ASSEMBLY SUBCOMMITTEE WILL HEAR LIBRARY BUDGET ISSUES ON MARCH 14th The Assembly Budget Subcommittee Number Two on Education Finance is scheduled to hear the State Library's budget on Wednesday, March 14th at the State Capitol. As we reported to you in our January 30th memo, these six Assembly members are critical. On March 14, they will begin reviewing the Governor's proposed January Budget for the State Library -a Budget which contains: 1)a $52,000 reduction to the Public Library Foundation (which is intended to initiate the California State Library's Integrated Library System Replacement Project), and 2) no increase or recommendation regarding Transaction Based Reimbursement. These six members will then decide to make a recommendation regarding our library issues, or defer the issue until May, when the May Revision of the Budget is released. If funding for the PLF is not included at the subcommittee level, it is almost impossible to get it included later at the larger Budget Conference Committee level. Thus, these next few months of negotiations in subcommittee will be very important, and your letters to the subcommittee are of great value. Please take a moment to write the members of the Assembly and Senate Budget Subcommittees today! If you are writing letters on behalf of the PLF, please urge that the members support: Restoring the $52,000 that the Governor cut in the ---ublic Library Foundation 2. Request that the legislature continue augmenting this program that is woefully underfunded. (Full funding, according to statute would require $94,217,000 -yet the PLF baseline currently stands at $21.3 million!) Note: CLA will also be working with the Budget Subcommittee members and staff to encourage them to reject the Governor's $52,000 reduction and create a separate Budget line item in the Budget for the State Library Integrated Library System Replacement Project-so that the project is notjeopardized, and that future funding needs for this program comes out of the state General Fund, and not the PLF baseline. (You do not need to include this in your letters if you do not feel comfortable addressing this complex issue.)

LIBRARY BOND BILL SET FOR FIRST HEARING IN SENATE EDUCATION COMMITTEE Senator Joe Simitian's SB 156, a $4 billion library construction and renovation bond measure, sponsored by CLA, has _ been scheduled for hearing in the Senate Education Committee. The hearing will be held on Wednesday, March 28th at 9:30 a.m. in room 4203 at the State Capitol. SB 156 is the work product of an ad hoc committee of CLA members and the Proposition 14 Steering Committee. As mentioned previously, the measure is similar to SB 1161-Alpert, which failed passage on the June 2006 ballot, except for the following: 1. The minimum amount per project has been increased from $50,000 to $500,000. 2. The maximum amount per project has been increased from $20 million to $30 million. 3. 5% of the total bond amount will be made available for joint-use projects, rather than the specific $25 million set-aside in the last bond act. 4. There will be no priority given to applicants submitted, but not funded from the 2000 Bond Act(the so-called "Cycle 3" Applicant priority), as the committee felt that too much time will have elapsed with construction costs, etc. to make this provision appropriate. Thus, everyone will start on an even, competitive playing field with SB 156. Over the last few weeks, Senator Simitian has been actively gathering names of potential co-authors to add to the bill. Many of you had excellent meetings with legislators during your"Day In the District" events, and some legislators noted that they wanted to be co-authors on the bond bill during your meetings. Thanks to several of you for passing that information on to our offices -we, in turn, gave that information to Senator Simitian. Please take a moment today to write the members of the Senate Education Committee and urge their strong support for - SB 156-Simitian. The committee will need to receive hundreds of support letters in order to make the necessary impact, a there is tremendous competition this year for bonds, including the Governor's own $41 billion Strategic Growth Plan, a massive infrastructure bond package that would complement last year's successful bond deal.

BURL NOAME : : 1%vFV.UL March 9, 2007 THE BIG READ: To Kill a Mockingbird More than 40 programs are now in place for the month of April "To Kill a Mockingbird" month.. Burlingame will host the opening night program on April 3rd, as well as two film programs, including the producer of"The N Word" who will join us from Los Angles to talk about her film. Calendars, bookmarks, booklists, posters and fliers will be ready by March 15th for distribution to libraries, book stores, schools, colleges and retail stores to advertise the event. We have already had one article in the San Mateo County Times. I will see to it that you receive the printed materials as soon as they are ready. Information will also be available on our website: www.plsinfo.org/tkm. Veterans of War, Veterans of Peace On March 7th, the library presented a program based on the book compiled by Maxine Hong Kingston: Veterans of War, Veterans of Peace. Maureen Nerli, a Burlingame resident and former member of the United Service.Organization volunteer in Vietnam, brought a panel of authors to the library for a reading from their works and a Q 8s A regarding their war experiences. The event was a moving and important tribute to our veterans and those serving in the war. There were Vietnam veterans and Iraqi veterans in the audience which added to the poignancy of the evening. Budget Time The library budget is nearly complete and is due to the city on March 23rd. We are hoping to increase some additional staff hours in children's and reference, and add some hours to our maintenance crew. There will be some increases in collections and databases, but otherwise the budget will be very similar to last year. I did not ask for additional public service hours; however additional public service hours are included in the List of Unfunded Items I shared with you last month and with Council this month. Unlike previous years, the budgets will be presented in 5 minutes segments by the Department Heads rather than presented by the City Council members themselves. Department Heads may offer a one page presentation. 48o Primrose Road•Burlingame•California 94010-4083 Phone(650)558-7474'Fax(650)342-6295'www.burlingame.org/library Foundation Budget Wishlist The Foundation has approved $ 60,000 in funding for collections, children's and adult programming for 2007-2008. 1St Annual Foundation Author's Luncheon The First annual Foundation Author's Luncheon will feature former Senator Jackie Speier of Hillsborough discussing the book she co-wrote with three other authors, Michaelene Cristini Risley, Jan Yanehiro and Deborah Collins Stephens: "This is not the life I ordered: 50 way to keep you head above water when life keeps dragging you down." The event will be held on Saturday, May 5th at the Crystal Springs Country Club at noon. Two hundred tickets are the maximum that can be sold. Letters have gone out to former donors to request underwriting of the event: This is the first of what the Foundation Board hopes will be an annual and growing event. We expect this event to sell out based on the buzz so far! Patron Ban from February Meeting We have received a letter from Marika Matyus regarding her banning from the library. It is unclear what she is asking for in the letter. City Attorney, Larry Anderson and I are working on the next steps which we feel should be facilitated by an outside agency such as Conflict Resolution, due to the inflammatory nature of the previous encounters with the patron. The ban on the patron is,expected to expire on Tuesday, --� May 15th, according the Board's February action. I will keep you posted on any changes in this situation as they arise.
