Fayetteville Public Library
May 8, 1978
The Board of Directors of the Fayetteville Public Library met May 8
at 4:00 p.m. Members present were George Shelton, Martha Brewer, Dottie
Wood and Bob Rains.
Minutes of the previous meeting were approved as mailed.
Martha Brewer presented the Treasurer's Report which was approved
and is attached.
Linda Foster presented the Librarian's Report (see attached) and a
cost estimate of furnishings and equipment for the library expansion.
Mrs. Brewer moved to send Genie Donovan to a public relations
workshop in Little Rock May 11 and 12. It was seconded by George Shelton
and passed unanimously.
Linda Foster reported that Mrs. Billy Kreck has offered to make two
stained glass windows for the library in memory of her son. It was
decided that further consideration be given before a final decision is made.
'Representatives of the architectural firm were present to answer
questions concerning a timetable. They plan to let bids the end of June.
Construction can then start around the first of August with completion in
6-9 months.
There was a general discussion of the wage rate determination for
laborers and the possible effect on our construction.
U Mr. Shelton asked if some of the building materials could be reserved
in advance to possibly defer rising costs. The representatives implied
that the proposed materials are not the kind directly affected by supply/
demand (i. e. brick) so this action would not be necessary.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 4:45.

Linda Foster, Librarian
