MONTHLY LIBRARY DIVISION HEADS REPORT
President Woodward referred to the reports contained in the packet, and asked for comments or
questions.
President Woodward inquired about the Research Section and whether there are more out-of-state or out-
of-town people using that section. Dr. Lange explained that it is seasonal, according to when the tourists
are in Carlsbad. He said that the Genealogy section is the one used the most by those people, and you
do not need a library card. Dr. Lange added that the libraries in California have agreed if a patron has a
library card from somewhere else in California or a local address, they will issue a library card. Library
services are open to anyone in the State, no matter where they may live.
LIBRARY BOARD COMMENTS
None.

ELECTION OF OFFICERS
ACTION: On motion by President Woodward, the Library Board of Trustees elected Trustee
Moss as President and Trustee L'Heureux as Vice President for the next year.
AYES: Woodward, Curtin and L'Heureux
President Woodward stated that he has been elected Vice-chairman of the Serra Advisory Board for San
Diego.
LIBRARY STRATEGIC PLAN
Dr. Lange stated that the report included in the packet is the result of many meetings and a lot of effort.
He asked for reactions and/or questions from the Board Members.
Board Trustee Curtin stated that in the Values Statement, where it states: "These values guarantee to the
community and to ourselves . . . . .", it is not possible to "guarantee" this and the wording should be
changed.
Dr. Lange stated he is very pleased with this report, as it is the first time since he has been with the City
where a group of staff worked together and pulled together to produce this document, and they are
continuing in that spirit to work together to achieve those goals. He said that part of the research was a
staff survey, with about 60 replies on ways to do things better. There was a staff meeting, with the largest
attendance ever, with the focus on discussing this plan. The group broke into five discussion groups to
review this document. Dr. Lange said he asked for volunteers from the staff to go through all the
responses of the staff survey, and there were 13 volunteers who were given assignments to go through
the results and pick out the items that could be initiated quickly. He said that next Tuesday morning he
will meet with that group to discuss strategies for immediate changes. There is a lot of energy created
due to this study and Dr. Lange said he believes that there will be significant progress.
Geoff Armour commented that one item appeared under every goal, and that was "training", and was the
first priority. He said this should involve orientation and cross-training for flexibility of the Library staff.
Board Trustee Curtin inquired about the community involvement and wheth.er volunteers are taking the
place of paid employees that were there previously.
Geoff Armour stated that there is a tremendous volunteer effort in the Library, equivalent to eight part-time
staff members.
Dr. Lange added that the volunteers make a major contribution to the Library.
Dr. Lange stated that the original concept for libraries was that no one could afford to buy all the
information needed, so resources were pooled and the taxes supported the libraries, enabling everyone
to have access to the information they need. This is one reason people say they do not feel they should
have to pay to check out a book.
Board Trustee Curtin commented about services, whether medic

