IV. Correspondence and Information
A. Statistics:
April 2014/2015-Brad mentioned some folks haven't realized that the
Main Library has reopened. It will be a gradual return to patronage.
Stats for new study rooms will be available next month. Trustee
�. Rosenthal suggested that down the road the study rooms should be
publicized in the city enews
Trustee Corcoran asked what the guidelines are for use of the study
rooms and reservations. Brad mentioned that these guidelines are "in
beta." Right now reservations are done through library admin. Looking
toward the future,the librarians will look into some kind of online
registration system.
B. Discussion of marketing efforts:
Trustee Nagler raised his concern that the sign announcing the
reopening outside the Main Library seems a little funky. He suggested
having a brighter banner with more vibrant colors.Trustee Rosenthal
suggested it say"Come check us out! Open and renovated!"
Trustee Nagler noted the Burlingame realtor roundtable will make an
announcement about how BLF picks up used books and will also
mention the library reopening and renovation. He also suggested that
Brad do a guest column for the SM Daily Journal about the reopening of
the library.

for summer reading.

One Community. The adult program will have as a requirement to
participate in several library programs about the book.June 6th is the
kick-off date.
The Scan it PS 80 photo scanner will soon be up and running. It will be
able to scan VHS tapes as well.

state for the W.H.E.E.L.S. library bike.

employee.A work around is in place.
B. Foundation Report
The Book and Author Luncheon was a huge success. Final figures for
the event will be available at the next-meeting.
VL Unfinished Business
A. Our Library Our Future
Signage is in process and there is still work to do on the donor wall.
We have most plaque verbage in place.
Cafe floor work will be done next week. It will be smelly so a lot of the
work will be done at night so as not to disturb employees and
patrons.We are anticipating an August opening.
Jeannine is still finalizing the budget for the project.Trustees will be
paying for overage.
The CD units that have been,ordered do not hold the library's whole
collection and we will need 3 more CD units. Each unit costs $7,000.
Brad will get us firmer numbers on the total budget as soon as
possible.
L
B. Joint commission meeting June 15.
�.. Trustee Donaldson will send talking points to trustees Nagler and
Rosenthal. Trustees Donaldson, Nagler and Rosenthal will attend the
meeting.
VIII. New Business
A. Patron complaints
Trustee Altmann got a phone call from an angry patron because
sprinklers at the library were spraying water on the sidewalk. Brad
explained that the City has gone to 2-day watering at night protocol.
Trustee Altmann asked what procedure the library has for patrons
registering complaints. Brad will look into making sure librarians are
aware of how to get a message to the board and be aware of agenda
and board meetings.
Brad mentioned that most comments have been positive about the
renovation. Trustee Donaldson asked that librarians be aware that
patrons are welcome at our meetings. Brad said our new website will
also have a place for comments. Trustee Nagler reiterated his request
for a survey of patrons. Brad said he is considering conducting a
strategic planning process and the survey would be rolled into that.

today as she will be out of town for the next meeting. She expressed
