Bids on these i terns ~e:e taken 1.n Novembe:· Construction of the library began in April, 1971 being set off appropnately by a traditional ground- breaking cererr.ony . Although con3truc~ion bids came in over the estimates , this was somel-that offset by lower b2.ds on the furnishings than we had anticipated. He were thus able to restore some earlier deletions, such as dr:1pes and landscaping . lfter considerable discussion llith city officials , the natural stone walls at the entrances were alloto~ad unde r the building code . These are now in placa and it is easy to see the excellent effect these will have on the loots of the interior . • We v~re quite pleased to see an encouraging increase in book circulation during 1971. Last year saw a rise of 10, 996 in the number of books checked out over 1970. Adult circulation rose by 9, 598 while children's circulation vas UiJ by 1, 398 . The increase in juvenile circulation was particularly gratifying due to the fact that it has been on a downhill spiral for 7 years, not o:1ly here but in mmty parts of the country. All items circulated- books, films, records & periodicals- totaled 307, 534 for the year. !."'Jring 'the same period, our total number of registered borrovrers increased by 1,551 to a new total of 17, 850. Our book stock grew by 4, 748 to a nell high of 79, u64 volU.'!leS • h addition to our regular circulation of materials to patrons, our range of e~rvi.ces for the :r-ear included : A- Child..ren • zummer reading program which enrolled 1, 761 youngsters .

For the first time in its history, the Library made plans to become in ~feet, a separate entity. That is, upon reaching 35 000 population' it would henceforth certify its budget directly to the County Clerk, i~stead of being-approved by the City Commission as a part of the total ci t;J budget . The Board expressed it's desire to see the City pass a charter ordinance this year returning the budget to its previous relationship vith the city budget . #.major change on the Board took place last year when l1ax Stalcup retired after nea:-ly 12 'rears service, the last 3 of which he served as chair-;m.
