Library Board Trustee Curtin arrived at 3:02 p.m. Absent: Library Board Trustee McCann Also Present: Cliff Lange, Library Director Geoff Armour, Assistant Library Director APPROVAL OF MINUTES: The Minutes of the Regular Meeting held July 24, 1996, were unanimously approved as amended to show Trustee Woodward gave the report for Serra Advisory Board. MONTHLY LIBRARY DIVISION HEADS REPORTS. Vice President L’Heureux referred to the reports contained in the packet, and asked for comments or questions. Vice President L’Heureux inquired about the Internet access for the Adult Learning, and Dr. Lange stated it is for the tutors and learners. In response to query regarding the Workers Compensation coverage for volunteers, Dr. Lange stated this is a new City policy and if any volunteer is injured while working for the City, they will be covered. LIBRARY BOARD COMMENTS. None. August 21, 1996 LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES Page 2 SAN DIEGO COUNTY REGIONAL LIBRARY AUTHORITY ORDINANCE Dr. Lange reported the ordinance was approved by the Library Authority at the second meeting, and this authorizes placing the measure on the November 6 ballot. He stated this is what will be voted on and needs to be understood. There will be a one quarter cent tax for five years, beginning April 1, 1997. This measure requires a 2/3 vote of approval and all of the library jurisdictions listed have targets for the expenditure of the money (this is required by State law). He said that Carlsbad made theirs as generic as possible. He reiterated that these funds must supplement-not supplant. Dr. Lange said the Taxpayers Association met last week and voted to oppose this ordinance and will write arguments in opposition. He said the ballot language is still being worked on, and all 18 cities have agreed to and voted for this. Board Trustee Moss asked about the money to be placed in the endowment, and Dr. Lange stated that they may put half into the endowment and the other half to be for the things they need to do immediately. He added that there are about five or six years of things accumulated that need to be done now. Board Trustee Moss stated she would like to see some numbers before the percentage is determined and Vice President L’Heureux concurred. The consensus was that the amount needed for “catch-up” projects is needed, with specifics. Dr. Lange indicated that he could get that information. He said that the County will supply the staff and the cost of the election, and if the ordinance passes, that will be paid for out of tax money. He said that the new library will be built, regardless of whether this passes or not. He told of the groups that are supporting the measure and said there will be a massive campaign waged for the passage of the ballot measure. HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION TRANSFER TO LIBRARY. - Discussion Dr. Lange stated that this item has been discussed previously, and the reason for the transfer to the Library is that this Commission no longer relates to the Building and Planning Departments, as it had originally. He said that Geoff Armour has agreed to staff this Commission. Geoff Armour said that there had been a recommendation to combine this Commission with the Arts Commission, but that was rejected. He said the Library is responsible for the Arts Commission and the Sister City Committee, so it would fit to have this Commission as part of the Library’s responsibility. August 21, 1996 LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES Page 3 LIBRARY WORKSTATION REORGANIZATION IN CIRCULATION, CHILDREN’S AND LOADING DOCK AREA. Dr. Lange explained the changes made and referred to the drawing included in the packet. He stated they are purchasing new furniture and this will provide a more effective use of the space. These improvements are budgeted for in the re-model of the Library, and the furniture there is 29 years old. Geoff Armour stated that there will be a major change in the loading dock area, with more space available for gifts from organizations. He said that in the Fall, the storage room back of the Children’s Area will be re-organized. ACCEPTANCE OF GIFT FROM FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY. ACTION: On motion by Library Board Trustee Moss, the Library Board accepted a donation of $43,520.00 from the Friends of the Library, and directed an appropriate letter of thanks to be written to the Friends. AYES: L’Heureux, Curtin, Moss and Woodward ELECTION OF OFFICERS. ACTION: On proper motions, the Library Board unanimously elected Board Member L’Heureux as President for the coming year and Board Member Curtin as Vice-president. DIRECTOR’S REPORT: Dr. Lange reported that the State Library networking forums have been going on for five or six years, with over 2,000 Librarians involved. He said they are to the final version of what they want to do, with a series of workshops to review the draft legislation to enable them to tap into all types of libraries. He said there will be a meeting in Pasadena this Friday to review draft legislation, and the revised draft will be on next month’s agenda for this Board to review. Dr. Lange stated that the program for funding of service to non-residents has not been fully funded the last few years, and there has been a great deal of discussion with regard to this as it has caused havoc throughout the State. Some libraries want to be able to charge non-residents a fee, but do not want to lose their status as members of the Library System. It