M/S/C (Carlton/Griffith) V. Correspondence and Attachments Correspondence and Attachments were noted highlighting the following subjects. A. Godbe Central Coast Library Survey 2005 - This survey on library usage in the central coast area of California showed that whereas the 2000 survey indicated that the public emphasized speed over accuracy, the public now puts more importance on accuracy. The increase of inaccuracies contained in information from online services probably contributed to this change. B. System Reference - This system provides a second level of reference services for the public. C Trustee Special Fund Quarterly Report- These funds are used for special needs of the Library that are not included in the City budget. Although these funds are invested along with City funds, disbursements cannot be made without the approval of the Library Trustees. It was noted that by California law, the Trustees can hold property and funds. 48o Primrose Road•Burlingame•California 940io-4o83 Phone(650)558-7474•Fax(650)342-6295•www.burlingame.org/library VI.

City Goals Session - The first goals session held on January 28th resulted in the Council selecting 60 of the 260 goals and activities that were submitted by Burlingame citizens to be considered for the next budget year. The next goals session will be held February 25th and will be similar in format to the first session. March 1st will be the first public budget session and the Library budget requests will be discussed. 2. One Book/One Community Staff participating in this partnership project of all libraries in PLS is now in the process of selecting a book written by a living California author for the entire community to read. Jan Eustis is assisting the City Librarian on the task force committee. 3. Adopt a Library Program - The Burlingame Library has adopted the St.Tammany Parish Library which had two branches destroyed by Katrina. Presently, we have a $1,000 donation that will be given to St. Tammany, as soon as we have been appraised by the director of its needs. There is a `. possibility the Library may be able to partner with the Burlingame Rotary Club in this endeavor. 4. Personnel Issues - Two of our workers who were out on worker's compensation have now returned, one to full time and one to half time status. This brings our number of staff hours down to 50 (1.25 FTE). B. Foundation Report The Foundation Board will meet on March 9th. Two Foundation events will be held in April. The book sale dates are April 21 st, 22nd and 23rd. Jim Cannon will be asking-for volunteers to staff the event. Sunday, April 2nd a book club exchange will be held from 2:00-4:00pm in the Lane Room.

Parents, guardians and caregivers are responsible for the supervision of their children of all ages in the library. The library is a public building and open to all. Please use the same precautions for insuring your child's safety that you would in any other public location. Library staff cannot supervise individual children. Preschool children must be in sight of a parent, guardian or responsible caregiver. Children under 10 should not be left alone in the library at any time. Older children and young teens should not be left unattended for extended periods of time. School age children and young teens left unattended in the library must be mature enough to follow the library's behavior policy. Anyone _ who does not adhere to the library's behavior policy will be asked to leave. If the library is closing, at a regular time or in an emergency situation, and a parent or guardian cannot be located in the building, the Burlingame police will be called. The best way to insure your child's safety in a public place is to be there. CNN.com - Bush renews Patriot Act at 11th hour- Mar 9, 2006 Page 1 of 2 PRINTTHIS M.Com Powered by ickabl lty Bush renews Patriot Act at 11th hour President signs act a day before 16 provisions expire WASHINGTON (AP) --After a long battle with Congress that went down to the wire, President Bush signed a renewal of the USA Patriot Act on Thursday, a day before 16 major provisions of the old law expire. Bush said the Patriot Act is vital to win the war on terror and protect Americans. He recalled the terrorist attacks of September 11,2001, and said the country is still at war. "We saw the terrorists'destructive vision for us when they killed nearly 3,000 men,women and children," Bush said. "In the face of this ruthless threat, our nation has made a clear choice--we will confront this mortal danger,we will stay on the offensive and we're not going to wait to be attacked again." Bush's signature came less than 48 hours after the House passed the legislation, ending several months of debate on Capitol Hill over how to balance Americans'right to privacy with a need to foil potential terrorist threats. Political battles over the legislation forced Congress to twice extend the expiration date of the Patriot Act. "The Patriot Act has accomplished exactly what it was designed to do," Bush said during a signing ceremony in the White House East Room. "It has helped us detect terrorist cells,disrupt terrorist plots and save American lives." Republicans want to take the law into the upcoming midterm elections to show they are acting to protect national security. The legislation renews the expiring provisions of the original Patriot Act, including one that lets federal officials obtain "tangible items,"such as business records,from libraries and bookstores, in connection with foreign intelligence and international terrorism investigations. Other provisions clarify that foreign intelligence or counterintelligence officers should share information obtained as part of a criminal investigation with counterparts in domestic law enforcement agencies. Yet another provision is designed to strengthen port security by imposing strict punishments on crew members who impede or mislead law enforcement officers trying to board their ships. To get the legislation renewed, Bush was forced to accept new curbs on the Patriot Act's powers. These new civil liberties protections for the first time say explicitly that people who receive subpoenas granted under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act for library, medical, computer and other records can challenge a gag order in court. The compromise,crafted by Sen.John Sununu, R-New Hampshire, also removes a requirement that a person who receives a National Security Letter provide the FBI with the name of an attorney they have consulted.These letters are subpoenas for financial and electronic records that can be issued without consulting a judge. Thirdly,the Sununu compromise clarifies that libraries in most cases are not subject to these letters.

