MINUTES.
Minutes of the meeting of October 16th, 1979 were approved as written and ordered filed.
LIBRARIAN'S REPORT:
Capital Improvements: Librarian Bergsing reported that the contract for the Roof Repairs had been
approved by the City Council at their meeting of November 19th. Ace Roofing Company will do the work
for $13,000.00. She also reported that the R.L.I.N. terminal had arrived and had been installed. As
soon as the staff receives training on the terminal, she will schedule a demonstration for the Board
members.
Terms of Commissioners: Mrs. Bergsing distributed copies of the "Resolution Establishing Procedures
for Commission Appointments" that the Council had approved. The major change from the draft document
was the provision that Commissioners could fill two complete terms after filling an unexpired term.
Brief discussion followed.
Employee Manual: Copies of the Personnel Manual that Joy Molder, Assistant City Librarian, had researched
and written during the past year, were distributed. There was some discussion on the contents of the
manual, and Chairman DeMartini praised Mrs. Molder for her work. He noted that there had been a need for
such a manual for a long time.
Membership Fees for P.L.S.: Librarian Bergsing briefly outlined some of the proposed formulas for
assessing fees for membership in the System. These include the Civil Defense formula, a per capita
formula, and a formula based on a combination of the percentages of population, number of volumes in
the collections, annual circulation, and the number of registered borrowers per library. No decision
was reached at the P.L.S. Board meeting of November 15th, but a vote will be taken at the December
meeting. At the moment, a majority of the Board seem to be favoring the combination formula as the
most relevant and equitable. Since it appears that System operations will be short approximately
$50,000.00 in 1980-1981, out of a total projected budget of approximately $350,000.00, all the members
contributions will have to increase. For Burlingame, all the formulas proposed would cost approximately
$5,000.00 or about double the current fee of $2,400.00. The major change in the new structure would be
that the County's share would increase from the current $2,400.00 to a more equitable $17,000.00 to
$18,000.00 annually.
Personnel: Chairman DeMartini noted the change in Personnel, and reminded the Libraryian that the Board
appreciated meeting all new staff members.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
C.L.A. Conference: Mrs. Bergsing distributed copies of a letter from the State Librarian inviting all
Library Board members to a special all day seminar on "Planning Processes for Library Boards." It will be
held at the San Francisco Hilton Hotel on Saturday, December 8th. In order to attend, each Board member
must register for the Conference for $30.00. After discussion about the program and other arrangements,
Trustee Hechinger, Parsons and Weatherbe all agreed they would like to attend even if they had to pay for
their own expenses.
NEW BUSINESS:
P.L.S. Advisory Board: Trustee Nagle gave a report on the activities of the Advisory Board to date. They
include meeting and touring the difference libraries in the System; learning the operations and funding,
and studying the various projects and activities with which the System is involved. Specifically he told
about the Union Catalog located at the County Headquarters in Belmont, the new Film Center, the Outreach
Van (partially subsidized by VayView Feceral Savings and Loan Association), and the Computerized Community
Information Project. He also gave each Board member one copy of the California Position Paper that the
delegates took back to the White House Conference. Mr. Nagle was elected as an alternate delegate to the
Conference, but when no funding was made available for the alternates, he was unable to attend.
Additional Hours- At the Easton Branch: Trustee Parsons asked about the possibility of requesting the City
Council to add a few more open service hours to the Branch schedule. Discussion followed. Librarian
Bergsing pointed out this year's budget had already been approved. Then she gave each Trustee a copy of
the Finance Director's memo regarding the possible future effects of the Gann Initiative on the City. The
Board agreed to study the memo and to table further discussion until the December meeting.
Inventions of Leonardo da Vinci: Mrs. Bergsing informed the Board that during the month of May the
Burlingame Library would have a special exhibition of the inventions of Leonardo da Vinci. The Library had
requested the special traveling exhibit of models amost five years ago, and our request had finally been
approved. The show is provided at no cost as a public service by the I.B.M. Corporation. The Friends
and staff are planning a reception and special publicity and programs around the event. Everyone is very --
enthusiastic.
Christmas Party: On behalf of the staff, Mrs. Bergsing extended an invitation to the Board to attend the
annual staff Christmas Party on the evening of December 2nd. It will be held at the home of Barbara Rowe
in Half Moon Bay. The Board generously agreed to contribute a roast turkey for the pot luck dinner.
