Mr. Bucove and Rosemary Saczawa reported on the OCLC Circulation Central System. OCLC is now searching for 30 libraries for a trial period, and Rosemary is hopeful the library will be one of the 30 libraries. The system is tailored to meet individual library's needs. Its flexibility permits application to each library's operation. Thus the library retains local control of its circulation policies. The system automatically provides overdues, availability, and fine notices. Mr. Bucove would like board approval to continue working with OCLC. It was the consensus of the board for Mr. Bucove to continue the work with OCLC.
Mrs. Shearer asked Mrs. Richey if she had any questions or anything she would like to add to the meeting?

Mr. Bucove reported on the OCLC status. The application was still in the works for the Anderson Public Library to be accepted as one of the libraries for automated circulation. Mr. Bucove stated that an additional terminal had been requested for use in the main library building and this was granted. This did raise the hopes for being selected for the trial automated circulation. Will need to re-organize the Audio Visual and Children's Departments to make room for a work area.
Mr. Bucove would like to establish a film catalog policy. Will need to reprint a new catalog this year. The cost will be $2.25 each for the printing. Mr. Bucove would like to know if there should be a charge placed on the new catalogs. The policy in the past has been to let the patron have the first copy of the film catalog free; but if they should request a second copy, the price was to be $1.00. It was the feeling of the board to place one copy of the film catalog in the library of each school, churchs, and large organizations. Also place a number of catalogs on loan, to be checked out like other materials from the library. Charge at least $2.00 per copy to the patrons that want their own copy of the catalog.
Mr. Bucove would like the feeling of the board as to putting a Model Railroad Club Exhibit in the library when moved. The only cost would be the space for the exhibit. Would be a club layout. The club would have the joy of building the layout and maintaining the exhibit. There would need to be a formal agreement between the club and the library. Mr. Kinerk moved to explore this further. Seconded by Mrs. Foggs and unanimously passed by the board.
There being no further business, Mr. Bodenhorn moved to adjourn. ____________________________________________________________________ ANDERSON-ANDERSON, STONY CREEK TOWNSHIP PUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES MEETING
