
PROPOSED PLAN FOR LANDSCAPING THE VILLAGE GREEN
The order of the agenda was changed to accommodate the arrival of
Mr. Robert Molumby, Director of Planning and Mr. George Foscardo, Principal
Planner who presented the proposed plans for landscaping the Village Green
to the Board ..
The diagram of the proposed plan was displayed and after a brief
introduction by Mr. Molumby Mr.. Foscardo pointed out the locations of all the
lighting, trees (large and small), grass areas, sidewalk, etc.
He.
explained that the. plan was made. with. the idea of the Village.
Green being used for the Art Fair, the. Fine Arts Commission to be able. to
put on plays, concerts, etc •. ; benches will be scattered throughout the area
and the. center section will have a
l~ge
planter with.benches on either side.
Mrs· .. Merritt questioned Mr. Foscardo regarding the lighting as far
as safety is concerned.

Mr. Foscardo pointed out where the

Mrs. Hunter asked if it were possible to have more floral beds, and
Mr. Foscardo said that will depend on what the budget will allow.
Mr. Foscardo explained that the water retention area will be a depressed area but will be very attractive.
The sidewalks will be plain concrete and the center secion will be
scored concrete ..
Mrs. Zatz asked if there is any plan for contingency lighting.
Mr.
Foscardo said that provisions will be made when the electrical lines are put
in so that i f more lighting is nece.ssary i.t can be added,
Mrs. Hunter asked if a drinking fountain had been included in the
plans..
Mr. Foscardo said he will incorporate at least one drinking fountain
in the. plans ..
Mr.. Foscardo then put up the. Vill_age Hall landscaping plan so the
trustees could see the overall view of the two plans.
Mr. Molumby said he would take back. to the Village the following
recommendations made by the Library Trustees •.
J. - More li.ghting
2 - A drinking fountain
3 - More floral beds
Rabbi. Weiner thanked Mr. Molumby and Mr. Foscardo for showing the
plans. to the Board •.
ROOF
The trustees read the letter sent by Mr. Jos.eph Llewe.llyn in which. he
gave his report regarding the Library roof problems.
Mr. Lindberg commented that he felt that $8,000 is a good price to
take a chance on patching the roof.
Miss Radmacher explained where there
have. been leaks and she said Mr, Schiewe recommended taking the $8,000 figure
and having Mr.. Llewellyn recommend a roofer to patch the roof •.
�-7-
Mr. Lindberg made the following motion, seconded by Mrs. Hunter:
MOTION:
The Board approves the cost of $8,000 to effect
roof patching as recommended by Mr. Joseph Llewellyn,
and Mr. Llewellyn will be asked to recommend a roofer.
Dr. Wozniak called the roll and the motion passed unanimously.
Mrs. Zatz asked Miss Radmacher to convey
the Board •·s appreciation
to Mr. Schiewe for all his time and effort on behalf of the Library.
DISPOSITION OF OLD BOOKMOBILE
Miss Radmacher said that she had received an inquiry r.egardi.ng
buying the old Bookmobile for using in the Loop as a theatre ticket sales
booth.
She suggested he send the Library a letter regarding his interest
and she will then get back to him.
Mr. Flintrup suggested we ask Mr. Lyon what the legalities are
regarding the disposition of the Bookmobile, and Miss Radmacher will do
so.
Miss Radmacher reported that she had a long conversation with Mr.
Brod regarding the electrical outlets.
The cost is approximately $1,150
per stop to install seven or eight outlets, the existing outlets no longer
meet the electrical code requirements.
Also, the amperage. has to be.
increased from 60 to .100 amps.
Mr. Flintrup questioned the possibility of using the stops we
have now by putting in adapters, but Miss Radmacher explained that repairs
and adaptations could not be made because parts are no longer available.
Mr. Flintrup said he would like to have another electrical con-
tractor look over this situation and give his opinion as to whether we can
repair what we. now have, and do we need 100 amps.
Mrs. Hunter suggested
asking an ele.ctrical contractor in Glenview of whom she knows.
�-8-
Miss Radmacher asked the trustees to look over the two Bookmobile
manufacturer~•
plans and let her know what their preferences are.
