IV. Correspondence and Information
A. Statistics
Barry prepared excel spreadsheets representing a comparison of Circulation Key
Indicators in the specific departments for fiscal years 2010/2011-2011/2012-and
2012-2013.
• Children's circulation showed continued growth with a percentage
increase of 19.54% at the end of fiscal year 2012-2013.
• Comparing just the 2011-2012/2012-2013 indicators, the percentage
increase in the Children's department is 8.00%.
• Trustee Towle noted that the indicators reflected a huge increase in new
Non-fiction of 12.70% from fiscal year 2011-2012 to 2012-2013. Old
non-fiction reflected a decrease in circulation of 3.00% for the same time
period.
• .All A/V and new fiction showed circulation increases.
• New and old mysteries showed deceases in circulation.
Pat Harding felt that being able to purchase more children's materials plus the
population increase of elementary school children and more young families moving
into the Easton neighborhood has contributed to the improvement of circulation
statistics. Included as one of the main factors in increasing the circulation '
statistics is the 193 class visits to the schools that the Children's Librarian, Kathy
Von Mayrhauser; made to promote the summer reading program.
B. Family Fun Night
Pat advised the Trustees that a patron might attend the meeting because he was
dissatisfied with the procedure of handing out tickets for the recent Family Fun
Night. A parent did not get to the library in time to obtain a ticket for his child felt
the method of distributing the tickets was unfair.
1. Tickets are handed out the Saturday before the Tuesday event after the
library opens at 10:00AM. Tickets have been selling out in 15 - 30 minutes.
A family may have up to 6 free tickets. The Foundation pays for the events
which cost approximately $450 each.
2. The Trustees discussed the issue and made some suggestions.
• Perhaps charge for tickets to alleviate immediate sell out. Trustee
Rosenthal emphasized that library programs should be free events.

• Library and Parks and Recreation could form a partnership. There is
more space at the Recreation Center. Pat noted that staff wants
patrons to come to library for the programs as this is an opportunity
for them to check out materials.
• Trustee Griffith brought up the idea that the Trustees offer to fund
one of the Family Fun Nights.
• One event could be held at Easton.
• Taking into consideration that all the Family Fun events were sold
out immediately, Trustee Corcoran asked Pat to check with the
Children's staff about the possibility of adding one extra event to the
season. If staff is in agreement, a request for funding could be
submitted at the August 20th Trustee meeting.
• Summer Reading concludes on July 31St. Changes for Summer
Reading can be discussed in the spring when actual plans for
Summer Reading 2014 are being made.
• Trustee Corcoran suggested a Summer Reading survey handed out at
the last Summer Reading event could be a resource for planning next
year's program.
V. From the Floor
No one from the public attended.
V1. Reports
A City Librarian's Report Highlights
1. Personnel
Kimberly Day will officially join the staff as a full time Children's Librarian on
July 29th. Kimberly has been working as an on-call Librarian for the past year.
Jan Laurie will be retiring in October of this year after 40 years of service. Pat
will prepare a staff report requesting City Council to approve a new 40 hour
position for the Technical Service Department to replace the 30 hour position
held by Jan Laurie. Her goal is to hire a person who is strong in IT and can serve
as a trouble shooter for technical issues. Jan's duties will be performed by
hourly staff in technical services.
2. Capital Campaign- Our Library, Our Future
Members of the campaign committee met on July 8th. Agenda items discussed
were our top prospects, recap of meeting with a potential donor, approval of the,
brochure as part of our campaign materials and discussion of the website which
should go live in July or August. The next meeting is scheduled for August 26th.
3. Project Management Task Force
Pat appointed a task force of staff members who will be working within the
structure of the new project for the purpose of having them come up with ideas
on how they foresee-the service model in 10 years with regard to flexibility,
design, technical services etc. Brad McCulley, John Piche, Kelly Mackewicz, Patty
Flynn, Geralyn O'Brien and Ray DeLara comprise the task force committee. Part
of their assignment is to visit new libraries and/or remodeled libraries.
4. Staffing For Our Library, Our Future
The Trustees discussed the fact that with the addition of group study rooms,
Tech-Media Lab, Business and Career Center plus Adult Non-Fiction there will be
more activity on the lower level and inquired as to whether staffing will be
increased. Management is working on a flexible staffing plan so wherever the
action is, supervision will be in place.
Library Board of Trustee Minutes July 16,2013 2
B. Foundation Report
The new Foundation website will be launched soon and the Summer Newsletter will
be sent out in early August. Pat introduced a book entitled "Mother Daughter Me
written by Katie Hafner as a possibility for the next Book and Author Luncheon.
Trustee Corcoran is acquainted with Katie and agreed to contact her and inquire as
to whether she would participate in the Book and Author event.
VII. Unfinished Business
A. Community Recognition Policy
Pat sent the policy to Kathleen Kane, City Attorney for her review.
