TemDorarv Video Tam2 Retrieval Svstem and Promsal to Redesian Audio- Geoff Armour explained in detail the plans to move all the video tapes out of storage and into the AV area. 10,000 videos that will be on display. Staff feels with the videos in view, this will expand the use. The move will include the Young Adult Collection, Cassettes, Oversize Audios, Paperbacks, Compact Disks and the Friend's Sale area. This will bring the collection to Mr. Armour explained that the video collection contains foreign films, documentaries, history and health and educational tapes, rather than popular films. The Library only has one copy of any recent movies, and the bulk of demand is for the cultural and educational videos. Mr. Armour stated the security system was a concern, but that will be discussed at length later in the agenda. In response to query, he stated that the reason the collection of videoa is so large, is that money was available from the insurance fee charged on videos. Dr. Lange added that also staff had in mind having a collection available for the new library. The AV area work will be done with grant funds, and with the help of volunteers and staff. b. ReDort on Centro de Informacion Activity and Use - Lynda Jones Lynda Jones reported on the Centro de Infonnacion, stating it opened November 12, 1991, with 1.6 full-time etaff. The Centro is open 18 hours a week, and at the end of January, there were 840 items in their collection. She stated that the Centro is getting the reputation of being a "helping place" and the local residents in that area are calling the Centro and/or stopping in to seek assistance. She complimented the staff for their work and stated they are doing an excellent job of developing public relations with the Hispanic population. Lizeth Simonson, Supervisor at the Centro de Informacion, showed photographs of activities at the Centro and stated that they have a study room where the high school student8 now come to have a quiet place to study.

Relocation at ions for Centro de Informacion Dr. Lange stated that the Centro will be moving, and Lynda Jones stated that approximately $2,300 apent for telephone wiring might be lost due to the move. There might be some of the other equipment that might not be usable in a new location, but staff would salvage all that they could. Dr. Lange stated that another house near by has been considered as the new location, but negotiations are not final. He said the earliest the Centro could move would be April, and probably later than that. Dr. Lange stated that there is a possibility that additional funds will not be available, due to the budget problems with the State. Trustee Curtin suggested "dragging their feet" with the move, in order to try to determine whether or not there will be funds €or the Centro. February 19, 1992 LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES Page 3 NEW BUSINESS: a. b. C. d. e. Librarv Services and Construction Act and State Library Fundina Issues Dr. Lange referred to the letter from Gary Strong included in the packet which was to apprise the Library of steps being taken to avert the potential loss of Federal Library Services and Construction Act Title I funds for 1992/93. Status rewrt on SB 1230 Library Construction Bond Act Dr. Lange referred to the Memorandum from Michael Dillon to get the library bonds included in the bond package. He recommended that the Trustees write letters to the Governor to urge his support. President Trigas asked for a letter to be sent from the Library Board, with all their signatures. The consensus of the Board was to have this letter sent and letters thanking the local representatives for their continued support. Prormsal for a New Security Svstem for the Librarv Geoff Armour stated that staff wanted the video tapes secured, and that the present security system is not working. Items are being taken out the door at the present time, as the security system ie easily compromised. Mr. Armour said that requests for bids will be sent to three vendore, and the funds are in next year's budget. He explained how an electro- magnetic system would work and stated it is hoped to get this system installed in July of this year. New gates will be installed at the doors, but the most difficult part will be getting the collection tagged Promsed 1992-93 Librarv Ow ratina Budaet Dr. Lange recommended that the Board not spend time on going through the budget, as it is still subject to change. He explained that further cuts have been requested and it is now a question of where to cut. Geoff Armour stated that the collection materials could be curtailed, or the hours of operation could be cut. The consensus of the Library Board was to cut hours and leave the collection materials intact. President Trigas left the meeting at 4:45 p.m., and Trustee Martin assumed the Chair. Glendora on Satur dav. March 7. 1992 Dr. Lange asked any Board Members planning to attend this meeting to please let him know prior to February 24. : Califo LIBRARY DIRECTOR ' S REPORT : Dr. Lange stated that the City Manager had asked for a report on non-residents fees and cards, and he is working on that at the present time. February 19, 1992 LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES Page 4 FRIENDS OF TEE LIBRARY: Taffy Cannon reported the Friends cleared $3,300 on the book sale last month, and plan to hold sales three times a year. The next one will probably be held sometime in May, She reported that the ongoing sale of books and magazines ia going well. She explained a new program, "Plant a Book in a Young Mind" and said they hope to start a business and corporate membership drive. Me. Cannon commented that volunteer time has dropped, and that ie due to the younger women holding regular jobs and the other helpers getting too old to do the volunteer work.

