Library was one of the projects.
Principal Librarian from the Cole Library, Chris Holt, explained that the compressors are
being replaced and the system is operating at the moment.

of climate control within the building, especially in the upcoming months.

system fail. Both Library Director Lange and Principal Librarian Holt responded that
facilities is very aware of the situation and are making every effort to keep the system
operating until it can be replaced. Even with only one compressor operating, the library
can continue to remain open.
Trustee Tarman commented that he had attended the Volunteer Recognition event
mentioned in the Cole Library report and it was a great success.
COLE COMMUNITY ROOM:
In response to an inquiry from the Board on the use of the Community Room at the
Cole, Principal Librarian Chris Holt had provided a sample of a month’s usage statistics.
Trustee Page commented that it was apparent that the Library heavily utilized the room
to the extent that there did not appear to be sufficient available time to offer the room to
the community at large.
LIBRARY FACILITIES REVISED POLICY & FEES:
Library Director Lange reminded the Board that this issue was brought back to the
Board following the last meeting and their instructions to Media Programming Specialist
Richmond for changes to the original proposal.
Trustee Page commented that she had compared the current revision to the proposal
submitted to the Board last month and that it appeared the Media staff had addressed
all the concerns expressed by the Board.
Trustee Swette questioned the fee for the AV Technician, the Board having expressed
the opinion that the fee was too small.
Media Programming Specialist Richmond explained that it was necessary to be
consistent with Parks and Recreation fees, and as the AV Technician at the Library
requires a higher skill level, our fee for this service is $5.00 more per hour. Additionally,
the discussion last month centered on cost recovery, and the fees charged for this
service has no impact on the salaries of those providing the service.
Library Director Lange added that the Library is not supposed to charge more than it
costs us to provide the service.
The Board discussed at length the Reservation, Cancellation, and Application
Procedures, especially the list of reasons an organization might be denied access to the
facilities.

Trustee Page asked for an explanation on the added provisions under Hours of Use and
Production Technician Greg MacLellan explained that on occasion a group fails to
vacate the facility at the agreed upon time, requiring library staff to remain after hours.
The facilities are already available and staffed for sixty hours a week and providing for
after-hours requires prior planning for staff time.
Trustee Swette commented on the “Library Bill of Rights” concerning meeting rooms
that allows for an equitable basis for any one to use the room.
Library Director Lange responded that the Library has a posted disclaimer that states
that the Library does not necessarily support the program being provided in the public
space.
Library Director Lange also pointed out to the Board that the proposed changes in the
policy and procedures include eliminating any reference to facilities and fees for the
Community Room at the Cole Library.
By proper motion and vote (3 - 0, two absent), the Library Board approved the
proposed changes in the Carlsbad Citv Librarv Meeting Facility Use Policies and
Procedures manual.
L I B RARY G RANT AP P LI CAT1 0 N S :
Library Director Lange explained these were included in the packet for information only
and the City Council approved them both.
Regarding the Global Materials Grant
Trustee Page asked if the grant funds, if awarded, would be in addition to the proposed
Collections budget for the year, and Library Director Lange explained it would be
additional funds.
Trustee Swette asked if we knew the amount of the potential grant and was told it was a
$6,000 grant based on immigration statistics for our area.
Regardinq the Literacv Grant -
Trustee Tarman asked if we were getting only $1 5,000 from the Literacy Grant this year
and Library Director Lange explained that last year the State Library changed the
manner of awarding the grant money to include a minimum of $15,000 award and then
any remaining funds would be divided among the recipients. Last year we received
$28,000, which actually was more than we received in the past years.

