�Programs being conducted by Children 1 s Department were outlined for the Board 1 s information.
A suggestion was made that an announce-
ment about the programs be sent to the superintendents of the school districts
requesting them to call it to the attention of the students.
Other programEl
which are under way, such as Great Books, Junior Great Books, Contemporary
Readers 1 Group, etc. were mentioned by the Librarian.
The Board members were reminded of the ILA Trustees and
Librarian's luncheon and meeting October 23 at the LaSalle Hotel and requested
to let the Librarian know how many planned to attend.
The President informed the Board of a meeting held the previous
week with the Board of Trustees of School District 68 to discuss the plans
for a referendum.
School District 68 decided against having a referendum
at this time.
Following that meeting the Architect, Ji3-mes W. Hammond, had
been asked to see what could be done about reducing the cost without
destroying the plans.
He reported he had checked out the plans and deleted
$140, 000 from the construction and, from the furnishings and equipment,
$17,000.
He pres:ented the new renderings and stated everything is ready
for preparation of the brochure.
The points listed below were mentioned in dis,cus sion •.
The only thing relevant is what the library needs - it has been
1
prepared and is a sound program - the question of getting voters approval
is irrelevant.
One package might have a better chance but there is the possibility
of losing the whole thing.
It appears right now people are quite conscious of taxation.

�This bond issue referendum will require an extensive selling program
and December 5 does not allow much time.
A date in February might be more
desirable, some time during the last week of the month.
The referendum could include branch and expansion of main library
as two sections and the tax increase on a separate ballot.
Opinion stated that the people would vote for the entire package as one.
Reminder that the Village Board would be little inclined to approve anything next year at any time near their campaign.
Use of a storeroom for a branch and the problems and limited service
it would give.
Expansion of this building is imperative since an emergency is
developing by the increasing usage and crowded condition.·.
Something must be resolved and a resolution of intent adopted.
The President stated the Library Board has an obligation to the public
and should present the entire package to the voters to make a choice.
At this time Mr. Erickson offered the following motion which was
seconded by Mrs. Griffin.
Motion:
That we direct the Library 1 s attorney to prepare
whatever resolutions are ne·cessary for preparation
of a bond issue to include the following: {l) a total
amount of One Million Eight Hundred Seventy-Seven
Thousand Dollars ($1, 877, 000) for a branch library
as has been previously discussed and outlined and
