never even been discussed with Kansas Librarians or Boards .
Please read this over and we wi I I discuss it at the meet i ng . If my understanding
is correct , this was not meant to be seen by I ibraries at this time , but was
supposed to be sent only to the State Library Commission . However , by some
means copies were received by about 12 I ibraries last week . It would probably
be best not to publicize the memo at this time .

Re: Memorandum, March 5, 1973, Dean C. Gross to State Library
Advisory Commissicn
The undersigned reject the substance of the tnemorandum for the
follo\ving reasons:
•

1. Kansas public libraries are at present and have historically
been an intregal part of local government.

•

2. The legislative study committee made an exhaustive study
during 1972 which did not recommend any changes in
library governmental organization.
3. If savings are to be found through restructuring the State
Library other alternatives should be explored in addition
to the proposal by Mr. Gross to move the State Library
to the State Department of Education.

•

We request that no legislative action should be taken without
consultation of librarians, trustees and municipal governing
bodies.

�REGULAR MEETING
March 22, 1973
The Board of Directors of the Lal-Trence Public Library held it's regular monthly
meeting March 21, 1973 in the Conference Room at 4:00 .
~embers

present were: Chairman Clark Coan Skipper Williams James Drur,y and
Howard Wi~eman. Observers: Mrs . Evely Ha~tings from the Le~gue of Women's Voters
and Natas~ Kuzmanovic, High Schbol Student .
The February minutes were approved as distributed .

The Director's report included the following items: Februar,y financial report and
statistics. Mr. Mayo reported that some of the ballasts on the fluorescent lighting
have been replaced . The Sun Ray Company is trying to get the General Electric Co . to
replace all the ballasts. The repair men indicate that the ballasts installed were
defective . The Library Board voices concern over this problem and feels this concern
should be brought to the attention of City Manager Buford Watson by letter, with a
copy to the City Attorney, Mit Allen .
There was discussion of a newspaper article from the Journal World stating that members
of the City Conunission felt the electric bill of the Library was very high. Mr . Hayo
stated that our bills have totaled $8 , 265 for the first six months of occupancy of the
building and the estimate of the architect for a one year period was $15,999 . He feels
the cost is in line with the estimate presented . The Board asked Mr . Mayo to check
with Buford Watson to see if he has shared a letter l-Tritten by Austin Stedham showing
a breakdown of electricity costs by the month with the City Commission . The Board also
felt that perhaps Mr . Mayo should list the payments made each of the months to compare
with Mr. Stedham 1 s breakdown .
Mr . Mayo reported that a second Certificate of Deposit in the amount of $40, 000 has been
ourchased with excess funds . This is for a period of three months .
Howard Wiseman made a motion that the Board of Directors go on record as opposing the
Libraries of the State going under the Board of Education (i.e. local public libraries
under the local school districts) as outlined by State Librarian Dean Gross in his memorandum dated March 5, 1973 . Skipper Williams seconded the motion . The motion carried
with James Drury abstaining from voting .

15

and 16 as the dates for the Book Sale to be held here in front
of the Library Building . The Board has requested a list of the officers of the CALL
group to be presented at the next board meeting .

C. A. L.L . has set June

An article was read to the group concerning a proposal made by the Concerned Black Parents that they work through the
ing Funds .

Libra~

Board to secure finances from the Revenue Shar-

Action on the method of hiring the Library Director was postponed until next meeting .

Mr. Mayo reported that a ~erox 4000 has been installed on the main level for public
use and printing of the Library. The Zerox 720 originally located on the main level
has been moved downstairs to the Workroom and is to be used only for the Catalog cards .
Bills in the amount of $16, 742.14 were approved by roilil call vote .

WAYrJE MAYO
L1 brory Director

12 Apr i I I 97 3
Mr. BL•ford Watson
City Manager
City Ha I I
9th &amp; tv1ass.
Lawrence, Kansas
Dear fvir.

\~at son:

With decision time nearing as to how the City wi I I spend its share of federal
revenue sharing monies, I would I ike to propose, on behalf of the Library Board
of Trustees, that the sum of $ 50,000 be allocated for the I ibrary for the express purpose of purchasing new books.
In my letter to the Commission of November 21, 1972, we requested$ 75,000 o·1er
a five year period. We believe that the $ 50,000 figure may be more real is· c in this
time of financial strain.
The Lawrence Library's book collection now numbers aproximately 87,000. According to the standards for pub I ic I ibraries as defined by the American Library Association, our minimum collection should now be at least 100,000 volumes. The
shortage of available materials has been accelerated by our recent move to larger
quarters. I might mention,parenthetical ly, that since the move last Fal I to the
new I ibrary that our book circula·~ion has increased by 25% over the same period
a yoar ago. The number of registered borrowers has increased from 17,850 at the
end of 1971 to a record of 23,152 persons by January of this year,an increase of
30% in 12 months, much of it in the last 4 rponths of 1972.
The Library
as quality,
munity. The
book budget

has rnade every effort to build up its collection in quantity, as \·Jell
and to increase it p~oportionately to the growi·h of our reading combook budget for the past 3 year-s has averaged about $ 33,000. Our·
for 1973 is $ 40,000.

