The new computer is operable, but the wire must be adjusted
in length. Data is in and working well.
There are several cQanges in the workroom arrangement.
Vera did get results on overdues as the #1 priority. Several
books came back. Mr. Sweatt is working on the ordinance about
overdue books.
Complete automation of SPL 1S quite possible within three
years.
Gail's reference course is very helpful; she will apply
knowledge to the Collection.
The order for children's books came to $800.00. Fiction and
bestsellers will be chiefly considered now.
Gail and Connie attended the SAALS meeting.
PUBLIC RELATIONS/PUBLICITY
Connie reported that she and Gail have a working lunch
planned on the "Library Limelight" newspaper articles on
volunteers and/or library sections.
POLICY
Meeting room scheduling is sometimes difficult. Gail
currently gives a form to the person intending to get the key
from the dispatcher.
BUILDING
Discussion was held during Mr. Schwartz's visit. He answered
questions, etc. A five-ton unit for the addition is $1800 per
ton, or $9,000 for that particular unit. Installing a damper
to shut off the faulty unit in the meeting room during non-use
might be considered. Caution was expressed about the use of
the polybutyl pipes used for geothermal pumps. The shifting
base and caliche here could cause breakage in that kind of
pipe. It was decided to contact more local AC people for
estimates, including Bill Tibbs of Universal Air, Hillert's
(now owned by Mr. DeKoch), and Bantz Air Conditioning.

OLD BUSINESS
Jerry and Ruth had some info on the Humane Society's hoedown
at the V.F.W. They collected $849.00 with $300.00 going to the
band. Some was due to a small raffle. H.S. was pleased and has
rescheduled for the same time next year. Del Richerson of the
V.F.W. does everything - advertizing, getting bands, etc. We
just need someone to sit at the door. Ruth will talk to Nolan
Edwards there about booking the V.F.W. and the details for a
jamboree for the Library. Michelle and other H.S. members
would like a Thursday meeting with some of us to discuss the
dance/auction. Mary, Margaret, and Ruth will meet with them.
David has a larger truck and said that he would be glad to
pick up the A-frames in Seguin.
We will give Jim Shriver of Schertz Business Club a list of
items needed, like ceiling fans, cost of wiring the addition,
etc. to consider as donations.
NEW BUSINESS
Mary appointed Julie and Tony to the Nominating Committee to
address the issue of board members with expiring terms. They
will report on that status at the LAB's November meeting. At
the December meeting they will submit a slate of officers for
1989.
As there was no other business, Tony moved to adjourn. Ruth
seconded. MP.
