rarian was directed to write a letter of appreciation to the City
Commission.
The librarian was directed to indicate the desirability of construct-
ing a permanent canopy above the front entrance to the library build-
ing.
It was decided that a new identification placard or plate should be
selected and purchased for fue front of the building. Various types
were discussed. At Mr. Dixon's suggestion it was concluded that om
which a.llowed for changeable adjustments on tbat portion indicating
the library's opening and closing hours would be best suited to the
purpose. The librarian was advised to investigate styles and
materials.

At the request or the chairman the librarian presented G summary of
the library's rinnncial status at the end of tbe calendar year 1948.
A portion of ,this report was attached to the minutes. The report
indicated that a littlo more than half the budget appropriation for
the fiscal year 1948-1949 has been expended.
~n reporting the circulation statistics fOl,.the calendar year the
librarian indicated that the sharp increa~es in the last several
'months could probably be traced to several natural causes, such as
increase in the permanent population of the town, heavy tourist in-
flux in the last month, and the addition to the library shelves of
some types of material not h61'e-to-fore available to the pa trons, or
would-be patrono.
All_the current business of the Board having been considered the
meeting was adjourned by unanimous consent.
