Escoffier City Librarian Trustee Minutes April 4/28/95 IBURLINGAME 4 G � ���C L16� City Librarian's Report May 16, 1995 "Something New is Building..." Staff has reviewed the 60% Construction Drawings from Group 4. This review resulted in a number of clarifications of the design, as well as some interior changes (movement of walls, adjustment of doors, etc. ) The interior design work for the new building is currently under review. Several meetings are planned this month with Group 4 to clarify the vision for the interior spaces of the building. This aspect,of the planning is critical to both the functionality and the attractiveness of the interior spaces of the new building. "On the Move...." to Temporary Quarters! As of this writing, eight modular buildings of the 26 have arrived on site! All modulars should be delivered by May 11. The buildings are being fabricated in Patterson, California, at the rate of three per day. The contractor is moving quickly to set up the buildings, anchor them to the ground and begin interior work. The estimated date of completion is mid-June. This will give the city an opportunity to complete move planning, install shelving, cable and wire the building for use. Move/Shelving Vendor A "Request for Proposal' was drafted and issued to three prequalified vendors. The bids are due May 9. The final selection should be made by May 16. The vendor will be responsible for coordinating the move of furniture and equipment to the Temporary Quarters, Easton, and storage facilities. The vendor will install nearly 700 sections of steel library shelving in the Temporary Quarters and move the entire book collection (in order!!) to the 130 Park Road site. The mover will also be responsible for boxing and moving special collections to specialized off site storage in Richmond. Public Relations and Signage A sign indicating the future home of the library was installed at the site April 24. Posters have been installed at both libraries and book marks will be inserted into all outgoing materials beginning June 1. -1- 480 Primrose Road • Burlingame, CA 94010-4083 • (415) 342-1038 • Fax (415) 342-1948 Closure Schedule Closure dates for the main library will be July 17-August 11b During the interim patrons will be invited to use the Easton Branch, which will have extended hours. Library patrons may also use neighboring libraries. We have begun discussions with neighboring libraries to help prepare them for the impact of a 4 week closure on their libraries. Friends of the Library The Friends of the Library held a very successful book sale April 21, 22, 23, raising over $ 5,000. Our thanks go to the officers, as well as the many other Friends who helped: Sheri Galvin, Dorothy Siekert, Jean Ratel, and Woody Knudsen. How Your Library Helps Your Business An article on how businesses use the public library ran in "Burlingame Business" the Chamber of Commerce newsletter. In the article, I offer a perspective on the amount and type of usage of businesses in the library, as well as a list of materials that might be of interest to businesses in Burlingame. Burlingame Library Foundation The Foundation Board of Directors received some excellent publicity in the Boutique and San Mateo Times newspapers. Both newspapers published articles on the Foundation. In addition, the San Mateo Times did a front page article on the Tapestries, which included information on the Foundation. Easton Branch Major furnace repair and replacement were done during the month at Easton. We were alerted to several unsafe conditions which necessitated the work. Lisa Dunseth is busy making plans for several staff to move to Easton during the main library reconstruction. The Easton Branch Community Room will be used as offices during the interim. Storage areas are being cleaned out and some furniture items moved to the main library. The movers will take care of the move of desks, chairs, etc. in July. -2- Children's Services Planning for summer programs is underway. The theme for young children will be "Kids on the Move." Summer programs will be complete by July 14, several days before our move. A calendar/flyer will go out to all children indicating the library closure and alternative use of the library during the closure. Schedule of Upcoming Board Meetings Due to the impending move, I would like to recommend that the Board consider canceling the July 18th Board meeting. The July meeting falls on the second day of our scheduled move. I am recommending that we cancel this meeting and plan to meet August 15th . , Upcoming Events: o Foundation Board Meeting, May 11, 4:00 pm o Library Board Meeting, May 16, 4:30 pm o Mystery Author Program, May 16, 7:30 pm, Council Chambers o Legislative Breakfast, Saturday, May 20, Stanford Park Hotel o Library Board Meeting, June 20, 4:30 pm CL.29 -3- STATISTICS FOR APRIL1995 REGISTERED BORROWERS: Total Registered: Burlingame Adults 13,700 Burlingame Children 2,311 Hillsborough Adults 2,023 Hillsborough Children 819 Universal Borrowers 52 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CIRCULATION ACTIVITY: Main Branch Adult Print Materials(books, periodicals, pamphlets, paperbacks) 22,133 1,084 Children's Print Materials (books, periodicals, pamphlets, paperbacks) 7,263 990 Audio Visual Materials(records, cassettes, films, videos, cd's) 5,205 134 TOTALS: 34,601 2,208 Main Total 1995 Circ: 34,601 Main Total 1994 Circ: 37,311 = 7.26%Dec.

