Mayor will be asking the local rapid transit district to sponsor consideration of one day each week
in the summer to be known as "Library Day." On that day, any child under the age of 18 can show
a library card from libraries participating in the program and receive free transportation to the library.
Referring to handout Item C1, while our statistics look good in terms of transactions, our revenues
were down.
C2. ' Budget report: presented by Deborah Clark, Library Manager..
Deborah Clark, Library Manager, reviewed pages 23 and 24 with the Board. The carry-over amount
of $63,665 will roll over, since everything that we earn rolls over into the next year. In the proposed
budget that the Board will be looking at, staff has treated the $63,665 amount as reserves.
Deborah Clark, Library Manager, went over the Budget amendments for 1995/96 on page 25. The
biggest change is that staffdecided not to appoint a full-time circulation position at this time. Staff
has reduced $50,000 here and there within accounts. Staff eliminated some dues money which
means librarians will not have their dues paid for by the library.
Jerry Fulwood, Deputy City Manager, stated that annually for the next five years and for the
succeeding five years after that, the Library will have to pay the County $100,000 for the first five
years and then $50,000 for the next five years. Staff has made a proposal to the County to buy out
the contract for $400,000 cash. At this time, staffhas not heard back from the County. The money
that will be used is from a bond issue that we are defeasing. This is not general fund dollars, it is
bond dollars. If the County does not accept our proposal, then staffwould look at using the bond
money to make the annual payments.
C3. Approval to accept $5,000 grant award by the Weingart Foundation: presented by Robert
Karatsu, Principal Librarian.
Robert Karatsu, Principal Librarian, stated this is a grant which was prepared back in May and the
Weingart Foundation replied by saying they could not fund the entire amount, but they would fund
$5,000. Staff is asking the Board to accept the grant for two multi-media computers for the
children's room with the software and a few other items.
MOTION: Moved by Boardmember Swistock, seconded by Boardmember Gregory. Motion carried
4-0-1 with Howdyshell absent.
C4. Approval to participate in two joint grant projects:
a) Joint Project for Linking Public and School Libraries in San Bemardino County:
presented by Robert Karatsu, Principal Librarian.
Library Board Minutes
September 7, 1995
Page 3
Robert Karatsu, Principal Librarian, stated that this is a grant proposal from San Bemardino County
Library System along with public school libraries and several city libraries. The grant is to link
some of the school and public libraries together, so that they would have access to each other's
catalogs and some of their resources.
MOTION: Moved by Boardmember Swistock, seconded by Boardmember Davies. Motion carried
4-0-1 with Howdyshell absent.
b) Joint Project to Preserve and Collect Local History: oral presentation by Deborah
Clark, Library Manager.
Deborah Clark, Library Manager, stated the California Preservation Grant Fund really is
emphasizing large resource libraries. The State Librarian is trying to have on-line in the state data
base, materials of local history interest. In order to achieve that, the State Librarian is willing to co-
fund jurisdictions that have materials that are worthy of merit. Matching funds will be needed.
Digitized form of information will not be accepted. Instead of Internet, they require an OCLC
record. OCLC is the State data base as well as being an international data base. The State requires
the library to use OCLC for cataloging of photographs or cataloging any local history documents.
This will require a fee of approximately $5 for each record into OCLC to create that record. They
also require that it be available to inter-library loaning to any institution or photocopying to any
institution that requests it.
President Pro Tem Muna-Landa asked, when you say matching funds, how much are we looking at?
Deborah Clark, Library Manager, stated that in the grant, staff may ask for anything between $500
and up to $25,000. Staffis looking at a $6,000 project with the brunt of it to be Upland, because
Upland will be having the person housed at their location.
Deborah Clark, Library Manager, stated staffwould like direction to continue the procedure working
with Upland with the understanding that staffis to be very cautious in the application and look at
a lower dollar amount. Also, to direct staffto continue Rancho Cucamonga local history collection
building efforts.
MOTION: Moved by Boardmember Swistock to direct staffto continue the local history project in
a very cautious and low cost manner, seconded by Boardmember Davies. Motion carried 4-0-1 with
Howdyshell absent.
C5. New fmcs/fees proposed for review and approval/denial as outlined in Schedule A: presented
by Deborah Clark, Library Manager.
Boardmember Swistock asked if this was consistent with the Basic Services Task Force findings?