Describe significant events of this project report period. Relate activities to specific project objectives. Centro de Informaci6n Facility 1) On October 16, 1991, the City of Carlsbad Planning Commission unanimously approved the library's application for a Cyditional Use Permit to operate the Centro de Informacion in a small house on Harding Street in downtown Carlsbad. The city's Utilities and Maintenance Department and Information Systems Department, from mid-October to mid-November, handled the many improvements necessary to prepare the building for occupancy: installation of security doors and window bars, upgrading of electrical system, repair of heating system, installation of phone system, lighting, pest control, cleaning, etc. The city's Utilities and Maintenance staff is handling ongoing cleaning and maintenance of the facility. The Centro de Informaci6n staff spent two weeks preparing the facility to open: collection, arranging furniture, preparing interior signage, hanging posters,, etc. 5) The Centro de Informacion opened to the public on November 12, 1991. 6) On December 1, 1991, the property which the library leases for the Centro was sold to a new owner. The library had had no prior notice that a sale was anticipated. On December 21, the new property owner delivered a 30- day notice of eviction to the Centro. City Utilities and Maintenance managers and library managers met with the new property owner on December 26 to discuss options. City officials will continue to work with the property owner to resolve the situation. In the meantime, library officials are investigating other sites, should a move be necessary. - a. 2) 3) 4) arranging the 7) 8) - b. Patron Visits and Reaistrations 1) The Main Library staff, in the Reference, Children's, and Circulation Departments, informally noticed a marked increase in Hispanic patrons using the Main Library during this quarter. It is not possible to quantify the increase, since, of course, individual patrons are not counted by their ethnicity. Also, Hispanic patrons are using many different library resources, not just the Spanish language collections, CARLSBAD CITY LIBRARY Centro de Informacidn LSCA Quarterly Report October - December 1991 Page 2 so their increased use of the library may not be statistically obvious. registered through PFC, bringing the total number of patrons registered since July 1991 (when PFC registrations began) to 103. The Centro opened on November 12. Patron visits to the Centro from November 12 to December 31 numbered 913. 2) From October to December 1991, 80 new patrons were 3) Adults Teens Children Total November 88 55 188 331 December 128 88 366 582 Total 216 143 554 913 4) The most surprising aspect of patron visits to the Centro thus far has been the steady use of the facility by Spanish-speaking teens. In all of the planning for the Centro, a high use by teens was never anticipated. The library staff is very excited about this development. There is growing evidence of a need for a quiet place for teens to study and a need for Spanish- language resources and Spanish-speaking staff and tutors to help them with their studies. - c. Collection and Circulation 1) The library's Collections Coordinator and the Centro staff have allocated the funds available, both from the LSCA grant and from the library's own materials budget, to provide continued growth of Spanish-language resources at both the Centro and the Main Library. At the Main Library, special emphasis is being put on increasing the size and quality of the children's Spanish-language collection. 2) Library managers, division heads, and Centro staff decided that the Centro should be tied in with the rest of the library's computerized catalog and circulation system (Inlex). Therefore, all new materials being purchased are receiving full processing. Additionally, all materials previously processed for manual circulation were re-processed and entered into the Inlex database. CARLSBAD CITY LIBRARY centro de Informaci4n LSCA Quarterly Report October - December 1991 Page 3 3) A dedicated phone line was installed at the Centro for hook-up to the library's main computer system, and modems were ordered. The necessary hardware for hook-up with Inlex had not arrived by December 31, so during this quarter all circulation at the Centro was handled manually. this time period, the manual circulation system at the Centro necessitated that the categories for which circulation statistics were kept differed from those kept by computer at the Main Library. As soon as the Inlex system is in place at the Centro, circulation will not only be much easier but statistical analysis of which materials are being used at the Centro will be possible. 5) Circulation statistics for October to December 1991 are on the following page. 4) During CARLSBAD CITY LIBYY Centro de Informacion Page 4 LSCA Quarterly Report October - December 1991 CIRCULATION OF SPANISH-LANGUAGE MATERIALS October - December 1991 Oct.

