CORRESPONDENCE:
Secretary Weatherbe read a letter from Mrs. Margaret Garry
complimenting the staff at the Easton Drive Branch Library.
Chairman Fricke distributed the July edition of the City
Manager's Newletter.
LIBRARIAN'S REPORT:
Mrs. Molder gave an update on Automated Circulation to the new
Trustee and briefly explained the functions and capabilities of the Geac
System. Trustee Kriloff was impressed and asked where he might see one in
operation. Chairman Fricke suggested he visit the Palo Alto Public Library,
although their system is not a Geac System, he could get a good idea as to
how an automated system works once it is in operation.
Chairman Fricke announced that the Summer Reading Club Party will
be held on August 25th, and that Joan Leach, the Children's Librarian, is
expecting approximately 225 children to attend. This is the largest group
of children in recent years who have completed and fulfilled their contracts
both at the Main and Easton Drive libraries combined. Trustee Nagle extended
his congratulations to Mrs. Leach for an outstanding job.
Mrs. Molder explained that a sign consultant had visited the Library
at the request of Mrs. Bergsing and Mr. Escoffier to do a study on a possible
sign system within the Library. Trustee Nagle clarified that no committment
had been made to purchase a sign system and expressed his interest in seeing
same before signs were ordered. Mrs. Molder said the consultant visited the
Library at no charge and that the Library was under no obligation to purchase
anything. She said Mrs. Bergsing would report further at the next meeting.
Secretary Weatherbe reported a 10% increase in circulation at the
Branch over last July and a 7% increase last month from June of 1981. Trustee
Nagle noted an increase of 38% in Reference statistics which generated a feeling
that the increase is due to the relocation of the Reference public service desk.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
Recommendation To Council For P.L.S. Advisory Board Representative -
Tabled From The June Meeting: Chairman Fricke felt it best to table this matter
until the September meeting when Mrs. Bergsing is present.
Election of Officers for 1982-1983: Trustee Weatherbe nominated
Trustee Parsons for Chairman. Trustee Parsons declined the position. Trustee
Nagle nominated Trustee Weatherbe for Chairman. Trustee Weatherbe also declined.
Trustee Nagle then nominated Trustee Fricke, who accepted the nomination. The
motion was seconded by Trustee Weatherbe and carried unanimously. Trustee Nagle
nominated Trustee Parsons for the office of Secretary, she accepted and the motion
was seconded by Trustee Weatherbe and carried unanimously.
Trustee Nagle then made mention that the role for Chairman is indeed
"President" according to the By-Laws, so therefore the office of Chairman shall be
�' changed to President of the Board.

NEW BUSINESS :
Revision of the Meeting Room Application: The new
form was not available for approval and therefore the

Association of Library Trustees and Commissioners (CALTAC) .

17th , 1982 , at 9 : OOam to discuss library children's services
in the 1980' s if anyone wished to attend .

