Mrs. Prewitt announced that she was resigning, with regret, as of July 1st
to move to Oregon. She explained that the library~rk situation at present
was not as satisfactory as it should be this time of year. Mrs. Holt had
left the first of May and the replacement for her pasition who began work
on May 4th quit after one week. Mrs. Rosalee Fleming was hired to replace
her and began work on May 26th. Mrs. Prewitt explained that Mrs. Rita
Keeney had announced plans to quit as of July 1st, but that she hoped
Mrs. Keeney would stay until August 1st through the snain part of the
story hour programs.
Mr. Williams exp,~ained to the board that he would be appreciative of their
help in se2ecting a new library director. He a~sked that the board select
a date and time, considering his schedule during June, that w~ould be
convenient for them. The board selected June 11t1~ in the afternoon,
for the interviews. Mr. Williams requested that the top three applicants
be s~ected for interviews.,with Mrs. Prewitt screening the applicants.
Mrs. Brinkley reported that she, Mrs. Prewitt and Mrs. O'Day had visited
the New York Graphics showroom in Dallas at the World Trade Center. It
was her opinion, and of others she had talked to, that at this time the
library should keep buying books to add to the collection. Friends money
would best be used for equipc~nt, or books, as deemed necessary by the
Director. With the lower budget for the year it was also the director's
recommendation that an art project would be out of keeping with budget
and library needs. Howev~r, the b~oard was aware of the idea for a time
in the future when funds would be available.
Meeting adjourned.
