B. Easter Survey - The City Librarian reviewed the results of
the Easter Day Work Survey which was given to the staff at the
request of the Library Board. The purpose of the survey was to
ascertain the willingness of staff to work if the Library remained
open on Easter Sunday.
VI. From the Floor (Public Comments) Russ Cohen of the Burlingame
Historical Society read his letter expressing the immediate need for
volunteer archivists to help organize the many donations the
Historical Society receives. He thought that perhaps some of the
library staff might be interested in volunteering. Trustee Dunbar
suggested contacting retired library personnel.
VII. Reports
A. City Librarian's Report - Al Escoffier
The City Librarian reviewed his report highlighting the following
issues.
1. Easton Branch - The project committee toured
libraries in Mill Valley, Tiburon, Oceanview (San Francisco),
Albany, Rockridge, and East Palo Alto with Hal Brandes,
architect for the Easton Branch renovation. Hal Brandes
designed the Albany Branch and the Rockridge Branch.
2. Summer Reading - "Catch a Dragon by the Tail" is
the theme for school age readers. Children who read and
report on 6 books will receive a free paper back. The Read to
me theme is "Once Upon a Story Time" and encourages
parents to read to their children. "Read (w+w+w) - Forever"
(Read wherever, whenever, whatever) requires teens to read 6
books. Gift certificates of$15.00 provided by the Library
Foundation will be given to those teens that complete the
program.
B. Foundation Report - Jane Dunbar
A major donor party will be given in October. Plans for this
event are in progress.
C. SAB - Mary Lou Morton - No Report
Library Board of Trustee Minutes 2
June 19, 2001
VIII. Unfinished Business
A. Easter Closure
1. President Coar reported that the city libraries she
contacted in other states were closed on all Sundays. One
library in Queens Borough, New York is open on Sundays
but closed for Easter Sunday.
2. Trustee Gurthet researched a case where the court
ruled in favor of the library for closing on Martin Luther King
Day. The case was sent back to the lower court after an
appeal and no further decision has been made. Trustee
Gurthet volunteered to gather more information regarding
this matter.
3. The Trustees suggested that Mary Lou Morton, the
Library Board's representative to Systems Advisory Board,
discuss the Easter Closure matter with SAB members.
4. The Trustees requested that the City Librarian explore
whether the on-line catalogue would be available to service
the Burlingame Library, if it is the only facility in the county
to stay open on Easter Sunday. Trustee Gurthet stated that
as a reference librarian, inability to access the on-line
catalogue would be sufficient reason to close. Research for
patrons would definitely be hampered.
S. Trustee Herman will research whether libraries in Los
Angeles remain open on Easter Sunday.
6. Trustee Dunbar suggested checking the school
calendar for dates of spring vacation and then consider
closing the Burlingame Library on a Sunday in recognition of
"Spring Break."
7. Larry Anderson, City Attorney, suggested the following
issues the Trustees may wish to consider in reaching a
decision on whether or not to close on Easter Sunday.
a. Decision is more than legal; economic impact is
significant as well.
b. Easter is not a secular holiday but primarily a
religious one.
C. Policy should not have the connotation of
making a person feel offended or harmed.
d. Is there a demand for the library to be open?
8. The Trustees agreed that more information pertaining
to this issue is needed before a procedural plan can be
formulated.

TO: CLA MEMBERS/ SYSTEMS/NETWORK CONTACTS
FROM: Mike Dillon, Lobbyist
Christina Dillon, Lobbyist
RE: NEWS FROM THE CAPITOL
I. BUDGET BILL STALEMATE: VOTES AREN'T THERE IN EITHER HOUSE
Tuesday evening the Senate took up the 2001 Budget Bill on the Floor for deliberation and were short
the one Republican vote needed for passage. All 14 Republicans voted "no." The bottom line for their
caucus is not allowing the `/4 cent sales tax to kick in again in January as it is scheduled to do so because
of lower than expected state revenues. Republicans are calling it a "tax increase." Conversely,
Democrats are concerned that if the tax cut is enacted, an additional $600 million in Budget cuts would
have to be made this year.
On Wednesday, the Assembly failed to pass the Budget as well, coming up four votes short of the
desired 2/3rds vote necessary for passage. As the debate on the Budget bill waged on for more than
three and a half hours, Republican Leader, Dave Cox said, "We simply seek a Budget that is balanced
without a tax increase." Assembly Speaker Robert Hertzberg called the work product "thoughtful and
intelligent, based on the current [fiscal] situation." When the Budget failed on a vote of 50-28, Budget
Conference Committee Chair, Assemblyman Tony Cardenas noticed "reconsideration," which allows
the bill to be voted upon again when there is movement between Assembly and Senate leadership and
the Governor's Office. The beginning of the fiscal year for the state begins July 1, and it appears a
Budget will not be adopted on time, although both Houses remain "on call" should an agreement be
reached.
II. THE STATUS OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY FOUNDATION
You will recall from our previous correspondence that this year's Budget contained only a modest cost
of living adjustment (COLA) to the Public Library Foundation, after the budget subcommittees were
forced to scale back their recommendations for full funding of the PLF, due to the state's fiscal crisis.
Senator Jack O'Connell managed to hold out for a $1 million augmentation for the COLA during the
early rounds of the Budget Conference Committee deliberations. Joined by Assemblywoman Carole
Migden and Senator Steve Peace, Senator O'Connell fought an attempt to remove the $1 million COLA,
but they were unfortunately not as successful on the second round of cuts. Conferee Senator Dick
Ackerman voted to keep the $1 million in tact, but it was clear that the Administration was
recommending no new increases in programs that were not identified in the Governor's May Revision.
�. (The Governor chose to remove the COLA for the PLF in his May version of the Budget re-write.) The
PLF currently stands at approximately $57 million.