will take three million dollars to fully fund a transaction based reimbursement program. August 21, 1996 LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES Page 4 DIRECTOR’S REPORT: (Continued) Dr. Lange said that the City Manager asked him to Chair the Strategic Initiative Team on Communications, and there have been seven meetings so far, and there may be two more. This involves internal and external communications, and Dr. Lange said it has been an interesting experience. Dr. Lange reported that a sunshade has been installed in the atrium, and that will help with the sun glare that had existed for the Circulation Desk. This will also help the self-check out machine. Dr. Lange stated that the linked-systems project that connects this Library with the San Diego City and County and Chula Vista, will be available to the public by the end of this year. Dr. Lange reported that the part of City Hall housing the Council Members and the City Manager is being remodeled and that building will be out of commission for the next few weeks. He said that the Media space will also be redone. Dr. Lange said he was happy to report that final approval has been given to fill the Reference Librarian position. Dr. Lange reported on the State of the City luncheon, which was attended by more than 150 people. He said there were breakout sessions, and one was for the Library, and six or seven people wanted information on the new library. Dr. Lange stated that October IO would be the Teachers Open House in the Council Chambers, with an orientation session on the Library and the services provided. He said that this was a successful event last year, with over 50 teachers in attendance. FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY: Dr. Lange stated that the Board will meet in September and there will be a new liaison for this Board. GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY: Geoff Armour stated that the Library is trying to have closer communication with the Genealogical Society and the Board of Directors. He said he is meeting with their Board every month, and that the biggest issue is one of space. The Genealogical Research Collection does not get any smaller, and it is a problem to make the maximum use of the space available in order to satisfy both the Society’s and the Library’s needs. He added that this is the most significant resource of its kind south of Los Angeles. In response to comment by President L’Heureux, Mr. Armour agreed that one of the options is to have them move to another site; however, the cost to rent space then creates another problem. August 21, 996 LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES Page 5 SERRA ADVISORY BOARD: Board Trustee Woodward reported that the Serra Advisory Board will meet on Thursday, August 22, in San Diego. PUBLIC COMMENT: None. ADJOURNMENT: By proper motion, the Regular Meeting of August 21, 1996, was adjourned at 4:OO p.m. Respect fu 1 I y submitted, Harriett Babbitt Minutes Clerk ADULT LEARNING PROGRAM Monthly Report July 1996 1. Librarv Assistant Position While the proposed Library Assistant position is processed, the Assistant City Manager approved having staff member Shirley Taylor continue working, with her hours changed from 40 to 19 hours per week, starting July 1. She continues to staff the classrooms during evening hours, plus some morning hours. The change in number of hours has thus far resulted in delays in learners starting tutoring, delays in preparatiodavailability of tutoring materials, more interruptions for all staff, and delays in tutorsflearners getting needed assistance. However, we are gratefbl to still have Shirley working with us, and on July 9 we celebrated her 78* birthday! 2. Adult Learning Proeram Collection For the first time since its establishment over 12 years ago, the Adult Learning Program collection in the Main Library acquired professional section and shelf labels in July. The labels are color- coded, bilingual, and have the Adult Learning Program logo on them to help adult learners locate the collection. Additional shelf labels will be added this year. 3. Intermediate Curriculum Eight experienced tutors and staff met on July 25 to review and implement the work done by volunteers and staff so far in developing a curriculum for learners progressing to intermediate level skills. 4. Strategic Planning On July 2, stafF met with volunteer consultant Carrie Scott to review progress on the Adult Learning Program’s Strategic Plan and to target areas still needing improvement. Specifically, new strategies were planned to speed the rate at which new learners are able to enter the program and begin instruction. 5. Internet Access Coordinator Lynda Jones researched options for an Internet provider, and chose ElectriCiti. A new 28,800 modem was installed by volunteer Randy Scott. 6. The City’s new policy on covering volunteers with Workers Compensation requires that volunteers sign an agreemendrelease form. The Adult Learning Program has now made this form part of the Volunteer Application filled out by each new volunteer. Workers ComDensation Coverage for Volunteers 7. Workstations Planning continued with the City Facilities Manager for design and ordering of new office workstations. 8. Parking One of the tenants in the Colonial Professional Building, where the Adult Learning Program is located, has again been spending much time and energy on his concerns about the parking situation. His attitudes and actions have impacted the time and energy of other tenants and their clients, including those of the Adult Learning Program. CARLSBAD CITY LIBRARY CENTRO DE INFORMACION Monthly Report July 1996 1.