She said
that we will have to tell the namufacturer exactly what we want, and then the
Bookmobile company will submit a bid.
Miss Radmacher.said she will notify
the trustees when Mr. Moroney comes to the Library in the Bookmobile he is
driving West, so they can come over and see it.
SIDEWALK
At the special meeting held June 18th, it was decided that we will
go our own way with the repairing of the sidewalk.
Mr. Flintrup suggested we call in Mr. Zera to give us an estimate
on repairing the sidewalk.
The following motion was made by Mrs. Hunter, seconded by Dr. Wozniak:
MOTION:
That the Skokie Public Library get estimates
from Mr. Zera and Mr. Stowell on repairing
the sidewalk.
Dr. Wozniak called the roll and the motion passed unanimously.
NOTE CARDS
The note cards made from the same design as the Season's Greetings
card were distributed.
They cost about four cents (4¢) apiece, card and
envelope, .and 1,000 of them have been printed.
It was decided that on the next run of the note cards, Mr. Balter's
name will be put closer to the illustration and in the area under the
illustration will be printed "SKOKIE PUBLIC LIBRARY WATERCOURT."
On the back of
the note card "Proceeds to Skokie Public Library Fine Arts Acquisition Fund" will
be printed.
Packets of cards could be sold in hotels, card shops, etc., but
the 1,000 that are on hand will be sold at' the Farmers' Market, the Library Book
Sale, and the Art Fair.
Stickers bearing SKOKIE PUBLIC LIBRARY WATERCOURT will
be affixed to the outside of the package.
�-9-
The following motion was made by Mrs. Hunter, seconded by Mr.

April 9, 1980
Minutes of the regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the
Skokie Public Library held Wednesday, April 9, 1980.
Rabbi Weiner noted that a quorum was present.
CALL TO ORDER
The meeting was called to order at 7:45 p.m.
Members present:
Rabbi Karl Weiner, President; Dr. John Wozniak,
Secretary; Mr. Walter Flintrup; Mrs. Shirley Merritt; Mrs. Norma Zatz; and
Miss Mary Radmacher, Chief Librarian.
Members absent:
Mrs. Diana Hunter, Vice President; Mr. Richard
Lindberg.
The order of the Agenda was changed to discuss the sidewalk problem
while Mr. Schiewe was in attendance.
SIDEWALK
Miss Radmacher asked that the Trustees read the letter that Mr.
Lindberg dictated to Mrs. Kozak regarding the sidewalk problems.
Mr. Schiewe made comments and suggestions as he read the letter.
He explained that the steel curbing is made in one piece.
Removal of it in
one piece would be impossible, and although the cost of the boring tests
discouraged the Board, Mr. Schiewe recommends going ahead with them.
Dr. Wozniak asked who the sub-contractor was who did the patching
last year.
Mr. Flintrup said he would like to know how much the patching
cost last time and what the cost of patching would be now.
Miss Radmacher
will look up records as to the cost of the last job.
Rabbi Weiner said that he feels the Board should be informed as to
the Library's actual money situation, what will be available, and what the
various needs will be before making any decision regarding how much work to
do on the sidewalk.
�-2-
It was decided that Mr. Flintrup and Mr. Lindberg will have
another meeting with Mr. Klein and Mr. Schiewe.
The Board thanked Mr. Schiewe for his time and effort.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Rabbi Weiner questioned the wording "matching grant" and "matching
funds" on Page 4 under Revenue Sharing Report.
It was decided the word
"matching" should be deleted.
Dr. Wozniak made a motion, seconded by Mr. Flintrup to approve the
The motion was approved unanimously .
minutes as amended.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Mrs. Merritt asked for an explanation of the item "To Purchase Repro
& Safe Keeping."
Miss Radmacher explained the word "Repo" is the bank's
abbreviatio n for "an agreement to sell and repurchase securities. "
The line
in the financial statement listed "To Purchase Repo & Safe Keeping" refers
to the total investment in the First National Bank of Skokie and the Old
Orchard Bank and Trust Company.
Mrs. Zatz asked about the $16,149.61 shown on the Year to Date Status
of Copying Machines.