In 1968 we spent approximately$ 24,000 i'o purchase 6,700 books at an overal I
average cost (aft'er discount&gt; of $ :s. 60 per book. In 1972 \'le spent $ 36,600
to purchase 6,500 books at an overal I average cost of $ 5.62 per book. The five
year increase in costs from $ 3.60 to $ 5.62 represents a total percentage increase of 56% during the five years or I 1% per year. In that five year period
our book budget (excluding Federal funds) ~~ent up slightly over 50%. As we see
from the above, i·his resulted in a slight dec I ine in total purchases. During the
same five year period U.S. output rose from 30,000 volumes in 1968 to 38,000 las!·
year. So, in 1968 we purchased 22% of pub I ishing output,which in 1972 dropped to 17%.

to purch-d~
-e aprox1rna
· t e 1 y 7 , 500 books ai· an average of $ 6 . 00 per book .
for- extra supplies and manpower for ordering,processing and cata l og i ng .

In add i t i o~ to this , v1e wi I I probab I y buy some 6 , 800 books oui of our budget next
yea~ . We WI I I probably withdraw or discard some 2 000 outdated or worn-out books
at the ~arne time , giving us a r1et of 4 , 800 books .' This added to the above 7 , 500
would g1ve us 12 , 300 for a total collection of about 98 , 000 , very close ·to standar~s . Act ua l ly , such a large amount , if given , should be spent over a two year
per 1 od for the best se I oct i on poss i b I e . That way , we cou I d no·l· on I y pick up additional new i itles , but go back and buy older items needed in the co ll ection .
Some of t he speci fie book areas wh i c h we would I ike to expand are i·he fol l owi ng :
(I) chi ldre r1 1 s p i cture books (?) other children ' s books (3) art bool&lt;s (4 ) books
for rninor i t i es i n our con1munity , of which there is alv1ays a good demand and ( 5)
r ecords a nd fi l ms .
One other po i nt for you r information i n regard to books for- minor i ties. vie no\&gt;J
have approxima-tely 520 books in our co l lection dea li ng \•l i th black history and
the black experier1ce . V/e have been buying an average of 63 i·itles per year over
the past 4 yea r s . This is about 1% of our total . There are 310 t i t l es I i sted as
having been pub I ished in 197 1 and i t appears we are buying approximate l y 20% of
these , somewhat cornparab l e to our other- purchases . Not inc l uded in the above are
any other mi nority ho l d i ngs or· purc hases . We think we could definite ly use some
of the revenue sharing f·und s and increase our hoI d i ngs in these areas , wi t h r eccommendat i o ns from commun i ty minority organizat i ons . Discussion on th i s may come
up in reI a t i 0 n ·ro reven ue shar i ng fun d s a 1· a I ater date .
For comparative ~Jr· poses ; ,, Kansas , -tho following figures are avai I able : Sa l i na ,
\l i th a populat i on of 36 , 000 r1as a boo lc col lec1 ion of over 140 , 000 ; ~lu·tc h inson ,
with a popu l atior ot 4 1, 000 has a book stock approaching the sarne f i gur-e ; Man hattan , \·lith 27 , 000 peop l e (almost 20 , 000 f&lt;: wer than La\'.'rence) has a book co l lection very near the 100, 000 mark, some 13 , 000 rnor·e t han the La111rence Library .

~lith our-

faci 1 ity , one \•Jhich \o.Je I ike to i ·hink is not only ·the best I i brary
bu i I ding in Kansas bu·l in the Centra I Si'a tes ar-ea , we definite I y require more
vo I umes in each of our co 1 I ect i ens . \•Je have an adequate mnount of space now
and , of course, olonty of expansion space in the l ower leve l when the need and
time ar-rives . Our stacks are in good order , but \'le do n8ed volumes to move along
our long-range goal of helping to fi I I them witt1 quality books . To have rnore bool&lt;s
ne\'1

rneans we can provide more services .

p . .)

,.

