We advertised for a part-time clerical worker, typing required,
and received 16 applications. In selecting the appl!cations I thought
most worthy of consideration 1 did the 'fQllowing: ll) A:lim"lnated
those applicants f~om outside Muskego. \2) Eliminated those appli-
ca~t8 not yet 21 years of age. (J) Gave pref~renoe to those people
who had previously worked in a library. ~4) Required flexlbillty
since this person who is hi'red might have to fill either after-
noon or evening hours if the regularly schøduled person we.re not
available.
The majority of applicants seemed very equal in ability,
personal! ty, and experience. Many were women who wanted t.o work
aga1"n after raising families. Others were housewives wanting to
øupplemertt :income. Several withdrew their ,9ppllcatlon after f ind-
lng out that the position was for only six hours a week.
oOOOOOOQuO;Ju-JoouaoCi,j '000
Mrs. Mildred Keithley, W.163-S.?964 Bay Lane .PI.
She is presently employed at the ~ranklln Schoa~ District
but is interested in working two evenings a week. Her qualifi-
oations are muck superior to any of the èJther appl"ican-ts in-
cluding a masters degree in Education and 22 oredits in tib~ary
Soience. (~he is employed as librarian at Fr'f!mklin High school.)
She would be willing to work additional höurs in the summer when
the regular staff are on vacation, How,ver, tria would be a side-
line for her and s}!e is not 1rrt~lrested in additional hours during
the sOhaol year. ~he would not be available for substltutlo~ In
case of emergency during the day and, of course, she 1s not inter-
ested ift a possible expa.nsion of hours (except durlngthe summer}.
If she 1s hired Margaret Lindhorst would not work the evenings
and would work l2 hours a week Rt 2.00 an hour. Mrs. Keithley
would probably expect a.bout 10.00 an evening. The budget would
cover this as Mrs. ~indhorst would be working for a dollar art hour
less than oarba:r'a(Yahr and l'irs. t\ei thley would 'be worklngfor the
same as barbara. h savings of about 2.20 a week on the estimated
salaries). t\lthough at present rlargaret doesn't care to work more
than the 12 hours beca.use of the dampness, she would be interested
when the library is moved.
Mrs. James ~pencer (Alice). 5. ?6~W.1499? Velva Dr.
She has experience as a .Librar>1.an Assistant (equivalent to
Jea.n .Lu.ther's position) under l'lrs. Berntece Gauger, Librarian, and
has done typing, catalog cards, pocket~, shelving, book oroet's (ba.sic-
dl)' the type at thing we require). She has two years of college. She seems very pleasant and is willing to substitute fiS neeòed. She
1s lnterested in future expans:ion.
Mrs. Nickle Sobolewski, W l66.S.6?A? Oak Hill Dr.
She had done volunteer lï.brary work under Mrs, Pelzmarm '. She

can type but hasn't had the varied work experience of some of the others.
Mrs.. Marvelyn nuth Purall t
W, l80-~. 78.59 Racine Av~.
She has äbout nine years work experience including typing and bookkeeping., An added advantage is that she is within walking distance of the library.
If Mrs. Spencer, Mrs. Sobolewski, or Mrs. ~ufall were hired the pos:ition would be as follows;
Margaret ~1ndhorst would take oVe:r the major1 ty or Barbara Yahr's work. ~he will have the daytime work in any CRse. She will also work two nights a week. The new clerical worker will take over the work Margaret J....1:ndhorst .previously did.