DIRECTOR’S REPORT:
Children’s Garden at CCL Dove Lane - We are still waiting for the final figures from
the designer but it appears the cost will be significantly higher than anticipated due to
the rising construction costs in the State. Principal Librarian Pizzuto has been working
with the City’s Park division to try to eliminate some of the costs by having the City do
some of the work. It is estimated we may need as much as $20,000 more than the
$45,000 provided by the Friends for this project. The RFP for the actual construction of
the project will not be released until we have the entire project funded.
Carlsbad Library Learning Center - The property is still in escrow and Purchasing is
working on the RFP for an architect to design the site plan to be submitted for the CUP.
Getting the project on the agenda for the Planning Commission may take months and
we cannot go to bid on the modular buildings, or make any tenant improvements until
the CUP is approved.
Trustee Page asked if we were in danger of losing the CDBG money and Library
Director Lange explained some of the money was used to purchase the property and
the next deadline for spending the remainder is next April or May.
Library Staff Security Training - The formal security training and roll out of the Library
Security Manual was held on April 27‘h with 175 attendees. Dr. Steve Albrecht of the
Baron Center facilitated the training and the feedback from those who attended has
been very positive.
Library Services and Staffing Plan Goal - This library services and succession plan is
nearly complete and will be provided to the Board for review and approval in June.
Cole HVAC - Once the new HVAC system has been procured for the Cole, it will be
necessary to close that facility for as much as two months. Library staff is looking at
methods to provide library service for the north end of town as well as utilize the Cole
staff during those two months.

Centro Supervisor Lizeth Simonson and Adult Learning Programs staff member Gisela
Rivera at the invitation of Joyce Vallone Parent and Community Coordinator from
Carlsbad School District attended the English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC)
meeting at Calavera Hills Elementary School. Lizeth spoke to the audience about library
services in general, homework assistance, and how the libraries can support their families
in the process of learning English. Gisela provided information on the library’s adult
literacy service and how this program could help English-speaking adults to improve
reading and writing.
On April 12‘h, Centro Supervisor Lizeth Simonson and Head Start Site Director Tracy

help their children during the summer to develop the skills they need for kindergarten,
how parents can make the transition easier for their children. The panel also encouraged
the parents to visit the libraries during the summer and have their children participate in
the Summer Reading Program 2004.

3. Nearly 200 staff from the Library, Police, Arts, Recreation, and City Clerk attended the
Library’s Security Plan training on April 27. The Library system was closed for the
morning so that all available staff could attend. The session was conducted by Dr. Steve
Albrecht from the Baron Center and covered the new Security Plan, dealing with
challenging patrons, and the new Library Rules of Conduct. Individual divisions have
followed up with discussions within their staff groups on security issues they typically
face and ensuring the implementation of the plan

5. Susan Simpson and Lizeth Simonson developed an application for the Global Languages
Materials Grant, sponsored by the California State Library. If awarded, this grant will
provide $ 6,000 for materials for the Centro de Informacion. The grant application was

6. Library Volunteer Coordinator, Cyndi Juarez produced a very successful Volunteer
Appreciation Party on April 22. Nearly 100 volunteers attended the party entitled “Bingo
for Books”. Snacks and treats were served while participants played bingo The winners
selected books donated by the Friends of the Library from the prize table. The highlight
of the afternoon was the presentation to Ede Westry, a 55 year Carlsbad Library
Volunteer veteran with this year’s Presidential Award for Volunteerism. Director Cliff
Lange made the presentation and spoke briefly about the importance of volunteering.
7. Cole HVAC issues continue. One of two compressors was removed and is currently
waiting replacement. This does not satisfy the need to rebuild the system. The Facilities
Department is currently working with specialists on the design. This process is expected
to take one two years before the project is complete.
8. Cole Library also continues to work with the Parks Department on a new landscape
design eliminating the negative issues the cobblestones have caused. Physical danger of
children climbing on the rocks, the concern of loose cobblestones being thrown and the
trash the area collects are problems being addressed. One solution is to remove the cobble
and replace with dirt. The area would be planted with drought resistant, low maintenance
landscape. A concrete walkway will replace the decomposed granite and concrete tables
already purchased and delivered will replace the current teak furniture.

Potential use of the Cole community room by outside community groups could be
accommodated if the following concerns were adequately addressed:
Cole library does not have support staff for setup and clean up of activities. Nor
is there staff for scheduling, registration or processing of deposits and payments.
The only kitchen in Cole resides in the Staff lounge directly off the Community
Room. It would not be appropriate to allow community groups to share that space
with staE, mixing private with public space is a security issue.
Currently, there is no budget for staff to tend the room before the library opens or
after the library closes to accommodate early or late community
meetingdprograms.
The facility is heavily booked as it stands supporting only library and city
sponsored events.
There is no other on site venue for Cole library events.
Children’s staff need flexibility to book seasonal programs such as class visits,
Summer reading and Multicultural Festival Programs.

