LIBRARIAN'S REPORT
September 20, 1977
1977 - 1978 FINAL BUDGET
Enclosed is a copy of the City Council Budget Chairman, Irving Amstrup's re-
port to the Council regarding the budget. Also, included is the final budget
and summary for the library.
INDIVIDUAL FUND TAXES
.On page two, #5 of Mr. Amstrup' s budget report, he refers , to changing from In-
dividual Fund Taxes to a single general fund tax. In the September newsletter
from the California State Librarian, Mrs. Ethel Crockett, the following item
appeared:
"GENERAL CITY TAX RATES CLARIFIED
Since passage in 1973 of SB 90, the measure which placed an effective
cap on local government tax rates, there have been annual "clean up"
bills enacted to clarify or correct technical points of law. This
year's clean up bill , AB 99, has now been signed by Governor Brown and
enacted as Chapter 309 of the Statutes of 1977. It formalizes what
many have for several years believed to be the case, that general law
cities no longer have a dedicated-purpose library tax rate of up to
30 cents. (AB 99 had no effect on tax rates of counties, charter cities ,
or library districts. ) A library tax for general law cities has been
found inconsistent with the overall ceiling on the city-wide tax levy
`.- and the corresponding flexibility cities need to determine their pri-
orities. "
INVENTORY
On August 31 , the inventory of the library's adult book collection was completed
by Susan Holmer and Lynn Kosro, our two anti-recession employees. They finished
the project by turning in an excellent thorough report summarizing all the pro-
cedures and the results and their recommendations. Primarily they suggested
installing a security system as soon as possible.
The entire report is available for any board member who wishes to read it, but
attached is the summary of the losses by Dewey number, and what it would cost to
replace all these volumes at current market prices. The figures speak for them-
selves -- staggering and depressing! .
BOOK SECURITY SYSTEM
The City Librarian will have a complete report and recommendation for purchase
prepared for the October Board Meeting. It is hoped that a final decision can
be made at that time and the ordering process initiated immediately thereafter.
CETA employees will place the protection devices in the books, but it will be
a fairly lengthly procedure, and the system can' t be implemented very sucess-
fully until the majority of the collection has been protected.
Librarian' s Report

DISPOSAL OF FURNITURE
The library successfully concluded its silent auction at the end of August. We
collected a total of $259.40. The few items remaining to be disposed of, we
shall try and sell at the Friends Book Sale, the first weekend in October. There
is very little left -- mostly a few chairs. As I notified you last month, most of
the articles were given to other city departments. The funds were deposited to
the city's general fund account.
REFURBISHING PROJECTS
During the past month, the old chandelier above the circulation desk has been
completely cleaned, rewired, and rehung by the City Electrician. It looks con-
siderably better than it has for the past several years.
Shutters have been added to the windows of the California Room and the Librarian's
office. Still to come -- locked bookcases, board table, and completion of beams
around the light fixtures.
The library has a new wall decoration in the big reading room. When the old city
hall was demolished, the City Electrician, Buzz Taylor, rescued one of the six
decorative medallions embedded in the upper corners of the building. He. has been
storing it ever since, and has generously decided to donate it to the library as
a part of the city's history. We think the lady has found the perfect new home,
as she gazes out over the Reading Room.
NEW GIFT PROCEDURES
Enclosed for your information is a copy of the letter that will accompany all
thank you notes we send to individuals who donate gift books to the library.
PERSONNEL
NEW PERSONNEL - Interviews were held by the Civil Service Commission with the
assistance of two professional Librarians, Marcia Keller (SMCO Head of Acquistions )
and Jan Engel (Pacifica Library Head) , on August 8, 9, and 16, to fill the Li-
brary's professional librarian position. Thirty-three persons were placed on the
elegibility list. Mrs. Susan Reiterman has accepted the Library's offer to
fill the vacancy. Sue has been serving as Outreach Librarian for the Peninsula
Library System. Prior to that time she worked as a reference librarian for the
Redwood City Public Library. Sue begins work on September 16.
REVISED CETA PROPOSAL - The initial April Ceta Proposal was amended to include
numerous additional projects that Department Heads decided to undertake to make
effective use of the talents of the employees hired under CETA. The three CETA
employees are now fully involved with work in the Reference Department, Children 's
Department, Branch Library, and Technical Services.
EVALUATIONS OF PERSONNEL - A program for evaluating employees on their anniversary
date was begun this month retroactive to June and progressing through September.
After September, each department head will be sent the evaluation forms and data
at least 4 weeks in advance of the anniversary date of respective department
personnel .