Mr. Armour stated that the document before the bard today will be converted into a booklet and mass
produced for the public, with the detailed action plans in binders for internal use. This booklet should be
ready within the next week or two.
PROPOSED LIBRARY FOUNDATION UPDATE
Dr. Lange gave a brief report, stating he has been working with an Attorney to draft a set of by-laws and
articles of incorporation, and those will have to be reviewed. He said he has a list of potential people to
talk with about this foundation. However, the City Council also has an idea to establish a community
foundation, and Dr. Lange has been asked to table this for a week or two to allow them to consider this.
He said that City staff is researching community foundations in other cities, and have found that many of
them are failures. Dr. Lange stated that foundations must be community based--not city based-or they
are in danger of failing.
STATUS OF COFFEE CART PROPOSAL
Dr. Lange referred to a memorandum sent to the Board Members telling them that the City does not want
to earmark the revenue that would be received from the coffee cart. He said the alternatives are to 1) not
do the coffee cart at all; or, 2) have the Friends of the Library take this over and have them provide the
coffee cart, or 3) have the City put the revenue from the coffee cart into the General Fund. There may be
some legal pitfalls about the Friends contracting out a service in a City facility. Dr. Lange felt the Friends
would be willing to do this, but their Executive Committee needs to be consulted.
Dr. Lange said that if the Friends were in charge of the coffee cart, then the Library could ultimately realize
their portion of the revenue. He said the decision needs to be made to either have the cart with the
revenue going tu the City: have the Friends sponsor the cart; or not have the coffee cart at all.
Board Members expressed concern that if the City took the revenue whether that revenue would come
back to the Library in the budget. Dr. Lange said he felt the coffee cart should be tried, and the contract
calls for an initial six-month trial period. He said that if it proved to be a failure, there is an escape clause.
The contract is renewable after the six months, for a period of one year, but it still has an escape clause.
Board Trustee Curtin stated that if the renewable periods of time are not very long, he felt the enforcement
of the terms of the contract become much easier. He suggested modifying the length of renewal to six
months. However, he said his recommendation would be to shelve the plans for a period of time. Board
Trustee Woodward concurred.
Dr. Lange stated that there are 17 or 18 vendors who want to bid on providing the coffee cart. He said
he thought the Library could keep the revenue, but since the City does not want that, the easiest way
would be to have the cart and turn the money over to the General Fund and take their chances with the
budget.
Board Trustee McCann stated that if the coffee cart made money and was on a short-term lease, he would
support trying it.
Geoff Armour stated that they need to go through the process with the Friends to determine whether they
want to have the cart and what the legal pitfalls might be as well as the ramifications in having the Friends
as contractor with outside firms.
August 16,1995 LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES Page 4
STATUS OF COFFEE CART PROPOSAL (Continued)
ACTION: On motion by Board Trustee Curtin, the Library Board requested staff to proceed
with the process through the Board of the Friends of the Library to determine
whether the Friends would be willing to be responsible for the coffee cart, and to
determine from the City any legal ramifications or pitfalls that might be present if the
Friends were to contract with outside firms for the cart in the Library,
AYES: Woodward, Curtin, L'Heureux and McCann
REVISED RULES OF CONDUCT POLICY FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL
Dr. Lange reported that the rules had been reviewed by the City Attorney's office and they made some
suggestions.
Geoff Armour stated that the changes were at the bottom of the page, where it had been stated, first
offense, second offense, third offense, etc. The Attorney felt that it would not be possible to determine
whether it was the first, second, or third offense, and that it would be better to incorporate the violation
statements under a general heading.
Board Trustee Curtin stated he was not pleased with the statement: "We are happy to have you use the
library." He felt that service should be emphasized, and maybe a statement such as: "We are here to
serve you.", would be better.
DIRECTORS REPORT:
Dr. Lange stated the Library is planning an Open House for the school teachers, tentatively, on September
1. There will be a continental breakfast served and several staff members will make presentations. This
will give the teachers an opportunity to walk around the Library and become familiar with the services
there. This would be on Friday, at 7:30 a& and they are waiting for the Superintendent to give final
approval. .
President Woodward suggested that the Rules of Conduct be a part of the materials given to the teachers.
Dr. Lange reported that he is serving on a Committee of eight City staff members that is in the process
of reviewing the financial information software. The City is going to buy new soft and hardware to bring
their financial record keeping up to the 21st century.
Or. Lange stated that the new carpeting is installed and they have received a lot of compliments from the
public. The City Manager paid two visits to the Library and also spent time at the Literacy Center and the
Centro. He was very impressed with both the Literacy Center and the Centro.
Dr. Lange stated that soon patrons will be able to dial in from home to place their own reserves. He said
the summer reading program is winding up this week and there was a total of 2,487 in attendance. The
attendance at children's programs during the summer was very high and the programs were very
successful. Staff is working on the hookup between the Branch and the Main Library for access to CD
Rom, and they have applied to Pacific Bell for lines to do that.
Dr. Lange reported that they are going to start a new library newsletter, as staff has wanted to do this for
some time. Dr. Lange stated he is to give a speech at the Women's Club in September.

