CORRESPONDENCE:
Enclosed in the Trustees packet was a letter of protest to Pacific
Bell regarding charges for telephone directories. Trustee Mink asked
if there was some way to purchase these direct from individual calling
areas. Al Escoffier said that would consist of ordering telephone
books from a number of telephone companies. He did say, however, that
Trustee Mink's suggestion was a good one and that staff would
investigate this and other alternatives.
Secretary Blevins read a letter from Mrs. Haynes complimenting
Children's Librarian Joan Leach on the outstanding program she did for
the Senior Citizen's Group called "The Gathering" at St . Paul 's
Episcopal Church.

IBRARIAN'S REPORT:
The Board members asked if the Street Department was going to take
away the green parking area after Librarian Bergsing had written the
note of thanks to Mr. Kirkup. Judy Gladysz said she thought Mr. Kirkup
was referring to the green area accross the street by the condominiums.
Trustee Harvey said that was his understanding also. However, he also
felt that there had been some discussion regarding the relocation of
the book drop with a potential net gain of 2 parking spaces. Trustee
Mink asked how the parking monitoring was going and Al Escoffier
replied that the monitoring had stopped for the moment however staff
would resume monitoring if short term parking is threatened. Discussion
ensued.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS=
Street Parkina was discussed in conjunction with the Librarian's
Report .
CLA Conference: Trustee Nagle and Trustee Blevins said they plan to
attend the California Library Association Conference and Assistant
Librarian Escoffier said he would and advise them of the details.
NEW BUSINESS:
Report of meeting with Geac: Mr. Escoffier reported on a meeting
held on October 15th with Hans Kleinheinz, Vice-President of Library
Operations for the Geac Corporation. Also in attendance were Ray
French, Field Manager, and Kate Hixon, Project Manager, both from
Geac's Regional Office in Los Angeles.
At the meeting, the organizational structure of Geac was reviewed.
In addition, Kleinheinz reported a major product development at Geac
which will permit systems such as our own to expand as needed. He
anticipated availability of such hardware in the second quarter of
1986. In addition, Eric Willis, software programmer for Geac, will be
on Board in November to work with our software to make it more
efficient and potentially improve response time.
Mr. Escoffier also reported that a "power conditioner" is being
installed on October 16th at the Central Site. The power conditioner
will help smooth out power surges on electrical lines leading to the
main computer. These surges have been considered by many to be a major
cause of system failure.
Mr. Escoffier said PLAN has asked for a response in writing, as
well as an action plan from Geac headquarters. ( this is in response to
a recent letter from the PLAN Board of Directors ). President Nagle
asked to have a copy of the letter PLAN wrote to Geac available at the
next Board meeting.
Trustee Mink asked if staff was spending more or less time with
the patrons and Mr. Escoffier replied "more one on one time" however
this is a better method for tracking fines, overdues, reserves, etc.

Tal in Buildings :
Mr. Escoffier stated that .the "Talking Buildings" workshop was
excellent . He said the content included an overview of the planning
process for library buildings: needs assessment , feasibility study,
building program, architect and design selection. The speakers
included a Library Designer, Library Architect and several Library
Directors. Ray Holt, a prominent Library Consultant who did a study of
Burlingame Library Services in 1968, was both a speaker and moderator.
Those in `attendance at the workshop learned a great deal about the
specifics of space planning and determining future projections for
library service.
Miscellaneous:
The Library Board of Trustees made a motion to donate $200.00 from
the Special Fund for Library employee recognition. M/S/C (Blevins,
Harvey ) unanimously to keep $200.00 available for that purpose.
Trustee Weatherbe noticed that there was a significant increase in
the Branch circulation statistics during the past month.
The Trustees approved that the new cash register should be
currently paid out of the Special Fund (and later reimbursed from the
regular operating budget ). The new cash register was a necessary
purchase because of the burglary a few weeks ago in which the existing
cash register was damaged beyond repair.
The Board was reminded of the change of date for the November Board
meeting by Library Secretary Gladysz.
ADJOURNMENT:
The meeting of October 1Sth, 1985 was adjourned at S:OOpm with the
next meeting scheduled for November 12th. IRS, at 4=3Opm in the
California Room.
Respectfully submitted,
Alfred H. Escoffier for

LIBRARIAN'S REPORT
November 1985
Automated Circulation
There has been considerable progress during the past month
regarding"PLAN's relationship with Geac. First there was the meeting
with Hans Kleinheinz, Vice-President of Library operations for Geac on
October 15th. Mr. Escoffier reported to you on that meeting at your
October Board Meeting. Included in the packet , is a follow-up letter
from Mr. Kleinheinz about the meeting. I have also included the
Administrative Council 's letter to Geac, the reply from Project
Manager, Kate Hixson, a Geac organization chart for customer support , a
job description for the Geac project manager and Lois Kershner's
report.
At the P.L.S. Council meeting of November 5th, Eric Willis and
Kate Hixson from Geac were in attendance and outlined the further steps
that Geac intends to take at this time to stablilize the system. The
Council also voted unanimously to redo the 45-day reliability test
beginning in early December, and agreed to withhold payment of the next
installment on the contract until successful completion of that test .
Needless to say, Mr. Willis and Ms. Hixson said they would have to
check with the home office in Toronto regarding Geac's reaction to this
decision.
The Council also received a report on the two workshops that were
held for circulation personnel on how to deal with downtime on the
system. Approximately 70 people ( system-wide ) learned more about the
PLAN priorities for assisting libraries with downtime, worked together
on stress reduction for staff when down, and reviewed some helpful
phrases and modes of dealing with the public when the system is down.
The workshops brought out some interesting misconceptions from
staff about the system and everyone felt the workshops were very
worthwhile. If you wish more information, Al Escoffier attended the
workshops and he can give you a more complete report .
Overall , I remain optimistic about the system. I believe these
current problems will be resolved, and to some extent were probably to
be expected in a system as large and complex as this .
It is my understanding that concerns about the system were raised
at the Council meeting on November 4th, and we need to take some time
to answer the questions.
In addition, Trustee Mink attended the P.L.S. Administrative
�-' Council meeting on November 5th and she may wish to add more
information on the meeting.

