February 23, 1977
The r~gular meeting of the North Richland Hills Library Commission
was called to order by Mrs. Reeder. Mrs. Brinkley and Dr. Smotherman
were pres~nt. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved.
Mrs. Hrinkley infoz~med the members that Mr. Davis' wife has been ill
and in the hospital. The board agreed to send flowers.
Mrs. Prewitt informed the board that she had checked with other libraries
on their policy of displsying art and other items. Mr. Boyer of Arlington
Public Library is sending a copy of their policy, which Mrs. Prewitt
read brief su~maries of the items covered. The board agreed that this
would be used as a basis for a policy for this library and a decision
w~ould be rea~d at the next meeting when a copy of the Arlington
policy could be read by all members. The board also decided that
three board members could comprise a comaittee to decide on display
items for the library. Anyone wishing to display something could
app~ar before the board at each monthly meeting. The committee could
be ro~ated among the members; the period of time to serve was not
decided. Mrs. Prewitt reported on her progress toward finding a means
to hang pictures. It was suggested that either the pictures be displayed
lV on easels os hung on the walls. It was felt that this w~ould not really
cause undue damage to th~ walls.:if not abused, although the members did
not find this to be the best solution. Mrs. Brinkley suggested use of
a display cabinet to be installed along the library/meeting room wall.
Mrs. Prewitt informed the board that the annual meeting of the Advisory
Coun~il for the Major Resource System would be held at the Arlington
Public Library March 24th. This is the meeting at which new members
to the Council are elect~d. Our representative la~t year was Mrs.
