MINUTES <br />PARIS PUBLIC LIBRARY ADVISORY BOARD MEETING <br />Wednesday, February 22, 1989 <br />The Paris Public Library Advsory Board met in regular session <br />February 22, 1989, at 4:00 P.M. in the Library Gallery with Chairman <br />Bill Hagood presiding. Board members present were Rogene Patterson, <br />Beth Shelton, William Neely, Jean Gibson and Frances Ellis, <br />Secretary. Absent were Virginia Gibbs, Eric Tate, and Jackie <br />Alsobrook who was in Austin speaking before the Texas Legislative <br />House Appropriations Committee. Library Director Beverly Ann Lewis <br />and Clair Haslam, President of the Friends of the Library, also <br />attended. <br />Minutes of the January 18, 1989, meeting were approved as <br />corrected to add the following to the end of the sixth paragraph: <br />"and express the Library's appreciation for her late husband's <br />bequest to Paris Public Library." <br />Ms. Lewis presented the Library Budget Report advising the <br />Building and Grounds line item was 42.31% expended because this is a <br />contracted service paid up front. <br />She discussed the Monthly Status Report. The January total <br />circulation was 10,740 and the year to date total circulation is <br />36,655. <br />Ms. Lewis distributed the January 1989 Accessions Lists which <br />included 107 adult fiction titles, 172 adult non- fiction titles, 30 <br />juvenile fiction titles and 5 juvenile non - fiction titles. <br />Non -print materials included 112 videos and 7 audio cassettes. <br />She advised Gene Anderson, City Finance Director, would attend <br />the March 15 meeting to discuss the Library accounts. On behalf of <br />the City, he acts as custodian for the accounts; however, the <br />Library Director and /or Library Board officers will continue to <br />manage them. <br />She also advised the procedure for memorial donations. A <br />memorial selection is generally made from new titles which have <br />already been received. When a title on a specific subject area is <br />requested, the doner is advised the request will be reviewed and a <br />decision made according to the needs of the collection. <br />When a book is donated as a memorial, the doner is advised it <br />will be accepted according to the guidelines for all donations - <br />that is, it becomes the property of the Library and will be added to <br />the collection if needed. <br />Ms. Lewis reported on the February 15 Legislative Day sponsored <br />by the Texas Library Association. Nearly 500 librarians met in <br />Austin and discussed library funding with their individual <br />legislators. She said the Association supports funding at no less <br />than the Level III funding budget request of the Statewide Library <br />Development Program because failure to do so would result in the <br />loss of $4.7 million of federal funds. <br />
