Without question modern libraries and those of the future will not merely be dispositories of books. We propose to pursue, learn, and apply the latest and best technology of modern library practices. We have an adequate number of residents qualified to perform superbly along the lines set forth in preceding items 1 through 4. We know some of them, and with public-service publicity provided by our newspapers, radio, and television stations, we can readily recruit additional persons. We recommend members of the LIBRARY TASK FORCE be reimbursed for their out-of-pocket expenditures ...travel etc. A lot more good, applicable information could have been obtained for the $6,000 of taxpayers monies which was funneled through a state agency and paid for the consultant's report that is now being used as a basis for the expenditure of 5.9 million dollars of local taxpayer's monies. We request the matters of library expansion and the proposed referendum be place on the County Commission agenda as soon as possible. We would appreciate being advised of that date and time.
