The Arts Associates will put the information on the kiosk, with the Arts program responsible for maintenance. Board Member Trigas stated that she felt this Board shou Id have the right of approval on the final design and should be involved in the process to determine where the kiosk should be placed and what it wi I I look like. Library Board of Trustees approved the recommendation of an information kiosk to be placed in front of the Library, with the stipulatlon that the Library Board would like to have final approval on the design and location of the kiosk. b. Planning Process Library Survey Results - Executive Summary. President Cooper stated the Executive Summary was in the packet and the full copy of the surveys was distributed to Board Members. Board Member Grosse suggested that the word %a Costa" be taken out of the Executive Summary when referring to the Branch Library--that the reference should be to the Main Library and the Branch Library. The suggestion was made to change "Carlsbad Library" to the "Carlsbad City L i brary". Director Lange explained that the survey results would be distributed to the State Library, other libraries, and be available to the public. c. Futtsu, our Sister City Video Tape.

ADJOURNMENT: By proper motion, the Meeting of March 15, 1989, was adjourned at 4:40 p.m. Respectful ly submltted, karrlett Babbitt Minutes Clerk TRUSTEES ’ March 8, 1989 TO: LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES FROM: Library Director PROPOSED SOUTH CARLSBAD LIBRARY The city council has asked the library board for a recommendation relating to the proposal to name the new library building the Carlsbad City Library, and the existing library building the Georgina Cole Library. The city council has asked for two recommendations: 1. The exact wording to be used for the renaming of the existing library. 2. The timing for the name change. My recommendation is that you support the council's proposal, and that the name change for the existing library take place upon completion of the new building and the reopening of the existing library. In making a recommendation to the council, an important issue to keep in mind is the identity of the library as the Carlsbad City Library. Essentially, the Carlsbad City Library will deliver service out of two relatively large facilities. library, the other a branch, although the term ttbranchtl need not be attached to the name. One building will be the main Barbara Ladwig 2/23/89 Dear Mr. Cooper, Enclosed is a copy of the letter I sent to the Carlsbad City Council concerning the proposal to rename the present library in honor of Georgina Cole. As you will see in the letter, I am very much in favor of honoring Georgina. I do, however, think it might be more appropriate to name the new library in La Costa after her. I ask that the Library Board of Trustees give consideration to my comments. Sincerely, .J I 3289 Donna Drive Carlsbad, CA 92008 February 18, 1989 Carlsbad City Council 1200 Elm Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008 Dear Council Members: I would like to comment on John Mamaux's proposal to rename the Carlsbad Library in honor of Georgina Cole. I agree with Mr. Mamaux that Georgina deserves City recognition for her tireless efforts on behalf of the library. I first became acquainted with her in 1972 when I worked at the library as a volunteer, and later when I served on the Friends of the Library Board for five years. She was indeed the power behind all the good things that happened at the library, and her dedication was an inspiration to everyone who worked with her. My suggestion concerning recognition for Georgina would be to name the new library in La Costa the Georgina Cole Library for the following reasons : 1) The identity of the current library on Elm Avenue is well entrenched in the minds of everyone who uses it; therefore, calling the new library by the current library's name would be confusing. 2) Georgina was the first to push for a new library in the southern part of Carlsbad, so the fact that her wishes have finally come to fruition would make it fitting to name it after her. When I worked at the library as a volunteer in 1972, she was pleased with my secretarial skills, and she asked me to put in an application with the City for a paid job at the La Costa Branch Library, which she felt would be built in the very near future! I also remember many discussions at Friends board meetings concerning the need to build a new library in the south, and these discussions always included impassioned pleas from Georgina, asking us to actively push for this library to be built. I hope that you will give serious consideration to my suggestion to name the new library the Georgina Cole Library. Sincerely, Barbara Ladwig -. MARCH 8, 1989 TO : CLIFF LANGE FROM : CONNIE BEARDSLEY INFORMATION KIOSK The Arts Commission recommends that an artist design a permanent information kiosk to be placed in front ,of the Library. The Arts Associates are interested in a kiosk to promote cultural events and have raised funds to pay for the fabrication of the first kiosk. The Arts Commission will select an artist to design the kiosk. The design will also be approved by the Arts Associates. The information kiosk will be used to post information about cultural events taking