etc. at the Easton Branch Library. Librarian Bergsing also explained other plans that were in
the process of being reviewed for further cutbacks. She will keep the Board informed as the

The Board was impressed with the Reference Department report of projects and accomplishments
for 1978.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
Easton Drive Branch: This item of business was discussed in length during the review of the
Librarian's Report.
C.L.S.A.: Librarian Bergsing reported that the C.L.S.A. survey had been completed; and according
to her figures, the Burlingame Library should receive $12,045.30 in reimbursement funds for the
first six months.
Special Fund Savings Account: Librarian Bergsing reported on the information compiled regarding
the opening of a savings account with part of the money in the Special Fund, which is presently
in a checking account that does not bear interest on the balance. The Librarian reported that
we had checked into two banks and two savings and loans; and thought the two best options were:
Bank of America and Northern California Savings. The advantage at Bank of America was that
there is no minimum balance to maintain and our present checking account was located with them
now. On the other hand, Northern California Savings offered a higher interest rate. Both banks
phone. After discussion,
Trustee Weatherbe moved

that a balance of approximately $1200 be maintained in the Bank of America checking account
and the remainder of the Special Fund be put in Theamotgionawassunt at secondedrby Trusteern California

LIBRARIAN'S REPORT
February 20, 1979
UPDATE ON BRANCH:
The past month has been spent in a number of adjustments regarding the Branch.
Barbara Rowe, the Branch Librarian, is continuing to supervise the over-all
operation of the Branch. She is working there on Mondays and Tuesdays with
Betty Hallock, Library Assistant I , and Ginny Rollett, Library Assistant I , in
charge on Wednesdays and Thursdays respectively.
The circulation of materials is down from 4,412 in January a year ago to 3,250
items in January this year--a decrease of 23.63%. Since the hours have been tut
from 48 hours to 19 hours, it is apparent that use has not declined at the same
rate as hours closed. This follows the same pattern as other libraries in the
County that have reduced hours.
We have begun to monitor the number of people using the library by counting the
people in the building every hour on the half-hour. I am enclosing a summary of
the figures even though we have only been tabulating them for the past three weeks.
I ' ll have another report for you next month. The pattern is developing as we
anticipated, heavier use on Mondays and Tuesdays, lighter on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
We have begun a survey of Branch patrons, soliciting their opinions regarding hours.
So far, nothing definitive has developed, but we will continue to survey for at least
another month. I ' ll have a summary of the results for you at your March meeting.
Mrs. Rowe reports that the majority of the patrons are pleased that the Branch is
�= still open at all even with the reduced schedule.
We have reviewed all our magazine subscriptions both at the Main and Branch. We
are notifying our jobber to drop 14 subscriptions from the Branch (based on low
circulation) . We are continuing with 50 subscriptions, and recommend that the
Friends of the Library pay for them. The list will amount to about $400. We
have also notified Faxon Company to remove all Branch subscriptions from the
three-year renewal cycle. We still aren' t sure whether this can be done for
subscriptions already paid for two and three years. We may have to let them
run their course.
We have reviewed all standing orders for the Branch, and have notified Blackwell ,
North America to drop 23 orders for the Branch, to continue 12 and to transfer
7 to the Main. This means that we may order individual titles as the need arises,
but we will not automatically receive them.
In summary, I think things are settling down at the Branch as everyone gets a
little used to the new routine. We will continue to monitor use and we will have
further suggestions regarding any changes in service as time goes along.
SYSTEM ADVISORY BOARD:
Under the new California Library Services Act, every public library system in the
State must establish an advisory board made up of lay people by March 31 , 1979•
The State Library has forwarded to each system a number of guidelines, and the
1.. Peninsula Library System Board will be considering these at its meeting of
February 15, 1979• Since I am writing this prior to that date, I ' ll have to report
to you in greater detail at your meeting. In general , however, you should know
that the P. L.S. Board will be made up of eight members, one from each participating
Librarian's Report
February 20, 1979

