The financial report was distributed, and Dick <br />Boots stated that only $10,000 had been cut from the 1988 -89 <br />Library book budget. <br />Mrs. Sample recommended that an amnesty for the return <br />of long overdue books be held and said that January would be <br />the best month for this. <br />FoLlowing a discussion of memorial book policy, Mrs. <br />Alsobrook moved that the minimum donation for books with <br />memorial plates be $10.00; and that the acceptance of used <br />books to be made memorials be at the discretion of the <br />Director. The motion was seconded and passed. <br />Mrs. Sample reported on a recent NEWSBANK workshop she <br />attended at Sherman and said that the Library had purchased a <br />half year subscription at $1,695.00, to be paid from the book <br />budget. This is a microfiche service of current events from <br />national newspapers which covers 14 subjects and has an <br />annual index. The general feeling of the Board was that <br />students would find it useful. <br />Mr. Boots displayed three photographs which Bob Long <br />enlarged from small pictures of Mrs. T.M. Scott, Miss Nina <br />Shelton and Mrs. Margaret Baker. Brass plates will identify <br />each photograph and he noted that wording for a plate for the <br />Culbertson's portraits is also needed. <br />Mrs. Sample presented the rules for entering the Texas <br />Library Association Media Awards (which has a deadline of <br />February 10, 1989) and said she thought the Library should <br />enter its own slide /tape program. <br />
