Under "New Business" Linda Foster asked the board to approve the closing of the Library to the public from August 29 to Sept. 5. This is done annually so that the library staff can get the shelves read and everything in order after a busy summer season. A motion was made and passed to the effect that the Library be closed from August 29 to Sept. 5 for a workshop and that there would be a "forgiveness° week for all overdue books. Linda Foster brought to the attention of the board the "Census Microfilm Rental Program". Government funds have been cut which helped to subsidy this endeavor which microfilms censusus reports and is widely used by people who are researching genealogy. A motion was made and approved to take advantage of Census Microfilm Rental Program, to use the deposit method of payment and to charge a fee to underwrite the cost of the rental. In the case of lost or damaged film, it was decided that a fee would be collected only if there was negligence on the part of the patron. Linda Foster passed out a sheet on The Book Endowment Fund.
