MINUTES OF THE MEETING
OF THE
BURLINGAME PUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD
JULY 16, 1970
CALL TO ORDER:
A regular meeting of the Burlingame Public Library Board was held on the above given
date. The meeting was called to order at 7:30 by Chairman Cohendet.
ROLL CALL:
Trustees Present: Trustee Cohendet, Trustee Lynes, Trustee De Martini, Trustee Phelan
Trustees Absent: Trustee Hechinger, excused
MINUTES:
The minutes of the meeting of June 16, 1970 were approved as corrected in the second
sentence under "Friends of the Library" 'she spoke on the workshop which Mrs. Bergsing
attended in San Francisco. '
BILLS:
Bills in the amount of $8,904.56 were ordered paid on a motion by Trustee De Martini
seconded by Trustee Phelan and carried.
LIBRARIAN'S REPORT:
The Librarian's report was read and ordered filed.
OLD BUSINESS:
Chairman Cohendet stated that, as Col. Norberg was present, the building would be the
next subject on the agenda. Col. Norberg explained the plans as they had been modified
and submitted them to the Library Board for their approval. Several questions were
asked by those present concerning the extent of the carpeting, exits, and type of
drinking fountain to be provided by the Women's Club of Burlingame. On a motion by
Trustee De Martini seconded by Trustee Lynes, the Board expressed its approval of the
plans and recommended them to the City Council for final action. Motion carried.
San Mateo Libraries Cooperative Project: The Librarian stated that the Joint Exercise
of Power Agreement had been approved by the City Council and that it was at present
Circulating around the various cities, and that the system would probably be in operation
by the first of September.
Steinbeck Property: The Librarian stated that as far as he knew no action had taken
place on the Steinbeck property, but it had been on one study session agenda and
would probably be on another. It was his understanding that the present price is not
too much greater than the lot and the small section between it and the Donnelly Avenue
parking lot, which, he believes, came to a total of about $60,000. The Board urged the
Librarian to contact whoever might follow through and make a determination of whether
or not the Council wished to go further with this.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned on a motion by Trustee De Martini
seconded by Trustee Phelan, at 8:30 P. M.
Respectfully submitted,
Georg� Paul Lechich
Clerk of the Board
LIBRARIAN'S REPORT
AUGUST 18, 1970
CIRCULATION AND TRAFFIC :
The small increase in circulation over July of last year (1/2%) is again
accompanied by an increase in the traffic count. The increase in circulation
is again,as it was last month, in the adult classifications; and probably
continues to reflect a trend similar to that of the depression of the thirties.
SAN MATEO LIBRARIES COOPERATIVE PROJECT:
Two meetings of the governing board of the system resulted in setting the date
for its activation, namely, October 1, 1970. Most of the problems involving
circulation to and return of books by patrons of other system members have
been solved, and financing has been assured to cover costs. The main problem
has been in the determination of the type of intercommunication device to use.
It seems at the moment that the microwave type as used by the police depart-
ments will be the best choice, as this will leave us with an excellent system
when the establishment grant funds have been exhausted. The cost will then
be only about a tenth of the Telephone Company TWX system, and could easily
be carried by the system.
STEINBECK PROPERTY:
The City Council has requested an appraisal of the Steinbeck property, and this
should be in soon. At that time the Council will determine their course of
action.
CHILDREN' S ROAM:
July was a month almost totally spent listening to book reports and guiding th
children in their search for the clues of the Mysterious Summer.
George Ward, Mary Wilson, and Al Escoffier from Easton Branch presented a
series of puppet shows for the children. In order that the time and effort
spent making and puppets and preparing the shows would be used to the fullest,
arrangements were made with the San Mateo Public Library to perform for
their children. In return, the concluding puppet show of our series was
given by Miss Schiffer and Mrs. Gorman of the San Mateo Public Library.
The response to the shows was such that a fall series will be held.
