MONTHLY LIBRARY DIVISION HEADS REPORTS
President Curtin referred to the reports contained in the packet and asked for comments or questions.
Library Board Trustee Woodward asked about the results of the preparedness drill held by the Library
Geoff Armour reported that they had tried to illvolve all types of disasters; i.e., earthquake, resulting in fire.
resulting in bunl-er pipes. The idea was to have staff members respond to the problems and to know
their responsibUMos It was found that many of the people did not know what they were supposed to do
and Mr. Armour hm now prepared a simplified checklist which gives the chain of command and the key
problems to be- *ressed. This list also tells the responsibilities assigned to staff members and the
locations of first aid kits, flashlights, etc. Mr. Armour said there will be another drill in the near future
Chris HoR stated that the same problems were discovered at the Branch Library, and that staff members
were confused as to just how to proceed.
Mr. Armour added that the other departments of the Library, such as the Centro, the AduR Learning, the
Media and Graphics are all tied into other City departments or private sector buildings. The Library IS
proceeding with training for staff outside of the Library, with CPR and First Aid classes.

MONTHLY UBRARY DIVISION HEADS REPORTS (Continued)
Dr. Lange stated that the damage from Monday’s earthquake has closed the Cal State Northridge Library
indefinitely, with Simi Valley and Moorpark Libraries both having structural damage, as well as books on
the floor. He said that the drill held at the Libraries was a good experience and made everyone realize
what needed to be done to be prepared for any disaster.
President Curtin stated that the drill did two things; what was learned as the drill was conducted; and
what plans the staff has made to implement the things that were learned in a further training session.
Board Trustee Woodward commented that the division heads reports are excellent and very helpful to
Board Members.
President Curtin stated he would like more information on the Braille Institute screenings, and how often
they are held. Dr. Lange said at the present time they are held every other month, and he does not know
whether that will increase with the facility in San Diego taking over the screenings this year. He will
research this further.
LIBRARY BOARD COMMENTS
Board Trustee Woodward stated he would like to comment for Board Trustee Moss, who is absent today.
Ms. Moss had stated she would be interested in seeing some way that a tour could be arranged such as the one that was made previously to CALTAC. She would also like to attend an orientation session
at Serra, z :; 4 -
Dr. Lange said there will be a CALTAC workshop on Saturday, March 5, and all Trustees should have
received a flyer announcing this. This will be at the main library in Los Angeles, which did not receive any
damage in the earthquake.
LITERACY GRANT FROM THE CALIFORNIA LIBRARY LITERACY SERVICE FOR FISCAL YEAR 1993-94
Dr. Lange reported that the grant was received in the amount of $25,167 for the City Library Adult
Learning Program. This grant will be used to enhance the computer lab in the Adult Learning Division
In reply to Board query, Or. Lange stated that the State budget submitted by the Governor on January
7 did not cut any Literacy or Library money. However, the Legislature could make changes in that.
LIBRARY COFFEE SHOP PROPOSAL
Dr. Lange stated tnet staff is still exploring this proposal and looking at all the options. The proposal that was included in th. packet came to the Library off the street. A gentleman came into the Library and
talked with Gedf kmour about this and came back with this proposal.
Dr. Lange said there are mixed reviews on the part of staff, with concerns about the noise, congestion and
the number of people in and out of the Library during a single day. He said the use of the atrium for this
is becoming less likely, due to the smallness of the area and the difficulty there would be in trying to keep
the people out of the Library with any food and coffee cups. Dr. Lange stated he had talked wrth the
Manager of a local coffee shop and the man indicated he would like to do some work on this idea.
-- ..
Board Trustee Woodward said that Trustee Moss had told him that she wants to know whether the Library
has any rooms that would meet the criteria for a coffee shop, and Dr. Lange indicated this would probably
involve a cart such as the one outside Nordstrom’s at North County Fair.

