NOV 31992 <br />BOOK 87 PAGE 96® <br />Chairman Eggert stated that the County does not plan to desert <br />Fellsmere. There are three possible ways to keep library resources <br />available to Fellsmere residents. The City of Fellsmere is going <br />to build the Guadalupe Center and we might be able to work <br />something out with that Center, especially with books that are <br />geared to the Spanish-speaking people and some of the first adult <br />readers who live there. Second, the new transportation system that <br />has been started by the Council on Aging makes pickups in Fellsmere <br />and goes to the North County library. Third, we have discussed the <br />possibility of a bookmobile and we will continue looking for grants <br />to help us with that, so we are not deserting them. By not <br />renewing the lease, we will be able to keep the North County <br />library open longer hours, which will be a help to all of North <br />County. <br />Commissioner Bird asked, and Director Dean responded that they <br />will try to maintain library service on a volunteer basis. <br />Commissioner Bowman asked, and Chairman Eggert confirmed that <br />the Fellsmere Library is in an historical building and the City of <br />Fellsmere is supposed to maintain it. The Fellsmere Library <br />Association holds the deed. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously agreed <br />not to renew or extend the lease with the Fellsmere <br />Library Association, but to assist them with <br />activities upon request, lend them books, and give <br />them old books, as recommended by staff. <br />26 <br />
