LIBRARIAN'S REPORT: The Board was very impressed with the total of 19,000 registered patrons the Librarian reported in the month's statistics. Trustee Hechinger stated that this was a very impressive figure as the total population of Burlingame is approximately 27,000. A poster with the pictures of the Library Booth set up at "Art in the Park" on June 5th and 6th was brought to the attention of the Board. The pictures showed the library staff making paper as it was done 200 years ago. The booth was very successful and created a lot of interest in the library. OLD BUSINESS: Air Conditioning: The Librarian reported that another engineer's estimate must be obtained for the project, and that Mr. Al Kahl will be contacted regarding this matter. 1976-1977 Fiscal Year Budget: Library Lechich discussed the position of a full-time custodian/janitor included in the budget. This position will replace the contracted maintenance service that we now have without any considerable change in cost. The Board agreed that this position is definitely needed. NEW BUSINESS: None INTRODUCTION: Mrs. Abby Fredrickson, of the Boutique/Villager, introduced Mr. Roger Hawley, new owner and publisher of the Boutique and Villager. The Board welcomed Mr. Hawley to their meeting and to Burlingame. It was also mentioned that Mrs. Fredrickson would be leaving Burlingame in July. The Board conveyed their best wishes to her and her husband. ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 6:00 P.M. with the next meeting scheduled for July 20, 1976.

With the growth of the system, we have 5,081 P.L.S. patrons who use the library enough to warrant a registered number. This means, we not only have 1 ,589 Burlingame resident patrons, but 5,081 P.L.S. patrons or a total of 6,650. Thus we have 38% more library users than in June 1970. JANITORIAL SERVICE: Mr. Jim Kaufman, of Rancelli and Company, has replaced A-Day & Night Janitorial Service as of July 16, 1976. Mr. Kaufman is working a morning schedule beginning at 6 A.M. to approximately 12 Noon. His six-day work schedule will include clean- ing of the Branch on Mondays , Wednesdays, and Fridays. During this past week, he has made very significant and definite improvements in the overall appearance of our library. We hope the morning schedule will prove to save electricity and improve communications.
