MINUTES OF THE MEETING
OF THE
BURLINGAME PUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD
APRIL 15, 1969
CALL TO ORDER:
A regular meting of the Burlingame Public Library Board was held on the above given
date. The meting was called to order at 7:35 P. M. by President Cohendet.
ROLL CALL:
Trustees Present: Trustee Cohendet, Trustee DeMartini, Trustee Hechinger
Trustees Absent: Trustee Lynes excused because of school meeting.
MINUTES:
The minutes of the meeting of March 18, 1969 were approved and adopted.
BILLS:
Bills in the amount of $3,490.19 were ordered paid on a motion by Trustee Hechinger,
seconded by Trustee De Martini and carried unanimously.
LIBRARIAN'S REPORT:
The Librarian's Report was read and ordered filed.
Trustee Hechinger inquired what the ratio of fiction to non-fiction was in the library
and was informed by the Librarian that it was about 10 to 1. The Librarian asked that
a correction be made in the Librarian's Report under "Book Stock," third paragraph,
to read " . . . .we are still only fifth in circulation costs . .
•" There were some
favorable comments on the George Ward puppet show mentioned in the Children's Room
report, and President Cohendet suggested that all people mentioned in the report be
identified by their title or occupation. Trustee Hechinger asked for more information
on the exact role of the library on the recent ACL program, "Black is Relevant."
OLD BUSINESS:
San Mateo Library Cooperative Project: The Librarian read a letter from Redwood City
Librarian Karl Vollmayer regarding the resubmission of application for a library system
in San Mateo County. He stated that there seemed to be enough agreement in the county
to take the next step in planning; that there would be a meeting Wednesday, April 23
at 9:00 A. M. at the Community Activities Building in Redwood City, for the city
managers, city librarians, board members, County Librarian, and the Assistant County
Manager. The Librarian stated that City Manager Charles Schwalm would attend, and invited
any of the Trustees who were able to attend also.
Library Survey Report: The Librarian informed the Board that the joint meeting with
the City Council on this subject would be some time in May, but that the exact date
was not yet set.
Budget: The Board was told that the Council had not yet passed the budget, and the
Trustees were furnished copies of our final draft. There were some questions on the
different classifications of Librarians.
General: Trustee Hechinger asked about our collection of sheet music and was informed
by the Librarian that our previous collection had been stolen, in part, piece by piece.
The Librarian mentioned the removal of the stereo tapes from the front desk to a
separate cabinet, and the subsequent better circulation. He also brought out the idea
that it might be well to have cassette type tapes.
There was more discussion on the traffic statistics, and the idea was advanced that
possibly patrons were checking out heavier, non-fiction selections which take more
time and might account for the drop in circulation. The Board discussed the statistics
sheet on various comparable libraries on the Peninsula which was compiled by the
Librarian from the State Report. Chairman Cohendet asked for an explanation of the
difference in "Hours Worked" and "Actual Hours Worked." The Librarian told her that
"Hours Worked" referred to employee work week, and "Actual Hours Worked" to the hours
per week the library remained open.
There was a question as to whcn the Council would hold its budget study session, but
the Librarian did not know exactly when that would be .
Trustee De Martini mentioned that new terms for some Board members are coming up this year
in June, and it was found that the terms of both Lynes and De Martini would be up for
renewal.
AOJOURNMENTr
On a motion by Trustee De Martini seconded by Trustee Hechinger and passed unanimously,
the meeting adjourned at 8:15 P. M.
Respectfully submitted,
