INTRODUCTION OF NEW TRUSTEE
Library Director Cliff Lange began the meeting by introducing new Library Board Trustee
William (Bill) Harkins. The rest of the Board welcomed him.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
The Minutes of the Regular Meeting held August 20, 1997 were unanimously approved.
MONTHLY LIBRARY DIVISION HEADS REPORTS
Director Lange offered an explanation of the problem that Adult Learning is having with their
phones and what is being done to solve it.
LIBRARY BOARD COMMENTS
Trustee Moss said the number of participants in the summer program seemed small to her, and
she wondered if it met the goals which were established. Director Lange thought the numbers
were good, and John Quartarone is also happy with them. Trustee Moss asked if the number
participating was expected to increase at the new facility, and Director Lange answered yes.
Assistant Director Amour said that the number of young adults participating is higher than
normal, with 44 more than last year. There were also more participating at the Branch. Trustee
Moss wants to see increases in children's participation at the library to keep them from staying
only in front of their computers. Trustee Curtin inquired as to how the library should do that.
Trustee Moss responded that it should be done through programs. Further discussion followed
on encouraging children's participation.

NEW LIBRARY BUILDING UPDATE
Director Lange reported that nine bids were received on construction of the new library. He
passed out a handout showing results and pointed out the lowest bidder, FTR, Inc. in Irvine.
Groundbreaking is tentatively scheduled for October 16 at 11:30. This will go to the City
Council on October 7, or later if it slips for some reason. He will let them know as soon he can.
Trustee Curtin asked if low bidder is frequently qualified like this. Director Lange answered yes,
that this is the process. He explained the bidding process and that we should know more in a
week.
REPORT ON MEETING WITH ARCHITECTS AND INTERIOR DESIGNER
Director Lange explained that the reason for the meeting with the architects and interior
designer was to tie up loose ends on furniture, equipment, and he thought they were
successful. He gave examples of what was accomplished; e.g.' A 36" round table being used
instead of the small rectangular ones. The children's carpet design with bright letters and
numbers in different colors; elevation issues; lighting compromise to avoid redesign but still use
better fixtures. Assistant Director Armour said an issue that is still unresolved is carpet tiles vs.
rolled carpet in the children's and other areas. Director Lange explained that the carpet tiles
show the seams, but maintenance is in favor of them because they are easier to replace.
President L'Heureux raised the topic of lounge chairs at Rancho Bemardo which would work
well for our needs. Assistant Director Armour described the chairs which they had seen.
President L'Heureux liked the leather on the arms of the chair, finding it attractive and
comfortable.
REPORT ON REGIONAL FORUM ON PROVIDING LIBRARY SERVICE TO CALIFORNIA'S
21 "-CENTURY POPU LATlO N
Director Lange informed those present that two from our group had attended this forum (which
was held at Scripps Ranch): President L'Heureux and Assistant Library Director Geoff Armour.
Assistant Director Armour asked everyone to recall the state conference which he described at
the last meeting. Seventy-five priorities came up. They were to vote on the top five of the 75.
Local jurisdictions were not affected by these recommendations. The idea of promoting the
value of libraries got the most support.
President L'Heureux felt it was somewhat boring. Though it was good for library folk to come
together, it was in many cases like preaching to the choir. She noticed that one item called it a
"female" profession.
Trustee Harkins asked if someone had primed the pump on the issues and whether there was a
spread of viewpoints. Assistant Director Armour responded that there were about 50 in
attendance from a variety of types of libraries. Trustee Harkins inquired further as to whether
they were able to make any changes. Assistant Director Armour said no. Trustee Moss asked
if those in attendance found it interesting. Assistant Director Armour described it further. He
also mentioned that they stopped at the Rancho Bernard0 library on the way back. He believes
that these two libraries are the best in the county, so it was a worthwhile trip. Trustee Curtin
asked for the results of this forum. Assistant Director Armour responded that he will pass on
the final report when it comes out.
Library Board September 17, 1997 Page 3
LIBRARY ANNUAL REPORT TO THE CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARY
Director Lange requested that the Board direct their questions on the report to Assistant
Director Armour. Trustee Curtin asked whether anything was very different from before.
Assistant Director Armour said there had been a drop in numbers of things borrowed and
discussed possible reasons for the decline. Director Lange added that he still thinks a major
driver of this is the economy, explaining why this is true. Discussion followed on other reasons
why some numbers are down. We still need to convince people we are providing a service.
President L'Heureux asked what ADA accommodations would be for dyslexic people. No one present knew.
