Franklin trustee resigns from library board and clerk post
Constance Brandenburg has resigned as a Franklin Public Library trustee and as clerk treasurer of the board, effective immediately for the latter and Sept. 1 for the former. A replacement will be submitted to the Franklin school board for approval. The board also budgeted 110000 for 1979 to the Warren County Budget Commission, noting library services rely on intangibles tax. Librarian Barbara Bruno reported 136 children enrolled in summer reading with favorable parent feedback and potential school-year extension. A July Wednesday children's movie program drew a near capacity crowd of 47, with extra showings possible if attendance rises. The board declined Ohio Council on Aging’s request to process energy discount forms, and renewed a maintenance agreement with Steve Burggraf at 300 monthly for one year. Next meeting is Aug 2, with September moved to the 13th.