jurisdiction; and that the City Councils and Board of Supervisors not the Library
Boards, must make the appointments. However, it has been suggested that the Boards
forward their recommendations to the Council . You will have to do this at your
February meeting, in order to give the Council time to act before the March 31
deadline.
MAIN LIBRARY - CIRCULATION AND REFERENCE STATISTICS:
We spent some time this .month compiling statistics for the use of Main Library' s
services during the past seven months compared with the same period one year ago.
We did this partly at the request of the San Mateo Public Library, and partly
because we felt we needed to tet you know what impact, if any, Proposition 13 and
San Mateo Public Library's reduced operating hours had produced on our services.
Since July 1 , 1978, San Mateo Public Library has been open only from 12 Noon to
6 P.M. on Thursdays and closed on Fridays and Sundays. As a result of the recently
completed study of the San Mateo Public Library they are reassessing their operating
hours with the hope of reopening some hours they are now closed.
As a study of the figures reveals, Burlingame Public Library has experienced
an over-all increase in circulation and reference use during this seven-month
period. Not surprisingly, the heaviest increases in circulation have been on
Fridays and Sundays, but the heaviest increases in reference has been on Thursdays.
1 can' t offer a good explanation for this. However, the figures also show that
Burlingame Public Library has not been completely inundated with San Mateo borrowers,
particularly on Sundays, as the staff and I had feared might happen. I understand
that San Mateo Public Library has been experiencing extremely busy Saturdays, so it
appears that patrons have adjusted their schedules to a great extent to use San Mateo
on Saturdays rather. than travel to Burlingame on Sundays.
January marks the busiest month in Reference in many years. Total questions were up
32% over January of last year. We were 640 questions above the 4-year average for
January.
REPORT ON FINES, OVERDUE NOTICES AND CREDIT BUREAU:
This was our month to evaluate what we have been doing. I - am enclosing a summary of
Credit Bureau accounts for the past three years, a summary of overdue notices sent,
and a total of fines collected. You will noteincreases in accounts sent to Credit
Bureau and fines collected and some interesting fluctuations in notices sent. These
kinds of reports should prove helpful in assessing current workloads.
FOUNDATION AND ROOF REPAIRS:
The Main Library has continued to experience a number of leaks in the roof both in
the Browsing Room and the Main Reading Room. If these cannot be corrected with the
relatively minor repairs we have been undergoing, we may be faced with some major
and costly repairs in next year's budget.
In addition, we are getting bids to seal the facade around the foundation of the
new addition. The facing appears to be pulling away from the building. The City
y Engineer has received three bids, and if we take the lowest bid of approximately
$685.00, we may be able to pay for it in this year 's budget. If that doesn't stop
the leaking, we may have to consider extensive foundation work which could amount
to thousands of dollars. The other two bids the City has received are for $1248.00
and $6,500.00.
Librarian's Report
February 20, 1979

REGIONAL AND GOVERNOR'S CONFERENCE:
The Regional Conference was held on January 27th in San Jose. June Weatherbe, Bill
Nagle, Joy Molder, Al Escoffier and I attended. Over 500 people were there, repre-
senting lay and professional people from seven Bay Area Counties. The conference
was devoted to identifying areas of concerns to be addressed at the Governor' s
Conference in Sacramento on March 2, 3, 4; and to selecting delegates to attend
that meeting. Based on population, San Mateo County was allocated eight repre-
sentatives to attend the Governor's Conference. We recently received word that
Mr. William Nagle was one of the eight delegates chosen to represent this County.
I think it is a considerable honor for Burlingame and for Bill , and I 'm sure you
will want to invite him to your Board meeting in March to report on the Conference.
NEW CONTRACT BETWEEN CITY AND BURLINGAME EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION:
am including a copy of the recently approved contract between the City and the
Miscellaneous Employees. Under our current budgeting procedures, the direct cost
to the library's budget will be for the 8% raise effective July 1 , 1979.
HOLIDAY SCHEDULE:
Attached is a copy of the holiday schedule for 1979. With the exception of Veteran's
Day, these are all approved City holidays.
�. TRANSFER OF FUNDS TO SAVINGS ACCOUNT:
Immediately after this month's Board meeting, and we receive your signatures, we
will transfer the bulk of the Special Fund account to Northern California Savings
and Loan. In answer to a question raised last month, the account with a balance
of $8,000.00 will earn $431 .20 in interest for one year at the savings and loan
and $410.40 in interest for one year at the bank--a difference of $20.80.
COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT:
A weeding manual and schedule are being developed. Weeding is an integral part
of collection maintenance, and with a systematic and continuous program, subject
selectors can provide the very best collection to the public.
In the coming months, we will be making available for loan copies of Internal
Revenue Service cassette instructions for completing individual tax forms. The
tapes are in both Spanish and English. This marks the third year we have participated
in this public information program.
STAFF DEVELOPMENT:
Joy Molder is in the process of finalizing the first staff development program
scheduled for Thursday, February 15 and February 23. The program is entitled,
"Person-to-Person P.R." and will be one hour long. We will cover interpersonal
communications with walk-in patrons and telephone patrons. A film provided by
Pacific Telephone will also be shown to illustrate good customer relations.
The next program will deal with the problem patron and is scheduled for March.
These two subjects are educational needs we as staff have so that we can deal
effectively and uniformly with our public. Representatives from the Peninsula
Hospital Community Mental Health Services and the Police Department will be
present to instruct us.

STAFF DEVELOPMENT: Continued
Pat Thomas, Technical Services Supervisor, will attend, at her own expense, a
three-day conference entitled, "Closing (Freezing, Opening) , the Catalog" in
San Francisco, February 14, 15, and 16. The conference will deal with alternative
forms to the card catalog and the impact of technology.
VOLUNTEERS:
Betty Hallock and Sue Reiterman are making plans for their second regular meeting
of volunteers, February 23. The winter meeting will include an exchange of ideas
and dissemination of information which may be useful to volunteers in their work.
PERSONNEL:
Two new pages were hired in the Circulation Department the month of January; John
(Jay) Phelan and Eric Peterson. Both young men live in Burlingame and attend
Serra High School . We' re pleased to have them on our staff.
CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT:
In addition to the regularly scheduled activities of the Children's Room, the United
Methodist Nursery School and the Field Moore Academy visited the library. Joan
Riordan Leach visited McKinley School .
SAN MATEO PUBLIC LIBRARY STUDY:
A copy of the San Mateo Public Library study and the comments and reply of the staff
are available in the Reference Department if any of you wish to read it. The
San Mateo Library Board is now going over both reports so they can make recommenda-
tions to the City Council . I don't think they anticipate any changes until July.