CONSIDERATION OFA SUPPORT POSITION FOR THE FORMATION OF A SAN DIEGO
CENT SALES TAX MEASUREON THE JUNE, 1998 PRIMARY ELECTION BALLOT
COUNTY LIBRARY AUTHORITY FOR THE PURPOSE OF PLACING A ONE-QUARTER-
Director Lange said that no action had been taken on this yet, but it is scheduled to go before
the City Council on October 7. He wants the Library Board to go on record in support of the
measure. Trustee Curtin asked for clarification of what is required to show their support.
Director Lange answered that nothing is required except that their vote be on'record. Trustee
Harkins asked if this would create more bureaucracy. Director Lange responded that it would
not. Trustee Moss inquired as to whether the money, if collected, would go into an endowment
or a trust fund. Director Lange said it would become an endowment. He added that the San
Diego's Taxpayers' Association is also being solicited for support. Trustee Curtin moved that
the Board support the measure. Trustee Moss seconded the motion, which was then camed
unanimously by the Board.
ELECTION OF OFFICERS
Joan Moss nominated Thomas Curtin for President of the Library Board for the coming year.
Ann L'Heureux seconded the motion, which was then carried unanimously by the Board.
DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Library Director Cliff Lange reported that the Southeast Quadrant Meeting will be next Tuesday,
and he is on the agenda to give an update on the new library. He has chosen about 30 slides
to use in his presentation. Director Lange then went on to inform the Board that the City is
reorganizing itself following the retirement of David Bradstreet. He explained the Task Force
structure and that he is also on the Reorganization Design Team, chairing the Community
Services Reorganization Task Force. Only two and a half weeks have been allotted to do this,
and the next meeting is on Monday. He gave the history of prior City reorganizations, and he
shared his confidence that the plan will work and improve functions within the city.
Director Lange then told the Board that he wants to do an agenda bill to appoint another Serra
Advisory Board representative, now that Woody is no longer active. He has had the Board
recommend one of themselves to be a representative in the past, and it could also be someone
from the public. He personally prefers the representative to be a Board member who is
knowledgeable about the issues The role of the representative would be to advise the Serra
Administrative Council on issues. They met six times last year, every other month for half a
day. The Serra Planning Retreat will be October 27 and 28, and it would be helpful to have the
Library Board September 17,1997 Page 4
appointment prior to that so the new representative could attend the retreat.. He then asked if
there were any volunteers from the Board. Ann L'Heureux expressed an interest in serving in
this capacity. There was general consent among the Trustees to her appointment to the Serra
Advisory Board.
FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY
Director Lange introduced Gene Barbour, who is the liaison between the Library Board and the
Friends of the Library. Mr. Barbour said that the Friends' newsletter, Writ of Love, should have
come in the mail yesterday. He also mentioned that the book sale is coming on October 4 and
passed out flyers. Ann L'Heureux welcomed him, saying it was nice to have a liaison again.
GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY
On behalf of the Genealogical Society, Director Lange told the Board that the Society will be
having a yard sale in conjunction with the Library's book sale on October 4. Last time they
were on the same day by accident, but it worked out very well, so this time they are on the
same day by design. Assistant Director Armour added that there will be a book signing at this
event by Johnny McKaig, a local author who has written a history of Carlsbad.

ADULT LEARNING PROGRAM
Monthly Report
August 1997
1. New Staff Member
Elaine Lindsey-Paek began work as a part-time Library Technician on August 1 1. Elaine had
been with the Adult Learning Program for the previous 8 weeks, as a federally-fimded Summer
Associate for Literacy, with a primary focus on youth literacy. She is being trained now to assist
Program Coordinator Lynda Jones and staff member Shirley Taylor in providing support to
tutors and learners, as well as administrative support duties. Elaine will also be involved in
exploring adding a youth literacy component to this program in the future.
2. Stratepic Planning
Nearly all the objectives set in the Adult Learning Program’s 1995 strategic plan have been
completed. On August 19, therefore, a new strategic planning process was begun, facilitated by
Caroline W. Scott and Associates, a consulting firm helping corporations and nonprofit agencies
deal with literacy issues.
3. Streamlininp and Documenting Procedures
Coordinator Lynda Jones began in August an extensive overhaul and documentation of
administrative procedures and recordkeeping. This will likely take several months to complete.
