4. Old Business:
a. Status report on Superstition
Mountain Historical Museum
display• An excellent display is now in the
lobby. This has the approval of the
City Council. It will be moved later
to be against the wall.
5. New Business:
a. Preliminary discussion on
Budget Request for 1987/88: It is recommended that the book budget
be increased to $50,000. This is
justified by $9,000 in grant money
currently being spent that will not
be available next fiscal year.
Comparison was made with the Casa
Grande Library.
Recently, 101 books from the McNaughton
(rent-lease) collection were purchased
for $202. This increases our permanent
book collection.
Five-year plan calls for an additional
Library Clerk for 1987-88, but as long
as the library hours are not expanded,
needs can be met by increasing a half-
time clerk to full-time.
Other needs:
Audio-visual equipment
2 better recorders
Increase supplies budget
A program by a storyteller will be
held sharing expenses with Four Peaks
Elementary School.
b. Request from the Superstition
Mountain Art League to display
art work in the library: The City Council has already acted
upon this. It has been approved for
liability. It will be displayed
across from the Circulation Desk.
Motion was made to accept the request
to display in the library by Linda
Navarre and seconded by Terry Spence.
Motion carried unanimously.
