RESOLUTION
BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors of the Skokie

northern suburban Cook County and surrounding territory in the
manner as provided for in House Bill No. 563 adopted by the 74th
General Assembly and approved by the Governor August 17, 1965.
FURTHER BE IT RESOLVED that any Library may
terrninate its participation in the System at the end of the current
contract ye.ar upon ninety days written notice to the System Board
of Directors.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that "free use of the total
library resources within a System" shall be, .at the present time,
by inter-library loan through the Center, using the resources of
the Research and Reference Centers as well as the collections of
member libraries and following the ALA General Inter-Library Loan
Code as approved 1956.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED contingent on the foregoing
resolutions that the Skokie Public Library be one of the participating
libraries of said System.
Motion by Mr. Erickson seconded by Mrs. Griffin that the Resolution be
adopted.
All a yes.
At this time the President requested discussion on formation of a Citizens
Committee Advisory to the Library Board.
It was agreed the committee should
not be too big - not more than 10 or 15 people.
The President stated the basic
·problem now is how to select members as a basis of the committee.
The sug-
gesiion was made that an _outside agency such as League of Women Voters, Home
Owners Council, etc. might be contacted and asked to present nominees.
Recom-
mendation was made to have four nominees each from PTA Council, League of
Vvomen Voters, Home Owners Council and Chamber of Commerce.
The opinion
,"•
was expressed.that as it looks now it will be necessary to build a large'r addition.
The Li.brarian stated she felt if the committee bad just the expansion to think
about ther:e would not be..:a single objection.
who did not want the expansion here.
No one has talked with her directly
It would appear that putting the issue up
�aagain without a branch would go through.
Concensus that the original plans for
an addition could not be made smaller, if anything must be made larger.
Mr. Erickson asked if there had been any contact made with the Village
regarding the confusion over the open space grant.
The ans:wer was that the
Village thinks there will be no problem, but Mr. Green will contac·j;; the Village
again concerning this property and see what they have to say.
Mr. Erickson
insisted that something should be had in writing.
The President asked for a resolution to have a letter sent to the suggested
groups explaining the proposal for the Citizens Committee and asking them to
submit nominees.
He further asked Miss Radmacher to recast her projections
as to needs, submit this at the February meeting for consideration, following
which a tentative proposal can be given to the architect so he can prepare rough
sketches.
Resolution by Mr. Erickson, seconded by Mrs. Petty.
RESOLVED to have the President of the Library Board, L. 0. Green~
send a letter under his signature to PTA Council, League of Women
Voters, Home Owners Council and the Skokie Chamber of Commerce
asking them to submit names of four nominees from their organization fo::form and be.come part o:i:: a Citizens Committee Advisory to
the Library •.
The Resolution passed unanimously.
At the conclusion of the Library business Mr. Simon expressed his thanks
to the Board for the opportunity of attending the meeting.
He commended the Board
for the-jremendous effort put into the referendum and the good job done.
He stated
that while he had not been a friend of the issue as presented he could sympathize with
the Board for its failure.
He also stated he hoped any feeling of animosity there
might have been would not continue.
He informed the Board he is very much interested
in increased library facilities for the community and will do all he can to see that we
have it, will work toward that end and the Board may call on himanytime he can be of
assistance.
Stated he has some influence in the home owners group and League of
Women Voters, mentioned his feeling that the program just discussed should be
�- 4 successful since it was merely a matter of bringing together an active committee
and have them go out and sell the program to the community.
Again he compli-
mented the Board for the effort and time put into the last referendum and expressed
his hope the next one will be successful.
Meeting adjourned at 8:30 p. m.