LIBRARY COFFEE SHOP PROPOSAL: (Continued)
In response to query regarding the modification of the bathrooms to allow for this type of use, Geoff
Armour said the bathrooms are being modified through a grant to comply with the Americans with
Disabilities Act. He said that a commissary is necessary in order to have a place to-clean the equipment
at night, and this requirement might prove to be a problem for the Library, as there is no large kitchen
facillty there.
Ann Lessenger, who represents the Espresso coffee bars in the Lucky Stores, stated that they are allowed
to use the sinks in the bakery or produce departments at Lucky's in order to comply with the requirements
of the Health Department. She said the Health Department inspects when a coffee bar is opened and
then follows that with inspections every six months. A three-compartment sink is what is required in order
to have a place to clean the equipment every night.
President Curtin stated that his original impression was that this was being considered for the new library,
but since it obviously is being considered for the Library here, he would share some of the concerns. Or.
Lange said the new library will be located by the La Costa Roasting Shops and will not need any coffee
bar. Dr. Curtin inquired whether the library at San Leandro, where Dr. Lange saw this coffee cart, was as active a library as the one in Carlsbad, and Dr. Lange said they were grossing one thousand dollars
a week in revenue from the coffee. Dr. Curtin said he would be concerned if the people came into the
Library and stayed longer, particularly with the large number of patrons the Library serves each day.
Mr. Armour said one plan is to locate the cart out on the west side of the building and not have the coffee in the main Library. He added that staff members prefer locating the coffee outside of the building. The
comment was made that there would probably be quite a number of people from City Hall who would use
the coffee cart.
The Board discussed the different possibilities as far as a cart and whether to have more than coffee
available, with the consensus of the Board Members to have Dr. Lange pursue this item further and return
with more information.
Board Member McCann suggested that it would be nice to be able to get the reaction to such a venture
with a trial period. This would also allow some experimentation with the location of the cart.
Ms. Lessenger said that they had a trial period of six months with the Lucky stores.
President Curtin said staff had the concept to work on; the location; and would this be done by the Library
or some other group. Or. Lange said the Friends of the Library do not want to do this and the staff of the
Library does nat have the time to take on another task. He felt the best option is to contract it out.
Board Member Woodward stated that he and Board Member Moss had discussed this matter and both
were interested in pursuing it, but felt more information was necessary about the bathrooms; the
availability of el&t&al per outside of the building. They felt more engineering information was needed.
President Curtin inquired about the upgrading of the bathrooms schedule, and Or. Lange said there is
an update in today's packet. The Maintenance Department is reviewing the plans at this time. Chuck
Walden is the Project Manager, and Or. Lange said he felt they will approve the proposed layout. The
target date for completion is July 1, 1994.
Mr. Armour stated that nothing could be done about the coffee cart until the bathrooms are brought up
to handicapped codes.

I LIBRARY COFFEE SHOP PROPOSAL
Board Member McCann said that other Ctty Departments need to be contacted and some fixed costs
determined.
President Curtin stated that the consensus of the Board was to have more information in the next report
on the concerns expressed by the different Board Members.
LA COSTA BRANCH Ll6RARY REPORT
Chris Holt, Branch Library Manager, gave a report on the move to the new location by distributing a
calendar for December and January showing exactly what happened each day. She referred to a fact
sheet showing the statistics for the first week in the new location. Ms. Holt said that the Branch Library
was closed for three weeks, and obviously the public missed them, so a large number of people came
in during the first week, with over 900 people the first day they were open. The reaction to the new site
has been very positive, with one out of every three asking when the new library will be built.
PROPOSED AMNESTY PERIOD
Dr. Lange reported that the idea of an amnesty period is one that the Library staff considers from time
to time in order to get books and material returned to the Library that would otherwise never be returned.
He stated he is not a fan of doing an amnesty period, because people will wait for it. However, it does
give the Library high visibility and publiitty, and helps to ease some of the negative ideas some people
have with regard to the Library. Or. Lange said this is a policy issue, and therefore it is before the Board
for a recommendation. He referred to the sample brochure included in the packet which would be similar
to any brochure released for this amnesty period.
ACTK)N: On motion by Board Trustee Woodward, the Library Board recommended having a
period of time set aside as an amnesty period for the public to return items to the
Library without paying a penalty.