ADULT LEARNING PROGRAM
Monthly Report
June 1995
- 1. Tutor Orientation
On June 12, the first Tutor Orientation was held. Sixteen potential tutors were
given a 3-hour overview of adult literacy, adult learners' lives, requirements to be
a tutor, and the Adult Learning Program. The orientation was conducted by
Coordinator Lynda Jones, volunteer tutor Came Scott, VISTA volunteer Shirley
Taylor, and 2 adult learners. At the conclusion of the orientation, volunteers who
decided to make the commitment to tutor could register for tutor training. Tutor
Orientations will be held once a month in the future.
2, Tutor Training
The first revised Tutor Training was conducted the evenings of June 26 and 27.
Trainings are limited to 6 trainees at a time because much of the training takes
place in the computer lab. Trainees are paired and each pair has its own trainer,
who works intensively with the pair, both in the computer lab and in the
classroom.
3- New Furniture
On June 2, new chairs were delivered for the classrooms, computer lab, and
offices. One surprise with the new dividers and room arrangements has been that
the noise level has actually increased, rather than decreased. Monitoring has
shown that people are not talking louder than before. The best explanation
(offered by a learner in construction) is that the dividers are funneling the sound
up to the ceiling and it then travels all Over the room (as the learner said: like
when you roll up papers and speak through them like as megaphone.")
4- Union-Mune
On June 9, learner John Lopez was featured in Tom Cushman's sports column in
the Union-Tribune, along with boxing champion George Foreman. The column
dealt with successful athletes whose educations were ignored while their sports
talents were nurtured.
- 5. READ/San Diego Annual Tutor Conference
On June 10, thirteen volunteer tutors from our program and Coordinator Lynda
Jones were among 300 literacy tutors and staff at the annual READ/San Diego
Tutor Conference in La Jolla. A full day of workshops offered training on
teaching spelling, auditory learning problems, and other useful topics.
Adult Learning Program
June 1995 Page 2
Readinp Grouu
Three adult learners were talking informally about the library books they were
each reading and had the idea to start having a designated time to read together.
VISTA volunteer Shirley Taylor developed a format and trained a volunteer tutor
to continue facilitating the group. The three learners and their tutor now meet
weekly to read and discuss poetry, short nonfiction articles, and (their favorite)
plays, in which each person reads one or more characters' parts. This model will
probably be used to start additional small reading groups.
San Diwo Council on Literacv Board
Each Board member of the San Diego Council on Literacy is matched with a
particular local literacy program for 6 months at a time, to become more familiar
with the actual literacy work being conducted. On June 13, Board member Mary
Colaccico visited the Adult Learning Program. Ms. Colaccico is
Presidenmecutive Director of the Travelers' Aid Society in San Diego and lives
in Carlsbad.
citv's Obsolete Eaubment
On June 6, the City Council considered an ordinance change proposed by the
Purchasing Department to allow donation of obsolete or surplus equipment to
nonprofit organizations. The Council rejected this ordinance change by a vote of 3-2. This action means that the Adult Learning Program will need to find another
means of providing computer-based literacy instruction at Pegasus West, a day
treatment facility for chronically mentally ill adults.

Main Library and the Centro de Informaci6n can offer to them. They also received
information about the Summer Reading Program.

about the two later appearances at Centro and Branch. Programs such as this draw many
people into the library who might not normally come and this gives staff an opportunity
to involve children in reading and the reading program. There were literally hundreds
of registrations for Summer Reading Program on that day. Many thanks to the Friends

LA COSTA BRANCH LIBRARY Monthly Report June, 1995
CIRCULATION
Branch circulation totaled 24,364 for June. This total included
12,355 adult items, 9,049 children's items and 2,960 video tapes. Daily circulation was 937 and daily, 88. This is a 19% increase in total circulation over June of 1994.
USERS
This month's user count was 20,261. The average daily was 779 and hourly, 73. Unfortunately this can not be compared with last year since the people counter was out of order 3 weeks during June of 1994.
WHILE MAIN WAS CLOSED
The La Costa Branch Library had the unique experience of being the only public library open in town from June 16 to June 26. During this time circulation and user counts were inflated but not extroardinarily. However, phone calls and reference questions were extremely high in number. Reference questions increased 64% over the same period in June of 1994. Main library reference staff helped fill in for vacationing Branch part of this time. This was a good opportunity to share ideas and gain more understanding of each facility.
PAWS TO READ
The 1995 Children's Summer Reading Program began with a roar on Monday, June 26. By the end of the first day 132 children had registered. By the end of the day on June 30, 270 children had joined the program. This has already established itself as the largest group in the history of the Branch. Because of staff time, children may only report between noon and 5 Monday through Saturday. The enthusiasm expressed by these children promises that a lot of books will be read this summer.