There appears to be some cracks in the stucco over one of the
windows in the big reading room at the Main Library. This may require
some attention. We may have spotted termites again at the Branch, and
finally, 'the new tenant in the Duncan building, Fox and Carskadon, want
to make some architectural changes in the building. Trustee Harvey will
bring us up-to-date at the meeting on the plans for the Duncan
building.
Branch Collection AAn Programs
At the Council meeting on Monday, November 4th, Councilman
Pagliaro asked about the book budget and children's picture book
collection at the Branch. We have gathered together some figures and a
description of the Branch program to answer his concerns. We' ll have
them ready in time for your meeting.
Parking
Nothing further has been done by Public Works regarding short term
parking. Did any of you have any ideas or suggestions?
Serviceo an Programs
The Friends sponsored a very successful booksale on October 18,
19, 20, earning over $ 2,9SO.00 for the library. The Friends also
sponsored a delightful evening of information and entertainment from
Albert Wilson, the prominent local television gardner. Mr. Wilson's
talk "Spring Cleaning in the Fall Garden, " humorously covered aspects
of fall preparation for Spring planting.
Our Halloween children's program, October 26, featured Witchazel.
Attendance was between 80 and 90 enthusiastic children and their
families.
Our Annual Family Christmas Program is scheduled for Saturday,
December 7th, 11 :00 am in the Children's Room. Our entertainment will
feature Steve Overton's Old World Puppet Theatre in an all-new
production: " Who is that Reindeer?"
We are also sponsoring a program on Leonardo da Vinci on December
12, featuring a docent from the Museum Society. Merge Johansen has
planned this tie-in with the Leonardo exhibit at the California Palace
of the Legion of Honor: "Leonardo da Vinci , Drawings of Horses from the
Royal Library at Windsor Castle. "
Microcomputer use continues to be high on our public
microcomputer. Attached is a graphic overview illustrating usage in
hours, done by Allen Testa on our PFS Graph software.
Page 3 - Librarian's Report - November 12, 1985
The second issue of Library Spectacles is due out shortly. This
is the new public relations brochure printed by the Peninsula Library
System.
The paintings exhibited in the public rooms of the
main library in October were offered by Ginny Neal and Kathleen
Boissiere of the Peninsula Art Association.
A custom bookplate, honoring Jean and Roger Duncan (Duncan Trust
Fund) has been designed by our own Nancy Montague. The bookplate
features seahorses as requested by estate executor, George Paul
Lechich. Both George Paul and Nancy approved of the plate. We will go
to press shortly.
Reference Services
Reference transactions for all public desks (children's , audio
visual , branch and reference ) were up 20% over the same month last
year. This rather dramatic increase may be a trend, as this is the
third month in a row which has shown an increase of over 20% in
reference transactions.
Allen Testa attended a PLS Community Relations Committee meeting
on October lst . They set a date for the "Flyer" workshop featuring our
own Nancy Montague. Approximately 20 are signed up for the November
6th workshop.
Marge Johansen attended a Literacy Committee meeting on October
2nd.
Brenda Buckley Chavez attended a special PLS Reference Committee
meeting at Stanford University's Meyer and Green Libraries. It
included a tour of the libraries and a look at databases and the online
catalog "Socrates. "
Children's, S¢rvi gs
The toddler and pre-school storyhours continued through October.
The October 29th pre-school session was taped at the Cable TV station.
The first and second grades from McKinley School came to the
library for a program and tour. The third grade at Lincoln School is
doing a report on animals. Joan Leach brought the class books on the
various subjects of their reports and gave an overview of the other
materials available at the library.
Joan Leach also attended a poetry workshop with Jan Lieberman,
sponsored by the PLS Children's Committee. Jan is an excellent teacher
and librarian, who offered new techniques for storytelling and poetry
reading.
Page 4 - Librarian's Report - November 12, 1985
As a guest of the Burlingame Writer's Club, Joan heard Mary
Frances Shure speak. She is the author of many children' s and adult
books. Her .latest is Search for Grissi .
Easton Branch
The Apple microcomputer equipment is now at the Branch and
working. Some diskettes were recently taken, but we have been able to
replace them.
Mary Lew Waller has begun the major task of reviewing the card
catalog to correct filing errors .
Toddler story times are continuing with an average of 16 children
attending the two programs each week.
The second edition of the Pre-School newsletter, attached, is
ready and will be sent out the week of November 12th.
Staff Oevelooment
October 25th-27th, Bouchercon XVI , the World Mystery Convention,
W85 held in San Francisco. Joan Leach attended and heard panels and
discussions of mystery books .
Pat Harding attended a half day workshop sponsored by Mead Data
Central . The presentation demonstrated the use of Nexis, an online

Public Library Archivist .
Donna traveled to Chico to attend the California Library
Association Forum, "Comparable Worth, the issue for the 80's. " Marge
attended a workshop on "Managing Your Time Effectively, " sponsored by
the State Library.
It is impressive to note that a number of these staff development
opportunities were taken voluntarily and on the staff member's own
time.
�. Finally, this City Librarian would like to express her heartfelt
thanks and deep gratitude to all the Members 'of the Board, for your
calls, cards, letters, prayers and love during Dick's recent heart
attack in Arizona. Both Dick and I appreciate your support more than
we shall ever be able to describe. He is improving daily. Bless you
all .
