At the February meeting, the Library Board recommended a one year contract for a library rental book service. McNaughton Libraries, Inc., a.�reegto furnish an inventory of 300 current books in demand with 30 new book replacements per average month (360 new books per year). The cost of this service would be $105.00 per month, and would be financed out of the library account, 228, in the general fund.