The Carisbad Library reference
department is just a phone call away
with those answers, and a whole lot

“We answer about 300 questions

the reference department in the city’s
main library at 1250 Carlsbad Village

per week. We answer all sorts of

Actually, Kennedy said the refer-

“We usually handle people in the

In June, Technical Services staff added 674 books and 550 audiovisual items to the library's collection. A total of 644 books and 282 A-V items werz withdrawn from the collection.
Patrons with computers used the dial-access catalog 314 times in
June. Main Street usage was 173.
Following the City Council's approval of the purchase of a piece of software called the Inlex Reporter, Chris Pickavet and Mary Sasso attended training in the use of the software at Inlex's
Monterey offices. The Reporter was originally produced by
another company for use with a variety of databases on Hewlett- Packard mainframe computers, but it has been customized by Inlex
for use with their customers' systems. It enables us to get at
information that was previously unavailable except by examining each record individually. For example, the Reporter allows us to

patrons by zip codes, and a variety of lists that will be useful for collection development, such as titles older than a certain
date (useful for spotting out-dated material in a field that
changes rapidly, such as computer science) or titles added after a certain date (useful for compiling bibliographies of new books). Since we received the software the week before the library was closed for carpetting, we were able to use it to
compile lists of books placed on hold, for retrieval as soon as staff could get at the shelves again. for the staff, who would have otherwise had to fax requests from one library to another and compile their own lists by hand for searching the shelves.

training environment. Various tutors in the program will take turns being Mentor
Tutors assisting in the Tutor Trainings for new tutors in the future.
4- First Creative Writing Class
On July 12, the first series of small group writing lessons concluded. Five adult
learners completed the 10-week series. A special ceremony was held, with each
learner receiving a certificate of completion from Coordinator Lynda Jones, and
each learner receiving a special, personalized award from the group’s two tutors,
Victoria Mack and Elaine Tietz. The special awards were for qualities such as
exceptional dictionary skills and generosity in helping others learn. One learner,
an avid basketball fan, received an award for extraordinary dedication because he
came to writing class even on the night of the NBA championship game!
- 5. Multimedia Software Donation
On July 20, the Workplace Learning Center, located at the Educational Cultural
Complex in San Diego, hosted representatives of adult literacy programs from
throughout the county. At this event customized multimedia software was
demonstrated. This software was developed specifically for adult learners in

Scott, a longtime volunteer tutor and tutor trainer with the Adult Learning
Program. She is now changing careen and working part-time as a workplace
literacy consultant with the Workplace Laming Center. Carrie included photos
of staff and learners from our own program in the software, and the software has
been trial-tested by our tutors and learners. The entire package is a donation to
our program from the Workplace Learning Center, as a public service required by
their funding. This multimedia package will serve as a model for future training-
by-computer programs to be developed for literacy and training programs in the
public and private sectors.
- 6. Citv Manager's Visit On July 24, City Manager Ray Patchett visited the Adult Learning Program.
During his tour, he was able to talk with several adult learners, tutors, and staff.
He also viewed one-to-one tutoring, a small group reading a play, computer-
assisted instruction, and use of CD-ROMs in the computer lab.

The fourth quarter report for the California Library Literacy Services 94/95 grant
was submitted to the State Library.

The hardware for the OPACs to be installed at the Centro and the Adult
Learning Program was delivered. Because these 2 stations will use actual personal
computers, rather than the "dummy" monitors used currently in the library, they
will be installed at the Main Library first, so that the Technical Services staff can
become familiar with them and identify any problems. After Technical Services is
satisfied with the support required, the 2 OPACs will be installed at the Centro
and the Adult Learning Program. The OPACs were purchased with State Library
grant funds for literacy and Partnerships €or Change.