CARLSBAD CITY LIB=,Y Centro de Inf ormacion LSCA Quarterly Report October - December 1991 Page 6 - . Outreach and Public Relations 1) Planning Commission Hearing, October 16 Library staff prepared a bilingual flyer explaining the purpose of the Planning Commissionls hearing about the libraryls application for a Conditional Use Permit. Bilingual staff and volunteers distributed the flyers throughout the downtown neighborhood and invited residents to attend the commission meeting and voice their opinions. b) At the Planning Commission meeting, 17 adults and 7 children from the downtown neighborhood attended, These included Coalition members, neighbors of the proposed site, and children and adults who had been attending Spanish storyhours and informational programs. c) Six community residents, including three who spoke through a translator, told the Commission how much the Centro was needed in their neighborhood. d) Commissioners voiced how impressed and moved they were by the residents' testimony, and they approved the application unanimously. a) 2) ODen House, November 23 a) Over 100 people attended an Open House held to officially celebrate the opening of the Centro on November 23. Mayor Lewis, City Council Member Stanton, City Manager Patchett, and Assistant City Manager Mannen were all able to attend. Neighborhood residents, agency representatives, library staff, the PFC team from Whittier Library, and many others were also present. b) . Pollos Maria restaurant donated refreshments. 3) Media coverage With the opening of the Centro, the PFC program received strong newspaper coverage this quarter: -Blade-Citizen, 10/17/91: article and photo about approval of Conditional Use Permit. -HisDanos Unidos, 10/22/91: article about Spanish storyhour. -San Dieso Tribune, 10/24/91: article about approval of Conditional Use Permit. -Carlsbad Journal, 10/31/91: article and photo about approval of Conditional Use Permit. -Blade-Citizen, 11/13/91: article and photo about opening of Centro. -San Dieso Union, 11/14/91: article and photo about CARLSBAD CITY LIBRARY Centro de Informaci6n LSCA Quarterly Report October - December 1991 Page 7 opening of Centro. -San Dieao Tribune, 11/14/91: article about opening of Centro. -Carlsbad Journal, 11/14/91: listing of Pacific Bell donation to Centro in City Council Digest. -Carlsbad Journal, 11/14/91: article and photo about Dia de 10s Muertos display. -Carlsbad Journal, 11/21/91: article and photo about opening of Centro. -Carlsbad Journal, 11/21/91: editorial applauding opening of Centro. -Blade-Citizen, 11/23/91 announcement of Centro Open House. -Blade-Citizen, 11/24/91: photo of Open House. -Carlsbad Journal, 12/12/91: photo of Open House. -Blade-Citizen, 12/22/91: "Letters to Santa" contest winner. -San Dieso Tribune, 12/27/91: article about possible eviction. 4) Public relations in other Drint media a) City of Carlsbad Parks and Recreation Department's fall activity catalog carried an article and photo about the opening of the Centro and the services it would offer. The article was in English and Spanish, the first time Spanish has been used in this publication. b) Flyers The library's monthly activity calendar began carrying the address, phone, and hours of the Centro. Monthly flyers giving information about Spanish storyhours and informational programs for adults were distributed through the elementary schools, at Lola's Market, and in other locations. In fact, one elementary school not previously receiving flyers called the Centro and requested that they be included in the future. Flyers were widely distributed advertising the Open House. A flyer giving the hours of the Centro was also distributed. Flyers advertising the Main Library's Club Bilingce activities were distributed through the schools. c) Bilingual invitations to the Open House were sent to all city officials, city departments, library CARLSBAD CITY LIBRARY Centro de Informacio'n LSCA Quarterly Report October - December 1991 Page 8 trustees, library staff, PFC libraries, Coalition members, partnership agencies, and the media. An announcement of the Open House appeared in the City Manager's newsletter of November 22. d) 5) Sianaae a) A monument sign was installed on the lawn in front of the Centro on November 22, in time for the Open House. eventually chosen for the Centro de Informacion effort. b) Signage indicating when the Centro is open, hours, etc. was installed. c) Inside the Centro, the staff created a very welcoming atmosphere, with the use of Spanish- language posters, labelling of shelves, and cultural