w - NEW PROGRAMS TO BE ADDED IN EXISTING FACILITY
As mentioned earlier in this report, future ‘hew” Children’s programming
must come to a halt until additional space is available.
Additional personnel requested:
Library Assistant 1977-78
*************
A realistic evaluation of the library budget, plus an equally realistic
review of the day to day operations of the library, would show the impos-
sibility of constructing =building from library funds alone. The librar
budget could take care of proposed plans and perhaps even land acquisition;
however, other monies would be needed for any construction project --
Children’s Library or Branches. The new Chula Vista Library was funded
completely from revenue sharing. A third of our present building was paid
for by a Federal Library Services and Construction Grant. The Fullerton
Public Library was financed by the Hunt Company.
Should it be decided to proceed with the Children’s Library, the plans for
a branch would undoubtedly be delayed (after 1975) four to five years.

A NEW CHILDREN'S LIBRARY IN CARLSBAD - DO WE REALLY NEED IT?
' The Children's Department at Carlsbad City Library is an unusual institutioi
Perhaps the term "institution" is a misnomer because it implies forced aitendancc
There is no captive audience at the library, yet special programs draw up to 200
children at a time in the library's limited space. Children's programs range frl
films to performances by professional folk-singers; from magic shows to the best
marionette productions Southern California has to offer.
After visiting 15 of the "best" children's library facilities in the State,
(according to the advice of two State Library Consultants and an independent
library consulting firm), I have come to the conclusion that Carlsbad City Libra
is unique in California. I was fully prepared to see inspiring children's faci-
lities, and even more inspiring over-all programs. Instead I found a number of
good features incorporated in children's rooms with dedicated 1 ibrarians in chart
but, in most cases, I saw a lack of imagination bordering on mediocrity. Most
libraries visited had little understanding of the true needs of their comrnunitie
and even less understanding of future demands of the public.
I returned to Carlsbad satisfied that we have one of the most complete Chill
Library packages in the State. We compare or exceed even the largest public li-
braries in the variety of materials; staff enthusiasm; special programming; and,
most important, community support. The greatest problem we face was accentuated
after returning, as I scanned the 1,200 square foot area now occupied by the
Children's Department. It is difficult to maintain the vigorous level of progra
ming we presently carry on for our youngest citizens in an area not much larger

wear their pajamas, and it gives the fathers an opportunity
to participate in the story-time experience with their young
children); and 4. Magic Show.

Many of the programs are held in the Library Conference Room and the sched

1. WHAT THE STATISTICS DON'T SHOW
Statistics are a useful tool, but do not always show the whole picture.
Any decrease in children's library card regfstrations, for example,
should be qualified with the understanding that the registration file has
recently undergone a.long overdue weeding of children who have moved from
Carlsbad or have been "promoted" to the adult cards. During the last two
years, there has been a total increase of 515 library card registrations.
It would be more accurate to show that there were actually 1,387 new librar]
card registrations, which at the same time 872 registrations were weeded -
leaving a total increase of 515.
A major area in which no statistics are available is thz heavy use of the
library by pre-schoolers. Children do not receive library cards until they
are able to write their. om names. Carlsbad City Library runs the most
successful pre-school program of any single library in the county - Story -
hour - Bedtime Stories - Toy Lending Library, etc. Yet because parents check
out the materials for Carlsbad's youngest residents, no record of individual
children is available other than thru the 200 plus children registered for
the Toy Lending Library.
Use of the Children's Library by adults taking any of the five children's
literature related classes offered locally is another area not reflected in
the statistics. Increased interest in children's books as literature is a
fairly recent phenomena which has drawn a sophisticated clientel to the
library for research.
When statistics are cited claiming that many of the children using the libr,
are Oceanside residents, it must be remembered that at least 150 (not count
pre-schoolers), of this group live within the jurisdiction of the Carlsbad
Unified School District. These children are introduced to the Carlsbad Cit:
Library as their first contact with a public library through tours and clas
room visits by the Children's Librarian. It is only natural that these chi
will use our library after formal introduction to it's programs and resourct
The latest statistics from the Carlsbad Unified School District showed an el
rollment of 2,650 children from grades K-8, with approximately 275 addition#
children enrolled at St. Patrick's - a total of 2,935.
2. PROJECTED GROWTH
Carlsbad is a young city and population growth is inevitable. Experts may
agree that the birth rate is dropping nationwide, but in Carlsbad with a pr
jected population of close to 90,000 by the end of the century (San Diego
Comprehensive Planning Organization), there will be an influx of young fami
Local school souces give a conservative estimate for the next couple of ye
at a 3 - 5% increase in the Kindergarten through 8th grade category with 45
new children entering Carlsbad's four public elementary schools this fall.
(Juan Solis, Carlsbad Unified School District) Depending on the type and c
of housing erected in the city, this estimate in years to come may be very
conservative.

3. RELATIONSHIP WITH NEIGHBORING COMNUNITIES
(Serra Regional Library System)
Although the Carlsbad City Library's first concern is to serve the residents
of Carlsbad, it has an obligation to serve neighboring communities as a mem-
ber of the Serra Regional Library System. The advantages of belonging to a
system are numerous.
members of a library system.) The Serra System comprises all public librari
in San Diego and Imperial Counties, with affiliations with the two major
universities in the area. Advantages as a system member listed below:
(Only two small area in California are not presently
a. Carlsbad resident&ay use any of Serra member library facilities.
(And they do)
b. Carlsbad residents have access to 1,200 16mm films in system. (We
om only 125 films)
c. Carlsbad residents may borrow a book by means of interlibrary loan
from any system library and, if unavailable locally, from any
library in the state.
The Serra Research Center is available to us for in-depth reference
questions which go beyond our resources.
d.
THE CONCEPT OF A SEPARATE CHILDREN'S FACILITY IS NOT A NEW ONE. Carlsbad
carried on a highly successful library program previously with the children
library in one building, located on Harding Street and the adult library on
the corner of Roosevelt and Elm. The separation allowed for a freer, more
open children's program.
In the past ten years, the area population has experienced phenomenal growt?
and the children's library has gone from a small well-controlled area of thl
main library - to a bee-hive of activity and noise. The 1,200 sq. ft. area
in which the children's department is now CONFINED is inadequate to allow fi
the innovative, imaginative programing so necessary to a vital, vibrant,
RIGHT-ON children's library: Ghile the 1,200 sq. ft. is not adequate for tl
children, it would greatly relieve the conjestion now being experienced in
adult department, and the removal of the children's activities to a separati
facility would provide a quieter section for the people trying to do resear
of just taking a brief respite to thumb through a magazine.

unique in California. I was fully prepared to see inspiring children's facilitie
and even more inspiring over-all programs, Instead I found a number of good feat
incorporated in children's rooms with dedicated librarians in charge; but, in moE
cases, I saw a lack of imagination bordering on mediocrity. Host libraries
visited had little understanding of the true needs of their communities and
even less understanding of future demands of the public.

Library packages in the State, We compare with or exceed even the largest public
libraries in the variety of materials; staff enthusiasm; special programing; and