STRATEGIC PLAN 1995-2000
In 1994, the Carlsbad City Library Board of Trustees and staff began a strategic
planning process designed to carry the library forward into the 21st century. Over the
course of a year and a half, staff met to consider the issues and to learn from each
other, the business community, educators, students, the handicapped, non-English
speakers, elected officials, and both library users and non-users. In developing a
vision for the future, staff began by asking who their customers are now and how
these customers and their needs will change in the future: how the library is unique in
what it does; and how the community will be impacted by library services.
This plan is about change, identifying forces for change and taking charge to create a
desired future. It is a proactive plan that explores new ideas and concepts rather
than reacting to what is already happening. It addresses what the public wants from
the library and the resources required, how staff roles as librarians will change as the
public’s needs and expectations shift, and creative ways the library can provide high
quality service over the next five years with available resources.
After reviewing all community input from a series of surveys, interviews, and focus
groups that together reached out to neariy 1,800 people, staff and Library Board
members met for a week in June 1995 to formulate a customer-centered vision, a
mission statcll wt, core values, and strategic goals. These are outlined in this
preliminary document. Staff and community representatives will continue this process
over the next few months as specific action plans are developed to address key
strategies.
CUSTOMER CENTERED VISION
Because of the Carlsbad City Library, Carlsbad residents of all ages and
backgrounds. . .
Are part of a dynamic learning community which celebrates our shared
humanity and our rich diversity.
Participate in the information age, connecting the past to the future.
Are tolerant of different points of view and share a sense of community
history.
Are economically, politically and personally empowered and enriched.

LIBRARY MISS ION
We ...
Provide quality information to the entire community and assure equal access
to all our materials.
Create a welcoming environment with a friendly, competent staff and
introduce children and adults to the joys and rewards of reading using the
public library.
Use appropriate technologies and provide new resources to meet changing
community needs.
Provide services that help members of the community overcome limits to
library use.
Reach out to the community to build cooperative relationships, promoting a
sense of ownership in the library.

VALUES STATEMENT
Every library staff member is committed to practicing a set of essential values that
represent what we stand for. These values guarantee to the community and to
ourselves the quality of the Carlsbad City Library. We hold ourselves accountable
to demonstrate these values to our community and to ourselves in the ways we
carry out our jobs.

not yet defined our role and responsibility as a technology user and

a two way approach to collaboration because we provide services
to the same populations as many other agencies and we all have diminished

In order to survive and thrive into the future, we must create an environment
supportive of change, our vision and mission.
We will need to hire and keep the best quality staff.
The role of the library to provide services for those who cannot afford to
purchase what the library has to offer needs to be determined.

FRQM: Library Director
STATUS OF COFFEE CART PROPOSAL
At the June meeting of the Library Board you passed a resolution which requested
that the monies realized from the coffee cart be allocated to the library for use as
specified by the director. I have discussed the use of coffee cart revenues with the
Finance Department and the City Manager's Office, suggesting that the funds be
earmarked for the book budget. Because of the precedent such earmarking would
set, the coffee cart revenues wilt need to be deposited in the city's General Fund.
No revenues from any city department are earmarked for a particular purpose.
Revenues are deposited in the General Fund and the General Fund supports the
operation of any given department. If earmarking of funds were to be allowed, it
ultimately could undermine the stability of the General Fund. Another consideration
is the potential nightmare that would be created by the excessive and costly
accounting and recordkeeping necessary to keep track of earmarked funds.
It is important to keep in mind that the library is a city department and has received
its fair share of funding during the past several years of lean budgets. One could
make the argument that any revenue that benefits the General Fund, ultimately
benefits the library as well.
The question to be answered is this: how important is it to the library to be able to
claim and earmark revenue from the coffee cart? Potential revenue probably will
not exceed $1 0,000. The best reason for providing a coffee cart is as a service to
the library's users.
I have put the coffee cart on the agenda for the August 16, 1995 Library Board
meeting. A final decision will need to be made.
If you would like to talk about this issue with me before the meeting, please call
me at 434-2875.
