Escoffier City Librarian 01/27/94 Minutes-January �_ Page.2 City Librarian's Report February 15, 1994 Foundation Wins Approval The City Council unanimously endorsed the concept of a Library Foundation for the benefit of the Burlingame Public Library! This action, taken at the February 7th, 1994 meeting, sets the stage for development of the foundation. The next steps in the process will be part of the Board agenda for February. Schematic Design Wrap-Up Architect Cynthia Ripley presented her revised schematic designs for the exterior envelope of the new library building at the January 19th Council meeting. At that meeting, Council approved the revised concept drawings, along with an artist's rendering of the new library building. At the Council goals session on January 22nd, Council received packets containing a rendering of the proposed building, along with a preliminary timeline. Council confirmed their desire to move ahead with the project and requested that the Library Board of Trustees offer a public session on the new building. Public Briefing on the Building The Library Board met at a Special Meeting on January 31 st, to discuss the public briefing. The consensus of the Board was to offer the session on March 1 st, 1994, at 7:30 pm in the Library Community Room. The agenda will include: background on the project, a presentation by the architect, and an unveiling of a detailed building model, showing some interior spaces. Staff will handle publicity. The Boutique Villager is planning publicity for the event. Pacific Cable will be asked to tape the event for later viewing on the Burlingame channel. Architect Selection The architect selection process will begin shortly to select an architect to complete the project. Council has decided on an open Request for Proposal process. RFP's will be sent to ten local architects who have designed libraries and are familiar with historical structures. The RFP's will be released in March. -1- Temporary Quarters The search continues on viable options for a temporary quarters for the library function during construction. We are exploring existing buildings available in the central Burlingame area. We will also be looking at portable or prefab structures which might be constructed on a city-owned site. Cabling and Telecommunications Consulting At the Board's request, I have written to Susan Herman to seek her assistance in telecommunication issues for the new building. I have proposed a meeting with Susan for the May Board meeting. Peninsula Automated Network Update The Dynix contract for the automated system upgrade was signed on February 7th. Within the next 14 days, PLAN representatives will meet with Dynix to set up an implementation schedule. An RFP has been written and released to prospective bidders to bid on the cabling of the 33 sites in the system. Prospective qualified vendors will do a a walk through on all sites to better determine individual library needs. Bids are due March 18th. Selection will be complete by April 7th. Initial work will begin in May. All cabling will be complete by August 31st. The system is expected to be fully operational in the fall. PLS/South Bay Legislative Breakfast The annual Legislative Breakfast has been scheduled for May 14th, featuring South Bay Congressman Norman Y. Mineta. Details and invitations will follow. Reference Division The Reference Division reports that staff attended a tour of the Sutro Library Branch of the State Library to learn of resource available for our users. The PLS Reference Librarian discussed the use of CD Roms in peninsula libraries, along with Internet and Dynix. The move to increased use technology is affecting every facet of library service. Celebrate Literacy Award Our own Children's Librarian, Joan Manini, was honored with the San Mateo County Reading Association's Celebrate Literacy Award for 1994. This award, established by the International Reading Association, is given to outstanding educators, volunteers, and community leaders who, through their exemplary efforts, have furthered the cause of literacy. Joan will be honored at a dinner in her honor on February 24th, 1994 at the Basque Cultural Center, South San Francisco. Congratulations Joan! -2- Children's Services Cathy Somerton completed 20 programs for younger readers during the month, reaching a total of 489 children. A letter went out to all schools scheduling programs on a once every two months basis. The January Poetry month was a success with 152 books given out to children who brought in a poem to the library. The Friends sponsored the program by purchasing the books. Lisa Dunseth handled publicity for the event. For the second month, the Children's Division is publicizing programs via a calendar format. Easton Branch This month, Lisa Dunseth has finished shifting and labeling all the children's books and has begun weeding the nonfiction materials. Planning is underway for the re-carpeting project. Plans for the installation of Dynix have begun and decisions have been made on wiring for the Branch. A recycled plexiglas holder has been installed for tax distribution. A small collection of paperback novels which have been made into movies is popular. Circulation Division The day after the Martin Luther King Holiday was one of the busiest post holiday service days. In addition to the holiday, a power outage on the Sunday before resulted in thousands of books to recover and discharge from the system. The first in a series of circulation meetings will be held on February 10th following the general staff meeting. This will be an input and information session to address workload and procedural issues. The centralization of circulation of all materials has caused some concerns which we will begin to address.
