ROLL CALL: Trustees Present: Trustee Cohendet, Trustee Hechinger, Trustee Lynes, Trustee Phelan Trustees Absent: Trustee DeMartini, excused, on vacation Also Present: Mrs. Patricia Bergsing, Assistant City Librarian BILLS: Warrants in-the amount of $10,036.97 and checks from the Special Fund totaling $119.28 were ordered paid on a motion by Trustee Lynes, seconded by Trustee Phelan and carried. MINUTES: The minutes of the meeting of May 21, 1974, were approved and ordered filed. LIBRARIAN'S REPORT: The Librarian's Report was read. The Board members were especially interested in the Summer Reading Program activities of the Children's Room. Trustee Lynes commented that the school visitations by Mrs. Dunn and Miss Riordan, to promote the program, were very successful. Trustee Lynes suggested, however, due to the hectic end-of-the-year schedule the school visitations might be made one week earlier. The Librarian stated that the suggestion would be brought to the attention of Mrs. Dunn and Miss Riordan for next year's program, but thought that going to the schools too far in advance would hurt the program's enrollment. CORRESPONDENCE: A thank-you card and a lovely rubber tree plant was received from the North Burlingame Women's Club to express their appreciation for the use of the California Room, where they have held their Board meetings for the past two years. OLD BUSINESS: Easton Drive Branch: The Librarian reported that under City Ordinance, the structural alterations must be put up for contractual bid. The architect's specifications have been submitted to the City Engineer, who is now doing the necessary work for the sub- mitting of bids. NEW BUSINESS: None ADJOURNMENT: As there was no further business, the meeting was adjourned on a motion by Trustee Cohendet, seconded by Trustee Lynes. The meeting adjourned at 8:20 P.M. with the next Board meeting scheduled for July 16, 1974. Res pectfu l ly,'ubtPi tted, George P ul Lechich Clerk of the Board LIBRARIAN'S REPORT July 16, 1974 The Branch almost held its own for the month of June while the Main activity did 3% better in circulation than last June. I am still impressed by how close the traffic counter at the Branch reflects the circulation. The traffic count for June 1973 was 6,730 -- circulation 5,383; this June it was 6,715 -- circulation 5,351 . Unfortunately, the month of June and July at the Main will be omitted from the traffic statistics as the wire leading to the mat was broken. The circulation desk, so long awaited has arrived and is installed. Part of the Audio Visual section is being rearranged and should be in order by the end of August. REFERENCE DEPARTMENT Mr. Escoffier will be in charge of the Reference Department from July 1st to August 6th, while Mr. Wickliffe is on vacation. Mrs. Molder took her CIN (Cooperative Information Network) Internship at the San Mateo County Health and Welfare Library in San Mateo on June 24th through June 26th. Mrs. Molder also attended a Law Workshop on June 1st and 8th. Other meetings attended by the Reference Department staff were: Peninsula Library Association Reference Libra- rians meeting on June 5th and the BARC Workshops on China held on June 19 & 20. There are two new staff members in the Reference Department . They are Mrs. Dorothy �. Morris, Library Assistant, who will be working part-time as the new PLS operator and Mrs. Dorothy Ezquerro, Library Assistant, who will be spending half her time in the Reference Department and the other half in the Cataloging Department. CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT The summer programs have begun and we have full enrollment in the pre-school and primer story hours, and about 200 children are participating in the reading club. The children have reported on their books by making mobiles, doing science experiments, making bag puppets and drawing pictures. All of these projects are on display in the Children 's Room.
