To the Board of City Commissioners
City Hall
Clearwater, Florida
Gentlemen:
TIle Library Board of the city, comprised of the members whose
signatures appear below, has exhaustively studied the budget prepared by
Miss Sarah Byers, City Librarian, whose services we wish to commend at this
time,' and offers the following comments for your consideration:
.1. The money allocated for use by the Library for the fiscal year
1956-57 can be made to serve our purpose only if we temper our present plans
for vitally required expansion.
2. TIlis highly necessary expansion considering the growth of the
community of which you are well aware, calls for utilizing the vacant space
in the annex building immediately north of the present Library. The members
of the Library Board request the privilege of meeting with the members of the
City Commission at their earliest convenience to outline our proposed e~~an-
sian in the annex building.
3. Until the foregoing plans are mutually approved. it may be necessary
to use some degree of flexibility in reapportioning the foregoing budgetary
amounts, and we are sure the City Commissioners will countenance such action
on a temporary basis, with our assurance that any such reapportionment will
represent the best judgment of all concerned with the Library operation.
Please be assured of a full support of. all of us who are directly
or indirectly responsible for the well-being and operation of the Library.
We will look forward to meeting with you at an early date.
* Chairman