- Children's Proqramminq. During the month of July three special programs were presented at the Centro de Informacien, in conjunction with the Children's department at the Main Library, as part of the Summer Reading Program. The programs were: Helpinq our Wildlife on July 17, Linquini the Clown on July 24, and Puppets Alive on July 31. On July 25, Centro Supervisor Lizeth Simonson walked with a group of children to participate in one of the Summer Reading special events at the main Library. The children had the opportunity to learn how to make a bird house. This program was sponsored by Home Depot. 2.- Summer Readinq Proqram. By July 31, the Centro staff had enrolled 169 children in the program. 3.- Spanish Literacy. The Spanish Literacy group met eight times during the month of July. On Sunday, July 7, an article about the Spanish Literacy Program in Carlsbad appeared in the North County Times . Children’s Services Monthly Statement July 1996 In July, programming attendance and circulation reached new heights in the Children Services Division. Over 1000 parents and children attended 19 programs. Nearly 23,000 items streamed out of the Children’s Library. Program highlights for the month included a fishing trip, Teddy Bear Picnic, Mountain Mushers, Backyard Bugs, Campfire night, So Cal Movie Party and the Audubon Society Center program. Helgren’s Sport Fishing Trip was a great incentive for 13 lucky teens who enjoyed a free half day fishing trip. Rods, reels and bait were supplied by the management. The long day began at 5:30 am. Seven boys and six girls enjoyed themselves all morning catching fish and being out on the ocean. The Let’s Make a Birdhouse program was a free activity presented to 50 children by Doug Peterson of Home Depot. Children and their parents used nails, glue and hammers to construct a traditional birdhouse. The Library received several thank you notes from appreciative patrons. The Wildlife Hike and the Audubon Society Tour were both educational and enjoyable for both children and adults. These programs were well organized, highly interesting and well attended. The Campfire Night was an exciting program for the whole family. We roasted hot dogs, ate s’mores and crafted bear claw necklaces. Cowboy Bob led us in a sing-a-long of traditional camping songs. The program started at 6 pm and ended about 8:30pm. The So Cal Cinema Corporation was extremely generous this year. They provided coupons for free popcorn, sodas and movies to SRP patrons. Over 1,300 passes were handed out at our three locations. In addition, So Cal hosted a free Movie Party featuring “Babe” for 180 appreciative fans. Chicks Sporting Goods and the Friends of the Library supported the camping equipment giveaway at the movie party. Over 26 items were raffled off at the movie theater. At our Teddy Bear Picnic Browser the Bear led youngsters on a bear parade. Patrons participated in a bear sing-a long, a bear of a parachute ride and refreshments. Brower Bear was portrayed by Richard Engle and Dan Almos throughout the summer. The 3 locations had a combined participation of 1,427 this summer, up from 1,207 last year. Over 21 businesses contributed to Summer Reading Program this year.

(10,599 children’s books and 9,742 adult books circulatedl) Much of this is due to a major increase in the number of Summer Reading Program participants. This year by the end of July 576 children had registered. This is in contrast with the total registration in 1995 of 417. Six Summer Reading Activities took place in July. The indoor “campfire” highlighted the month. In the early evening as the outdoor light dimmed, children gathered in the Children’s room around a pretend ‘campfire”. Cowboy songs and stories were performed by Bob and Debra Sasse, and ghost stories were read and told by Pat Brunini, A similar program was given for the preschoolers with %ot-so-scW stories. The program blended perfectly with this year’s Camp Read S’more theme. NEW STAFF The Branch is pleased to welcome Karen Maynor-Mitchell to our Reference staff.

Patrons used home computers to dial into the library catalos 304 times. Patrons with the Mainstreet service accessed the catalos 66 times. In July, four more staRwere trained to use the sofhvars being provided for the Linked Systems Project, the state-fbnded grant that will provide access to the catalogs of four public libraries in San Diego County, including Carlsbad. The software has been installed on five staff computers and will be installed on the CD-ROhf workstations for the public after the City's Information Systems department installs Windows 95 and appropriate security software. At this point, only the catalogs of San Diego County Library, San Diego Public Library, and Carlsbad City Library are available; Chula Vista Public Library has had problems establishing a secure Internet connection and will probably make their catalog available later. There have been questions as to whether this project means that anyone with access to the Internet will be able to access the Carlsbad Library catalog. The answer is No. Due to security concerns and the expense of providing additional access, only terminals at the other libraries involved in the project will be able to reach our catalog. Any patron with a computer and modem, however, is still able to reach our catalog by dialing it directly. ORDINANCE NO.
