Vera has many years in the Technical Services Department, heading up the cataloging functions (and anything else that came her way) with great skill and with the highest degree of professionalism. Vera will be returning to the library on a part-time basis to once again resume her cataloging duties. Millennium Project-I have met with all City Council members in the last several weeks to discuss the project. The response has been very positive about the project and the planning process. Council members offered several suggestions and discussed how it could be financed. At this point the $30,000 for the project planning has been spent. Wayne has said that he would continue to help and is willing to make a presentation to the full Council at.a Council Meeting. At my meeting with Jim-Nantell on Thursday,January 12 we talked about next steps. He suggested closing the loop with the stake holders who attended the workshop last January and then making a formal Council presentation. RFID-Project is going very well! The self-check seems to be very intuitive and patrons are using the new system without any trouble. We have added the ability to pay by swiping a credit or debit card to each self-check unit. Approximately 80% of check-outs are done using the self-check machines. California State Library-As you probably know, the Governor announced that the "budget trigger," (AB121,.:Statutes of 2011) mechanism will be implemented on January 1, 2012 for "Tier 1" and a portion of the "Tier 2" budget items. This will result in a reduction of$15,8.66,000 to the State Library budget for local assistance. Burlingame received $119,852.96 in state money in FY 2010-11 - $107,185.96 from Transaction Based Reimbursements (TBR) and $12,667 from the Public Library Fund (PLF). With the implementation of the Trigger Bill we will not receive TBR or PLF monies in this fiscal year. Our current FY budget shows $100,000 budgeted and that we have received $61,716.86 in payments. These payments are actually for the previous.FY. The state's payments are always behind. Overdrive a-books—Statistics for the'e-book and e-audiobook collection continue to increase. Overdrive is a joint project with the Peninsula Library System (PLS). PLS purchased a $50,000 start-up collection in July 2011. San Mateo County Libraries has added$90,000 to purchase additional titles and copies. Circulation has more than doubled since July 2011. The current budget is inadequate for the use the collection is receiving. PLS is reviewing use and holds and individual libraries are considering adding additional funds to increase the size of the collection. 1 48o Primrose Road-Burlingame-California 940ro-4o83 Phone(650)558-7474•Fax(650)342-6295'www.burlingame.org/library Burlingame Library Foundation—The 2011 Children's Holiday Tea on December 4th was very successful.