ADJOURNMENT:
The meeting was adjourned at 5:50 pm with the next meeting scheduled for December 18th, 1979 at 4:30 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Patricia M. Bergsing

LIBRARIAN'S REPORT
DEM1BER 18th, 1979
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS :
As wasreported to you at your last Board meeting, the R.L. I .N. Terminal
was delivered and installed in the Cataloging Department . On November 30th,
Ms . Libby Trudell of C.L.A.S .S . , provided several staff members with a
three hour training session on the terminal. It is apparent that this new
service will be a major resource and time saver for the staff and will
heighten service to the public.
BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS :
We recently had a new drinking fountain installed at the Main Library.
The original fountain that was purchased and donated by the Burlingame
Women 's Club in 1971, was. ,slowly deteriorating and therefore needed replacing.
Paul Borg from the Public Works Department was kind enough to perform the
task of removing and replacing.
USE OF THE LIBRARY:
Reference activity was up 10% this month over November 1978, while
Interlibrary Loan activity continues to increase . A 41% increase occured
this month over the same period in 1.978. Burlingame Public Library continues
to be one of the most active users of P.L.S . Burlingame Public Library
librarians used the P .L.S . Reference Coordinator on behalf of our patrons
more than any library in the System. Circulation has increased over a year
ago at the Main Library. November 1979 proved to be a busy public service
month .
CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS :
Christmas decorations in the Main Library were put up on Wednesday,
December 12th . The usual "Partridge in its Pear Tree" is located on the
Circulation Desk, with various greens and holly placed here and there around
the Library . The Topiary Ivy Tree has been temporarily placed in the Main
Reading Room which adds a little extra touch to the festive look.
C.L.A . NEWS :
The California Library Association held its annual Conference at the
San Francisco Hilton Hotel on December 8th through the 12th.. The Conference
featured many excellent programs . Staff reports are attached which will give
you a good summary of staff participation .
This year the California Association of Library Trustees and Commissioner;
( C A L T A C) sponsored a special day long workshop. Barbara Parsons and
June Weatherbe attended the event with Joy Molder, Assistant City Librarian.
A brief report will be delivered at the Board meeting. I feel Trustee
participation in C .L.A. is very helpful to the Library. I 'm pleased that
Barbara and June attended.

CALIFORNIA LIBRARY ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE 1979
I attended the Conference Sunday, December 9, Monday, December 10 and. Wednesday
December 12.
On Sunday morning I attended the CLA Council Forum Coordinating Committee meeting,
as President of the CLA Bay Area Chapter. I learned something more about the
forums and about the plans for 1980. The CLA Forums are designed as educational
programs held throughout the State during the year. They are often held in
conjunction with the meetings of a geographical chapter. This year, the forums
will all be held during April and May.
After a visit to the Exhibits to learn something more about foreign language book
availability for our collections, I attended a panel discussion on the subject of
"Are Librarians Censors" The panel was varied. The discussion centered on book
selection standards by librarians active in the field; discussion of conflict between
standards and intellectual freedom.
Monday morning I attended the Friends of California Libraries to hear Assemblyman
Daniel Boatwright (D-Concord) who delivered a negative overview of future funding
for libraries. His prediction for public libraries is very negative should the
Jarvis II proposition pass on the June 1980 ballot. This would cut State Income
tax by 50% and would virtually eliminate most state services.
Also on Monday, I caught the brief presentation by author Cyra McFadden and attended
the program " Weeding - A Collection Development Tool" This program was useful in
general , but was too heavily slanted to government documents to be specifically useful .
Later in the day, I attended the program "Funding California Public Libraries" , in
which the speakers also presented a bleak picture for public libraries , but some
practical advice was given: to write legislators, especially those on the Senate
Finance Committee, to urge passage of the Nielsen Bill , SB 958 which would provide
state funding at $11 .00 per capita for 40% of the support for public libraries.
This bill would provide permanent, consistant support for libraries. The bill is
expected to be heard January 7, immediately after the Senate resumes.
Wednesday, I presided at a program of the Bay Area Chapter, with speaker Bob
Berner of the San Francisco Heritage Foundation, discussing his book Splendid
Survivors. This program is the first of this newly formed chapter. Later in the
day I attended a membership meeting and council meeting.

C.L.A. , Monday, December 10th, 1979
�. I attended the morning meeting for library service to the
institutionalized. The speaker was Mel Foote , of the California Youth
Authority, whose topic was "doing It In the Library. " This turned out
to be a discussion of information on sexuality . What forms it takes
and how it is made available to persons of all ages . Mr . Foote emphasized
the librarian ' s role in making reliable materials accessible to patron's
with various information needs . He suggested we pay close attention to
how and why we select materials , and how we respond to questions regarding
them. He also passed out bibliographics of what he considered accurate ,
current , easily understood sources of information on sex education .