AMERICANS WITH DlSABlLlllES ACT REMODEL PROGRESS REPORT
Dr. Lange referred to a complete set of plans he had with him showing the proposed layout for the
remodeling of the restrooms at the Library. He also referred to the sketch included in the packet, which
showed that there will be less facilities to be utilized when the remodeling is finished. He reiterated that
the remodeling is scheduled to be completed by July of 1994.
Dr. Lange rep&& the Library is in the process of going out to bid for an offset press for the Graphics
Division, which will also be used by the Parks and Recreation Department. The self-checkout machine
is to be ordered. Staff are still working on a strategic pian, with task forces being organized. There will
be an update on this in February.
Dr. Lange stated that Janell Cannon's book is now in the fifth or sixth printing and has been selected in
the United States as the best picture book of the year by children's booksellers.
January 19,1994 LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES Page 5
DIRECTORS REPCXV: (Continued)
Geoff Armour referred to the statistics report in the packet, calling attention to the fact that this involved
the statistics for two months; November and December. The December count was down, due to the fact
that the Branch Library was not functioning two weeks of that month, and this December had two less
working days than the previous December.
FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY:
Barbara Otwell reported there will be a book sale on this coming Saturday, January 22, 1994, in front of
the Library. There will be a meeting of the Friends tomorrow.
No report.
Board Member Woodward reported that due to the funding for the libraries and problems with AB 566,
the Serra Board felt it is necessary to get together with the legislators in California and have a Local
Legislative Day for San Oiego County. This is tentatively planned for March 25, but that may change. Dr.
Lange stated the date is the same, but the affair has been changed from a breakfast to a reception. Mr.
Woodward said it is hoped that the Friends of the Library would work with the different libraries, trustees,
etc., to get the legislators to understand how the libraries need money to stay open. There will be a State
Legislative Day in May.
Dr. Lange stated that everyone will be invited to attend the March 25 meeting.
PUBUC COMMENT:
None.

By proper motion, the Regular Meeting of January 19, 1994, was adjourned at 4:16 p.m.

His message to approximately 60 bilingual high school students was the extreme importance of education and seeking help if they are having problems.
_. 4. Consultations Program coordinator Lynda Jones had meetings during the month with 2 junior high/high school teachers from public schools in the area. Both have students in their classes who are reading far below grade level, but the junior high/high schools do not have programs for instructing students in basic reading skills. Lynda provided materials for assessing the students' reading skills and helped the teachers develop plans and methods for assisting the students to improve their reading.

ADULT LEARNING PROGRAM
Monthly Report
December 1993
1. Tutor Traininq Four new tutors were trained December 4, 6, and 9. This was the smallest training in the 10 years of the Adult Learning Program. Other literacy programs in the county, state, and nation are experiencing the same low numbers of volunteers,
and some programs have had to cancel trainings for lack of volunteers.
2. Learner Intake Intake of adult learners needing to improve their skills remains strong in this program and throughout the county, state, and nation. By the end of December, this program had
25 learners waiting for tutors. At the county Literacy Network meeting on December 8, program representatives discussed options, such as small group instruction, for coping with the demand.
3. San Diecro Council on Literacy
a. The Council received a grant of $3000 from the County Employees I Charitable Organization with which to link all county literacy programs via computer. b. Plans were made during December for cooperative
programming for adult learners in this program and in READ 2000, the adult literacy program of Escondido Public Library. In 1994, adult learners in North County will be able to participate in the GOALS program offered by the San Diego Council on Literacy in metropolitan San Diego during 1993. This is a series of 6 monthly workshops on such topics as motivation, goal setting, responsibility and perseverance, and leadership and team work. Workshop locations will alternate between Carlsbad and Escondido.
4. Oceanside Public Library
The Oceanside Public Library received a memorial donation to be used to purchase books for their adult literacy collection. Coordinator Lynda Jones prepared a list of suggested titles to buy. Some tutors and learners in this program live in Oceanside, and the Oceanside Library has always maintained an adult literacy collection, as well as provided tutoring space at their main and branch libraries,
5. Casa Raphael Casa Raphael, located in San Marcos, is a transitional living/training facility for homeless men. On December 14, Coordinator Lynda Jones met at the facility with the senior case manager. Two residents in need of literacy skills were interviewed for placement with tutors.

