The traffic at the main library increased from�ovember, 1971, totaling 23,228,
to 23,461 in November, 1972--an increase of J,2 3 or 22%. These increases
indicate that many more people are finding the library a more pleasant place to
browse and the Reference Department more conducive.
CONVENTION:
The Librarian, Assistant Librarian, and Audio-Visual Librarian attended the
CLA convention, as well as Trustee Genevieve Phelan and Trustee Edith Cohendet.
Hopefully some of our mechanical problems with the charging machines were 4
settled as the Librarian had a long discussion with the engineer from Bro-Dart.
The meetings of primary interest to Mrs. Bergsing at CLA were those dealing with
networks and systems. On Thursday, she attended the Congress of Library Systems,
as well as the opening general session of the convention, which included an
address on networks by the Associate U.S. Commissioner of Education. Friday, there
were morning and afternoon programs on networks, how they operate, how they are
financed and what legislation is needed to organize and fund them properly.
As always, the exhibits were interesting and informative.
Mr. Escoffier attended the joint luncheon of the Friends of California Libraries and
California Institute of Librarians. The Bay Area Social Responsibilities Round
Table (of the American Library Association) held a panel discussion on what the
SRRT does. Topics covered were correctional institutions, Bay Area Business
Librarians, service to children, etc. Saturday began with a meeting on mobile units
for libraries, including a tour of the 8-10 mobile units on display. Author
Michael Crichton spoke at the CASL Luncheon and gave real insight into the _.
processes an author goes through to create. The rest of the afternoon was devoted
to the Intellectual Freedom Committee' s speaker, Lillian Gerhardt, Editor-in-Chief
of School Library Journal . This was the highlight of the conference for Mr. Escoffier.
The discussion centered on library access for children and young adults, as well
as the development of the novel for these age groups. On Sunday, the Young Adult
discussion group, headed by Lillian Gerhardt and Gina Minudri covered the uses of
audio visual materials and programming with this age group,
