The meeting was called to order at 7:15 P. M. by Chairman Cohendet. ROLL CALL: Trustees Present: Chairman Cohendet, Trustee Hechinger, Trustee Amstrup, Trustee Lynas, Trustee De Martini Trustees Absent: None MINUTES: The minutes of the meeting of September 17, 1966 were approved and adopted. BILLS: Bills in the amount of $2,953.15 were ordered paid on a motion by Trustee DeMartini, seconded by Trustee Amstrup and carried unanimously. LIBRARIAN'S REPORT: The Librarian's report was read and ordered filed. There was mention of the purchase of the new copier, which the Librarian stated had arrived. Trustee Hechinger asked for information on the proposed cash register for the circulation desk, and the Librarian said that a Remington had been ordered and that it would give a receipt. He made mention of the additional time it would take for the staff to operate the register, and the fact that the only other library which has one is San Francisco Public. COMMUNICATIONS: There were no communications. OLD BUSINESS: San Francisco Cooperative Reference Project: - The Librarian informed the Board that he would be attending a meeting on this project in San Francisco on the afternoon of October 9. All materials on this project would be gathered and correlated to be sent in to the State the first of the month for their approval. Chairman Cohendet queried the Librarian as to when we might expect to have an answer, and he stated it would take at least a couple of months. Special Fund: - The Librarian stated that the City Clerk was asked to inform the City Auditor that th,� Board desired his recommendation in writing as to the Special Fund. However, we have not yet received any communication from the Auditor, and the Board decided to wait on this subject until we have heard from him. Non-Resident School Library Cards: The Board was informed by the Librarian that he had set up a meeting with Mrs. Coleman to discuss this matter, but that she was unable to meet with him. However, she informed him by phone that San Mateo Library charged one dollar for an individual card for the time the school visited the library. Trustee Lynes mentioned that one solution would be for each school to have about ten cards, but that he had talked this over with the public school librarian, Mrs. Gregor, and in view of the fact that there is a very real interest in the school libraries and they are going to be considerably improved with professional librarians in charge, the individual card program would not be necessary. He stated that he would not favor this card program particularly for the intermediate schools because of the unreliability of that particular age group. The Librarian said that we probably would continue the program of one card to a school, but that he would like to get more information from Mrs. Coleman. He said that the non-resident fees in San Mateo are the same as ours. NEW BUSINESS: Holt Report: Trustee DeMartini asked how many copies of this report were furnished by Holt and the Librarian replied that Holt's contract specifies that he furnish only one typed master from which we could make copies. The Librarian mentioned that the cost of making the necessary copies would run around $260.00. He informed the Board that he and his staff had found quite a few discrepancies in this report, that these would be presented in the form of an addendum to the report at the time the report was submitted to the Board for study; and that the same procedure would be followed for the submission of the report to the City Council. There was a general discussion of how the matter of corrections should be handled with Mr. Holt, and the opinion was expressed that there should be a meeting with him so that these changes could be carried out. ADJOURNMENT: Trustee Lynes moved that the meeting be adjourned. It was seconded by Trustee De Martini and passed. Meeting adjourned at 8:00 P. M. Respectfully submitted, G. P. Lechich Clerk of the Board LI9RARIANIS REPORT NOVEMBER 19, 13603 MEETINGS ATTENDED: The Librarian attended the meetings on the Cooperative Project with San Francisco Public, one meeting with the State Library Board in Sacramento to consider the application for a local library system, and the City Council meetings. He also attended the California Library Association Convention in San Diego, including the preconference workshop on interior design and methods in libraries. ATTENDANCE AAD CIRCULATION: It is interesting to note that the circulation and the foot traffic increase about the sari amount. COPY MACHINE: With the addition of another copying machine the congestion has been reduced and there is not as much waiting. CHANGES Int BOOK LOCATION: The Californian collection from behind the circulation desk has been moved to the story hour' room and the new book area has been extended to these shelves. This will matte enough space to accommodate the current new acquisitions for about a year.. It will also,be more conducive to their use by the public. As of late, due to the number of new titles published and purchased, they (the titles) have only been on the new shelves from 3 to 6 months, which is not sufficient. With some rearrangement it will be possible to make this a much better browsing area. CHILDREN'S ROOM: We have just completed putting up our display of Book Week posters through the years. We will hold our November School Age Story Hour on Thursday of this week. It seems that we have been extremely busy with school visits, both in the library and in the schools. Teachers are continuing to use our service of collections for the classroom. For the pre-school Halloween story hour, the children c&m in costumes. At the Branch, one of the mothers contributed cookies for the occasion. It should be mentioned that Mr. Wickliffe has been involved in class visits also. He visited the Burlingame Intermediate's seventh and eighth grades, informing the students of available reference tools at the, library, while the children's librarian introduced some High School fiction. Mr. Wickliffe also has ,interested seventh grade students in the library.