place in Carlsbad. It will be weather- proof, covered with glass and locked. The design and building of the first kiosk will be a prototype. If it functions as anticipated, other locations will be considered. One possibility is the Redevelopment area to post cultural information for tourists, another possibility is in the La Costa area, and a third is the central part of Carlsbad. After the first kiosk is in place, the success of the project will be reviewed before proceeding with others. input from the Planning Department. This request is for design only and the Arts Commission recommends $2,000 be appropriated for this project. Future locations will be determined with CSB:afd c: Michael Holzmiller EXECUTIVE SUMMARY wn The City of Carlsbad gone of the most rapidly growing cities in the San Diego region. Between 1980 and 1988, the population increased from 35,500 to 58,900--a gain of 66 percent. City administrators are faced with the challenge of providing the public services and facilities that are required to accommodate such a rapid rate of growth. The Carlsbad City Library is one facility which is currently undergoing expansion to meet the needs of Carlsbad residents. Two library facilities are currently maintained by the city--the main library on Elm Avenue and a branch library in La Costa. According to standards set by the city, the existing libraries, with about 29,100 square feet, do not contain the minimum square footage required to serve a population the size of Carlsbad's. A new library is currently in the planning stages which will alleviate this situation. The new library will be located near the intersection of El Camino Real and Alga Road and is scheduled for completion by 1992. It will contain 58,000 square feet of space (doubling the space currently available) and will hold as many as 250,000 volumes. When that library is built, the existing library on Elm Avenue will be renovated and the La Costa branch closed. These activities will result in a library system containing over 82,000 square feet of space that is readily accessible to all City of Carlsbad residents. As part of the long-range planning process, four surveys were conducted in the fall of 1988 to elicit the attitudes and opinions of people associated with the library, including library users, students, and staff. People who had rarely or never used the Carlsbad Library were also surveyed in an attempt to determine their reasons for not using the library. The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) was requested to assist in the development, conduct, and analysis of these surveys, the results of which are contained in this report. This Executive Summary will provide an overview of the results'.\of the suweys and highlight *significant findings. / Librarv User Survey A survey to elicit the attitudes and opinions of library users was distributed by volunteers at the main library and the La Costa branch. The survey was conducted over a period of several days and evenings so that a cross section of library users could be obtained. More than 1,OOO questionnaires were completed. i Survey results indicate that the majority of those using the Carlsbad Library do so with regularity. For both main library and branch library users, nearly nine out of ten respondents visit the library at least once or twice a month, with about 16 percent stating that they use the library more than once a week. Checking out books or magazines and obtaining information for hobbies or other personal interests are the most common uses of the library. Overall, about two-thirds of respondents are satisfied with the current hours of operation at the Carlsbad Library they usually use. However, the level of satisfaction with the operating hours was lower among branch library users (59 percent satisfied) than main library patrons (72 percent satisfied). Having the library open on Sunday and longer evening hours (particularly on Friday) were the most common suggestions for changing the library's hours. Two questions were asked to determine the importance of certain materials and services. The first addressed materials and services that are already available at the Carlsbad Library, while the second asked respondents to evaluate materials and services that could be offered but are not currently available. Of the 15 items listed that are currently offered, three were cited as "very important" by a significantly greater percentage than others. Those three were children's materials, video tapes, and business or reference materials. With the exception of children's materials (felt to be very important by a higher percentage of branch library users), responses to this question did not vary significantly between those using the main library and branch library patrons. In terms of materials and services not currently offered, information about community events was considered to be the most important by respondents, followed by drive through book drops and personal computers for public use. Again, there were few significant differences in responses between users of the two libraries, although the importance of information about community events was felt to be greater by branch library users (cited as very important by nearly half of those respondents) than main library users (39 percent). About 