DECEMBER 1993
Over half a million patrons visited the Carlsbad City Library during the calendar year of 1993. One can only assurne
that the popularity of the library is due in part to the
wonderful collactian and to the Assistant Director Geoff Armour
and to the award winning Director Cliff Lange. Kudos alsc go to
the efficient, friendly staff. In this report, just 2 of the
nany favorable comments given by patrons have been included.
"It is a pietisure to use this library, All
who helped me are dedicated, cheerful, and
above all, professional. Thar!k you!"
Bill Ryan 12/93
"I've been using this library for over 20 years, and it always has had a pleasant
atmosphere amongst employees..,Helpful and pleasant with that willinqnesr to
take that little extra trouble with the
patron which really is the way of this
library, Thank you."
Linda Swiniand 12/93
With the close of the year, the Circulation Division would
like to extend its heartfelt thanks to the volunteers who worked
so diligently and selflessly. Those volunteers are:
Loretta Seckman Jean Belin
John Grigsby
Rian Hoover
Judith Kemp
Barbara Otwe 11
Harold Otwell Jason Perkins
Frank Stobie Irma Stobie
Jonathan Whisenhunt John Woodard
As you can see, is some instances volunteering is a family affair. It should be noted also that John Woodard is a student
at UC Santa Cruz and spent his day hours of his winter holiday
volunteering at the library. He felt that his library experience
was so rewarding that during his spring break he will return as a
Carlsbad City Library volunteer.
Undoubtedly, the Carlsbad City Library is one of the most
fortunate libraries in the state of California. The strong
support of its volunteers and patrons contribute immeasurably to its success.

Following the library's Disaster Preparedness drill early in the month, Technical Services staff met to analyze our responses and fine-tune our disaster procedures. While the first priority will always be the safety of people in the building, we also discussed ways to safeguard equipment and library materials in the event of various natural disasters such as earthquake or fire and how to handle more localized problems with the computer system, such as power outages and telecommunications breakdowns.
Technical Services Rapart
December 1993
In December, Technical Services staff added 942 books and
192 audiovisual items to the library's collection, A total of
666 books and 130 A-V items were withdrawn from the collection.
Library users with computers made 251 calls to the library's
dial-up catalog in November; in addition, the library catalog was
accessed through Main Street on Daniels Cablevision 289 times.
Early in December, Mary Sasso attended the annual INLEX
Users Group Conference, the first one to be held since INLEX, our
integrated online system, was acquired by another company, DRA.
According to representatives from both companies, DRA will
continue to maintain the ImEX product. INLEX will remain based
in California at least until mid-1995. Further announcements
about plans for the future of the company are expected in March.
For the last few mmths, Technical Services processing staff
has been experimenting with a new laminated cover designed to
reinforce the covers of paperback books. In the past, paperback
books that were judged to be of long-term interest were rebound
in hard covers, an expensive procedure. Paperbacks that weren't
rebound typically had a very short life span. As an experiment,
the laminated covers were applied to cataloged paperbacks to see
if they would last longer than uncovered books.
books so treated appear to be holding up well and are in better condition that would otherwise be expected. The new covers cost from $.90 to $2.00 per book, depending on size, a considerable
savings over the $5.00 to $10.00, or more, that rebinding casts. Another benefit is speed, Since the covers are applied by our
staff, the books are available immediately, whereas rebinding typically takes a month. We will still bind the paperbacks that we want to keep for a long time, but the laminated covers will be
used for titles that date quickly, such as annual travel guides,
frequently updated legal books, and telephone directories.

