The sub-committee followed up on the suggestion made at the December meeting , and agreed that having a few more hours available for the librarian and assistant librarian to work when there are no patrons in the building is a necessity and that productivity would result . Some decisions will have to be made with regard to accessibility to the building . There was concensus that there should not be any "closed" sign on the door . It was recommended that one hour' s additional time for three days a week for the librarian and assistant librarian - Wednesday and Friday at the end of the present hours ; and Thursday before the opening hour would be good . It was moved by A. FitzGerald and seconded by A. Swenson to include in the salary and wage budget presentation for . fiscal 1986 , an increase in the current working hours - three hours each - for the librarian and assistant librarian . The vote was unanimous . B . Other Mrs . Kingsley reported that Mr . Samuel Re is willing .to approach the Exxon Annuitants Fund again for library equipment , and that she had suggested a copy machine. This matter will be explored further . She presented several graphs showing changes in relation to circulation, number of books , budget etc . , over the years . There was consensus that these charts did not give a full and adequate picture , and possibly percentage comparisons would be . more meaningful . ;,ys
