_ Librarian's Report: Trustee Taylor asked if every commission in the
City had to report twice a year on the attendance record of the
Commissioners. Mrs. Bergsing said yes.
There was discussion regarding the literature workshop that was
presented by Burlingame Library staff for the staff members of the other
P.L.S. libraries.
Mr. Escoffier explained about the "on-line" catalog. He further
explained that because of some unexpected delays and the complexity of
the conversion that it might be 1993 or 1994 before there is an automated
catalog at the Burlingame Public Library. Some discussion followed.
Trustee Blevins had asked "What's a Beeple?" Mrs. Bergsing reported
that a "Beeple" is the Children's Summer Reading Club mascot. There is a
stuffed version at the Children's Circulation Desk. The name "Beeple"
originated from "BPL" which is more commonly known as Burlingame
Public Library.