Library facilities fees - proposed changes
Proposed library facility service fee - revisions
At the Library Board's April 21'' meeting, staff was directed to further revise the original proposal to reflect
changes in fees, update related policies and supply firther reports as included in this packet.
Background
Library's Media Division staff was responsible for reviewing the Facility Fees Schedule and associated Policies
and Procedures with focus on the Dove Library's Schulman Auditorium and Gowland Meeting Room. The
recommended changes were made based on capacity, amenities and rates of other similar rooms within the City,
as well as other comparable facilities and associated event services.
This memorandum will address: 1) Proposed changes, 2) Justification for changes, and 3) Estimated
increase in revenues. The adjusted rates, group category changes and updated Policies and Procedures will
bring the Library in parity with other City facilities managed by the Parks and Recreation Department. These
proposed changes will bring consistency in how facilities are offered to the public citywide. More importantly,
they represent a necessary first step in the eventual migration from EMS, the existing facilities booking system,
to CLASS, the new citywide online facilities booking system. The proposed fee changes are highlighted below.

Fees are based on an hourly rate, with a two-hour minimum.

An AV tech is included at $20 per hour for Auditorium use after 6:OO pm Monday-Thursdays, 9:OO am-5:OO pm Saturdays, and 1:00 pm -5:OO pm
Sundays. Special non-city requests for Auditorium use beyond the Libraries normal hours of operation [which are 68 hours per week] are subject to
after-hours staff availability plus additional fees.
511 212004 2”d Revision
2) Justification for changes
Facilities
We are proposing that the Schulman Auditorium with associated service fees be increased to bring rates up to
parity with comparable City Facilities such as the Harding Recreation HalYTheater and Calavera
Hills/Stagecoach Activity / Meeting Rooms.
Based on comparable analysis, it is recommended that the Schulman Auditorium and Gowland Meeting Room
rental rates be increased to the same pricing level as Stagecoach Park’s multi-purpose room and as directed by
the Library Board at the April 21” meeting, we are raising the Schulman Auditorium rates higher than the
Harding Center’s Auditorium.
Furthermore, staff recommends that Category B should be changed from the previous City Departments to
CarZsbad resident not-for proflt (non-paid management) and move the City Department to now be included in
Category A, which will continue to also include Library Divisions. This will bring the Library in line with the
defined categories currently defined in the Recreation Department’s Policies. This change will allow for the
necessary consistency required for the Library’s migration to the new CLASS online facilities booking software
system. Implementation of the CLASS facilities booking system software module is scheduled for this year. A
Goal Team comprised of representatives from I.T., Parks and Recreation and the Library’s Media Division are
currently pursuing this effort.
Also included is the A Y Services Fee Schedule, which itemizes these specialized and costly value-added
services that are made available upon request to patrons renting the Schulman Auditorium. These additional
services include higher-levels of technical staging, as well as audio, video recording and associated services.
These specialized services are offered based on added fees, availability of internal and outsourced staffing.