41 percent of respondents regularly use a library other than the Carlsbad Library. Respondents from the main library are more likely to use another library than are branch library users ( 44 percent and 32 percent, respectively). The Oceanside Liirary and the . UCSD library are most frequently used by respondents using another library. ii Survey respondents were asked to indicate if they are currently taking any classes such as college courses, job training, exercise classes, or classes for a hobby or special interest. Respondents were also asked where they get the books or other materials required for those classes. With only a slight variation between respondent groups, over one-third of respondents are attending outside classes. Of those enrolled in classes, 41 percent are taking self-improvement courses, and 35 percent are enrolled in college classes. While the percentage of respondents who are taking classes did not vary significantly between main library and branch library users, the types of classes in which they are enrolled did show some disparity. For example, 54 percent of branch library users who are taking classes are enrolled in self improvement classes, compared to 37 percent of main library respondents. A majority of respondents borrow from the Carlsbad Library and/or buy the materials needed for those classes. Reflecting the recent rapid growth that has occurred in Carlsbad, the majority of respondents (55 percent) who live in Carlsbad have lived there less than 5 years. Long- term residents of the city (living there 15 years or more) are more concentrated among main library users. This is a reflection of the fact that much of the residential growth in Carlsbad has centered in the southern part of the city (closer to the branch library), while the residential development surrounding the main library is more established. It is interesting to note that more than one quarter of all respondents to this survey are not City of Carlsbad residents. The percentage of non-Carlsbad residents who use the Carlsbad Liirary ranged from 14 percent at the branch library to 33 percent at the main library. City of Oceanside residents provide the largest single group of non-resident users, making up 44 percent of that total. As might be expected, proximity to either the main library or the branch library seems to dictate which would be used by non-residents. Encinitas residents make up 66 percent of non-resident users of the branch library, while comprising only 17 percent of main library users. Similarly, half of the non-resident main library users come from Oceanside, compared to just 2 percent of branch library users. The age groups of those using the library are consistent between the two libraries, with about half of all respondents being between the ages of 25 and 44. Patrons of the branch library are slightly more likely to have children under the age of 18 living in their homes than are main library users (51 percent and 41 percent, respectively). Nearly nine out of ten children of library users also use the Carlsbad Liiraq. Fully half of respondents at both libraries are graduates of a four-year college. About 7 percent of main liirary respondents and three percent of branch library users are not high school graduates. ... 1U The final question on the survey asked respondents to provide additional comments. Nearly half of all respondents took this opportunity. The most prevalent comments were "I like the library" and "staff is courteoushelpful". Three percent of all respondents stated that they were looking forward to the new library, ranging from one percent of main library users to 9 percent of branch library respondents. TeleDhone Survev (Libraw Non-Users) To augment the information obtained from the library user survey, a telephone survey of people who rarely or never use the Carlsbad Library was conducted. A list of randomly- generated telephone numbers was created. Library volunteers conducted the telephone survey at various times of the day and evening to insure that a cross-section of the public had an opportunity to participate in the survey. (The survey was translated into Spanish and a Spanish-speaking interviewer was available to conduct the survey in that language.) Respondents were asked if they had ever used the Carlsbad Library, and if so, how often in the past year. Those who had never used the library or had used it only once or twice in the past year were interviewed. A total of 110 surveys were conducted. When asked in an open-ended question why they did not use the Carlsbad Ljirary, the predominant reason given was that the respondent did not have time (34 percent). Twenty percent stated that they had moved here recently. About 15 percent indicated that they simply had no interest in using the library. Nearly 10 percent buy their own books or use another library. More than eight out of ten respondents do not regularly use another library. School libraries (particularly UCSD) and other public libraries were most frequently indicated by those that use another library. Respondents were read a list of services and materials currently available at the Carlsbad Library and asked if they were aware that the library offered each one. Of the 17 services listed, those which received the greatest level of awareness