LIBRARIAN'S REPORT
JANUARY 16, 1973
LIBRARY USE:
The circulation is continuing to increase at the Main Library in sufficient amounts
to allow for the gradual decrease at the Branch. We expected to experience a
decrease in the children 's circulation as the elementary school built up their
collections. However, this is offset somewhat by the many visits from the schools
to the library and the students ' use of the library as a back-stop for reference
materials.
We receive constant inquiries in regard to when and if we are going to refurbish
the Easton Branch. At present we are making a study on how this can be done at
relatively little expense. The report should be ready by the next Board meeting.
CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT:
Candy canes for the pre-schooler, the decorating of our Christmas tree and
storyhour for the schoolage children are the traditional Christmas activities
of the Children's Room in December. These activities held again were well
attended and enjoyed by many of our Burlingame children.
In addition during the month of December our policy of having the faculties of
the various schools visit our library for a tour and an orientation period
continued. Not only children's services are brought to their attention. The adult
services which might possibly be of individual interest are also explained. This
policy will be continued in the new year.
The community and its various agencies are the sources through which we contact
the children. It is hoped during the new year to expand our services by contacting
day-care centers, nursery schools, boy and girl scout leaders, and make each
more aware of what the library has to offer them and the children.
