AYES: Moss, CHeureux and Woodward ABSTAIN: Curtin MONTHLY LIBRARY DIVISION HEADS REPORT President Moss referred to the reports contained in the packet, and asked for comments or questions. Board Trustee CHeureux stated she continues to be impressed with the adult learning program; particularly with the Emblem Club Adult Learner Grant work. President Moss stated that she is pleased the librarians are meeting with the school teachers and hopefully getting feedback in letting the libraries know when certain assignments and programs are forthcoming where materials will be needed by the students. Dr. Lange stated that there seems to be a new spirit of cooperation in interaction between the libraries and the schools, and he is very pleased with that. November 15,1995 LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES Page 2 MONTHLY LIBRARY DIVISION HEADS REPORTS: (Continued) Board Trustee L'Heureux inquired whether the setf-check out machine is being used, and Dr. Lange said that unfortunately it is not being used as much as had been anticipated. He.said in talking with the representatives from 3M, they indicated that the machines that are the most successful are those installed at the circulation desk. The new machines can also check out videos and audios, and that will help. Or. Lange stated that all the libraries have experienced this difficulty when patrons are checking out more than just books. LIBRARY BOARD COMMENTS President Moss reported that MiraCosta Community College asked her to report to the Board that they bring a group of twenty re-entry students to the library to show them how to use the library, and they really appreciate the help they get from staff. RESTRUCTURING CALIFORNIA PUBLIC LIBRARIES JOINT TASK FORCE REPORT - discussion Or. Lange stated this item is a carry-over from the prior meeting and he asked for any questions from the Board Members. Board trustee L'Heureux stated she liked the ideas, as they were so logical arid clear, and she wondered whether the ideas are implemented. Dr. Lange said the California Library Association will carry these ideas forward, and with the support of he other participating organizations, it is a more powerful document. The time line is 1997 for implementation. Board Trustee Woodward said he was in favor of the libraries being free and available to everyone. Dr. Lange said it is a case of fee versus free, and he supports the idea of the basic services being free, but allowing libraries to evduate added services. CALIFORNIA LIBRARY SERVICES ACT PROGRAM - discussion Dr. hge referred to the program distributed to the Board Members at the previous meeting for their perusal and stated he would answer any questions. President Moss inquired whether this could fit in with the Headstart Program, and Or. Lange stated it is difficult getting children and perents to participate. COFFEE CART UPDATE - discussion Dr. hge reported that seven companies attended the mandatory meeting and five submitted responses to the RFP. Two companies have been chosen and will be interviewed further and asked to provide a sample of their products. He listed some of the qualifications taken into consideration and said they will pay $25 a day for use of the space, or 8 percent of the gross receipts, whichever is larger. In reply to query from President Moss regarding the opening date, Dr. Lange said that the target date to open is January 1998. November 15,1995 LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES Page 3 LIBRARY ANNUAL REPORT FOR FY 1994-95 Dr. Lange referred to the copy of the report contained in the packet. He said that circulation is down, but that was due to the closing of the library for eight days in June for the re-carpeting. He said he wrote a memorandum to the City Manager and City Council calling attention to the decrease in budget and staff, and the increase in the book collection and circulation. Board Trustee Curtin commented that with the figures in the report it is easy to see why people's opinion of Carlsbad can be influenced by this library. CHANGE IN LIBRARY INTERNAL ORGANIZATION Dr. Lange referred to his memorandum dated November 7,1905, regarding the change in library structure. He said that the plan is to use people more effectively in the library, and this has been implemented in the Circulation and Reference Divisions. The overall reaction has been positive. Geoff kmour stated that there are ten different operational divisions and there will be more cross-training and more combining of divisions where that is possible. He said that the cross-training will result in a larger pool of staff able to do more jobs. The term Adult Services is a misnomer, since that does include Children Services. He said that perhaps the term Public Services would be better. Dr. Lange stated that the public never hears the terms anyway; that they are for internal use only. REPORT ON CALIFORNIA LIBRARY ASSOCIATION ANNUAL CONFERENCE. NOVEMBER 11 - 13, - 1995 Dr. Lange reported on the recent conference at Santa Clara, and said that one of the items to be focused on is to increase the lobbying in Washington. He stated he has been Chairman of the Membership Committee and will hold that position next year as well. They had a contest for the longest continuing member of the Association, and there were six people entered in the contest. The winner was Carma Lee of San Diego, who joined the Association in'lb30. She has been a member for 65 years. INTERNET DEMONSTRATION BY CHRIS PICKAVET. LIBRARY TECHNICAL SERVICES This item was moved to the end of the agenda.