decorations. Graphics on the sign inspired the logo 6) Loa0 a) After interviewing three local graphic design firms and obtaining bids, the library staff and the PFC Coalition chose Try-J Advertising to design the Centro's logo and stationery package. Fifteen logo designs were submitted by Try-J. Some of these were re-worked, and the library staff and Coalition made other suggestions. The final design chosen was, fortunately, the choice of everyone associated with the program: Coalition members, Centro staff, library trustees, and the Assistant City Manager. (Sample logo included in appendices) The design of a PFC logo for the library coincided with choosing a new logo for the entire library. Ideas developed during the PFC logo process will be used in design of an overall library logo. d) Stationery, business cards, imprinted pencils, and imprinted bookmarks for the Centro will include the new logo. resolution of whether the Centro will be moving or not. b) , management, library division heads, library c) Actual production is waiting on 7) Two photo albums, containing photos, clippings, and memorabilia of the PFC effort to date were prepared. 8) A letter describing the Centrols hours and services was CARLSBAD CITY LIBRARY Centro de Inf ormacidn LSCA Quarterly Report October - December 1991 Page 9 sent to all social, health, and educational agencies in the area when the Centro opened. Certificates of appreciation were sent to Pacific Bell, Fieldstone Corporation, and San Dieguito National Bank to thank them for their monetary donations to the Centro. 9) 10) Pacific Bell's donation of $750 to the Centro was presented to Mayor Lewis at the City Council meeting on November 12 by Pacific Bell's Community Relations Manager. cable channel. This event was also televised on the local 11) An International Festival was held at California State University, San Marcos, on October 27. The SER organization distributed information about the Centro at this event, along with information about other Hispanic services in the area. - e. Proarammincr and DisDlaYs 1) Displavs in the Main Library a) During October and November, a special display tellingiabout the Centro de Informacion was in a glass case by the circulation desk in the Main Library. b) During November, a display about Dfa de 10s Muertos was in the large wall display case in the Main Library. c) During December, the library's art wall was I devoted to displaying over 100 of the traditional "Ojos de Dios" decorations made by children during the Spanish storyhour and Club BilingGe at the Centro and the Main Library. 2) Club BilinsGe During the quarter, a new bilingual library clerk in the Main Library's Children's Department took over the semi-monthly Club de Ninos. The focus of this group was changed to an emphasis on instruction in use of library resources. The response from bilingual youth was very positive. Because those attending tended to be in upper elementary school and junior high, rather than small children, they chose to change the name of the group to "Club Bi1ingue.I' Department reports that attendance has been 30-40 youth every other Saturday. The Children's CARLSBAD CITY LIBRARY Centro de Informacih Page 10 LSCA Quarterly Report October - December 1991 3) Spanish Storyhours During October, the Centro staff organized several special events for the Spanish storyhours. included a Spanish-speaking magician, Spanish- These speaking clowns, a Halloween puppet show, and a Halloween party. Each storyhour included books read to the children tied in with the theme for the day. both children and adults. The Headstart program children and parents attended the puppet show. Because Halloween fell on a storyhour day, the Centro staff arranged for the children to trick- or-treat at nearby offices and businesses. The city's Parks and Recreation offices, Jack-in-the- Box, and Pollos Maria restaurant all had treats for the children. During the holiday season, the Centro staff was able to give each child at the Spanish storyhour a gift book to keep, thanks to generous donations from Fieldstone Corporation and San Dieguito National Bank. ~ The special programs proved popular with Attendance at Spanish storyhours for the quarter: Children 325 Adults 68 4) Library tour The Centro and Children's staff gave children and teachers of Carlsbad's Home Headstart program a tour and introduction to the Main Library's children's services. 