Members Present: ESSEX COUNTY LIBRARY BOARD FALL TOUR 9:30 a.m., Saturday, October 28, 2000 Mr. Varga, Messrs. AtlsoD, DiMenna and Warden O'Neil Chief Librarian George, Manager of Branches Thompson Ail branch libraries north of County Road 8 were visited: the one in LaSalle, the one in Tecumseh and the four in Lakeshore: Lakeshore, Stoney Point, Comber and Woodslee. The Board members met the staff at each Library, discussed services and made a brief assessment of the physical facilities. At LaSalle, it was noted that this Library had set a new standard for facilities. It was hoped that this would be emulated in Tecumseh which was now severely crowded due to the relocation of materials that followed the closure of one of the two Drevious branches in the Municipality. Leaks in the roof at the Lakeshore Branch had been a problem since the Library opened. The Town of Lakeshore had a reroofing job done recently that it was hoped would solve the problems but to date, leaks were still occurring. The low lighting level in the program room at the Lakeshore Library was also a concern. At the Stoney Point Library the condition of the outer rear door was noted. Roof leaks were also noted at the Comber Library but it was hoped that a recent cleaning of the roof drains was all that was necessary to prevent further leaking. The need for exterior painting by the Town of Lakeshore at the Woodslee Library was also noted. Mr. DiMenna had generously saved the Board the rental fee for a van by supplying his own vehicle for the tour. chairperson Varga declared the meeting to be of extraordinary length and set the per diem at one and a half the regular rate. Ail of which is respectfully submitted. Mr. William Varga, Chairperson
