The Clearwater Library Board met January 18, 1963 at 1:30 PM. Present were
members:
Coleman, Fillewicz, Killeffer, Weimer, Byers and Akerman.
Miss Byers reported on the employee situation. One person is leaving and
,another may leave soon. Two people will start work Monday, they are June
Stirco and Marie Dunlap. Both seem highly qualified and are well Recom-
mended. A third is being processed.
Mr. Weimer agreed to prod a little and try to hasten the installation of a
sign for the beach library. Another sign has been placed in the lobby of the
civic center.
The board voted to send a letter to Mrs. Merrill G. Hastings, thanking her
for the curtains recently installed at the north east branch library. Mrs.
Hastings declined the offer of a plaque, saying she preferred the money be
used for something else that was needed. Mr. Killeffer observed the excellent
behavior of a group of students using this branch while he was visiting there
recently.
The Saturday afternoon opening has started and Miss Byers reports the students
have signed up fairly well, but she mentioned the impossibility of getting
all of them to sign. They are requested by the school principal and teachers