Miss Radmacher explained that this money has not been
kept aside in a separate fund since 1975 but becomes a part of the general
operating budget.
It is the difference between amount of collections and
the costs for payment of copiers and the
supplies~
Mrs. Zatz made the following motion, seconded by Mr. Flintrup:
MOTION:
That the financial statements for the General Operating
Fund, the Reserve Fund for the Purchase of Sites &
Buildings, and the Year to Date Status on Lease-Purch ase
of Copying Machines, and the reports on the Fine Arts
Acquisition Program and the Selma Regan Petty Memorial
Fund be accepted, and that the lists of bills for the
General Operating Fund in the amounts of $18,544.80
and $532.76 be approved for payment, subject to audit.
The motion was approved unanimously .
�-3-
CIRCULATION REPORTS
Dr. Wozniak asked what the trend is in book circulation and Miss
Radmacher replied that it is on the increase nationally as well as in
Skokie.
She said the Children's Department has held its own in spite of the
sharp decline in children in Skokie.
The Circulation Reports were duly placed on file.
LIBRARY USE STATISTICS
The Library Use Statistics were duly noted and placed on file.
COMMENTS
Mr. Flintrup remarked that the Circulation Reports show that the
Skokie Public Library is above practically all the other libraries in the
System on reciprocal borrowing.
He said Arlington Heights is the only
library in the System that does not follow reciprocal borrowing policies
as accepted by other North Suburban Library System libraries.
Mrs. Merritt commented that she would like to see more publicity
given to the Library patrons as to the services available to them at the
Library.
She showed the Trustees a pamphlet from the Northbrook Library for
their information.
NORTH SUBURBAN LIBRARY SYSTEM
Mr. Flintrup commented that the System has not as yet finalized the
purchase of the land, but has signed a contract.
He said nothing else is
changed from standard operating procedures.
Mr. Flintrup explained the memo from Patricia Hogan regarding questions
for CLSI's Bud Keating regarding CLSI's equipment to be asked at the NSLS
Board meeting Monday, April 28.
He said that CLSI hopes to mollify the com-
plaints they are getting with this gripe session.
The letter from NSLS regarding a consultant was duly noted.
�-4-
REVENUE SHARING REPORT
Due to the absence of Mrs. Hunter, and since no decision on allocation
of funds from Niles Township has been made as yet, the Revenue Sharing Report
was tabled.
Mr. Flintrup remarked that from what he has heard from his
sources, there is a good possibility of getting $15,000 or so.
REPORT FROM SECURITY SYSTEM COMMITTEE
Mr. Flintrup reported on the Security System committee meeting
which was attended by Rabbi Weiner, Mr. Lindberg, Mr. Flintrup, Miss Radmacher
and Mr. Hammond.
Mr. Flintrup said that Mr. Hammond suggested placing the two gates in
the center of the lobby area between the desk and the glass wall in order to
get a more balanced effect and also to preserve the desk area.
The rest of
the committee was unhappy with this idea since they want to maintain the open
space which they feel is much more attractive.
Miss Radmacher said that Mr. Hanunond told her that on a time card
basis, the cost for designing the railing would be
$1~000.
The Board discussed
this cost and felt it was excessive.
Miss Radmacher showed the Trustees the sketch and letter from Frank H.
Stowell & Sons which estimates the cost of furnishing and installing the steel
and glass railing at $5,566.
Rabbi Weiner questioned whether we can accept
this proposal or do we have to go out for bids.
Mrs. Zatz wondered if it was
possible to include this bid as a part of the original bids for the security
system.
Mrs. Merritt asked if we are going to get consultation charges even
if we don't use Mr. Hammond's services and Frank H. Stowell & Sons.
The following motion was made by Mrs. Zatz, seconded by Dr. Wozniak:
MOTION:
That Miss Radmacher is authorized by the Board of
Trustees to contact Mr, Lyons, the attorney, as to the
legality of whether the Library can accept the
Frank H. Stowell & Sons bid without putting the
job out for bids.
The motion passed unanimously.
�-5-
It was decided that if the attorney says we do not have to go out
for bids, Braun & Co. will be contacted to get their ideas and estimate.
If
we have to go out for bids, we will have to have drawings and specifications.
