Beverly, January 25, 1940
The regular meeting of the Board was held on Thursday, January 25th at 4 P.M., with Miss
Loring, Mrs. Glidden and Mr. Delaney in attendance.
Since there was not a quorum, no new business was taken up.
The report of the meeting of December 28 was read and approved, as was the report of
the Circulation Committee, recommending the purchase of 31 new titles and the acceptance of 5
gifts.
Mr. Delaney reported, for the Administration Committee, that the leaks at the Main
Library were caused by defects in the brick wall and around a skylight, not by trouble in the new
roof itself. Also that the leaks at the Farms Branch have been caused by water seeping through
the terra cotta trimming, not through the roof itself.
Voted: to adjourn