LIBRARIAN'S REPORT
SEPTEMBER 21st, 1982
On behalf of the staff, I would like to take this opportunity to
officially welcome Mr. Leo Kriloff as the newest member of the Burlingame
Library Board of Trustees. I apologize that I was called out of town
unexpectedly last month, so I wasn't here for the August Board meeting to join
the other Board members in welcoming Trustee Kriloff to his first meeting. We
are all looking forward to working with you, Leo.
AUTOMATED CIRCULATION
The CPU for the shared Automated Circulation System is expected in
late September at the San Mateo County Library Headquarters. Soon after the
installation, training will begin for key personnel in the 8 library jurisdictions
sharing the System. For the past three months the library system has been
filling out forms to reflect policies and procedures so that Geac, the automated
system vendor, could translate them into machine readable form. An indepth plan
for converting borrower and book information into machine readable form is also
being developed. "Conversion" is the laborious part of the job to implement an
automated circulation system and this should begin for most of the participating
libraries by January, 1983. All the work done so far has progressed rapidly and
`- smoothly through cooperative planning.
A contest was held in July for participating staff members to name the
agency which is operating the Circulation System and to design a logo. Congratulations
and compliments go to Al Escoffier and Nancy Montague of the Burlingame Public Library
for designing the winning logo. The winning name for the agency, "Peninsula
Automated Consortium of Libraries (PACL) ", was submitted by Elizabeth Daugert of
San Mateo Public Library.
MEETING ROOM APPLICATION
We are hoping to have the revised application form ready for your approval
at your September meeting. Primarily, we are trying to make the form clearer and
more concise, and to raise the rates for use of the room by non-profit groups.
STUDENT BEHAVIOR POLICY
A committee of the Reference Department staff has developed a statement
describing what is acceptable student behavior in the Library. This is the result
of a great deal of trouble with rowdy and noisy students during the last school year.
We are hoping that you will adopt the policy and that we can circulate it to the
schools as soon as possible. It is our hope that if we establish criteria for
acceptable library behavior early in the year, we can avoid a repetition of the
disruptive behavior that occurred last year.
LIBRARIAN'S REPORT
September 21st, 1982
DUNCAN PROPERTY
The patio furniture has arrived, and we will give you a brief tour at
the meeting. Also, you may wish to dicuss possible future plans for the garden
and patio area. I think we may want to solicit and consider several different
ideas and arrangements.
I am enclosing a copy of the letter from Mr. Somerville, Executive
Director of the Peninsula Foundation, outling procedures regarding use of the
Duncan Trust Fund. Basically, it summarizes what we have discussed earlier.
FARRELL FUND
We have received a check for $510.00 from the Julia Farrell Memorial
Fund. This is the check we receive each year from the Peninsula Foundation
representing interest on the money left in trust by Julia Farrell for the Library.
I am enclosing the letters to and from the Foundation and the list of books we
purchased with the funds.
NORBERG LIBRARY SKETCHES
In time for your meeting, we hope to have firm estimates for framing
about 12 of the Library sketches that architect Col. Norberg did before the Main
Library was built. Mr. Escoffier and I picked out the best and most representative
of the drawings, and Al is in the process of getting prices. It appears preliminarily
that they could cost $600.00 to $700.00 but I think it is an investment that we
should make for historical preservation.
CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT
Approximately 150 children attended the Summer Reading Club Party on
August 25th. 178 children completed the entire program, with well over 200
children participating for at least part of the summer. This was the most
successful program we have had in the past several years. It is particularly
gratifying since the 1980 Population Statistics have been released and Burlingame
has the lowest percentage of children between the ages of 0-9 years of any town in
San Mateo County. (see attached chart) .
REFERENCE DEPARTMENT
Reference Desk transactions were up 24% over August 1981. Interlibrary
Loans were up 16%. Activity included materials from the Library of Congress, Ohio
Wesleyan University and Skokie Public Library in Illinois. We often borrow books
from Stanford University, but this month we had the pleasure of lending them our
copy of Michael Rogers' best seller Silicon Valley!
Data Pro services are being offered in the Reference Room on a trial
basis. The evaluative service contains sections of Microcomputer Software, Word

COLLECTION MAINTENANCE
Weeding the collection continues with Al Escoffier weeding the 200 's and
continuing on into the 300-319's. Barbara Rowe is weeding the oversized collection
on the mezzanine and will continue on into the 650-699 's. Warren Wickliffe has
targeted October 1 to finish the 800-812's, and Joan Leach expects to have finished
her massive fiction weeding project by January 1. This means that by January 1, 1983,
the Librarians will have weeded the fiction collection, 000-812 's, the oversized
collection, and the Reference Collection in the past two years. Although a major
review and weeding of the 813-999's, the California Collection, and Biographies was
done in 1977, these areas will be reviewed and weeded again in 1983 as part of our
phase II weeding project. The Librarians have been thoughtful in their weeding,
using established guidelines. Weeding is essential as a pre-conversion step
and because we are literally out of shelf space. Weeding at the Branch Library is
being done on a continuous basis for the same reasons stated above. The Librarians '
involved in this project are doing an excellent job. It is not a simple or an easy
one.
NEW STAFF
Dan Sullivan was hired in August to shelve oversized books at the Main
Library and to do the daily delivery of materials between the Main Library and the
Branch Library. Dan is also assisting as a page at the Branch Library 2 days per
week. Dan is our first page hired from the "over 55" group who took the page test
in May. We're pleased to have Dan on our staff. Other adult page applicants have
been contacted for interviews but have withdrawn from consideration for a variety
of reasons. We are still experimenting with this age group as a source to fill
page positions and we will continue to assess it over the next few months.
PROGRAMS / EXHIBITS
In cooperation with the San Mateo Historical Society's County History
Month, Burlingame Public Library presented two films on early Burlingame history on
August 19th.
Exhibits for the month included: Read-A-Movie; August is for Gardeners;
Perspectives on Pets; China; and Famous Leos.

MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Library Board of Trustees
FROM: Reference Department
DATE: September 15, 1982
RE: Standards for student behavior in the library
During the past school year, large numbers of students repeatedly
came to the library to socialize. The result was excessive noise
and disruption to other patrons, and constant interruption in
reference service for librarians who attempted to provide some
discipline.
Since the library is for everyone, we would like to adopt and enforce
standards of behavior for students using the library. Our goal is
to maintain a reasonable noise level and atmosphere of order so that
all patrons and librarians can work effectively. Not only will this
allow us to provide better service, but we also believe we can teach
respect for the library and for our profession by always being
willing to assist patrons and by always being free to provide legiti-
mate reference service.
We would like to post and to enforce the following policy:
Students are welcome in the library for quiet
study and recreational use. Reference librarians
are always available for assistance. Socializing,
loud talking, and other disruptions are not
acceptable in the library and offenders will be
asked to leave.
We feel it is important to get the message across as soon as the school
year begins, that if students go to the library to work, they must
behave. In order to publicize our policy we wish to do the following:
I . City Librarian will contact high school principals to
inform them of our standards for student behavior and
ask for their assistance in making them known. (letter attached)
2. City Librarian will cobtact police department and inform them
of our efforts to establish a strict standard of conduct
beginning this year. We may need to call the police for
L
5
help in demanding that disruptive students leave.
We would expect that the need for this would subside
as we make it :clear that students must behave as
responsibly as other adult users.
3. Post our policy as a kind of "house rules" for
students using the library.
4. Post small signs in centers of tables which say
"Quiet study only" to announce our expectations.
We hope these initial measures will set a new tone and help us avoid
a repeat of the difficulties we (and our patrons) experienced last
year. If we can insist on an atmosphere of order and reasonable
quiet, we feel we will better serve all people, including students.

September 15, 1982
Dear Principal :
Burlingame Public Library is especially busy during the school
year, and students are encouraged to use the resources of the library
and the services of its staff to help with their studies.
During the past academic year, however, many students
repeatedly came to the library to socialize, disrupting the work
and quiet activity of other patrons and librarians. To insure that
the library is a place that all people can use, we have set the
following standards for student behavior:
Students are welcome in the library for quiet
study and recreational use. Reference librarians
are always available for assistance. Socializing,
loud talking, and other disruptions are not
acceptable in the library and offenders will be
asked to leave.
By enforcing this policy we hope to provide better service to
patrons of all ages. We would appreciate any assistance you might
provide in making this known to your students and their parents.
Sincerely,
Patricia M. Bergsing

Gentlemen:
We are pleased to establish what will become a continuing
relationship between the Peninsula Community Foundation and the
Trustees of the Library as a result of the Duncan Estate which
is now part of the Foundation.
This letter is to follow up a meeting of Ms. Patty Bergsing,
Mr. Jerry Coleman, Mr. Albert Horn, and myself. In light of the
significance of our relationship and the funds that will be in-
volved over the years , it seems prudent for there to be as close
an understanding as possible between the two entities regarding
the expenditure of these funds. To help in creating that under-
standing, and in writing this letter, we have sought the advice
of the estate executor, Mr. Paul Lechich.
The estate Will stipulated that the funds given to the Library
are to be spent in addition to the normal funding by the City
of Burlingame. In other words, funds from the Foundation are
not to replace public monies coming to the Library. Money from
the Duncan Fund will be used according to instruction, that
is to enhance and enrich the Library' s collection and services in
a manner otherwise impossible.
It is reasonable to assume that both the Library Trustees and
the Foundation want the funds given to the. Library by the Foundation
to be spent on significant, worthy, and needed items. In this
way the Duncan Fund will enhance and enrich cultural life of
Burlingame as a whole and citizens as individuals. This letter
is to confirm procedures to give assurance of this .
We ask that recommendations from the Trustees for expenditure of
foundation funds designated for the Library be given to the

Foundation at least three months before such funds are needed
and/or before the Distribution Committee meeting that will
consider the recommendation; that your recommendation give
details c= how the funds would be spent; and that you share with
the Foundation your rationale for arriving at this recommendation.
Some areas of consideration for funding which Mr. Lechich
suggested include a contingency fund for items either of an
emergency nature or for which no other support exists ; a fund
for resources the Library wouldn' t ordinarily be able to
purchase such as exceptional books, books on antiques (the wish
of the Duncans) , and new services.
We look forward to working with you.

Re: Increase in Hillsborough, Burlingame, San Mateo
Library Agreement
Dear Bob:
We 've finally completed negotiations with our general employees
and can now finalize our 1982-83 library budget for purposes of
adjusting our agreement:
Burlingame - $917, 325 less $158,059 for fringe benefits
not in base year for a net total of $759,266.
San Mateo - $1, 283, 034
The combined total of $2 ,042, 300 is a 38. 23% increase from the
1977/78 base amount of $1, 477,419. In accordance with our
agreement for library services the 1980-81 consideration
($90, 000) is adjusted to $124,407 for 1982-83. This is a 13. 35%
increase from your $109, 755 amount in 1981-82. Burlingame is
agreeable to the current 2/3 , 1/3 division of funds with San
Mateo. The monthly amounts would, therefore, be:
Burlingame - $6,911 monthly
San Mateo - 3,456 monthly
Since our agreement is effective July lst, we request a retro-
active adjustment for July 1 to September 30th. This would be
an additional $2, 442 for Burlingame and $1, 221 for San Mateo.
Please let me know if you have any questions. We also should
get together in early 1983 to discuss next year ' s agreement.
Cordially,
N.-