N_ CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT
The Summer Reading Club party was held on August 24 at the Recreation Center.
About ninety children attended, and everyone enjoyed both Cantini the Magician
and the ice cream and cookies. Certificates were awarded to all the children who
completed the reading program.
Since that time the Children's Department has been preparing for fall activities.
Letters are being composed informing both Burlingame and Hillsborough schools of the
services available for their teachers and students. Already a number of teachers
have contacted us and dates have been made for class visits to the library and
for the librarian to visit the schools.
Our first special fall program will be a puppet show which will be held on
September 29th at 4:00 in the Community Room. Scripts are being written and
practice will begin this week. Pre-school story will begin the first week of Octo-
ber.
At the last board meeting Mr. DeMartini brought to our attention that the Larkspur -
Public
arkspurPublic Library had comic books. As a result of his inquiry, the Children's Librarian,
Mrs. Riordan-Leach, contacted Mr. Klibur.ne, the children's librarian at Larkspur and
received the following information: the buying and lending of comic books started
about a year ago. The cost is not budgeted but is taken from the fines. Comic books
vary in price usually from 35 cents to 50 cents, but some are 75 cents. Mr Kilburne
spends about $7.00 a week. There are between 400 and 500 comic books in the collec-
tion. The books have pockets and they are double-- stapled for longer usage. They
can be borrowed for two weeks, and fines are charged if they are overdue. The more
popular titles are Archie, Richie Rich, Bat Man and Spider Man. The library does
not purchase the more violent titles such as Sergeant Fury. Mr Kilburne was of the
opinion they were a circulation builder in themselves but did not necessarily lead
to a broadening of interest on the part of the borrower.
As a result of talking to Mr. Kilburne, the Children's Librarian would not recommend
adding this service to the Burlingame Public Library at this time. The mechanics of
preparing the books for circulation, the circulation process itself, and the sending
of overdue notices are all very time consuming. With the addition of service to
Hillsborough, we hesitate initiating any new services at this time. We have re-
ceived no requests for this service in Burlingame and would like to hold this for
consideration again at a later date.

SUBJECT: 1977--1978 Final Budget
I yould like to commend our City Manager, Charles Schwalm,
and Finance D-J_rector, David Milligan , for 'a job well done in
submitting a Preliminary Budget which demonstrated an effort
to keep ou-- City cost• requirements to a minimum.
1n spite of =heir efforts and those of, your chairman,
some factors 'Have contributed to the fact that this year' s
_.oudget will show that revenues are less than expenditures by
about $66 ,:1,00 ( . 60-6) . Emnloyee raises voted for last year and
this year added heavily to this problem. This was further
magnified by recent salary increases to Department Heads , City
Manager, City Attorney and Supervisory Personnel. Other contrib-
uting factors were the unexpected expenditures not anticipated
in the Preliminary Budget. (Refund of $20 , 000 sales tax because
of. court ruling on National Banks , $56 , 000 for land use study
consultants, $8, 000 ± on Police Dogs , Park Corporation Yard
$53, 700 , Library Maintenance of Schedule $7 , 700 , Police
• Communications $55, 000, $7 ,500 Fire Station Drivet•,ays. )
luring .the study of the Budget many items were brought to the
Council' s attention by your chairman , and Council agreed that
they be initiated or considered in the future : =
1. *Zero based budgeting should be initiated gradually,
and initial stages of a 3-year program be started by
staff in the next budget ( 78-79) .
2. 1 also recommended that all future expenditure's
(projects , etc. ) presented to Council between budgets
should spell out Iiow much it will cost, . and v,hcre the
project will derive its funds*. (Grants - out of I7cparl.n;e;it

Dear Donor:
Due to new Internal Revenue Service regulations , the Burlingame
Public Library will no longer be able to acknowledge your gift
of materials by setting a monetary value on your donation. We
do not have a professional book appraiser on our staff, which
means that in any legal dispute, our opinion of the value of your
gift would carry no weight.
Most appraisers charge for their services, and part of the reason
for that fee is the understanding that their opinion does have
value, and they will support their appraisal either in person or
in writing if any legal questions are raised.
Naturally, you are free to set any value you choose on the materials
you donate to the library, and we will continue to acknowledge receipt
of those materials in writing.
We appreciate your support and hope that this necessary change in our
policy will not deter you from giving books and other related materials
to the Burlingame Public Library. Over the years , many gift books have
been added to our collection, and many others have been sold at Friends
of the Library Booksales. These sales have enabled us to raise addi-
tional funds to purchase other needed materials.
If you have any questions regarding this change in our policy, please
contact me at the library.
Sincerely,
Patricia M. Bergsin
