In almost all catee;ories the estimate of' costs hus been raised
above the estima.tes for the present fiscal year. DurinG thp. past
year thA prices on many items, and print;tddmatter and blndj,ng in
particular. have jumped considerably. ~he5e jumps cannot be fully
anticipated, but the new estimates have been rr~de in thA hope of
partially covering these increases in cost-par-item.
During the seven months that the lib~ary has been open sinc~ the
repair period of last summer the circulation figures have increased
by 6 290 over the same period last yoar. With that in mind,and the
likely population increases of the coming year, the new figures in
the budget estimate atLempt to provide for the extra operation ex-
penses consequent upon rising circulation figures.
Due to a wider range of interests and demands as displayed by the
patroBB we shall have to consider the purchase of books and other
printed materials beyond that here-to-fore nea8ssary. Although the
editions of standard reference works purchased this year should
very nearly cover the needs in that field for the coming year, we
shall need to.include in the coming year's purchasea single volumes
and'sets of a more 8pecialized nature. A few new titles in period-
icals may be necea8'~.
In the matter of 'equipment we are still in need of new file caa~s.
Many of the cards are housed in most unsatis~actory files Dnd boxes.
Further work which we plan for the summer will load the presant
drawers to capacity. Stacking and shelving, as well 8S some special
style cases, are still a foremost need.
Under maintenanc6Lthe room which we hope to use as a juvenile depart-
ment should have l'loor-covering, preferably asphalt tile. Several
other rooms need this coverinz, but they can come later, whenver funds
and conditions indicate the advisability of proceeding with that work.
P~ov1ded that the branch for negroes is authorized by the Commission
that work will require plans and purchases, not easily anticipated in
detail. This being the first branch considered by this library. we
shall be " feeling our way tr for the .first year or two at least. 'rhe
degreo and direction of its development will necessarily determine the
means and manner of' handling ttis project.

R8PORT OF LIBRARY BOARD
'.........
To the Hon. the !layor and the Board of Conun! s sioners of' Ole nrwa tel"',
Florida
Your Board, 1n regular session at Clearwater. Public Library, 36 North
Osceola Avenue, held on July 23, 1952,'voted to recommend to you:
1. That the salary of Christine Wi~fall 1:orrio, librarian of the
colored library at Palmetto Street and Pennsylvania Avenue be increased
from f~i87.S0 per month to ;:;;100.00 per month. She performs her duties
most efficiently, does her own janitor work, and for about nine months
of the year when school 1s in session, she does work comparable to
that of a study ball teacher. The youth usinE her library facilities
1n school reference work do not always have suitable accommodations
for home reading or study and they make generous use of the library
in the early evening hours.
2. That a capital expenditure be made at the Public Library to furnish
. more adequate heatinc;e The suggestion was made by the 01 ty Manager '.
that the heating unit be placed ~n the basement and that heat be
carried by app~op~late ducts to various rooms to provide greater. comfort
for employees and for patrons. It may be feas1ble to provide air-
conditioning through the same system for cooling the reading room and
working offices during the summer.