1. Summary Statement
The Espresso Garden would be located in the garden in the center of the Carlsbad Public Library. It would sell freshly brewed gourmet coffee drinks (espresso,
cappuccino, caffe latte, caffe mocha, etc ...), hot
chocolate, fruit juices, and softdrinks. It could also sell snacks, baked goods and perhaps light sandwiches. The cart would service all library patrons and employees and Carlsbad City employees who work next door. Library would receive a percentage of Espresso Garden's gross sales as rent.

grew from approximately $45 million in the 1960'9, to $1.5 billion in 1989 and is projected to be over $3 billion by
1999. Today, adults are skipping the afternoon martini or beer for a more healthy beverage - caffeinated or decaffeinated. All across the country establishments such as bookstores, shopping malls and medical centers are
joining forces with espresso cart entrepreneurs to offer
their clients and employees upscale and inviting
"mini-cafes". Employees enjoy getting away from their
desks for a break and employers are happy to have these
carts near by. Work productivity improves. Libraries,
retailers and medical centers improve their image and
client relations by providing a comfortable and attractive
place to relax with "European" charm. It sets them apart
from other employers and companies by creating goodwill from the people in the building and those visiting.

This "mini-caf e" will turn the library's garden into a revenue resource. Public relations will greatly improve as the library offers a unique (upscale) service with European charm to its clients. The employees of the City of Carlsbad will also be able to frequent the Espresso Garden because of it proximity. This will be a convenience to them and an increase in revenues for the library. The Espresso Garden will be able to cater affairs as well. Should the library or City of Carlsbad be hosting a reception, special meeting or conference, the Espresso Garden can easily cater the event with specialty coffees and snacks such as brownies, muffins, scones, or cookies.

This cart will be owner operated and managed. If the library management has a special request or need, it will not need to fight red tape to get to the owner. He will be there every day. In this way, they can work together to provide customers a service they appreciate and enjoy while also ensuring the continued effective and smooth operation of the library.
Lastly, and certainly not least, should the library administration support the idea of discounting prices for its employees, the Espresso Garden would gladly oblige.
'4. The Espresso Garden's Program
a. Permits and Location Requirements
The Espresso Garden cart is completely self-contained. The espresso machine is supplied by a fully-sealed water system built into the cart. also provides hot and cold running water to the hand sink at a temperature suitable for hand washing.
Perirhables are stored in the commercial grade refrigerator which is also contained in the cart. Tthe cart will require electrical wiring (usually 22OV, 50 Amp, 4wire, single phase receptacle). Most
It
in-houae maintenance staff would be able to put this in. A commissary is required so that the equipment can be properly cleaned, and a bathroom must be available within 150 feet of the cart. Lastly, the cart itself will need to be secured and stored after hours.
b. Promotions Strategies
Our strongest sales promotion will be in offering a consistently superior cup of espresso. Today's consumer is also service oriented and prefers friendly and helpful salespeople. We are committed to courteous service.
Signage is essential in promoting the Espresso Garden, as are introductory offers. During our grand opening, we will offer samples of our: drinks and various discounts. We will send out press releases to the local papers and place a coupon or discount in any weekly or monthly mailers that the library sends. Often, roasters offer promotional items such as gift packs, cups, cup holders, t-shirts, etc... We would gladly participate in such programs. Perhaps the library and the Espresso Garden co-advertise by creating a novelty item customized with both logos. Lastly, we can do our share in contributing to the recycling effort by offering a 5% discount per drink to customers who bring in their own cups.
c. Management and Operation
The Espresso Garden will be owner-managed. Initially, its hours of operation will be those of the library. After a while, the owner and library management will discuss appropriate standard hours of operation to maximize profitability. The set-up,
preparation, operation, and cleaning and take-down of the cart and its "peripherals" (i.e. customer chairs and tables) will be the sole responsibility of the ESpre880 Garden. The maintenance of the garden area (i.e. patio and greenery will continue to be the responsibility of the Library.
