r <br />OCT 211981 �oo� Fa,"5 <br />Commissioner Wodtke pointed out some discrepancies in <br />the documents, noting that although the cover letter from Mr. <br />Damerow states that Mrs. Rodgers would agree to take the <br />position of assistant librarian, it appears that she will <br />only agree to work as the head librarian until she retires, <br />although she would agree to accept an assistant with the <br />Master's degree required by the State. Commissioner Wodtke <br />requrested that the goals of the Library Board be further <br />reviewed. <br />Mr. Damerow reported that they took out some specific <br />stipulations as to percentage of children's books and <br />percentage of non-fiction books and simply stated that they <br />would strive for a better balance. They added goal No. 11 in <br />regard to amending the By-laws. <br />Commissioner Scurlock stated that he could not support <br />goal No. 10 in regard to an independent library taxing <br />district. <br />Chairman Lyons noted that what he has been looking for, <br />is for the Library Board and the Librarian to accept the fact <br />that there should be certain goals and commitments as far as <br />their relationship to the county is concerned. He was <br />satisfied that this is a show of good faith and a move in the <br />right direction and he recommended that we continue their <br />funding. <br />Mr. Damerow reported that the Association members <br />recommended withdrawal of the petition to remove members of <br />the Library Board, and he hoped things now will move forward <br />so they can get on with some fund raising. <br />Commissioner Scurlock asked who is going to run the <br />library - the Librarian or the Board, and Mr. Damerow stated <br />that the Board feels they are going to. He believed the <br />Association members took the attitude that if what was asked <br />of the Librarian was reasonable, the Board should be running <br />it. <br />