The highlights of the budget include: • Increase of 3% in employee costs as directed by the Finance Department. • Increase of$ 25,000 in hourly employee costs to open 2 additional public service hours a week per Council direction. • Collection budgets increase by $ 33K total per Council direction. • Increase in Peninsula Library System technology maintenance costs (This appears higher because we,did not pay technology maintenance costs for fiscal 2005-2006 because Dynix was being phased out.) PC Replacement costs for 15% of the network • Implementation of the results of the Usability Study- TBD The budget will now be reviewed by the City Manager and Finance Director and be forwarded to Council in May. The next budget session with Council will be May 31st. Impact of the Budget The impact of the budget on library services will be reflected in our goals for the New Year: • Expand outsourcing of cataloging and processing to save staff costs and move more staff to public service. • Implement the new acquisitions module of Millennium to save staff time and add an "on order" feature in the public catalog • Implement the serials module of Millennium to replace our manual system • Create new library and foundation web pages (The Foundation will assist us with this endeavor.) • Partner with Peninsula Library System libraries on a "One Library/One Book" program to help encourage civic engagement. • Slowly bring back some adult programming. 480 Primrose Road•Burlingame•California 94010-4083 Phone(650)558-7474'Fax(650)342-6295www.burlingame.org/library lk� V Unattended Children's Policy_ Children's and Branch Librarian Sue Reiterman has developed an Unattended Children Policy for your review. Several recent incidents of young children being left in the library, or a truant child who spends the day in the library instead of school, have caused us to revisit this policy. Children's Picture Book Project Sue and her staff are also involved in implementation of a revision of the toddler picture book collection. A grant of$ 10,000 from the Foundation will allow us to update and replace popular picture books in multiple copies for both branches. Personnel issues We continue to be down 50 hours per week of librarian time due to illness and worker's compensation claims. We are hoping one of our librarians can return to full time in April. We are actively recruiting for library shelvers to work in both libraries. Since the circulation activity has increased, we have not upped the number of pages to reshelve materials and we have frequent back ups. We hope to turn this situation around in the next few weeks. Burlingame Library Foundation News The Library Foundation is moving forward on a number of projects: • Creation of a website for the Foundation: www.burlingamelibraryfoundation.org. • Assistance with graphics and input for the revised web presence of the library's website • Renewed efforts to involve the Burlingame Business community as library donors. • Renewed efforts on developing a Planned Giving Program. . • Consideration of publication of 2 newsletters per year in addition to the Foundation's web presence. • Support of library programs and services for this spring. • Book Club Exchange Event, Sunday, April 2, 2 PM, Lane Room. 0 Planning Long Range Planning event, Library Use Statistics I am submitting the library use statistics this month for the months of August 2005-February 2006 for your review. As you know, we have had significant difficulty in obtaining accurate circulation statistics from our new automated system. The method of retrieving statistics has changed 3 times since we were first introduced to the procedures. We are continuing to work on the statistics matrix to find an optimal retrieval method. To be sure, I do not believe that our business has gone down from last year; rather I think it has gone up. If you have been in the library on a Saturday or Sunday recently, you'll know what I mean. As more information becomes available, we will update the statistics.