I also attended the government documents chapter meeting on "Weeding -
A Collection Development Tool" . Unfortunately this turned out to be
weeding government documents only, although the first speaker, Christine
Simpson of San Jose State University gave some general weeding guidelines .
I did not stay for the entire meeting.
The last meeting I attended was a panel discussion on "Funding for
Public Libraries" . Speakers were : 1) Legislative advocate for C .L.A. ,
Mr . Mike Dillon, who discussed his activities during the past year; 2)
Colin Clark, Information manager at C.S .L. , who gave a "state of the
state" report on libraries and their financial outlook; 3) Senator
James Nielson , who discussed the the progress of SB-958 and suggested ways
for librarian ' s to work as advocates; 4) Mary Stevens , chairperson of the
County Librarian ' s Association, who suggested specific techniques to promote
advocacy among library users.
I also attended the exhibits and will attend a meeting on Wednesday
morning on "Using Volunteers in Libraries" .
CALIFORNIA LIBRARY ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE
December 8 - 12, 1979
REPORT - Joy S. Molder
I . 1 attended the CALTAC Workshop for Trustees, Saturday, Dec. 8, with
Trustee June Weatherbe and Trustee Barbara Parsons. It was a well-planned �.,ork-
shop. The morning session covered community analysis, types of library roles,
and methods for meeting public needs within a unique community. The speakers
were Roger Greer, Dean, USC School of Library Science, and Martha L. Hale,
Associate Directory for Community Analysis Research Institute, USC. Their
premise is that if you study the unique aspects of your community, gear your
services and role to those aspects, forget the traditional definitions
established 100 years ago, the library in your community will be a priority
and essential agency which the public will support. Both speakers were
dynamic and stressed that Trustees can be instumental studying and surveying
the community and can aid the library staff by making relevant recommendations
for needed services. Mr. Robert E. Banes, Managment Process Consultant,
C & B Associates, gave the afternoon presentation. His talk covered the inter-
relationship and roles of the three parts of a govenmental agency: The
Legislative (City Council ), the Staff (city employees) , and the Advisory/
Citizen Groups (Library Board of Trustees). I felt this was most helpful for
trustees and myself because it helped identify the distinct roles we each
had. A panel of various public representatives followed and each described
how they helped or viewed Library involvment. Orin library advocate from
San Francisco, described how she and other citizens effected financial support
for their local library branch. Another woman spoke about coordinating
volunteers and the public support for libraries that can be generated through
the use of volunteers. The workshop had a heavy emphasis on building citizen
support and involvment for the library.
11 . 1 attended the morning session "Having Effective Meetings" sponsored
by the California Junior Member's Round Table. A professional parliamentarian
gave tips on using the parliamentary procedure to make meetings work. She
discussed many of the misuses of the parliamentary procedure also. This was a
useful presentation. Following this, was a one hour workshop on the Interaction
Method of running meetings. This method dows not use the formal parliamentary
process, instead uses a facilitator and recorder -to keep meetings on course
and productive. This method emphasizes the "buying in" to decisions (win/win
outcome) rather than the adversary, debate process (win/ lose outcome) of the
parliamentary process. A very useful session.
111 . 1 attended the afternoon session "Public Library Association's Planning
Process for Public Libraries". Vernon Palmour and Nancy DeWath of King Research,
Inc. , described the PLS's pilot project to work with libraries in formal
planning. This is a self-study method for librarians to assess their communities,
library needs, develop goals and objectives, determine service priorities, and
design stategies for change. I look forward to the manual developed by King
Research, Inc. , due out in the Spring 1980.

CALIFORNIA LIBRARY ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE, Con't.
December 8 - 12, 1979
REPORT - Joy S. Molder
IV. I accompanied Alice Fricke, Natalie Williams, and Ruth Gottlieb of the
Friends of the Burlingame Public Library, Monday, Dec. 10, to the special
Friends of California Libraries session. Assemblyman Daniel Boatwright (D-
Concord), spoke of current financial legislation and propositions that
could affect public libraries. Mr. Boatwright's general feeling is that
"if Jarvis II passes, we will all go down the tubes together." Mrs. Carol
Jacobs of Portola Valley, presented a fascinating talk on her long-time
hobby of collecting children's books. She presented slides of illustrations
from a variety of children's books and discussed their importance in the
history of children's publishing. A fascinating and delightful program.
I did not attend as much of the Conference activities because I felt a
responsibility to be available to library staff during Mrs. Bergsing's
absense.
