LIBRARIAN 'S REPORT
June 18, 1974
The circulation is essentially the same this year for the month of May as it was last
year. The book circulation decreased but the non-book circulation increased about 10%.
The Reference Department had 202 more questions than in May 1973, a 12°, increase. The
Audio Visual use increased 109 itmes or 206%. If this seems fantastic, it isn 't . It
is simply because there was so little use a year ago. However, this is steady growth
and seems to be increasing as people find out that the library has listening equipment,
etc.
We now have 18,223 registered patrons as against 17,823 in May 1973. This is a gain
of 400 or 2.2%. However, the PLS patrons who use our library have risen from 1,866 to
2,904 or 1,036 more than May 1973, a 55% increase. The results of our patron survey,
especially in regards to shopping will be very interesting and hopefully will help
justify this increased non-resident use.
REFERENCE DEPARTMENT:
Mrs. Molder gave a book talk to the Brandeis University Auxiliary this month, along with
attending the video-cassette demonstration at the Foster City Branch Library and partici-
pated as a member of a discussion group sponsored by the Volunteer Bureau dealing with
treatment of mentally disturbed and disoriented people in public-service agencies. She
also attended two of the three scheduled CIN workshop sessions on legal materials.
Mr. Escoffier attended the CIN workshop on business materials and another workshop on
literature in the field of medicine. He also attended a BAYA meeting, Inforama meetings,
and organized the library booth at the Art in the Park. He spent three days on his CIN
internship at San Mateo Public Library.
Mr. Wickliffe attended the PLS reference librarians ' monthly meeting at the San Mateo
Public Library, visited the Foster City Branch Library for the video-cassette demonstra-
tion, attended the CIN meeting in Palo Alto on CIN prospects and freedom of information,
and spent three days ' internship at the library of the American Institutes of Research
in Palo Alto.
During the month, Claudia Argyris, a staff member of the San Mateo County Library, worked
and examined our facilities and procedures on her CIN internship.
YOUNG ADULT DIVISION:
Mr. Escoffier attended the bi-monthly meeting of the Bay Area Young Adult Reviewers at the
Millbrae Library on May 28th. The program topic was "Religion and Young Adults" and fea-
tured several representatives from Alameda County "Young Life" groups.
CHILDREN 'S DEPARTMENT:
May was the month for finalizing plans for our summer programs. Thisseason's activities
include the Summer Reading Club, Pre-School Story Hour, Bedtime Story Hour and Primer
Crowd. This year, the Summer Reading Club is entitled, "Puzzle It Out". The children
will receive a piece to a picture/puzzle each time they complete a book and report . A
prize will be given to the reader who completes the puzzle and correctly guesses the title
of the book from which it came. On August 20th, a party will be held at the Burlingame
Recreation Center for those who complete the program. As in the past, the Burlingame
Lions Club is again sponsoring the program in total . Mrs. Dunn and Miss Riordan have
visited the schools to promote theprogram. To kick-off our summer library activities,
puppet shows will be performed at the Main and Branch libraries.
