Williams and Leslie B. Merritt.
Mr. Krieger presented the resignation of Mrs. M.L. Van Slyke as librarian to become effective July 24, 1951.
Moved by Mrs. Williams that the resignation be accepted. Motion carried. The board instructed its chairman to send a letter to Mrs. Van Slyke expressing regrets at the loss of her services and stating appreciation for her work over many years as head librarian.
Moved by Mrs. Williams that Ina Hight, now assistant librarian, be appointed head librarian to succeed Mrs. Van Slyke. Motion carried.
Mrs. Hight met with the board to report on the library workshop meetings she recently attended at St. Mary's Lake near Battle Creek. State library officials there had told her informally Howell was jeopardizing its state financial aid by operating its library under deficit financing. Mr. Krieger explained the state library personnel was perhaps under a false impression as this library has no present debt. Its appropriations are limited by city charter to a one-mill assessment on property and that the difference between overall costs and appropriations is made up from the city's general fund. However, the matter has been presented to Mayor Chas. H. Sutton for such consideration as city officials will give it.
Mrs. Hight was instructed by the board to survey possibilities of keeping the library open to the public on its usual schedule yet stager the hours of duty so that the work week for library personnel is 24 hours.
Moved by Mr. Merritt that Mrs. Hight's salary as head librarian be set at $100 for the four weeks payroll period. Motion carried.
Moved by Mrs. Williams that Ruth Bennett be retained as the library clerk with salary of $60 for the four-weeks payroll period. Motion carried.
Mrs. Hight presented the names of two persons who had interviewed her for work as assistant librarian, one of whom has the qualifications required by the state for libraries receiving state aid. The meeting adjourned at 9PM. Leslie B. Merritt, Secretary