B. Library Behavior Policy
Pat advised the Trustees that management and staff were comfortable with the policy
and requested that the policy be approved. The Trustees passed the motion of Trustee
Corcoran to accept the.Behavior Policy as it currently stands. M/S/C (Corcoran/Towle)
C. Written Warning For Disruptive Patrons
The Trustees discussed the possibility of giving a written warning, as well as the Library
Behavior Policy, to a patron who has been disruptive for a second time. Trustee Griffith
felt that this action might help prevent a series of events that eventually leads to a
public Hearing with the intent to bar the patron in question from the Library for a
specific period of time., The purpose of the warning would also give the staff the feeling
that they have back up and perhaps prevent verbal abuse to employees. The Trustees
recommended that the staff look into having a written warning policy.
VIII. Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned at 6:3OPM. The.next meeting of the Library Board of
Trustees will be held August 20, 2013, in the Library Conference Room. Trustee
Griffith will not be able to attend the meeting.

2. May 21,2013 -On this date while Barry Mills, Pat Harding and Linda Santo were
attempting to arouse a female patron who appeared to have lost consciousness, Mr.
Greggans made derogatory comments and used profanity towards staff.Upon being told
that he had to leave the Library,he began to shout repetitively that"we had better not
show up at his house and assault him." Pat advised Mr. Greggans that if he did not cease
his disruptive behavior,she would call the police. Mr.Greggans continued shouting and
gesticulating as he left the Library.
3. June 10,2013 -After the May 21St episode,staff was advised by Linda Santo,that if Mr.
Greggans came into the Library,he was to be informed that he was not permitted to use
the Library. Mr.Greggans entered the Library on June 10th and requested a day pass for
the computer. Amy Gettle and Sue Reiterman informed him that he would not be able to
use the Library because of the May 21St incident. Mr.Greggans immediately became
agitated and began yelling that"he wanted this in writing". As soon as Sue began to call
the police,he exited the Library still yelling. Sue noted in her report that she found Mr.
Greggans'behavior threatening.
B. Board Has Authority to Suspend Library Privileges
1. Pat Harding reviewed the California Education Code section 18960 which states that
"a Library has the authority to establish rules"and to "exclude from privileges" of the
Library,those person who violate rules.
2. Burlingame Municipal Code,Chapter 3.44
The Library Board of Trustees has the authority to establish rules and this Board has
adopted rules for patrons to observe in the use of the Library. These rules prohibit the
use of the Library for non-Library-related activities and also prohibit any activity which
�.. unreasonably interferes with other patrons'use of the Library. Ms. Harding stressed the
fact that patrons have the right to use the library without fear of being made to feel
uncomfortable or being threatened. Specifically referenced from the 2009 "Role of
Library Trustees"is the statement that the Library Board of Trustees has the"power to
bar persons whose continued inappropriate behavior necessitates action".
C. Conclusion of City Librarian's Presentation
Pat Harding stated that from her observations and those of the Library staff,Mr.Greggans'
behavior was becoming increasingly more disruptive and threatening to patrons and
Library staff. Pat requested that the Library Board of Trustees take the following steps to
ban Mr.Greggans from the Library:
1. Suspend Mr.Greggans'library privileges including all access to Library buildings
and grounds from today's date,July 3, 2013 through July 3, 2014.
2. Suspension of access to the Library buildings and grounds would include both
inside and outside the Burlingame Public Library. Specifically, outside of the
Library would include all Library grounds and would extend to the public
sidewalk.
3. Pat further requested that the suspension and banning of Mr.Greggans be
effective immediately.
D. Board of Trustees'Questions to the City Librarian,Pat Harding
1. Question from Trustee Rosenthal: Was there any physical contact with
staff during the June 10, 2013 incident?
Answer: No
2
2. Question from Trustee Griffith: Were there any other-incidents that were
not formally recorded or included in the Hearing materials?
Answer: There were other incidents where the same type of behavior was exhibited. On
December 1, 2008,staff was informed by a patron that he witnessed an unidentified man
kicking the outside garbage can into a parked SUV. Patron reported incident to police
dispatcher. Person who kicked the can came in and said a garbage can was in the street. Officer
Terada arrived and requested that staff call them if the person who kicked the can came into the
Library again as they wanted to speak with him. After looking at mug shots,staff was able to
identify that Mr.Greggans was the person in question.
Question from Trustee Griffith: Is Mr.Greggans using the computer?
Answer: Yes
E. Presentation byRobert Greggans
1. Garbage Can Incident- Mr.Greggans began his testimony by explaining his version of the
garbage can-incident. Mr.Greggans stated that he was walking in front of the Library and was
very upset and frustrated. He noticed that his shoe was untied and put his foot on the garbage
can to tie it and the can tipped over and fell against the car.
2. Incident of May 21, 2013 -Mr.Greggans was sitting at the computer when he noticed that 3
staff members were in the process of aiding a drunken woman in the computer station behind
him. He started to become frustrated. He didn't want to get involved. At this point, Mr.