2. What underserved language group do you intend to target?
We intend to target Spanish-speaking children aged five to twelve who are in English-
language immersion classes in elementary schools. These children are regular users of the
Centro de Informacion, a branch of the Carlsbad City Library. The Centro is located in
the neighborhood of the schools that have the highest percentage of Spanish-speaking
children in their classrooms.
We will increase our services to these children by purchasing Spanish language materials
that will reidorce their basic reading skills in their native language. We will also
purchase bilingual Spanish - English materials that will help them improve their English
language reading skills and provide assistance with their homework assignments. These
materials will be in print, audio and video/DVD format.
Project: Global Languages Materials Grant Program
Li brary/Juri sdiction: Carlsbad City Library
3. How did you determine your library currently under-serves the targeted language
group?
Consultation with the staff of the Centro de Informacion reveals that the Centro does not
have enough materials to meet the demands of these students. The Centro receives
regular and personal feedback from the students who use it, as well as fiom their parents
and their teachers. This feedback and the observations of the Centro st& show that the
Centro needs more nofiction to support a wide range of homework assignments. The
Centro staff has also noticed that their fiction shelves are emptied quickly when the
schools have school-sponsored reading programs and also during the library’s Summer
Reading Program.
Consultations will be held with two groups of people to fiather verify and clarify this
need. The first group is the “Homework Zone” volunteers who work at the Centro de
Informacion. These volunteers work one-on-one with students to help them with specific
homework situations, and so will have detailed feedback about what the Centro needs to
add to improve the nonfiction collection. The second group is the English Learner
Advisory Committees (ELAC) run by the schools. This group is chaired by a bilingual
teacher, who coordinates the school’s efforts to work with the English-immersion
students, their parents and their families. ELAC members will be able to provide us with
Limited English Proficient (LEP) statistics and with more idormation about materials
needed to help with homework assignments and with general reading skills.
4. Please describe your plans for the promotion of the collection that will be
purchased.
The staff of the Centro de Mormacion will use their established, ongoing outreach efforts
in their community to publicize and promote the collection of materials purchased with
the Global Languages Materials Grant Program. These outreach efforts currently
include:
Classroom visits
Participation in school special events
Participation in community events, such as the Barrio Fiesta, the Christmas Tree
Lighting Ceremony, and the Festejando a las Madrecitas, all of which center on the
neighborhood where most of these children live
Participation in the regular ELAC parent meetings held at the various schools
Project: Global Languages Materials Grant Program
Library/Jurisdiction: Carlsbad City Library
5. Please provide your plan for continuation of the collection beyond the grant year.
We will increase the allocations for Spanish-language and bilingual materials for
Spanish-speaking children by rearranging our spending priorities within the library’s
materials budget.
We will also track the circulation statistics on the materials purchased with this grant
money, watching carefblly which items circulate more than others, so that we can*focus
our ongoing spending on the types of items that will be the most usehl.
6. On behalf of the Carlsbad City Library, I will accept a Library Services and
Technology Act grant award of $6.000.00 for the Global Languages Materials
Grant Program of 2004/2005. I agree to the conditions of this award and stipulate
that the fbnds will be used for the purchase of materials that meet the needs of our
immigrant population(s), and that materials will be processed and made available
promptly. I understand that all fhds must be expended by June 30,2005, or

ITEM EXPLANATION:
From 1984 until 1989 the Carlsbad City Library adult literacy program was funded with
grant money from the State.
In 1989, when those funds were no longer available, the City's General Fund picked up
the support of the program.
In 1990, when the California Library Literacy Service was created, the library became
eligible for additional matching grant funds.
We have applied for and received the matching grant funds each year for the past ten
years.
For fiscal year 2004-05, the State Library will follow a similar procedure as last year in
determining how this matching grant program will be funded. The funding formula will
provide a basic grant of $15,000 to each eligible literacy program. Subsequently, if
additional funds remain, a second grant amount will be distributed to each eligible
literacy program. <
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Carlsbad City Library meets the eligibility requirements for receiving State matching
'unds. These matching funds are awarded by the State to extend or enhance existing
iteracy services. Grant funds will be used to purchase instructional resources, books,
wtreach materials, and supplies to support the annual tutorhearner recognition event.
The State grant amount for 2003-2004 was $28,851. The new funding formula will provide a
iasic grant of $1 5,000, and if there are any remaining funds, an additional grant amount will
)e awarded. The amount of the second grant is unknown.

Adult Literacv Services:
The Adult Learning Program provides free and confidential learning experiences in basic reading,
writing, and applied literacy skills. One-to-one and small group tutoring are offered. Computers are
fully integrated into the study sessions of every learner. In one-ton-one tutoring, emphasis is on
structured, sequential learning of the soundsymbol relationships for reading and writing English.
Tutoring pairs also work on building fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension with the Read
Natzirally software program. The learner’s own goals in applying new literacy skills to their home,
work, and community life are addressed. Currently, 33 learners are in one-to-one tutoring
situations.
Amlicant Jurisdiction: Carlsbad Citv Librarv
Three small groups are available for learners who have, generally, already studied for a sub stantial
time with one-to-one tutors. One group reinforces the basic skills studied previously and adds work
on fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. A second group is a writing group, which addresses
more complex skills in spelling, vocabulary, and written expression. The third group is a G.E.D.
preparation group. Each group has a volunteer tutor. In 2004-2005, two new groups focused on
keyboarding skills will be added. Currently, 15 learners attend small groups.
Any major changes from last year?
The Carlsbad City Council has adopted establishment of a Library Learning Center as one of its
goals for 2004-2005 and proposes to purchase a 7800 square foot building for this purpose. During
2004-2005, the Adult Learning Program anticipates moving into the Learning Center. With more
space, more small groups will be added, primarily using the sound/symbol curriculum
PhonoGraphix.