on the part of respondents were children's materials, books for teens, recordskassette tapes, business reference materials, and video tape check-out. Those items about which respondents were least aware were sewing patterns, compact disks, art rentals, and book delivery to shut-ins. Just over one-quarter of respondents take classes such as college courses, job training, exercise classes, or classes for a hobby or special interest. Self-improvement and job- related classes are the most frequently taken classes by library non-users (each taken by about one-third of those taking outside classes). iv In most cases, books and other materials needed for classes are either supplied in class or are purchased by the respondent (29 iercent each). For about 13 percent of respondents taking classes, no books or other materials are required. In very few cases are materials borrowed at the Carlsbad Library or any other library facility. With a few exceptions, the demographic make-1-n of library non-users is in many ways similar to that of library users. About half of non-users have lived in Carlsbad less than five years, while about one-quarter are long termgresidents of more than 10 years. The proportion of females responding to the telephone survey was higher than might be expected (63 percent vs. 47 percent). However, this is not unusual in a telephone survey, since females tend to answer phones more frequently than do males. r/ About one-half of library non-users are in the 25 to 44 year age group, while one in five are age 60 or over. Thirty percent have children under the age of 18 living in their home, about 60 percent of whom use the Carlsbad Library. Nearly 95 percent of respondents are high-school graduates, with about 40 percent obtaining a degree from a four-year college or conducting post-graduate studies. In about 16 percent of respondent households, a language other than English is spoken in the home (although not necessarily exclusively)--primarily Spanish. (Questions 13, 14) When asked to provide additional comments, about half of the respondents did so. The most frequent response was that they liked the services that a library provides (not necessarily the Carlsbad Lt’brary). Other respondents stated that the survey had provided them with information about the services that the Carlsbad Library offered. Others said that now that they know about the library, they plan to use it. School Survey The in-library user survey and the telephone survey were effective in eliciting the attitudes and opinions of teen-age and adult library users and non-users. However, it was felt that one important segment of the population--school-age children- was missed in those survey efforts. Therefore, a brief survey was designed and distributed to all fi-grade students at seven schools in the Carlsbad area. A library technician was present to assist the children in completing their surveys and to answer any questions. V A total of 441 students participated in the survey, ranging from 36 students (8 percent of the total) at Pine Elementary School to more than 100 (26 percent of the total) at La Costa Heights. Just over half of respondents (53 percent) were female; 47 percent were male. Nearly two-thirds of respondents have a Carlsbad Library card, and three-quarters indicated that they have used the Carlsbad Library or the La Costa branch library. Those students who have never gone to either of the Carlsbad libraries were asked why. There was no predominant reason--the percentage indicating each of 6 responses were nearly identical. However, "I would rather do other things" received slightly more responses (30 percent) than did other reasons. Students who indicated that they had used the Carlsbad Library were asked who they usually go with, what they use the library for, and how satisfied they are with the service and materials available at the library. The majority (71 percent) of students who visit the library do so with other members of their family. Only 10 percent of respondents go to the library by themselves--the remainder go with a friend or sitter. Very few students who use the library use it for just one purpose. Eight out of ten use the library to check out books. The percentage of those who do their homework and those who read for fun at the library were nearly equal (47 percent and 45 percent, respectively). Going to programs and checking out records and audio cassettes were indicated by the fewest percentage of respondents as reasons they use the library. A list of six items available at the library was presented and respondents were asked if they were "great", "good", "O.K", "not good", or if they had never used them. The items most frequently used by respondents were books (used by 99 percent of those using the library), magazines (75 percent), and video cassettes (69 percent). More than half of those who had used the library's books or video cassettes rated them as "great". Of the students who use materials at the library to do their homework, 90 percent stated that they are usually able to find what they are looking for. In general, respondents are also satisfied with the help they receive from the library staff. Nearly two-thirds indicated that the people who work in the library are very helpful. The final question on the survey asked