The Library Director elaborated further upon her report to the Board regarding
the Monbe Stewart "Look in a Book" video tape series that will be produced
through North Texas Library System funds. She has been asked to chair an
ad hoc committee who will a~vise Mr. Stewsrt on the library aspects of his
shows. Each library in the System will receive tapea of this series of
fifteen shows for in-house and circulating use, hopefully by ~pring '82.
Tiffany also updated the Board on the status of the City's municipal Cable
channel. At present the Community Cable Advisory Panel is studying the
specific needs of each municipal department and the citizen~s needs in
general, to determine the staffing, equipment and funds necessary to
support these needs. The administration of the messages to be transmitted
through the char~±acter gen~rator has been given to the Library. The
character generator will be housed in the Director's office, under lock
and key for security.

Davis Blvd/Maplewood and Rufe Snow/Maplewood intersections. Tiffany will
contact the City's Public Works Department on this. The Hoard also re-
qaested that Tiffany write a public relations piece about the Library and
ask local organizations to include it in their bulletins.
The Board requested that flawers be sent to Mrs. Julie Smotherman who is
