[In paragraph seven the reference should have been to the Arkansas State Library board instead of the Arkansas Library Association board.] Library Director Harrison commented briefly on the Statistical and Financial reports for March. She noted particularly the increase in circulation for the first quarter of 1990 over that for 1989, perhaps because of the milder winter. The electronic counters are showing a surprising number of patron visits. The audit fee for this year remains the same as for 1989. Ms. Harrison called attention to the reading by author Douglas Jones on April 25 as part of Library Week observance, in cooperation with the Friends of the Fayetteville Public Library, who will provide refreshments. Ozarks Regional Director Duree commented briefly about the Regional annual report for 1989 that had been previously circulated. She noted that this regional system has a higher circulation per capita than Little Rock, with many specific patron requests for items in other libraries in the system or otherwise available through interlibrary loan. President Hay reported that we still have no definite word from the City of Fayetteville about the 1990 budget. Ozarks Regional Director Duree and architect Laleh-Amirmoez: continue to work on the on-going grant proposal for financial assistance for the renovating of the MedArk Building. Ms. Duree will personally deliver the proposal in Little Rock by the April 20 deadline. The specific means of circulating notices of Board meetings are a bit uncertain. The Calendar of Events in the Northwest Arkansas Times and posted notices in the Library will perhaps be used. Consultation with the City about legal requirements may be necessary. The amended audit report for 1989 has been received and circulated. The meeting was adjournedat 4:40 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Foster Park, Secretary
