Director Lange referred to the memorandum from Clint Phillips regarding the storage of historical documents, and said this would not include bones, etc., but would be documents. Brian Robert son, Hi storic Preservation Commi ssi oner, stated that "artifacts" was the wrong term, and the Commission had not meant large bones. They do have some very small bones and small objects, but mostly papers and photographs. curious about the "Carlsbad Room" and whether the items they had would be something that should be placed in that room. Director Lange stated that a local history room is being planned for the existing Library, after the new Library is completed. Mr. Robertson said that there are video tapes on different historic sites in Carlsbad and the Comnission would like to have the items they have collected viewable and not locked up somewhere in boxes. He said the Commission was not asking for a certain number of square feet, but just asking if their materials would fit into the Library. Director Lange stated he felt that was exactly what the Library should provide. Geoff Armour asked about the photographs, slides or video tapes, and how the Commission ultimately saw the ownership-- incorporated into the Library's coll ection and managed by the Library staff, or controlled by the Commission. Mr. Robertson said the Commission had discussed that matter at its last meeting, and felt the Library Board might feel the Commission had "dumped" material on them, and who was to pay for staff time to organize it. The Comnission felt that they would budget money for that. Director Lange said he felt it was the Library's obligation to deal with that material. material and the City Library, and it would be appropriate for the Library to organize it. He added that there would not be a Carlsbad Room for two and a half years, and in the interim the Library has storage space in a climate-controlled space. Geoff Armour look through the material the Historic Preservation Commission has on hand. Mr. Robertson said the Commissioners were to make up lists of what was to be stored at the Library, and they could make an inventory of material on hand.

He added that there will be places to display these objects, and he felt that was important. b. David Smith's Visit. Director Lange said this item was on the Agenda to tell about Mr. Smith's visit last week. The primary purpose of Mr. Smith's visit was to review the changes suggested in the building program for the new Library and cut through a preliminary square footage allocation for the Cole Library. Also, the first draft of organization and staffing was reviewed. Director Lange said that work was finished on the building program document for the new Library, and work was started on the Cole Library square footage allocation. Dr. Lange said an architect is needed to help with the decisions in allocating the square footage and accessibility. He said the staff mezzanine is not handicap accessible, and that raises an issue of the effective use of that space. Director Lange commented that one reason an architect is needed, is that when this present building is changed, staff does not want to do something that would have to be re-done. Part of the scope of work for the architect will be to give advice on the potential for expansion of the existing Library. Director Lange said organization and staffing was worked on, and there will be a revised version of that. He said this will be on the December Agenda, and there will be a final version of the program for this Board's review. C. ReDort on Librarv Buildins Review Committee Trustee Trigas reported the Panel had met and reviewed 33 architect applications and narrowed the field down to seven to bring back to the Conmittee-at-Large.

She said that everyone received the same information, and it was stipulated that every member of the Panel had to be present to interview all seven finalists. NEW BUS1 NFSS: a.

This new committee provides an advisory role in the process for citizens at large as well as members of key city boards, commissions and the council. Mr. Smith made three trips to Carlsbad this quarter for lengthy meetings with library staff, the library Planning Committee and the new Building Review Committee. A draft building program for the new library has been reviewed and modified and plans are well under way to recruit an architect. The theme for the children's Summer Reading Club at both main and branch libraries was "Monstermania." Programs, movies, crafts and most other club activities were all related to monster themes. 864 children participated in the club this summer, 138 of them at the branch. The library began sponsoring a series of poetry writing workshops held at the granary building in Magee Park. The Magee Park Poets' Workshops are held on selected Saturdays and are led by San Diego County poets who are currently teaching poetry or creative writing in local colleges and who have published poetry themselves. Two new computer based projects were proposed this quarter and approved by the City Council for develop- ment. Both projects will use Apple MacIntosh hardware. Desktop publishing will be the first of the two proj- ects to be put to practical use. The project will be handled by the library's Arts and Programs and Exhibits Divisions and will expedite the retrieval and review of documents as well as professionalize the appearance of printed materials. It will also enhance the library's ability to provide design and graphics services to other city departments. The Reference Division, in preparation for the expanded library system, will develop a self-service information station using a hypercard program. Computers will eventually be in- stalled in public service areas in each library, pro- viding patrons with access to the physical layout, the location of materials and various policies and proce- dures.
