Mrs. Vincenheller and Mrs. Deal as a committee to dtudy plans to present to
the Community Chest before September, 1950. This committee should inform the
Chest of the amount needed by this library.
Mrs. Paulsrud has enrolled for one course in Library Science at
the University of Arkansas, for which the Librarian has paid $13.00 fee from
fine money. "Books and Related Materials" is the name of the course. Next
term she can take another course. Motion made by tire Meriwether that the fee
for Mrs. Paulsrud's two courses shall be paid by the Librarian from fine money
with the understanding that if Mrs. Paulsrud should quit in less than one year
she should refund money to the library. Motion seconded and carried.
Mrs. Deal reported that Mrs. Shaddux has completed 12 drawers of cata-
log cards to date. There is a good chance to finish the entire 28 sections by
the time Mrs. Shaddux leaves town. Cards are filed and put into use as completed.
Forty-five sections are complete to date. After finishing inventory, shelves
will be read for different sections at the end of each 6 -month period (com-
pleting the entire reading at the end of each 2 -year period).
Decision was made to cancel subscription for Wilson Library Bulletin
and Library Journal. These will be purchased by the County Library since
they are used almost exclusively by Mrs. Deal.