III. LATE OPPOSITION ON ERAF BILLS FORCES UNEXPECTED HEARING
Last week we had received word that SB 74 by Senator Jackie Speier(D-Hillsborough) and SB 94 by
Senator Tom Torlakson (D-Antioch) had been placed on the Assembly Local Government Committee's
"consent calendar." The "consent calendar" is a method used by committees when there is strong
support for a measure, no opposition, and the bill is considered to be "non-controversial." Both bills
would provide needed property tax relief for libraries, and had received wide-spread, bi-partisan
support. When a bill is placed on "consent,"the committee takes a vote on the item without testimony,
as the committee has already indicated they would support the measure unanimously. Thus, we told the
library community that there would be no need for them to appear at the hearing, and would appreciate
their strong support instead in the Assembly Appropriations Committee, where the bill was headed
next.
We were surprised to receive a phone call from one of Senator Torlakson's top staff consultants
yesterday indicating that the "ERAF bills had been pulled from consent," and she alerted us that we
would need to be present for a hearing after all. We were informed that late opposition was received
from the City of Barstow, opposing not only Senator Torlakson's SB 94 (allows a county or a city and
county to direct the county auditor to allocate up to 3% of its "contribution" to ERAF to a county
general fund library), but also SB 92-Torlakson pertaining to ERAF relief for fire protection or fire
suppression districts, and SB 93-Figueroa/Torlakson pertaining to ERAF relief for recreation and park
districts. The city objected to the "piecemeal" approach that was being taken, relative to ERAF and
preferred to see a general solution. Senator Torlakson indicated in his testimony before committee that
he had phoned the Mayor of Barstow and explained that he would likewise appreciate a wholesale
approach to solving ERAF, and noted that he has voted for every conceivable approach to find
assistance for local governments since he has been in office. He added that since those efforts had been
unsuccessful, the legislature would have to pursue different ways to achieve the same goal. CLA
`- testified, and noted that approximately 25 library directors and local officials were prepared to testify in
support of the measure until we learned that the library bills were on consent. Noted CLA, "They will
be disappointed that they didn't have the opportunity today to testify." The special districts association,
employees union, and lobbyist for Contra Costa County also testified in support. The Committee did
not address the concerns of the City of Barstow and the bill passed from committee on a vote of 8-0. In
an interesting twist, SB 74-Speier remained on "consent."
The two measures, SB 74 and SB 94 will now head to the Assembly Appropriations Committee in the
next few weeks for hearing. Please take a moment today and write the members of the Appropriations
Committee to urge their strong support. This will be our most difficult challenge to date in the
legislative process, as no ERAF bills were let out of this important fiscal committee earlier in the year
due to the state's fiscal crisis. The delayed implementation date contained in each bill (2003-04), may
help our case.

SPECIAL NOTE: In recent weeks, the library community has increased its effort with regard to
contacting the Governor's Office, to encourage strong support of these measures. While we have had
positive meetings with the Governor's local government policy specialists, two key policy leaders in the
Governor's Office will be pivotal in terms of support: Susan Kennedy and Lynn Schenk. Susan
Kennedy is the Governor's Cabinet Secretary and Lynn Schenk is the Governor's Chief Aide and Senior
Counsel. If you have aerU sonal relationship with either of these two officers, would you please contact
them directly and encourage their support for the relief for public libraries contained in SB 74 and SB
94.