Publisher Buvs Learner‘s Book On October 19, adult learner Kevin Nolan received a letter and contract from editor Ruth Vander Hart of Open Door Boob, a series published by CRC Publications. CRC Publications is a division of the Christian Reformed Church, headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Kevin had submitted a story/short book he had both written and illustrated, and CRC Publications was offering him $300 for the rights to the story and illustrations. Kevin’s story, called Beyond Fear and Pride, is set in the Old West and is about a cowboy who was unable to read. Much of the story contains elements from Kevin’s own life, inchding a strong Christian message and struggles with fear and pride in learning to read. Open Door Books is a series of Bible studies and Christian-theme books published for adult new readers. The other authors in the series are professional writers. CRC Publications hopes not only to publish Kevin’s book as part of this series but also to distribute it to tutors in churches which are setting up literacy programs. - 2. Emblem Club Adult Learner Grant Oceanside Emblem Club is again recognizing an adult learner in the Adult Learning Program with a $500 grant toward further education or training. Confidentiality is central to adult literacy programs, and the Emblem Club and Adult Learning Program have agreed to respect the confidentiality of grant recipients who request it. This year’s winner is a man in his forties who has been in the program for several years and will use the grant money to pay for approximately 20 different tests for full certification as an auto technician. 3. Tutor and Learner Orientations On October 2, six potential tutors attended a New Tutor Orientation, which was presented by Coordinator Lynda Jones, 2 learners, and 2 tutors. On October 26, two New Learner Orientations were conducted by 3 experienced learners for 7 new learners. . - 4. Tutor/Learner Ratios One of the goals of the Adult Learning Program’s Strategic Plan is to provide quality instruction to an increasing number of learners while the number of available volunteers decreases. The strategy adopted was to increase the number of tutors who are tutoring more than one learner, either in a small group or one- to-one. Prior to Strategic Planning, only 2-3 tutors had more than one learner. As of the end of October, this number had increased approximately 700%. Thirteen tutors now tutor more than one learner in a variety of settings: team- teaching a writing class of 6 learners, facilitating a reading group of 4 learners, tutoring a pair of learners simultaneously, tutoring separate learners at different hours, and being available for “drop-in tutoring” for learners with changing schedule needs. Several learners now have more than one tutor, as well; for example, a learner may have a one-to-one tutor and also attend the writing class. Adult Learning Program October 1995 page 2 - 5. 6. - 7.

There were a total of 36 programs planned and Because of its popularity with patrons, Storycraft was expanded to two sessions a month last year, and has continued on that basis this year. Even with expanding so that more could participate in this program, both sessions are always filled. Next month, the age level suggested will go from 4 to 6, instead of 3 to 5. \ Our annual Halloween Party was highlighted by Magician Craig Stone, who dazzled children and parents with his wit and skill. children enjoyed.

Nancy St. John, librarian, storyteller, songstress and guitar player performed at both storyhours on Tuesday morning. She came in costume and involved children and parents in songs and stories.

This program is in the evening Library skills classes have concluded for this year with 4th through 6th graders graduating from classes on using the library and how to find items in the library. Storytime, one of the two programs that continues throughout the year, had a sudden influx of attendance this fall. This program is basic storyhour, with a few songs and fingerplays and the reading of two books. Prime Time Club started this month. Club members learn about different kinds of literature, listen to Doris read selections from the various types of literature, and earn credit for reading at home or at school. They can turn in their credits for small prizes or. save them for larger prizes. This is a valuable program for encouraging children when they are just beginning to read on This is a program for lst, 2nd, and 3rd graders.