5) "Letters to Santa" contest a. The Centro staff read about the "Letters to Santa" contest in the Blade-Citizen. They asked the newspaper if letters could be written in Spanish. Since none of the judges could read Spanish, the newspaper said that Spanish letters would need to be translated. The Centro staff encouraged children coming to the Centro to write letters. The staff translated those written in Spanish. b. Amanda Lissette Valdez, from the Centro, won third place in the contest, and her letter--in English and Spanish--was published in the newspaper, with her photo. CARLSBAD CITY LIBRAR,Y Centro de Inf ormacion LSCA Quarterly Report October - December 1991 Page 11 - f. Translations 1) 2) Translation of the community services directory was completed, and copies were printed and distributed. All of the Inlex screens appearing on the on-line public access catalog in the Main Library and Branch were translated into Spanish. Previously, the Inlex terminals had had Spanish screens provided by Inlex, but the translation was so poor that the Spanish screens were not of use. 3) The library brochure explaining how to use the Inlex system was translated into Spanish. 4) A bilingual flyer summarizing library services was prepared and distributed. Staff On December 20, 1991, the library's Community Relations Manager moved out of state. This position is under a hiring freeze, so a replacement cannot be hired for an undetermined length of time. The previous Community Relations Manager had done the bulk of the translating of library publications, had arranged for library displays, had handled contacting media and writing press releases, and had solicited donations to the library. Her responsibilities will have to be divided among remaining staff, which will probably slow the translation and public relations efforts. _. h. Library Policies and Procedures the Centro, library technical services staff have been worlcing with the Centro staff to establish procedures and policies that will benefit Centro patrons and also be consistent with Main Library practices. Some examples include length of borrowing period, fines and overdue notices, and treatment of audio-visual materials. 2) The Centro staff, Main Library children's staff, and library management met to discuss how the Centro and the Children's Department can work more closely to benefit Spanish-speaking children. One decision was to combine into one flyer information about Spanish storyhours at the Centro and information about the Club Bilingfie, to emphasize that both are library-sponsored. 1) In anticipation of installation of an Inlex terminal at CARLSBAD CITY LIBRARY Centro de Informaci6n LSCA Quarterly Report October - December 1991 Page 12 - i. Oncroinq Needs Assessment and Evaluation In November, the library's Collections Coordinator surveyed patrons at the Main Library, Branch Library, and Centro to find out if patrons were finding the materials they sought. Statistics of the survey of 20 patrons at the Centro were: Title fill rate 50% (% of titles sought that were found) (% of specific subjects or authors sought that were found) (% of patrons who found something of interest during visit) (% of patrons who asked staff for assistance during visit) Subject/author fill rate 17 % Browser fill rate 100% Asked for assistance 96% The low title, subject, and author fill rates reflect the small size of the Centro collection. When the Inlex terminal is installed, Centro patrons will be able to see what is available at the Main and Branch libraries, and the Centro staff may be able to reserve materials or have materials transferred so that more patrons' needs are met. Perhaps the most significant statistic is that showing how many patrons at each site surveyed asked staff for assistance. The comparisons are: ASKED STAFF FOR ASSISTANCE Main 39% Branch 46% Centro 96% This comparison shows that a majority of patrons at the Main and Branch libraries are finding what they need without asking staff for assistance. In contrast, virtually every Centro patron is asking for assistance. The personalized guidance available at the Centro, in Spanish, cannot now be duplicated at the Main Library, where staff are already stretched to the limit and very few speak Spanish. The implication is that it may take quite some time for the Centro patrons to make the transition to using the Main Library, with its very different style of self-help. The CARLSBAD CITY LIBYY Centro de Informacion LSCA Quarterly Report October - December 1991 Page 13 library will need to give serious consideration to these results. j, Communitv Coalition As always, the Community Coalition continued to be actively involved in the planning and implementation of the Centro