RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS, COUNCIL AND DEPARTMENT HEADS: Councilman Stout referred to the minutes of the Library Board on July llth and August 1st, wherein they asked the Council Library Committee to meet with the Board and Miss Rose Vainstein, State Library Consultant. The Board wrote to the School Board and the School Board replied that they will give consideration to any request which is received from the Library Board in regard to a branch library. It was the opinion of the Board of Education that the Library Board should select a specific site and then make a proposal to the School Board for its use by the City for library purposes.
