Miss Smith reported on the library's activities for National Library Week.
There were two feature stories and two photographs in the Plainview Daily Herald.
The Friends of the Library sponsored an Open House on April 19 and there was
also a continuous film showing on that day. Miss Smith was requested to send a
thank you letter to the Friends for their sponsorship of the Open House.
The Committee then considered the proposed budget request for 1975 - 1976.
The proposed budget was approved with corrections as noted. Miss Smith will
draft a letter from Mrs. Igo to the Mayor and City Council submitting the bud-
get and requesting an audience for a budget hearing.
The Committee discussed County budget requests and possible County services.
The request should be presented to the Commissioners in July. Miss Smith will
ask Mr. Peckham when the budget request should be submitted.
Mrs. Igo read a letter from Penny Worley in which she asked for a summer
position. Miss Worley will receive her MLS degree from the University of Miss-
ouri in August. It was decided to request $1,500 from the County to hire Miss
Worley for the summer. The $1,500 would include a salary of $2.35 an hour for
12 weeks and travel expenses.
The position will be requested as an outreach program. She would be avail-
able to go to Abernathy, Hale Center, and Petersburg to give film showings, tech-
nical assistance and any help the libraries might request.
Mrs. Curry will call for an appointment with the Commissioners and Miss
Smith will compile pertinent statistics, information, and justifications.

met with the Lamb County Library Board to advise them on reorganization and their
duties and responsibilities.
Mrs. Igo announced that the Lubbock Area Library System would meet on Wednes-