It's happening in Palo Alto, San Carlos and other cities throughout the nation and around the Peninsula, as the World Wide Web of the Internet continues to grow. Local busi- nesses or cities can sign up with a service having a "web site" for a couple of hundred dollars a month, or buy their own web site, to park information which is available W any- one using the Internet worldwide. The rapid growth of this information and communication technology and how it will affect our homes, city government and local business was made abundantly clear at the recent Progress Seminar in Monterey hosted by Peninsula City Chambers of Commerce. It is truly changing our lives and the way we do business for the better,allowing instant two-way communication and bet- ter, faster services. By the time you read this, Sa.mTrans and BART will have made the decision on which route to select as the new locally preferred alternative to bring BART from Colma to the vicm- -' ity of the Airport. Five out of six city councils (all but Burlingame) and the BART staff are supporting Alternative IV,the only alternative connecting directly to the airport and ending with a major station at Millbrae Avenue. Whatever the decision may be and if the major funding is truly com- ing from the Federal Government and the Airport, it is important that there be local control over station design and mitigation of the transportation impacts.Our local busi- nesses and the City should stay active in molding this major decision into a positive one, one which could benefit the Peninsula and Burlingame if properly handled. The Chamber and City were instrumental in applying for and winning a new$55,000 grant for operation next year of the successful mid-day shuttle. The bus shuttle brings hotel guests to the Avenues to shop and patronize our restaurants. A new valet parking ordinance is also under development by the City and local businesses around Lorton to deal with parking needs due to the restaurant expansion. The Cham- ber was also successful in helping the City start a study for the beautification of Burlingame and Broadway Avenues,and the City has just issued a request for proposals to get the study underway. We thank the City Council for its support. Our successful Chamber membership drive brought 35 new members. Welcome to all, and a thank-you to all Chamber Board members and volunteers who helped on the drive. We are growing and look for your involvement with the issues that affect our future. Finally, please come to support our local schools at the BCE "Adventure on the Orient Express" Dinner Dance May 6, Sponsored in part by the Chamber. The quality of our com- munity depends on strong, excellent schools and deserves the support of each of us and our businesses. The rain has stopped and we're looking forward to a beau- tiful spring!

The San Mateo Public Library is proud to provide training in basic reading and writing �. to adults who have not developed these life skills through the usual school process. We are appealing to the City of Burlingame to continue contributing to Project-Read San Mateo in 1995-96 so we may continue to serve Burlingame learners in our program. San Mateo County residents have access to adult literacy services through their municipal and county libraries and the Peninsula Library System encourages its members to cooperate and collaborate for efficient library services. The San Mateo County Library specifically contracts with the San Mateo Public Library for literacy services provided residents of adjacent areas: Foster City, Belmont, San Carlos and Millbrae. Your support will ensure that current learners in the program and all Burlingame residents have access to this important service. Burlingame has 16 learners in the program and 15 residents are active tutors. If the City of Burlingame awards $4 , 000 for adult literacy services, the cost per Burlingame learner is $250. 00. Project Read-San Mateo receives no direct support from the City of San Mateo's general fund. Administrative and overhead costs are provided in kind by the library, but operational funds are generated from grants allocated by the City Council through a Community Development Block Grant ($20, 000) , State matching grants, private donations and contract services with San Mateo County ($12 , 000) . The operating budget for next year is approximately $52 , 000 and we anticipate serving 150 learners. Please contact me if you need additional information. We look forward to continuing to serve Burlingame residents in our adult literacy program. Sincerely, Kathleen G. Ouye City Librarian
