During discussion of circulation statistics, Mrs. Hunter suggested that when the
comparative annual Bookmobile statistics show a dramatic difference an asterisk and an
explanation should be placed at the bottom of the page noting the number of days the
Bookmobile was out of service the previous year, just as is done each month whenever the
Bookmobile is out of service.
Noting the decrease in in-person questions Mrs. Hunter suggested that "in-person"
questions be recorded with clickers instead of slash marks. This method may be easier and
more accurate.
Counsel Heidi Katz's letter and accompanying "Establishment of a Fund-Raising
Foundation: A New Approach was discussed. Mr. Graham suggested that the formation of a
Foundation be discussed at a future Board meeting. The Board concurred.

Mrs. Hunter recommended we develop a standard release form to enable us to
publish complimentary letters the Library receives.
The motion to approve the Consent Agenda items passed unanimously.
DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Library Usage--We have set new records for volume of activity in March with
circulation over 85,000 and gate traffic up 6,000 over March, 1992.
Library Cable Network--As of March 28, the Skokie Public Library's cable channel is 15.
The other LCN libraries are on channel 24, but TCI was unable to arrange for us to be on channel
24 because our channels need to be aligned with Glenview's since Glenview will be the new head
end for Skokie cable programming. Jim Gembra, who has headed LCN for five years, is leaving
April 4 to work in sales for a vendor of video equipment.
Interlibnuy Loan--The volume of interlibrary loan has been increasing. Joint Computer
Program for Libraries (JCPL) directors and staff responsible for interlibrary loan met recently to
discuss handling of requests. Even out-of-state requests will be handled by each library now. It
has become more difficult to refer these to North Suburban Library System (NSLS). About 75%
of the requests we receive for copies of periodical articles could have been filled by the Central
Serials Service of NSLS. While our staff is having trouble keeping up, Central Serials' staff
suffers from a lack of business, apparently due to the $1.00 per transaction fee. We have sent a
notice to other libraries indicating that we will retmn requests for periodicals which could be
filled by Central Serials.
Business Breakfast--Flyers have been sent out via the Skokie Chamber of Commerce
mailing list, to Skokie Public Library business card holders, Village officials and Department
Heads and Niles Township officials, inviting them to the business breakfast Friday, April 16 at
7:30 a.m. We will offer tours, highlight the Employment Resource Center and Business File on
CD Rom, as well as general reference services.
Staff Recognition--Tobi Oberman was honored as public librarian of the year for her
leadership work with "Reaching Forward", the library assistants' conference. She and
�5
conference co-chair Tom Rich of Warren-Newport will receive another award at the ILA
Conference in Springfield at the end of April.
l&gislatiye Breakfast--Invitations have been mailed to Skokie representatives in
Springfield for a legislative breakfast at the Library Sunday, June 6 at 9:00 a.m. Senator
Howard Carroll has already promised to attend. Please mark your calendars now.
Longer Range Financial Planning--Mrs. Anthony met with Village Finance Officer
Robert Nowak to discuss Library funding for the next few years.
IDinois Municipal Retirement Fund--Th1RF has distributed a notice to employees
indicating that legislation is pending (SB251) to allow employers to offer a "5+5" ERi to eligible
Th1RF members. Employers would have the choice to offer the early retirement option. The
Village has not yet decided whether it would participate.
Mrs. Anthony will get more information if the Village plans to participate.
LONG RANGE PLANNING PROCESS
The Board reviewed the Director's memorandum and the information distributed to the
Long Range Planning Steering Committee at its third meeting April 1.
Mr. Robert Molumby, Director, Skokie Planning Department, and Thomas Thompson,
Economic Development Coordinator, met with the Committee. They reviewed plans for
renovation and expansion of the Old Orchard Shopping Center and downtown Skokie
redevelopment. They also highlighted changes in land use, zoning categories and developments
in the industrial area.
The Committee discussed observed trends in provision of information services and high
interest materials. The next meeting will be April 22. Lisa Edelson, Executive Director of the
Chamber of Commerce will be the featured guest.
TELEPHONE MAINTENANCE AGREEivlENT
The Board reviewed the annual telephone maintenance proposal information.
The proposal from our current provider Midco, Inc. at $2,385.64 reflects a 13%
increase over last year. The Chicago Telecom Services, Inc. proposal, which the Director
�6
solicited is $1,980.00. Chicago Telecom Services, Inc. services equipment for the Village of
Skokie and is located in Wheeling. Midco, Inc. is located in Burr Ridge.
After discussion Dr. Wozniak made a motion, seconded by Mrs. Rich:
MOTION:
THAT THE SKOKIE PUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD OF
1RUSTEES ACCEPT THE PROPOSAL FROM CHICAGO
TELECOM SERVICES, INC. IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,980. AS
PRESENTED AND RECOMMENDED BY THE DIRECTOR.
The roll call vote for approval was unanimous.
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
The Village Board approved in concept a not-to-exceed $200,000. loan to the Library for
the purpose of acquiring real estate and construction of additional parking on the west side of the
present Library structure, but they would prefer a Letter of Agreement format in order to implement
the loan.
Over the past few days Mrs. Anthony, our legal counsel Heidi Katz and Village
Corporation Counsel Barbara Meyer worked on the wording of the Agreement and the draft
document was hand-delivered late today by Ms. Meyer.
Mrs. Anthony asked the Board to take a few minutes to read through the Agreement, since
the document requires our Board's approval and then the Village Board's approval.
Mrs. Hunter and Dr. Wozniak left the Board Room at 8:25 p.m.
After discussion Mr. Graham said he is confident that the document is in order.
Mrs. Hunter and Dr. Wozniak returned to the Board Room at 8:35 p.m.
Mrs. Hunter asked if the Agreement allows the option of demolishing the property at 5237
Oakton to improve parking.
The Board agreed that the document gives latitude for use of the properties.
Mr. Graham made a motion, seconded by Dr. Wozniak:
MOTION:
THAT THE SKOKIE PUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD OF
1RUSTEES ADOPT TIIE INTERGOVERNMENTAL
AGREE:MENT RESOLUTION AS SUBMITTED. (Copy

a new feature this year, where four library workers, one from each type library, were
commended. As mentioned by Mrs. Anthony, Tobi Oberman, Supervisor of Circulation
Services, was honored from the Skokie Public Library. Mrs. Rich stated we can all be very
proud of Mrs. Oberman's contribution.
COMMENTS FROM TRUSTEES
Dr. Wozniak asked if we have had any problems with so called latchkey children?

one another, specifically when they have meetings with constituents not including the entire Board.