program. Coalition members spoke at the Planning Commission, helped plan and host the Open House, helped choose the logo, and helped publicize all the Centro's activities. The Coalition continued to meet monthly at Lola's Market. Corporate donations a) Pacific Bell donated $750 to the Centro to use as b) Fieldstone Corporation donated $200 and San needed. Dieguito National Bank donated $100 to purchase Spanish-language storybooks to give to the children attending the Spanish storyhour during the holiday season. Pollos Marta restaurant donated refreshments during the Open House. c) Individual donations Private individuals in the community donated a television, a VCR, and a refrigerator to the Centro. Citv contributions The City of Carlsbad supplied most of the Centro's furniture from its warehouse inventory, a new phone answering machine, and the labor for upgrading the facility and its ongoing cleaning and maintenance. Consultations Library staff were consulted by representatives of Hospice and North County Interfaith Council about Hispanic needs in the community and the model of the Centro de Informacion. Human service asencies The Centro staff continues to work closely with service agencies and schools, making referrals, distributing agency literature, arranging for programs. Increasingly, agencies are calling the Centro--rather than the opposite--to ask about making presentations at the Centro.

City officials are working with the library and the property owner to resolve these questions. The library is also exploring alternative sites. 2. The library ' s Community Relations Manager moved out-of-state the end of December. This position, along with all other vacant city positions, is now under a hiring freeze.

BOX 942837 SACRAMENTO, CA 94237-0001 MEMORANDUM Vs/ TELEPHONE: (916) 445-2585 TO: California Public Library Directors FROM: Gary E. Strong California State Librarian DATE December 13, 1991 I want to apprise you of steps being taken to avert the potential loss of federal Library Services and Construction Act (LSCA) Title I funds for 1992/1993. Please forgive this memorandum form, which saves time over individually addressed letters. As you may know, the entire program of public library service grants under LSCA Title I, including MURL and PFC, is in jeopardy for the coming year due to new federal regulations. The State must now show a maintenance of effort (MOE) in its assistance to local public libraries, and because of current economic conditions and State budget cutbacks, this is something we cannot do. As one example, the Public Library Fund (PLF) of direct State grants to public libraries went from $20 million in 1989 to $16 million in 1990 to $10 million in 1991. On the federal level, I have just sent individual letters to each of our 45-member Congressional delegation, itemizing every current LSCA project or award made in his or her district. I have also alerted them to the coming problem with Title I in 1992/93. Your Representative may be contacting you about this situation. I have not copied each of you with the letter sent, because of the considerable clerical task this entails. If anyone does wish a copy of the letter sent to a Representative, I will be glad to supply it on request. Additionally, I have requested of the federal Department of Education a waiver for a second year of the MOE requirements for Title I. At the time we were granted the waiver and received this year’s funds, we were told that granting of a second waiver for similar reasons, the economic downturn, would be problematic. It is not yet clear what additional documentation the federal government will require in order to consider a second waiver; but we will supply everything we can, when we can. -2- On the State level, I have submitted Budget Change Proposals for increase of PLF and for CLSA and other State-funded activities that would help our MOE problem with the federal government. It will not be known if any of them are accepted until we see the Governor’s budget. Even if successful, those remedies would affect the 1993/94 year, not 1992/93 which is our current problem. It may be that we will have to seek direct relief from Congress. If any of you is on close terms with a Representative, or one of our Senators, and think he or she could be of help in this situation, I would be glad to hear from you. I will send further news about the Title I situation when I have something to report.-- -As previously noted, LSCA Titles I1 and 111 are not affected, and we should get our 1992 allotment fir those without difficulty.
