The IBM computer has arrived. Summer workshops with Bob Walton, Texas State
Library Automation Consultant, will be helpful in selection of computer materials.
A workshop on planning libraries will be on May 20th.
The extended Saturday hours seem to be working out satisfactorily.
There are some new volunteers.
The new address, 608 Schertz Parkway, will be official on June 1st. An order
to the printer has been submitted for new address, library hours, etc. The
sign outside must have attention as to the new address.
There are still lawn care problems. Earl's son and Tony have each mowed the

Gail wrote the letter of appreciation to Clemens Honor Society members
and sponsors, thanking them for help at our book sale.
BUILDING COMMITTEE
Earl has the plans for the library addition and will transfer to the city ASAP.
OLD BUSINESS
We decided to prepare an entry for the Fourth of July parade,if missing the
deadline is not a problem. We will not man a booth at the park.
We discussed our experiences with working the booth at the Bluebonnet Palace
during the rodeo on May 2nd. We filled out the critique sheet as requested by
the Rotary Club. Consensus was that if the game booths were to continue, they
should be more visible,or signs that would direct attention to them should be
put up.
The Rotary Club and the Johns family will sponsor a tractor pull at the
Bluebonnet Palace on May 23 and 24. No details were available; as many LAB
members who can will plan to work a booth during that event. We want to support
these community events and appreciate being included. (LAB members should wear
the badges stored in the Library that serve as identification that we are indeed
members of the SPlAB.)
Literacy Program workshops will be held on May 9th and 16th.
NEW AND MISC. BUSINESS
Julie inquired as to when budget hearings will be held. No info yet.
Julie moved to adjourn the meeting and Tony seconded.

Gentlemen:
This is to advise of my reappointment, with Council's
concurrence, of Mr. Adolph Aguilar as Ex Officio
member to the Schertz Library Advisory Board.
It is not possible for every member to attend all meetings
and having a liaison has benefited both the City Council
and the Schertz Library Advisory Board in the past and will
continue to be of benefit.