respondents to make additional comments about the Carlsbad Library. Just over one-third of the students provided additional comments. By far, the most prevalent comment (made by over half of those responding) was that the Carlsbad Library is a good, fun place to go. Sixteen percent requested a larger vi selection of books for people in their age group. Eleven percent said that they like the people who work there. Staff Survey The fourth survey conducted in this study was of full- and part-time staff at both the main and branch libraries. It was thought that the perspective of library employees was important in any effort to plan for expanded or new services. Also, it provides employees an opportunity to express their opinions about the library and the working environment in an anonymous fashion. A total of 53 responses were received, representing more than two-thirds of library employees. The majority of respondents to this survey (51 percent) have worked for the Carlsbad Library for one to four years. Seventeen percent are short-term (less than one year) employees; about equal percentages have worked there for 5 to 9 years and 10 years or more. Nearly 60 percent of respondents indicated that they are part-time employees. Fifteen library services were listed and respondents were asked if they felt each one was very important, somewhat important, not at all important, or if they had no opinion. Of the services listed, four were indicated as "very important" by at least half of the respondents. Those services were community event information, conference rooms, group study rooms, and an auditorium. However, when the percentage responding "very important" was combined with the percentage of "somewhat important" responses, the ranking was slightly different. Community event information and conference rooms were still first and second in priority, but tutoring rooms and non-Spanish foreign language materials emerged as the third and fourth ranked services. Four open-ended questions were asked to elicit comments about how the library's services, programs, atmosphere, and resources could be improved. About half of the 53 survey participants responded to those questions. Services: The most frequent response to this question was to separate the children's area from the rest of the library. Other suggestions were to add more staff, . separate the circulation area from other parts of the library, and add more videos to the collection. Pronrams: More than one-third of those responding to this question indicated a need for larger and/or improved facilities in which to present the programs. Other vii suggestions had to do with the content of the programs, such as more programs €or adults and seniors and more programs for teenagers. Atmomhere: Improving the lighting in the library was the most frequent suggestion. Providing a separate area for children was also suggested in this category as a way to improve the library's atmosphere. Resources: The three suggestions made by the greatest percentage of respondents addressed the book collection. Improving the depth of the collection and adding more self-help, financial, and study materials were some specific suggestions. Some felt that the books should be reorganized for easier access by patrons. In general, respondents to this survey seem satisfied with their jobs. Ninety-six percent indicated that theyare very or somewhat satisfied with their positions (42 percent and 55 J percent, respectively). In terms of what they like most about working at the Carlsbad Library, nearly two-thirds stated that they had great co-workers. Other things that made their job enjoyable were good working conditions, nice patrons, and the fact that the job provides intellectual stimulation. The most difficult thing about working at the Carlsbad Library appears to be the lack of space, indicated by nearly one-third of those responding to the question. Other comments about difficulties included a perception of inequality between full- and part-time employees and a lack of communication and supprt between departments. Four types of staff communication were listed and respondents were asked to rate the effectiveness of each. The communication between division heads and staff and between staff and supervisors was rated as very effective by about one-quarter of respondents. Three of the four types of staff communication received "very" or "somewhat" effective ratings by at least threequarters of respondents. However, the communication between divisions was rated very or somewhat effective by less than half of those responding. Of four suggestions listed for improving staff communications, increased orientation for new staff was thought to be very important by about eight out of ten respondents. Nearly 60 percent felt that regular staff meetings are very important, while about half indicated that a monthly library news summary would be very important. The final question on the suwey provided respondents an opportunity to make additional comments. About half of the suwey participants made comments. Some staff suggested that they would like more opportunities for promotion, while others felt that benefits should be made available to part-time as well as full-time employees. viii CARLSBAD CITY LIBRARY STATISTICS February 1989 Feb.
