The Clearwater Library Board met January 30. 1970.
Members present were:
Coleman, Haasbrouck. Moore. Biggs, Macdonald) Filewicz, Korosy. Byers and
Akerman.
Mrs. Dubendorff was also present.
Minutes from the last meeting were read and approved. Miss Byers read a letter
to the city manager. Mr. Stierheim, concerning microfiom. There is a new type
which is entirely different from the roll but not yet available. Space and
efficiency have to be considered in buying. There should be another copying
machine.
A motion was made to recommend to the city commissioners that microfiom be pur-
chased to cover most of the material back as far as 1950, including a reader
\
and reader printer, Mrs. Filewicz seconded this motion and it was passed.
Nothing has been decided by the city commissioners about the building program.
There is a chance for expansion of the Wickman memorial by friends of the late
David Killeffer.
Miss Byers showed plans to the board members and a motion was made by Mrs.
Filewicz that the board recommend to the city commissioners that the area be
enlarged as suggested using an additional 10 feet of the present chamber of
commerce beyond the tentative area. This would give a large 20 feet more of
space. Mr. <<Orosy seconded this and the motion passed with no further discus-
sion.

olution later.

and seconded by Mrs. Moore. The motion passed and the collection authorized.

OFFICE OF
LIBRARY DIRECTOR
Whereas, David H. Killeffer served his community as a member of the Library
Board of the City of Clearwater during the past seven years: and
Whereas, his dedication was so complete, his efforts 50 suce5sful in all ar-
eas of the Board's activities, the Board wishes to express its sense of loss
to the family of Mr. Killeffer.
During the meetings of the Board, Mr. Killeffer had so comprehensive and sen-
sitive a grasp of the many needs and problems, and such unusual ability of
expression, both spoken and written, that his contributions toward solutions
was inestimable. His efforts were unremitting in bringing to fruition the
plans and projects which the Board's actions initiated. His education and
experience as a scientist. writer, business man, churchman, and sewman were
so wide that he was able to assist in every area. His sponsorship of the
Wickman Memorial Collection, in particular, has been such that already the
collection has become well known throughout the country.
Be it resolved.
That the Library Board record its sorrow and sympathy at the passing of its
friend and co-worker, and that a copy of this resolution be spread upon the
minute,:book of the Board in lasting tribute to his memory, and that copies be
sent to his family and to the City Commission o~ Clearwater, with the request
that it be read in a regular meeting of said Commission.
Respectfully submitted
Rev. Robert Coleman JT. Chainnan
