DISCUSSION OF THE NEW LIBRARY
The Euless City Council approved the contract with Lee Brawner to
serve as Library Consultant for the building of the new library.
The Board discussed the need to visit new libraries. Mrs. Yarbrough
had a schedule so that Board members could select the best date for
their schedule.
DISCUSSION OF BY-LAWS
Alice Ernest requested the Board's comments on a draft of the new
By-Laws. After general discussion, the Board agreed that the team
of Betty Yarbourgh and Alice Ernest have done an excellent job. The
Board worked very hard together "fine tuning" the draft. Betty and
Alice said they would incorporate the changes and have a copy ready
for the Board's approval at the next board meeting.
There being no further discussion, Chairman Alice Ernest adjourned
the meeting at 8:30 p. m.