4. Expandin? Commter Lab
On August 13, City workers helped program staff reconfigure all the furniture in the training
classroom so that 2 new computer stations could be set up in that room. These 2 stations are
networked with the 4 stations in the computer lab and will allow more tutoring pairs to use the
instructional software simultaneously. They will also be used during tutor trainings. Since
moving the 6 storage cupboards in the room required emptying them, it was a great chance to
houseclean and eliminate items no longer needed. Volunteer Randy Scott also began testing
installation of Internet access in the computer lab.
5. Phone Calls for Librarv
Pacific Bell’s “41 1 Information” computer was recently programmed so that when a caller
requests the phone number of the Carlsbad Library, they are given the Adult Learning Program’s
number. Some days, almost half the calls answered in this office must be transferred to the
library. Additionally, patrons are leaving complicated voice mail messages with reference
questions on the office voice mail. Pacific Bell and the City’s Information Systems have been
notified, but so far the problem remains, causing increasing drain on the program’s staff.
6. Adult Learning Program Collection
In August, small color-coded shelf labels were added to all the shelves in the Adult Learning
Program’s collection in the Main Library, identifling the collection’s major sections. Adult
Learning Program staff have for 13 years reshelved all circulated materials from this collection.
In August they oriented Circulation staff to the collection to enable Circulation staff to assume
responsibility for reshelving and shelf-reading in the collection starting in September.
CARLSBAD CITY LIBRARY CENTRO DE INFORMACION
Monthly Report
August 1997
1.- Children's Prouramminq - Summer Readinq Proqram On August lst, the Centro ended the Summer Reading Program with 149
children enrolled. On August 2, in conjunction with the Children's Department at the Main Library, children celebrated the end of the program with a party at the Harding Community Center Auditorium.
On August 8, at the City Council Chambers, 15 children from the Centro received awards and prizes for their outstanding participation in the Summer Reading Program.
2.- Facility Space at Centro Ue Informaci6n During the month of
August Centro Staff have been working to create space at the Centro
de Informacih for more books. These tasks included moving furniture, dismantling and reconstructing bookcases, and cleaning.
Staff were also preparing materials for the regular Bilingual
Storyhours that will begin in September.
3.- Miurant Services Network On August 19, Centro Supervisor Lizeth Simonson attended a meeting at the Consulate General of Mexico. The purpose of the meeting was to inform the organizations that work with Hispanic communities in the North San Diego County area about the latest changes in immigration laws and welfare reforms. The Consulate provided all the organizations pamphlets and booklets, in simple language, to help inform the community about these issues.
.
CHILDmN’S DIVISION
MONTHLY STATEMENT
AUGUST 1997
It was a wild and woolly Summer Reading Program at all three locations. Centro
had 149 participants with 15 YA’s. The Branch Library’s total was 603 with 35
YA’s. At the Main Library we had 1,029 and 108 YA’s. The system total this year
was 1,781 compared to last year’s 1,745. There were 44 more YA’s than last year.
We are very pleased at the showing of YA interest in the Summer Reading Program.
We feel that the incentives, programs and the return of many teens from last year
helped increase the participation. We also had an increase of twelve over the 32 last
year in our volunteer program which includes 6* graders and up.
At all three locations there was a total of 53 programs with the combined attendance
of 3,016. Programs that were especially popular with both parents and children
were the Library SleepOver, the Teen Campfire Program, the Home Depot Make-
A-Boat program, and the Batiquitos Lagoon nature hike.
The Awards program for Summer Reading Program is always a big thrill for the
winners and their families. One new aspect of the event was the program created by
Linda Rockafellow of Graphic Arts. This program provided a souvenir for the
winners and was also a way of thanking the many sponsors and the volunteers.
Children’s staff start planning and working for the Summer Reading Program in
midwinter, so there is great satisfaction, as well as relief, when the program runs
smoothly. The closer summer comes, the harder the staff works to have everything
ready in time. The theme for next year has been announced as being “Folk and
Fairy Tales Around the World”, with a special emphasis on multiculturalism. Soon
the Children’s staff will be working with that theme for a great Summer Reading
Program 1998.
As soon as Summer Reading Program was over, staff resumed the weeding projects
that were started during the Christmas holiday season. Since these two periods are
the times when we can find more of our books in, they are best for weeding outdated
materials. There has been a major weeding of the science sections, which tend to
become outdated more rapidly than other sections. Staff have also weeded video and
audio sections and will be weeding the rest of non-fiction and fiction during
September. This is the time when we uncover books that have gone missing, as well
as books that are damaged or too worn for further use. As we run out of space in
this library, weeding will assume an ever more important role in managing the
collection.