~·le

\Jculd not be at all prone to reducing our annual book budget if lhe Corrmission
st.ould see fit to share some of ·the federal monies wii·h us for books. In fact, we hope
to j_ncrease our book budget each year to keep oace. However , such an imrnediaie infusion of $ 50,000 would provide us wii·h sucl, an important boos·t at this critical
tiMe in building our collections that it would be mor·e than excel lent.
\'Je \·~ou I d very much I ike to be ab Ie i"o bring our book co I I ec·t ion up ·f·o nat i ona I

standards as wei I as meet or exceed the book standards of other comparable I ibraries in Kansas.
If you and the Commissioners r-equire additional information,please feel free
to call me or our Library Director, \~ayne Mayo. 1 might point out Jh conclusion
that the Board does not select books,periodicals,records,fl lrns, and the lfke-we Ieave that important "t-ask to our profess i ona I I y trained I i brary personne I .

�REGULAR MEETING
April 17, 1973
The Board of Directors of the Lawrence Public Library held it's regular monthly meeting April 17, 1973 in the Conference room at L:OO.
Members present were: Chairman Coan, Mrs. Kit Carlsen, Larry Flanner.y, James Drur,y.
Observers present were: Mrs. Evelyn Hastines and Natasha Kuzmanovic.
The Mabcb minutes were approved as distributed.
The following slate of officers for the Library Board were elected:
Chairman -- Clark Coan
Vice Chairman -- James Drury
Secretary-Treasurer -- Howard Wiseman
The Director's report included a review of the statistics and budget survey. Mr.
Mayo announced that the first check from the State for the Inter-Librar.y Loan Grant
has been received. This is in the amount of $1630.00 and is for operations. The estimated funds will be $3200.00 for Operating expenses and $3500.00 for book purchase.
In answer to the question of why these funds do not show in the budget, Mr. Mayo explained that they are a reimbursable item and do show up in the financial statement
and as a separate item in the budget survey, but because the fund and the amount is
on a yearly basis, it cannot be budgeted.
There was discussion of the Revenue Sharing Funds. A letter is attached (copy) as
written by Chairman Coan to the City Manager in behalf of the Library Board asking
for consideration in the distribution of such funds.
Mr. Mayo reported on the recent vandalism to the furn~ture in the adult section of
the library. Seven couches have been slashed, seemingly by knife or razor. The
estimated repair will be around $250.00. Insurance covering the furnishings is $250.

�REGULAR MEETING
May 15,
1973
The ~oard of Directors of the Lawrence Public Library held it's
meet1ng on May 15, 1973 at 4:00 p.m. in the Conference Room.
Members present were:

regular monthly

Chairman Clark Coan, Howard Wiseman, James Drury, Kit Carlsen
Mrs . Charley Stough and observers: Mrs. Evelyn Hastings and
Natashi Kuzmanovic.

The minutes were approved as distributed.
~~s. Stough was welcomed to the Board by Chairman Coan.

Mrs. Stough is the new
member of the Lawrence Public Library Board appointed to take the place of Barbara
Crews who has served two consecutive four year terms.
The Director 's report included a review of the statistics and financial report
and a short report on the meeting with the Commissioners in regard to the Revenue
Sharing funds to be distributed to the City. They were interested in the statistics
of books owned by the library, the acquis±tions, withdrawals, etc. and also the
registrations of city and county borrowers. There were suggestions that needs of three
groups; Concerned Black Parents, East Lawrence Community Center and the Ballard
Center be considered in the purchase of books with these funds. Mr. Mayo stated that
the practice of the Library has been to purchase some sixty to seventy of the BOO
books published by or about the minority groups each year.
Figures given by the State Librarian estimate that approximately $105 ,000 will be
received by libraries over the state of Kansas from the Revenue Sharing Funds.
Lawrence expects to receive $15,000.
State Libra rian Dean Gross has reeigned his position effective as of July 31, 1973.
Mr. Mayo reports he is now working on 1974 budget figures. The evaluation figures
given him show an estimated three million dollar increase. There is a carryover of
1972 funds in the amount of $10,000 which represents tax funds and proceeds from the
auction of furniture from the old library.

A card fron the Board of Directors has been mailed to Barbara Crews.
ordered for her has still not been received.

A gift book

The General Electric Company is replacing all ballasts originally installed in the
fluorescent lighting fixtures.
The roof has been built up by the Rhoads Roofing Company. After the last Ya±n, Mr .
Mayo noted the leaking stains did not appear. Apparently this problem has been fixed
and the next step will be repainting of the stained areas.
Harrison Lawn Service has been hired again for the lawn maintenance. The dead trees
and shrubs are to be reolaced
after consultation with the landscape man from the
•
architect's office and Mr. Harrison .

�REGULAR MEETING
July 17, 1973
The Board of Directors of the Lawrence Public Library held it's regular monthly
meeting July 17, 1973 at 4:00 in the Conference Room.
Present were:

Chairman Clark Coan, James Drury, Howard Wiseman, Mrs. Kit Carlsen,
Mrs . Charles Stough and observers: Natasha Kuzmanovic and Mrs.
Evelyn Hastings.

Minutes of the June meeting were approved as distributed.

