The Library Board of the City pf Wylie met in regular session on Monday,

Pat Zimmerman, Judy Lippe, Carol Berry, Betty Stephens, and Librarian
Beverly Shockley.
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Robert Fultz. The minutes of
the November 30 meeting were read and approved as read.
The monthly activity report for November was reviewed. The average per
day circulation was up for the month. The need for publicity was mentioned
and it was agreed that perhaps this could be pursued after the holidays.
Each Board member reported that they had contacted the people suggested from
the previous Christmas Page list. The response had appeared to be very
positive. The deadline is Wednesday, December 16. Beverly Shockley
will compile the list for the paper and see that is delivered to them for
publication.
Various publicity opportunities will be discussed in the future. It was
felt this would be important. Items in the newspaper will be included in
this effort. Rita Smith mentioned the possibility of some social activity
to inform people about the library as well as to encourage a Friends of
the Library organization.
Robert Fultz mentioned an adult learning center in the library. This would
cooperative with the school as Betty Stephens mentioned the GED program and
Adult Literacy classes already operated by the WISD. The need for automation
is growing but it was felt that it was not necessary at this time.
The meeting was adjourned.
