LIBRARIAN'S REPORT

BUDGET.
We have received the budget preparation blanks and we will have the tentative
budget ready for the next board meeting.
BUILDING:
There were several leaks during the heavy storms in January. The major ones
were through the concrete walls on the south side of the 1959-60 stack
extension. We used Thompson Water Seal on the inside cracks add Clark 's
Permaseal on the outside cracks. This seemed to correct the difficulty for
the present. Col . Norberg furnished the Permaseal .
We added louvers to the bottoms of the doors of the storage closet in the
auditorium in order that the cold air would be picked up from the floor by
the cooler-heater. The upper louvers were closed off from the back.
None of the items previously mentioned at the meetings have been finished
despite our efforts to get them done.
CIRCULATION:
The circulation increased nine percent (9%) over that of January of last year.
The Main Library circulation was higher than any previous January. Over
29,948 people used the facilities, an average of 1, 151 per day. Patrons
asked 1,299 reference questions and those who did not come to the library
phoned in 544 questions.
REFERENCE DEPARTMENT:
Al Escoffier attended a Bay Area Young Adult Reviewers meeting at Millbrae
Public Library late in January. The discussion topic was paperbacks with
appeal to young adult readers.
A book review column is currently in the planning stages. It will be a weekly
feature in the Burlingame Villager. It is hoped that much of the staff will
participate.
CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT:
Three schools, Franklin, Washington, and McKinley held their faculty meetings
at the library during the month of January. The meeting began with a tour of
the library and informing the teachers of the services available to them as
individuals, as teachers and those services that would be of particular interest
to their students. A discussion followed which covered questions about the
library and suggestions from the faculty of how the library could better serve
the school community.
A program which consisted of reading games made by the fifth graders of Darnell
Williams at Washington School, was held at the library of Saturday, January 20th.
-2-
The games were made up from books the children had read--20 questions dealing
with facts about the story and 20 questions calling for the player to define
vocabulary words found in the book. Another reading game day will be held
at Easton on March 3rd. The playing of the games has resulted in the desire
of the children to read more because they have to read the books in order to
play the games.
It is hoped that we can have more programs, displays, and activities
displaying the creative ideas of the school children.
