MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 18TH, 1992 :
Trustee Cannon questioned that the Minutes may not have adequately
reflected the concern she felt about any cuts in hours and services at the
Main Library as well as the Branch. After discussion, the Board agreed
that the Minutes of the February meeting were accurate because the
discussion Yegarding cuts at the Main Library had been held at some length
at the January meeting. After further discussion the Board agreed to let
the Minutes stand but wanted it clearly on the record that the Board was
aot in favor of any cuts in library service at either library.
Librarian Bergsing followed up on the discussion by reminding the
Board, that if more cuts became necessary in the future, they should not
decimate the Main Library to save the Branch. Two mediocre libraries were
not in the best interests oflibrary service to the people of Burlingame.
President Blevins asked that the Minutes of the meeting be corrected
on page 2, under New Business , part b, to read as follows : M/S/C that the
CALTAC membership will be paid out of the Trustees Special Fund in the

LIBRARIAN' S REPORT
April 21 , 1992
Budget
The budget has been submitted to the City Manager, with the requested
2% maximum increase. The budget included projected salaries , although
bargaining groups have not yet negotiated with the City. Reductions in the
on-call budget are the only reductions in staff .
Included in the City Manager' s proposed budget is the recommendation
that the overdue fines be raised from Sc and 10c to 10c and 20c. You need
to formally approve this raise. At the April PLS Council meeting, all the
libraries (except South San Francisco) reported that they intend to zaise
fines to this level beginning July 1st. South City is still uncertain what
it will do.
Building Project
Staff is reviewing the space projections made by Architect Cynthia
Ripley and Library Consultant Jane Light in preparation for space planning
for the building. The supervisors are brainstorming options for space.
Patti and Al met with Cynthia Ripley on April 9th, and Cynthia met with the
Library Supervisors on April 17th. I ' ll give you an update at your
meeting.
Circulation Statistics
Included in your packet are the circulation statisitcs for February
and March for the hours that we discussed closing if further budget
Seductions became necessary. They are revealing in that they show heavier
use on Friday nights than we might have assumed.
System Advisory Board Representative
For a number of years the Burlingame Library Board of Trustees has
recommended a member of the Board to the City Council for appointment to
the PLS Advisory Board. Trustee Robertson has done an outstnding job as
Burlingame ' s representative for two two-year terms. She is not eligible to
be reappointed.
It is my understanding that Trustee Cannon is willing to serve. If
you wish to continue your past practice then you need to approve the
recommendation to Council.
Problem Patron
The Burlingame City Attorney has filed a temporary Restraining Order
against a problem patron, Mr. James Vivian. We are scheduled for a court
hearing on Monday, April 20th, to make the Restraining Order permanent.
Mr. Vivian has made repeated harassing phone calls to the City Librarian as
well as the City Manager and members of the City Council. I ' ll give you a
report at your meeting.

Geac
PLAN brought up the On-line Public Catalog (OPC) for staff use
_.wring the month. Staff training has begun in earnest. Esther Cummings is
our chief trainer. She has been arranging four-person training sessions
during the past few weeks .
A few glitches remain after the conversion, particularly a group of
newer records with one-word titles which were added during 1991 . This and
several other items will be corrected in the coming weeks .
Some items will remain incomplete for now. The PLS Council voted not
to implement the Authorities software which would have provided cross-
references in the database from entries or subjects which are not used to
those that are used. Due to the expense and time which this operation
would take, it was tabled for now.
The money earmarked for this project will be used to fund the Sth full
function processor. This move was considered a very high priority by
consultant Jim Schmidt, who has been hired by PLS to evaluate the progress
of the Geac system. Schmidt maintains that our Geac system is operating at
or beyond peak capacity at times and needs another full-function processor
and additional memory.
A number of staff from PLS libraries met with a Geac representative to
hear about their new system. We have asked for a quote.
,mericans with Disabilities Act Job Descriptions
A task force consisting of Esther, Deanna and Al have begun the
daunting task of rewriting the library job descriptions to meet the new ADA
requirements. The group has met several times, and has formed a good
foundation for future work. Much of the entry level Library Assistant
description is complete. This description will assist us in moving through
the remainder of the para-professional classes .
Reference Division
On March 10th and 12th, Dan attended an effective writing workshop at
West Orange Library sponsored by the Cities Training Consortium. The
instructor, Richard Barnhart, had some good, practical tips on how to
.improve writing letters, memos, and reports.
Esther attended a FLS Reference Committee meeting on Tuesday, March
24. Many items were discussed including the new Online Public Catalog and
CD ROM products for libraries. Selections of materials for PLS purchase
were made.
On March 13 , Dan attended a meeting at the Community Information
Project to 'Learn how Burlingame Library could help update Inforama. The
coming edition will be a combined Southbay/PLS venture.
PAGE 2
Lora, Dan, Sandy and several other Burlingame staff members visited
the Multicultural Book Fair on March 18th. The Book Fair had much to offer
ncluding two excellent speakers and a variety of vendors. Lora found a
_ ew language titles to order for the library. Dan established contact with
librarians from other local systems that will help in ordering fiction
paperbacks for our language collection.
Sandy has received 23 evaluations of the Fair to date and the response
was favorable. The multicultural Fiction bocklist, "Mosaic, " made its debut
at the fair and comments were excellent. Sandy was the editor of the list
which will be distributed to local libraries . The T-shirts, with "Library"
in many languages , were also a hit! They cost $ 10 . 00 each and come in
five colors ! Proceeds go to PLS in support of future programs .
An interesting reference question for March was the Gaelic translation
for Happy Birthday. Several foreign phrase dictionaries and the Gaelic
Dictionary were checked with out good results. Maribeth offered to call
back the patron after checking with our own Michael Donnellan later in the
day. However, a few minutes later, Maribeth had the good fortune of
helping an Irish patron locate two books and in gratitude, she offered to
translate Happy Birthday into Gaelic! ! Breithla shona duit! (pronounced
.Brehlaw hone ditch) .
Children' s Services
Cathy Somerton reports a total of 25 programs during the month
teaching a total of 558 children and adults. Planning was begun during the
ionth for the summer programs for pre-school children. "A Shoe-full of
_ stories" will be the theme this year. .
Cathy sent a letter to all of the Burlingame and Hillsborough
kindergartens asking that they contact her to schedule a program in the
next couple of months. She plans to visit each of the kindergartens to
talk about the library, the summer programs, and distribute library card
applications.
Cathy also prepared a Parent Letter on "self-esteem" to send out in
April. A sample is in your packet.
National Library Week
Burlingame Public Library promoted National Library Week (April 5-11 )
by scheduling three special library tours throughout the week and inviting
local author Gus Lee to give a talk on his bestselling book "China Boy" .
The weekday tours were cancelled due to lack of participation; however,
the Saturday morning tour was given for two interested patrons. About 30
people attended Gus Lee ' s talk on April 9th and the response was very
enthusiastic. Mr. Lee talked about his positive, personal experience with
libraries and stressed the need for everyone to show active support for
their local libraries.

Proarams and Exhibits
The Minotaur Poetry Reading Series entertained about 50 people at the