LA COSTA BRANCH LIBRARY
MONTHLY REPORT
AUGUST 1997
AUGUST ClRCULATlON
Branch circulation totaled 22,263 for the month. Of this total, 11,453 adult items,
8,080 children’s items, 2,688 video tapes and 42 CD ROMS circulated. This
was and average of 891 items each day, or 82 items hourly. Even though the
daily circulation increased 2% over August of 1996, the total circulation dropped
6%. In August of 1996, the library was open 12 hours more due to the way
Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays fell that month. With less hours in August this
year, the circulation statistics are deceptively low.
USERS
This month’s total user count was 17,275. An average of 691 people visited
daily. The hourly rate was 64. Compared to August 1996 the total user count
decreased 12%. Again, the number of hours in the month needs to be taken into
consideration.
CHILDREN’S
Summer Reading Program closed with a well attended awards ceremony
honoring all 603 participants. 35 of those participants were teenagers. With
the major event of the summer closed early in the month, the Branch Children’s
Coordinator began gearing up for the school year. Books are being ordered, the
collection is being weeded of out-ofdate materials and programs for the fall are
being planned.
STAFF
In this year‘s budget, a new position to head the circulation area was approved.
A new Library Assistant will be chosen to become Circulation Supervisor to
supervise, schedule, train and promote a better understanding of library policy
and procedure among circulation staff. When the Branch was a smaller
operation, this could be done by the Branch manager, but as the operation has
grown and developed, so has the need to have a supervisor in this very critical
position. Interviews are scheduled for the first week of September.

Technical Services Report
August 1997
In August, Technical Services staff added 988 new print items and 233 audiovisual items
to the library’s collection. They deleted 1,597 print items and 288 audiovisual items from
the database. This number of deletions is higher than usual. The primary reason was the
UPS strike; due to the sudden decrease in new materials being received, the staff had
more time to remove outdated and lost materials from the database.
Patrons used home computers to dial into the library catalog 260 times.
The “patron placed holds” feature of our Inlex system, where patrons can place their own
holds at any public terminal, continues to be heavily used. In August, 29% of all patron
holds were placed by the patrons themselves, rather than by staff.
On August 26* and 27”, the old laser barcode wands, which have been in use since 1987,
were replaced at the Circulation Desks by new laser scanners. These scanners are
mounted on a stand and can read barcodes hands free, but can also be removed fiom their
stands and operated manually if necessary. The scanners are faster than the old wands,
are more accurate, and reduce the repetitive motion of sweeping the wand over the
barcode labels. Four scanners were installed at the Main Library, and two were installed
at the Branch.

CARLSBAD CITY LIBRARY
California Public Librarv Report 1997
Explanation of difference between PLF allocation and amount of
PLF expended:
The difference amounts to $1,338 left over &om the allocation. Funds in 96- ..
97 were used for a variety of operating costs, including water, bindery, and
miscellaneous supplies. ‘All of these items were simply estimated in setting
up the budget. At the end of the year, final expenditures did not match up
precisely with these original estimates.

September 10,1997
TO: LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES
FROM: LIBRARY DIRECTOR
SUPPORT THE FORMATION OF A COUNTY LIBRARY AUTHORITY TO
PERMIT THE VOTERS OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY TO CONSIDER A ONE-
QUARTER-CENT SALES TAX RATE INCREASE FOR FIVE YEARS TO BE
USED EXCLUSIVELY FOR LIBRARY IMPROVEMENTS.
BACKGROUND
October 7, 1997 the San Diego County Board of Supervisors is scheduled to
approve a resolution to create a countywide Library Authority. The Library
Authority will collect input from the public and interested parties relative to a
quarter-cent sales tax increase for five years to be used exclusively for library
improvement. Subsequently, it is expected that the Library Authority will
request County Counsel to draft a ballot question to be placed before the voters
on June 2, 1998. Establishment of the county Library Authority is required in
order that the San Diego County Transactions and Use Tax may be submitted for
voter approval.
Revenues collected from the tax would be used for funding countywide library
systems consisting of the San Diego County Library System and the city library
jurisdictions within San Diego County. The revenue collected from the tax
would be used to supplement existing appropriations for each library system.
To be imposed, the tax measure requires approval by two-thirds of the voters in
the County.
RECOMMENDATION
I would like the Library Board to go on record in support of the establishment of
a County Library Authority for the purpose of placing a one-quarter-cent sales
tax measure on the June, 1998 primary election ballot.
