- a. Centro de Informacidn: arrangements for facility
1) Library staff continued to meet with management and staff of the city Parks and Recreation Department to work out details of using Harding Community Center's Multipurpose Room for the
Centro. It is necessary, of course, to
accommodate arrangements for the Centro to the
needs the Parks and. Recreation Department has for
using the room for their classes and meetings.
Planned hours of operation of the Centro, as well as the opening date, were changed several times, as scheduling conflicts aiid building renovation timetables were identified. Library staff and Parks and Recreation staff continue to work together smoothly. Parks and Recreation staff, as
well as city Utilities and Maintenance staff, have
been very generous and helpful to the program.
2) The auditorium adjoining the Centro was reserved fo Spanish-language storyhours , to be held Thursday afternoons. The auditorium is already used for English-language storyhours on Wednesday mornings. Centro will be staffed during both storyhours.
3) Arrangements were made with the City Clerk for installation of a phone line at the Centro. The ph
line will be part of the city governinent phone syst
and tied into the city voice mail system, even duri
hours the Centro is not open.

3 ) Screening a) Recruitment resulted in 55 applications being
submitted. All 55 applicants were bilingual ? they came from a variety of educational aiid wc experience backgrounds, including constructior library work, social services, education, architecture, retail sales, and assembly line. Adult Learning Program Coordinator Lynda Jones

e) Virtually all 55 applicants already had. full o
part-time jobs and were looking at the Centro as additional work. Also, the schedule of
operation for the Centro and the need to do outreach require flexibility of hours. Combin
these two factors posed a challenge, along wit the budget, of calculating how many staff coul hired. at how inany hoars per staff membei- to co the necessary hours of operation. Finally, it
calculated that 5 part-time staff could be hir the supervisor at 19 hours per week, one staff member at 15 hours! and three staff members at hours each.
f) The 5 staff iiietntbers selected come from a varie of backgrounds. They include four wonien and o man; a range of ages; persons born in the U.S. immigrants f rani Mexico and Central America; an they have work experience in education, social services , chiici services , agriculture , account and senior services. Together, they form a strong, caring team for implementing the Centr program. An unexpected bonus was discovering the 5 Centro staff members already have considerable experience with library services Spanish-language books. All are strong librar advocates.
c. Collection Development

Children and Adolescents at California State Univer at San Marcos. Dr. Schon provided very useful advi about. collection development for both adult and children' s Spanish collections. Her bibliographies
will form the core of the Carlsbad collections.
3) Library children's staff and the head of Collection
Development compared Dr. Schon's bibliographies wit the existing collections in the Main Library and prepared lists of books to order for the Centro. Buying was then done at a Spanish language bookstor San Diego and from vendors at the Public Library Association Conference in Sail Diego.

Centro staff and other library staff will work with city
Parks and Recreation staff to develop means of creating
welcoming, informational atmosphere for the Centro. The
challenge is that all Centro materials must be stored in
two cabinets when the Centro is not actually open. Therefore, such desirable features as posters on the wal racks with brochures, and other displays will only be possible with considerable set-up and take-down time for
staff and with probably the use of the library van to transport many items daily to the Centro. Details of developing an appropriate atmosphere will need to be
explored.

The Coalition will continue to meet on at least a month1 basis. Committees will work on special projects such as Grand Opening.
