OLD BUSINESS
Discussion/Recommendation -- Library Subcommittee Meeting Date
Commissioner Brenckle reported the Court System did not wait to hold a meeting with
the Library Subcommittee and removed the books from the Law Library. The books
are currently being stored by the Youth Court. It was also noted, no subcommittee
meeting would be held at this point.
ITEM 6:
NEW BUSINESS
Discussion-- Shelving
It was reported, a call was received from the Court Clerk stating the Court System
wished to donate new book shelving (removed from the Law Library) to the Kenai
Library. The value of the shelving was estimated at approximately $15,000. Storage
space for the shelving would need to be located until space is available for placement at
the library. Discussion followed and it was suggested, if a library addition goes
forward, the funds previously donated by the Friends of the Library for purchase of
furniture would go much farther. It will probably be necessary to approach the public
sector to find storage space to rent or to be donated for the shelving. If donated, a tax
deduction may~be available for the one donating the space.