•

The Director's report included a financial report and budget survey . Mr. Mayo
reported to the Board that the last inventory of the book colaection had been taken
approximately six years ago. He brDefly outlined the procedure involved in taking
an inventory and asked the board's approval for closing the library for four days
in order to accomplish such.inventory. Mrs. Stough made a motion that Board of
Directors grant approval of such inventor,y and that the library be closed a few
days prior to Christmas. Mr. Wiseman seconded the motion and it passed.
Mr • • Mayo told the Board that an insurance floater policy insuring the exhibits
had been purchased. This is a $3 , 000 marine floater insuring $250.00 per item
maximum with a $50.00 deductible and the cost is $30 .00 premium per year.

Mr. Mayo reported on the American Library Assn. conference held in Los Vegas,
Nevada attended by Bonnie Dillard from the Reference Department and Mr. Mayo.
One of the new services offered by the jobbers is being able to order a book,
complete with book jacket, card pocket, card and cataloging at an approximate
cost of 89¢ each for the service. Mr. Mayo feels this may be something helpful
in the processing department when it is available.
A C.A.L.L. meeting is scheduled tonight in the Auditorium to make plans for the
1974 book fair.
Under old business portion of the meeting, it was announced that a check in the
amount of $1,448 from the Mabel Biggar Estate has been received. Howard Wiseman
made a motion, seconded by James Drury, that the check be deposited to the Library
Account to be carried over and earmarked for the 1975 budget. Motion carried unanimously.
A report was made on the inquiries from other libraries on their overdue fines
and charges. A motion was made by James Drury, seconded by Kit Carlsen, that the
overdue fines charged by the Lawrence Library be increased from 4¢ to 5¢ per day
with a maximum charge per book of $1 .00, this increase becoming effective as of
January 1, 1974. Unanimously carried.
Under new business a motion was made by Howard Wiseman that the Board extend
amployment
to M~s. Helen Osma through the.year ~974. The motion was eeconded
by Mrs. Stough and approved unanimously. Th1s act1on was necessary as a requirement
by Kpers for employees passing their 70th birthday.
Mr. Mayo reported that a letter from the Lib:ary.Board to Mr. McE~hen7y expressing .
gratitude of the Board to the C.A.L.L. organ1zat1on a~d Mrs. Bonn1e D1llard for the1r
efforts in the Book Fair Sale was mailed from his off1ce .

�REGULAR f-1EEITING

November 20, 1973
The Board of Directors of the Lawrence Public Library held its regular meeting,
November 20, 1973 at 4:00 p.m. in the Conference room.
Members present for the meeting were: Chairman Clark Coan, Hmo1ard v1iseman,
Larry Flannery, Mrs. Charles Stough, Mrs. Kit Carlsen and James Drury. Mrs. Evelyn
Hastings, observer from the League of Women's Voters was present.
The October minutes were approved as distributed by mail.
The Director's report included discussion of the Budget Survey, Statistics and use
of the meeting rooms. There have been inqu1ries for use of the rooms for fund raising projects from various clubs or groups. The board suggested the wording of the
present oolicy be changed showing the addition of a definition for commercial i.e.
Commercial is defined to include bazaar or special benefit sales. The one exc~ption
to this part of the policy is for the C.A.L.L. group using the facilities available
in raising funds for the benefit of the Library.
A contract has been receiv€d from the state for the Interlibrary Loan Operation.
James Drury made a motion, seconded by Larrv Flannery, that the contract in the
amount of $1,632.00 be signed. Motion passed unanimously. vhairman Coan asked that
it be recorded that the amount be designated as $1,6)2.00 abrogating the $2,000.00
amount as recorded in the September minutes.

The Board suggested to Mr. Mayo that the words "revenue sharing fund"
pauerbacks purchased by the Library for use in Penn House and Ballard Center and also
in the books added to the collection in the library.

The Kansas Library Association has hired a lobbyist, David Mills of Arkansas City
to work in behalf of the libraries on State Aid. The K.L.A. is paying $4,000 of
the $8,000 necessary for payment of this owrk and has asked individual libraries
for the balance of the fund.
Mrs. Stough made a motion that the Lawrence Public Library be on record as supporting
the concept of state aid for public libraries. This was seconded by Larry Flanner,y.
The motion passed with 1 abstaining vote.
Mr. Mayo was asked to find out from the other libraries the figure amount each would
be willing to contribute towards the $4,000.
The Board asked Mr. Mayo to write to the Topeka Library expressing an interest on the
part of the Lawrence Library in the purchase of one of the old bookmobiles when they
are replaced by the ne1-1 one pure hased with Revenue Sharing Funds.
Bills totaling ~19,401.56 were approved by roll call vote.
December 18, 1973 was the date announced for the next regular meeting.