Library Board
Issues and Challenges
2001
Board Defined: The Board is a legal entity in the California Education
Code. The City Council appoints Board members. The Board is defined as
an advisory board to advise the City Librarian on policy. The Board
maintains the "Special Fund" consisting of profits from Board enterprises
(mainly copy machines) and donations to the Library. The Board's main
function is advocacy for the Library, representation of the community to the
Library and a communications vehicle about the Library in the community.
Past Issues:
• Patron Behavior- The board has the legal power to bar persons whose
continued inappropriate behavior necessitates action. Such action is
only taken with due process.
• Internet Filtering- The board has the responsibility to set policy
regarding issues such as filtering the Internet, intellectual freedom,
etc.
Current Issues:
• Easter Sunday Closure- The Board sets the holidays for the library
within the parameters of the library budget. The budget is prepared by
the Librarian and submitted for approval to the Council.
• Renovation of the Easton Branch Library
• Merger of the Friends/Foundation
On-Going Projects:
• Annual Staff Recognition Dinner, co-sponsored with the Library
Foundation
• Annual Employee Achievement Awards (up to 3) given at the end of

Dear Shirley:
RE: Requests for Friends of the Library Support
On behalf of the Board and the entire community, I would like to thank you
for your tireless efforts to raise money for services at the Burlingame Public
Library. Last year's donation of over $ 16,000 has supported our "Begin
with Books" program for the very young. It has also supported Poetry Month
that encourages young people to read, write and enjoy poetry. The Friends
have also sponsored our Holiday Programs in conjunction with the
Foundation.
The Friends contributed funding for the calendars, which are distributed to
each school child throughout the city on a monthly basis advertising the
library's many children's programs. Other funds were used to purchase
additional videocassettes and compact disks for the Library's media
collection.
This year, we are requesting approximately the same amount of funding for
Library outreach and collections. We look forward to continuing to work
with the Friends to help provide the best library services and collections in
the State.
Sincerely,
Mary Herman
President,

City Librarian's Report
July 24, 2001
Easton Branch Renovation Project
Work continues on the Easton Branch renovation project. I anticipate the
architect's report for your August Board meeting. I have asked the architects
to make a presentation to you at that time.
Children's Summer Programs
"Catch a Dragon by the Tale" summer reading club continues. The club is
designed for school age readers. Children read and report on 6 books during
�... the summer. Those who complete the program will receive a free paperback.
"Once Upon a Story Time" is the Read-to-me theme. This activity is for the
pre-reader and encourages parents to read to their young children.
The award-winning Teen 2001 Reading club "Read (w+w+w) = Forever"
(Read wherever, whenever, whatever) has nearly 150 teen readers this year.
This is our biggest sign up yet. Those who complete the club will receive a
$15.00 gift certificate from Books, Inc.
The Summer Enrichment Program, sponsored by the Foundation, offers
multiple copies of all of the titles on the summer reading lists of the
intermediate and high schools in Burlingame and Hillsborough. This is the
first focused program of its type that we have tried and it's very,successful.
Our goal is to keep those teens reading!!
Programs and Exhibits
The Friday evening book club met on June 81h, led by volunteer Pam Gehrke,

Several staff members, including Linda Santo, Pat Harding, Sue Reiterman,
Roz Mincher, Karen Kott, and Georgia Rothrock represented the library at
Art in the Park on June 9 and 10th. Festival attendees came by to purchase
Friends of the Library used paperback books; giveaways included magnets
with library phone numbers, "I love my Library" bags, children's calendars
and bookmarks. Linda Santo worked tirelessly to pull this successful event
together.
Volunteer Program
Twenty-Two volunteers contributed 108 hours to the library in June.
Their activities included: sorting and pricing book donations; maintaining
the on-going book sale; caring for indoor plants and the outdoor terraces;
processing new paperbacks, discards and gift magazines; cleaning computer
work stations, etc. The terrace was open 10 hours this month and two
patrons received one-on-one Internet training.
Reference Services
Sue Reiterman and Mary Beth James-Thibodeaux both attended InfoPeople
workshops on June 11th. "Law on the Net" which Sue attended focused on
the variety of resources available for legal research on the Internet including
both California and federal sources for statutes, pending legislation, case
law, and regulations as well as municipal codes. Mary Beth attended the
PowerSearch workshop, which focused on the advanced search features of
the best of the major search engines.
Thanks to funding by the Board of Trustees, several members of the
Reference staff attended the annual ALA Conference held in San Francisco,
June 14th through June 20th. Highlights included a Net Library workshop that
Pat Harding attended.
Easton Branch Services
Lisa Dunseth has been busy with summer reading club promotion and
planning. Skits were done at local schools to encourage children to join. The
"Sword in the Stone" has been a big hit! Preschool story hours resumed the
week of the 25th along with the summer bedtime story time on Wednesdays.
Lisa finished up work on the summer reading lists and sent them to the
schools. She also read stories to the 2nd grade class at Washington School,
the 5th grade class from OLA, and the 2nd grade class from Lincoln School.
