`- A. City Librarian's Report - Al Escoffier, City Librarian,
reviewed his report highlighting the following issues.
1. Easton Branch Project Status -At the June 17, 2002

staff report, prepared by the City Librarian, on the Easton
Branch renovation. The scope of the project will be defined.
Added features, not included in the original budget, will be
noted. i.e., ceilings, Secret Garden, terrace on Cabrillo and
fireplace. The architect, Hal Brandes, has been requested to
obtain costs for the newly added features.
2. Baker and Taylor - The Library has been awarded
$40,000 as a result of a successful class action suit against
Baker and Taylor for overcharging customers on their
product. These funds will be allocated towards the Easton
Branch renovation.
3. Easton Public Input Session - On June 8, 2002,
10:00am until noon, the architect, Hal Brandes, will present
the final conceptual design known as Plan D. Plan D is

majority of the public preferred, as indicated by the tally of
the worksheets filled out by the attendees at the first public
meeting held on March Stn.
B. Volunteer Recognition Tea - The Volunteer Tea held on
April 171h was well attended by volunteers, staff, city employees
and council members.

VIII. Unfinished Business
A. Patriot Act Status - The Trustees discussed the Library's

The City Librarian emphasized that, although the Library complies
with court orders from law enforcement agencies, inquiries to
`— review Library patrons' files must be referred to him or his
designate and the City Attorney before access to anyone's file shall
be permitted. Presently, Burlingame Library is the only Library in
the County to form a policy on this issue. The Library staff is now
waiting for PLS to develop its policy on the Patriot Act.

Subject: CONFERENCE COMMITTEE BEGINS BUDGET REVIEW
June 5, 2002
TO: CLA MEMBERS/SYSTEMS/NETWORK CONTACTS
FROM: Mike Dillon, Lobbyist, Christina Dillon, Lobbyist
RE: CONFERENCE COMMITTEE BEGINS BUDGET REVIEW
Yesterday, the Budget Conference Committee, comprised of Democratic Senators Steve Peace and Wes
Chesbro, and Republican Senator Dick Ackerman, and Democratic Assembly Members Jenny Oropeza
and Darrell Steinberg, and Republican Assembly Member John Campbell, began its deliberations on the
Budget. Chairman Peace opened the hearing by stating, "Obviously we face a difficult task. Both
Budgets come in to this Conference Committee in need of additional trimming or additional resources."
He later added, "This is an open Conference Committee. Those of you who feel your item is secure
because both sides (Assembly and Senate) agree....bad news. Nothing is secure." Assembly Member
Oropeza, Co-Chair of the Committee added, "The notion that every issue is on the table...given the
dynamics of the problem is appropriate...the outcome will be unhappy to virtually everybody."
Senator Peace then asked for direction from the Committee with respect to how to proceed with their
deliberations. Specifically, he asked if, (1) the Committee should proceed on the basis that the Budget is
$3.5 billion short (you will recall from our last memo that in order to pass the Budget with a two-thirds
vote, the Senate deleted all reference to the Governor's proposed tax increases from the Budget bill), or
(2) the Committee should proceed under the assumption that the $3.5 billion, proposed by the Governor
in the May Revision (vehicle license fee increase, cigarette tax increase, etc.), is to be restored.
Senator Chesbro offered, "No one in this House, more than me, understands the significant impact the
Budget will have on poor people in this State—but putting the tax increases up front will be the wrong
step, even if we have to eventually get to where the Governor is. We owe it to the taxpayers of the
State, and to each of the caucuses, to discuss what the alternatives are before looking at tax increases."
As other members of the Committee agreed that it was preferable to go through the entire process before
discussing the need for the tax increases proposed by the Governor, Assemblyman Campbell offered, "It
is completely inappropriate to talk about funding tax increases when the Assembly version is bloated
$400 million over last year's Budget."
�. The Budget Conference Committee will resume its deliberations again today and is expected to work all
week, over the weekend, and into next week, with the optimistic goal of getting a budget to the
Governor by the June 15th constitutional deadline. CLA members are again urged to immediately write
6/5/02
Page 2 of 2
to members of the Budget Conference Committee and request their adoption of the Senate version of the
Budget to restore $17.6 million to the Public Library Foundation (Budget Item: 6120-221-0001.) In our
last memo to you, we indicated that 5 of the 6 conferees had been officially announced and that it was
`— rumored that Darrell Steinberg would be the 6th conferee. We know that many of you have sent your
letters off to the 5 conferees, and we thank you. Please take a moment today to send Assemblyman
Steinberg a letter a well, urging his support of the PLF.