It was decided that only one entrance gate and one exit gate would
be needed.
Miss Radmacher noted that in the minutes of the March 12, 1980
meeting a motion had been passed accepting 3M's bid which included double
entrance and exit gates.
Mr. Flintrup then made the following motion,
seconded by Dr. Wozniak:
MOTION:
That the security system will include one entrance
gate and one exit gate, thus eliminating one gate
on the entrance and exit.
Dr. Wozniak called the roll and the motion passed unanimously.
Mrs. Zatz recommended that we table any further discussion on the
security system set-up until we hear from Mr. Lyons.
She suggested that a
special meeting be called if we are told that bids have to be put out.
LETTERHEAD LOGO
Miss Radmacher reported that she spoke with Mr. Sample and he told
her he will be away for two weeks and will get in touch with her as soon as
he returns.
DISCUSSION OF PROPERTY
The Board went into executive session to discuss this subject.
BUILDING
Miss Radmacher reported that Mr. Lyons had said that the Library
could invite three proposals for replacement of the heating coils rather than
to advertize for bids since the work was an emergency.
Proposals were submitted
to Mr. Schiewe and he recommended that the firm of Fettes, Love & Sieben,
the lowest bidder, be awarded the contract for the amount of $7,347.
Love & Sieben has been contacted.
Other bids were $7,4io and
$8,950~
Fettes,
�-6-
PARKING
According to the minutes of the January meeting, the parking
situation was to be reviewed in April.
After some discussion as to
the complaints that have arisen, Rabbi Weiner suggested we leave
everything as is for the present.
BOOKMOBILE
At this time there cannot be any further discussion regarding
NORTRAN and a bookmobile until we know the outcome of the revenue sharing.
EXPANSION INTO FORMER TECHNICAL SERVICES AREA
Miss Radmacher reported that the Village Planning Department will
be out of the Library by the beginning of October at the latest, and
mentioned some of the staff's ideas for using this area.
Rabbi Weiner said that special time is needed to go over all the
issues regarding the changeover.
Miss Radmacher said that it is important to order the shelving
well in advance because it takes so long to get it.
Mr. Flintrup made
the following motion, seconded by Dr. Wozniak:
MOTION:
Miss Radmacher is authorized to put out bids for
shelving.
Dr. Wozniak called the roll and the motion passed unanimously .
It was decided that a special meeting was needed to discuss all the
aspects of the changeover and a dinner meeting was tentatively planned for
April 23rd, and Miss Radmacher will give the Board a list of the staff's
reconunenda tions at that time.
BOOK SALE
Miss Radmacher recommended that the Library Book Sale be held as
soon as possible after the Planning Department moves out.
upon.
This was agreed

MEMORANDUM RE REDUCED STUDENT FARES
Mr. Flintrup explained that the RTA has opted to eliminate half
fares for students on weekends.
He reviewed the resolution that NORTRAN
has issued requesting the RTA to provide reduced student fares.
Dr. Wozniak
made the following motion, seconded by Mrs. Zatz:
MOTION:
That the Board of Trustees adopt the resolution
and that Miss Radmacher sign the resolution on
behalf of the Skokie Public Library Board of
Trustees and send it to the RTA.
The motion was approved unanimously.
BID OPENING APRIL 16
The Board is invited to the bid opening on April 16th at 11:00 a.m.
for paving including work in the parking area on the west side of the Library.
PHOTOGRAPHS OF FORMER MAYORS
The Village Manager and the Mayor are seeking photographs of all
former mayors to be hung in the Village Hall's new addition.
The Skokie
Public Library has a framed photograph of Mayor Brown and Mayor Blameuser.
Mr. Flintrup made the following motion, seconded by Mrs. Zatz:
MOTION:
That the Skokie Public Library give the two
photographs of Mayor Brown and Mayor Blameuser
to the Village, subject to copies being made
for the Library archives collection.
The motion was approved unanimously.
Miss Radmacher will tell Mr. Eppley that if they do not use the
frames the Library would like the frames back.
COSTS/CHARGES MADE TO PATRONS IN EVANSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY
The Evanston Public Library charge schedule which went into effect
on April 1st was duly noted.
