Respectfully submitted, Alfred H. Escoffier City Librarian Trustee Minutes August �� 8/17/95 IFUBUIRLINGIAME City Librarian's Report September 19, 1995 "Temporary Quarters Update" The staff and public are settling-in at the Temporary facility. The public has been very positive about the building. Library users are finding their way through the stacks with few problems. The new computer terminals which replace the card catalog have been a challenge for some, but most patrons are enjoying them and are finding what they need. Noise is an ongoing challenge in the building, with low ceilings and strange acoustics which allow for noise to carry down some aisles and not down others. We have had a few public concerns about parking, but overall patrons seem to be finding places to park. We will get a truer picture as the pace of fall business picks up. Our temporary facility is something of a novelty in the library world. We have had inquires and visits to our facility by construction managers and facilities managers to determine if this type of modular layout will serve other needs of other libraries under construction. The City of Mountain View is considering the modular option for their temporary facility. "Something New is Building..." The "Back Check" construction drawings for the Primrose Reconstruction were received. The drawings reflect a number of requested changes. We met with the lighting consultant and have reached an agreement on the quality and type of book stack lighting. We have also met with shelving vendors and consultants to determine the'type and style of shelving which should be specified in the bid documents. Interior colors, textures and furnishings are undergoing final review . We are focusing on a timeless, light interior with elements of the old library throughout. We will be refinishing our existing library furniture. New straight back chairs will be fabricated to match the old and new pieces will be intermixed with the existing. Burlingame Library Foundation Invitations for the "Hard Hat Party: an Elegant Affair" have been mailed. The event will be held Saturday, October 14, 1995 in the vacated library. The evening will include dinner, both silent and live auction of books and wine, and several respected local authors, including Pulitzer Prize winning author Allen Drury. -1- 480 Primrose Road • Burlingame.

Displays of the new building will be available. Children's Services During July Cathy Somerton did a total of 15 "Begin with Books" programs including: 2 Toddler Story Times, 2 Bedtime Story Times, 2 class visits to Easton, 1 class visit to the Main, 7 program at schools and our special "End of Summer Session" Program with Sheila Rubin. These programs were attended by a total of 337 children. Personnel Tracy Hammond has returned from maternity leave on a permanent 25 hour per week schedule. This will leave us with 15 hours per week of public reference desk time to fill. As budgeted, we are filling a vacancy for a Library Assistant II, 25 hours per week. This was an in house recruitment. I am pleased to announce that Patti Flynn is our new Library Assistant II, working in both the Circulation and Technical Services Divisions. Holiday Schedule As requested last fall, I am bringing the holiday closure hours to the board for review. (See attached) Employee Achievement Awards This month marks the beginning of the process for Library board Employee Achievement Awards. The awards are given to up to three staff members. The Board generally selects a two member committee to review the nominations. Recommendations are made to the full Board at the October Board meeting.

This is indeed a generous offer. We have made the final selections and sent them in to the American Exchange Group for processing. We are planning to send 5 of the magazine titles to our Easton Branch Library to help enrich their collections. The remainder will reside here at the main library. We have decided to start a new collection with these titles and integrate them into our new and popular book collection. Thank you so much for your donation. You have allowed the Burlingame Library users access to some new titles which were not a part of our budget plans this year. Thanks again. Sincerely, Alfred H.

Escoffier, City Librarian RE: Easton Operations During Closure Attached is a proposal for Easton Branch operations during the main library closure. I am recommending that the hours expand from 23- 44 to include late morning and early evening hours. Easton would operate under this schedule for a period of approximately six weeks, from July 17th (the first day the Primrose Road facility is closed) through the month of August. This would allow some "slippage" should the move take longer or begin later than the current project schedule. Staff would be used from the Main Library to staff the extra hours. In addition, the public telephones, 342-1036 and 342-1037, would be routed via a voice mail explanation, by Pac Bell, referring users to the Easton Branch. CORRESPONDENCE B JEU3URLINGAME ', March 1, 1995 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Alfred H. Escoffier, City Librarian RE: Library Internet Access- For Your Information Purpose of Internet Access Internet in the public library will serve a dual function of education and information retrieval for both the novice and experienced user alike. The purpose of providing Internet for the public is to acquaint those who may not have access to the information highway with the new technology. Internet provides a vast pool of information. The focus of the library offering will be to try to harness this information by using a menu driven "Windows" software. "Windows" provides icons on the computer screen which guide the user to the various functions of the system. Using the System The system will have a "Home Page" which will allow users to access only certain portions of the Internet and help control where the user goes in the system. The model being used was developed by the Berkeley Public Library which has taken a leadership role in the development of this type of technology in the Bay Area. Some Functions Not Available Although we are still exploring ways to limit various functions, there are several areas which will be unavailable to the user. For example, no e-mail will be provided on the public Internet. The purpose of the menu system will be to try to restrict access to inappropriate sources, and focus on those which would be appropriate for library users. While we will do the best we can to highlight the most appropriate sources for users, it would be difficult to totally block portions of the net from the experienced user. In-Library Use Internet will be available to all library users. Although children may have access to the Internet, it is not meant to be a toy or a computer game. The appropriateness of children using the Internet, or indeed any materials in the public library is a decision made by parents. Librarians are available to provide information, guidance and research opportunities, but it is the parent's responsibility to provide parameters for use. -1- 480 Primrose Road • Burlingame, CA 94010-4083 • (415) 342-1038 • Fax (415) 342-1948 Initial System Access The initial system access will be offered throughout the Peninsula Library System via the system-wide network which also carries the Dynix system. Most public libraries in the system will have access to Internet in March 1995. Burlingame Public Library will not provide Internet access until Fall 1995, due to the move of the main library this summer. After that time, we plan to provide a workstation in the main reference area of the temporary library so that users may familiarize themselves with the "Information Superhighway." Because of a shortage of computer terminals, it may be necessary to limit access to certain hours of the day. We are pleased to able to offer Internet access on a system-wide basis to all library users in San Mateo County. However, because of it's access via our own network, the use of the Internet will be monitored carefully, as it is only one of the several features on our online system. -2- CORRESPONDENCE C r BURLINGAME 1 r �• Ge��C L��RP March 1, 1995 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Alfred H. Escoffier, City Librarian RE: Peninsula Library System Commendation- For Your Information Attached is a certificate awarded by the California Library Services Board and the Chief Executive Officer of the Board, State Librarian Kevin Starr, to the Peninsula Library System Advisory Board. The System Advisory Board provides citizen input and support of libraries throughout San Mateo County. The Board sponsors advocacy activities for libraries and hosts the annual Legislative Breakfast. This award is especially important to Burlingame, as the Advisory Board President for the past two years has been Burlingame Library Board Trustee Kristine Cannon. Under Ms. Cannon's leadership, the Board has flourished in it's activities in support of libraries. Ms. Cannon's dedication to library service is well known not only in Burlingame, but throughout the County, and now the the State. I am certain you will want to join me in congratulating Kristine Cannon on her commitment to libraries, as librarian, citizen volunteer and Advisory Board President. cc: Kristine Cannon 480 Primrose Road • Burlingame, CA 94010-4083 9 (415) 342-1038 0 Fax (415) 342-1948 '�%.1\a'; ,,..:%x�:':w....,1=�,;v/b.Nti..Ji:!i�i1 .:x ;;+'.r///\\N;�t57 �dN\�'.�• '.x. �p//\N.{ l�= .....