Statement on the Patriot Act
June 11, 2002
The USA Patriot Act (the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate
Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001). The Patriot Act
amended over 15 federal statutes, including the laws governing criminal procedure,
computer fraud and abuse, foreign intelligence, wiretapping, and immigration. These
amendments expanded the authority of the FBI and the law enforcement to gain access to
stored Internet and electronic communications. Libraries that provide access to the
Internet and e-mail service to patrons may be subject to a court order requiring the library
to allow the monitoring of electronic communications sent through library's computers or
network. Burlingame Public Library complies with court orders from law enforcement
agencies.
Inquiries regarding review of library files by a law enforcement officer or anyone else
should be referred to the City Librarian or his designate and/or to the City Attorney for
review before any access is allowed.

RE: NEWS FROM THE CAPITOL
PUTTING THE GOVERNOR'S CUTS IN PERSPECTIVE
Yesterday we reported to you that the Governor is proposing to make a sizeable reduction in the
Public Library Foundation program of almost $23 million. We have put together a chart which
we have been using this morning at the Capitol, in expressing our opposition to the Governor's cut
to the members of the Budget Subcommittees on Education Finance and their staff. We believe
that this chart may also be helpful to you in your conversations with local officials and your
legislators.
In view of the huge $23.6 billion budget gap, getting funds restored to the PLF will be difficult.
However, we think CLA can certainly make the case that a 43 percent cut to the program is
disproportionate and could mean radical mid-year cuts in library services throughout the state.
The Senate Budget Subcommittee will review the May Revision this afternoon, and will discuss the
State Library's budget. In addition, the Subcommittee is also scheduled to meet on Saturday.
The Assembly Subcommittee will meet next week.

BURLINGAME PUBLIC LIBRARY
l EA5TON BRAN01 LIBRARY
PLAN or 5ERVICE
2002-2005
OVERVIEW
The Easton Branch Library is currently slated for a complete interior
remodel and accessibility upgrade. This renovation will include a closure
of the facility for approximately six months, with a tentative opening date
of Fall 2003.
In conjunction with the upgrade, the focus of the Easton Branch will be
fine-tuned to attract new users and enrich the reading experience for
existing users. City Council has expressed interest in expanding the
hours of the Branch to include some evening and morning hours to allow
for more use following renovation.
ROLE OF THE BRANCH IN BURLINGAME
The role of the Easton Branch can be defined as a neighborhood branch
library featuring highly popular adult and children's materials. All
materials at the Easton Branch are also available at the main library.
The goal is io provide an attractive, well-circulating collection for those
who enjoy a smaller library experience.
The Easton Branch also provides a venue of children's story hours and
other children's programs, as well as a potential venue for adult and teen
programs. Adult book clubs, which have proven increasingly popular,
could easily be held in the "living room" area of the new Branch.
Recent developments in technology will allow the Easton Library users to
have with full access to the online catalog for the Peninsula Library
System, as well as access to the Internet. Access to online magazine
indexes and full text magazines, will make Easton a fully functional
information center for library patrons.

PRIORITIE5 OF SERVICE
Easton service priorities will include:
• Focus on service to children up to middle school
• Focus on serving adult popular reading: including fiction,
biography, and popular non-fiction
• Focus on presenting programs of interest to the community from
the Easton facility
GOALS Of THE EA5TON FACILITY RENOVATION
The goals of the renovation of the Easton Library include:
• New fireplace seating area
• More media: DVD, Books on Tape, etc.
• Increased children's collection
• Increased variety of seating
• Additional public computer terminals with high speed Internet
access
• Separate children's area, with children's books together in one
location
• New larger "Lions Den" for young children with parent-children
reading areas
�- A "Secret Garden" off the Lion's Den
• An outdoor reading terrace
• Larger children's program area
• Full handicapped access
• More popular adult books and displays
OPENING DAY 5ERVICE5
It is anticipated that library hours will be expanded to include some early
evening, and perhaps some morning hours. This will necessitate some
additional staffing. While it is unlikely for the Branch to return to a 45
hour per week schedule, staff will tailor the expanded hours to the needs
of the neighborhood.
LIBRARY COLLECTION5-ADULT
The Easton Library collections will consist of highly popular adult
materials with a strong emphasis on popular fiction and mysteries. The
collection will include non-fiction in areas of proven popularity: home
decorating, cookbooks, biography, etc.
The collection will consist of materials in hardcover, paperback and
media formats.
Media will become an important aspect of the Easton collections.
LIBRARY COLLECTIONS- CHILDREN
The Easton children's collections will include a strong collection of _
picture storybooks for those just 1"earning to appreciate books and
reading. An emphasis will also be placed on the beginning reader.
Children's fiction appropriate for elementary and middle school will also
enhance the collection.
Non-fiction areas for children will emphasize those areas most called for
in the curriculum of local schools such as: Native Americans, California
missions, science fair materials, country study books, biography, etc.
Media will be available for children to enrich the reading and listening
experience.
COLLECTION MAINTENANCE
The Easton Branch collection will remain current and topical, perhaps
even including rotating collections from the main library. This will
necessitate efforts and continual weeding of the collection.
Displays of new and talked about materials will be an important
component of marketing the library collections.