Greggans interjected a comment about the lady from the shelter and he didn't want to be
involved with her. He returned to the incident of May 21st,and emphasized that he was aware
that he shouldn't get involved but he was becoming more and more agitated and so he spoke up.
Mr.Greggans said he spoke to the staff person at the front desk and tried to explain why he got
upset.
F. Board of Trustees'Questions to Mr.Greggans
1. Question From Trustee Corcoran: "Mr. Greggans when you feel angry or confused how do
you deal with it?"
Answer: Mr. Greggans referred to getting lunch and wanting to help her and then said he went
with a friend to get something to eat. He continued by saying he had to go back to where he
lived and then talked about how to draw a picture and that he had trouble calming down. His
last comment referred to the May 21st incident. He again said he tried to explain to the person
at the desk that he didn't mean to get involved.
There were no further questions from the Library Trustees to Mr. Greggans
V. Board Discussion of Request to Suspend Mr.Greggans'Library Privileges
A.-Trustee Griffith: Trustee Griffith expressed her concern that.there was more than one incident of.
Mr.Greggans'inappropriate behavior that put patrons and staff at risk. The fact that Mr.Greggans'
actions toward a female patron caused her to leave the library because she was afraid is a serious
matter.
B. Trustee Towel: Trustee Towle found it positive that in all the incidents Mr.Greggans did not
display any physical harm to staff or patrons. Trustee Towle felt that taking Mr.Greggans' Library
privileges away for a year provided an opportunity for a time out in which Mr.Greggans'could get
some assistance in finding ways to control his behavior. Hopefully in a year he could return to the
Library on a regular basis.
C. President Rosenthal: President Rosenthal expressed her appreciation to Mr. Greggans for
coming to the Hearing. Lisa advised Mr.Greggans that while the Trustees understood his
psychological condition,the Library does have rules and regulations for the express purpose
of providing patrons with a safe and friendly environment in which they can take advantage
of library services. Lisa further explained to Mr. Greggans that the Trustees not only have
to consider his rights but they have to consider the rights of all patrons. That is their job.

VI. Decision of the Library Board of Trustees
The Trustees unanimously approved the motion of Trustee Griffith that in consideration of the
evidence of Mr.Greggans threatening and inappropriate behavior in the Library,he,should be
banned from the Burlingame Public Library and its surrounding property for one year
beginning July 3, 2013 to July 3, 2014. The Board expressed the hope that Mr.Greggans would be
able to take advantage of this time to get the personal issues in his life under control. M/S/C
(Grifffth/Towle)
VII. Concluding Comments to Mr.Greggans
Following the Board of Trustees decision to ban Mr.Greggans from the Library for one year,
President Rosenthal directly addressed Mr.Greggans with a brief explanation of how the
Trustees'action will affect him.

City Librarian Report to Trustees
�. September 17, 2013
Personnel—Four library staff are being honored with Burlingame City service awards this
year: Jan Laurie—40 years, Maribeth Farcich —25 years, Sidney Poland—25 years, and Barry
Mills—20 years. The service awards will be presented at a luncheon on September 17, 2013 at
II Fornaio.
The Circulation staff welcomes a new part-time LA, Guadalupe Madrigal. Guadalupe works at
the Foster City and Belmont libraries and is attending Notre Dame de Namur University.
Jan Laurie, a Library Assistant in Technical Services and Children's is retiring October 1, 2013.
Jan has worked at BPL for 40 years, beginning her career as a Page in 1973. Her duties in
Technical Services have included mending books, processing, and copy cataloging. In the last
few years Jan has brought her guitar and singing skills to the Tuesday morning story time at
Main and the Wednesday Bedtime Story Time at Easton. Patrons and staff will miss her. The
staff is having a tea for Jan to celebrate her retirement.
Boopsie Mobile App—Trying to place a hold or look up how many books you have a checked
out and wished there was an app for that? Well there is. All of the libraries in San Mateo
County,the Peninsula Library System, have our own app. The application is ready on Amazon,
iTunes, and Android store. Search for PLS or PLS Library for the app. On an iPhone go to My
Account put in your library card # under Account Name and your pin #and you are ready to go.
Living History Project—You may have noticed the new touchscreens for the Living History
Project in the library. This project has been a year in the making and made possible by project
leader Brad McCulley and funding from 2 grants—the
California State Library Eureka Project and the Pacific Library
Partnership Innovation Grant. There are currently 2 touch
b"'d screens—one on the main level by the front door and one
,i— near the elevator. There is still some fine tuning to
do and we will continue to add more stories. We will also add
more screens throughout the library when we do the Our
Library Our Future project. A number of staff helped with the final product including Jason Yap,
Maryam Refahi, Raina Tuakoi,Jeff Mikulik, Ray Delara, Monica Castillo,John Piche, Facilities
Fred, Jeannine Culligan, and Linda Santo. Sandy Towle has also been involved with the project
as well as a number of library volunteers that put in many helpful hours as well.