CHILDREN'S October threw its magic spell over the children's room as the back to school mood changed to the excitement of grinning jack-o- lanterns, spooks and scarry stories. Homework assignment focused on early man, Indians and explorers. The special program for the month given by Nancy St.John and sponsored by the Friends of the library, drew 150 children of all ages. The children's room was packed with parents and kids enjoying new and traditional stories of the season. Morning storyhours also took advantage of the season with Autumn and Halloween themes. C.D.ROM The Branch library achieved access to the I1towertv at city hall. This allows the Branch library users the same C.D. ROM access to current materials as the Main users have. There does seem to be some glich in the system which slows the timing of the access. However., we have been assured by Information Systems that they will do what they can to make improvements. NEW STAFF Aestar Beraki-Adams began work as a page this month. She and her now fifth grade son have been strong library users for the last five years. Her extreme interest and support of libraries is most refreshing. She often shares fond childhood memories of her mother and their Saturday morning visits to the downtown Chicago Public library. Libraries have always been her very own magical world. For Aestar, working in a library is a dream come true. n Cily Council City Manager City Treasurer Engineering Finance Fire Housing/Redev.

Technical Services Report October 1995 In October, Technical Services staff added 1,279 books and 312 audiovisual items to the library's collection. A total of 430 books and 81 A-V items were withdrawn from the collection. Patrons with computers used .the dial-access catalog 411 times in A total of 1,556 books were checked out by patrons using the self-checkout machine. This was 2% of the total circulation, a percentage that has been steady for many months. \ October. Main Street usage was 110. \ In the course of a year, the library sends out about 25,000 notices to patrons, letting them know that they have materials overdue and that materials they have on hold have come in and are waiting for them. For many years, we have used the same mailing form that other city departments use, a plain but serviceable mailer with red stripes. Recently, we found a supplier that sells a mailer imprinted with the widely recognized Library Logo, the outline of a person reading a book, that is also used on street signs. printing equipment in October and mailed out, drawing several favorable comments. As soon as the current supply of the old mailers is exhausted, we will switch to the new ones. they will stand out in the patrons' mailboxes as something special. The mailers were tested successfully on our We hope Few months go by without some Internet-related activity, and October was no exception. Four members of the Serra Cooperative Libras-system have applied for state funds through the Linked Systems Project administered by the State Library. If our grant application is approved, the four libraries (Carlsbad, Chula Vista, San Diego Public, and San Diego County) will be able to provide workstations at each library that will provide access to the catalogs of the other three libraries using software developed by our respective vendors following a national standard called 239.50. Computers using this standard can translate a search on one system into the same search on another system. other words, the patron doesn't have to know the different ways to search for an author or a title or a subject in each and every system. Grant applications are time-consuming to write, but if they are successful, the effort is worth it. We won't know if this one is successful until December.

To help correct this situation and to make better use of staff, to encourage more cross-training, to provide closer supervi- sion, to remove some of the barriers to cooperation and communication, and generally to streamline the organization, the library is moving toward restructuring its operational divisions. This move is also one of the implementation strategies tied to the first goal in our Strategic Plan: "The Carlsbad City Library staff sees opportunity in change, develops creative approaches and takes action." 1 Effective December 1, 1995, the existing Circulation and Reference divisions will be combined into a single unit. This new division will be named Adult Services, recog- nizing that for the time being this term does not include Genealogy. One planned change within the new operation will be to have cross-training of clerical staff at the Periodicals and Circulation desks. The expectation is that we will be moving eventu- ally toward a Public Services Division that will also include Children's Services once we get into the new Main Library. A staffing plan for the Cole Library in the north has not yet been developed and will depend in part on the size and shape of operations placed in that building. There will also be some changes in specific responsibilities handled by staff in this new operation. These changes will be announced as they are developed by supervi- sors over the next few weeks. The intent is to make the most efficient and effective use of the staff we have and to improve services to the public. Other supervisory changes that will be instituted immediately include placing the Administrative Clerk (Gabe) under the Account Clerk (Pam Strojny) and shifting the Mail Clerk (Bev Wade) to the new Adult Services Division. Also approved in the new Division will be at least two Library Technician positions, people who will be trained to serve as lead supervi- sors during evening and Saturday hours and who will be given tasks now handled by staff who can be used more effectively elsewhere.