President Pro Tern Muna-Landa asked if on the renlal books, are we still going to have some copies
that are just available for check-out and rental books will be additional copies?
Deborah Clark, Library Manager, stated yes.
MOTION: Moved by Boardmember Davies, seconded by Boardmember Gregory. Motion carried
4-0-1 with Howdyshell absent.
C6. Publicity Plan: presented by Deborah Clark, Library Manager.
Deborah Clark, Library Manager, reviewed the Plan with the Board. One concern brought up by
Renee Tobin, Children's Supervisor, was Number 1, weekly releases on storytime. Should we really
be advertising a weekly storylime since we have no room for additional children?
President Pro Tem Muna-Landa stated for staff to try the storytime releases monthly with special
events being released as they are happening.
D. BOARD BUSINESS
D1. Follow up on goals distributed by President Howdyshell at the March meeting.

D3. Report from the Fundraising Task Force, including the Donor Wall: oral report presented
by Boardmember Swistock.
Boardmember Swistock stated that the Fundraising Task Force did some brainstorming. Target goal
was $50,000 in the next year. Some of the ideas: pursue some things with the Quakes which cannot
happen until the spring; to host a big, single fundraiser - idea was a telethon of some sort.
Boardmember Swistock did get an update fxom John Mannerino, Mark's Cablevision enthusiastically
embraced the idea of a telethon. There is a major technical problem, however, Mark's does not have

remote camera capabilities. The time line is for the spring to coincide with National Library month,
April.
Boardmember Swistock asked if staff had a time line on the Business Friends publication?
Deborah Clark, Library Manager, stated that staff will bring that back next month.
Paul Williams stated that on September 24, at the Filippi Winery there will be a fundraiser for the
birthday of the Rancho Cucamonga Public Library. There will be a band, door prizes, winery tours,
storytimes for the children, a clown, petting zoo and a barbeque. Tickets will be sold in the
bookstore. Adults are $6 and children are $3. All proceeds will go directly to the Library.
President Pro Tem Muna-Landa stated the cake is being donated by Albertsons. Are we going to
be able to advertise this on the public access channel?
Paul Williams stated, yes.
President Pro Tem Muna-Landa stated she had an idea and wanted to bounce it off of staff, a friend
of hers from Concord Foods suggested staff might want to try a fundraiser where we would insert
a flyer with every book in which the pan:on would receive a discount at local pizza places or Italian
restaurants, and he in turn would round up all of these Italian restaurants and pizza places to make
a donation ora $1 for every pizza.
Deborah Clark, Library Manager, asked if President Pro Tern Muna-Landa wanted to establish a date
for the Task Force to meet, this would be a good idea to bring up and staff could talk it through.

President Pro Tem Muna-Landa asked if within the budget, do we pay for dues for Boardmembers?
Deborah Clark, Library Manager, stated yes.
President Pro Tem Muna-Landa stated that she would rather that their dues not be paid and keep up
staffs dues.
Boardmember Swistock agreed with that. He would like staff to bring it back to the next meeting.
E3. President Pro Tern Muna-Landa stated that with the donations being received from the
community, she would like to have a system in place where there would be certificates which would
be sent to the businesses to thank them as well as letters.
Deborah Clark, Library Manager, asked if the Board would like some type of program for next
month on the agenda of things staff might do to recognize donors.
E4. Boardmember Davies stated on the monthly statistics, there was a donation of $100 during
the month of August. Is there a way that the Boardmembers might be aware of who donated that and

FROM: Deborah Kaye Clark, Library Manager
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF GRANT APPLICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Approve grant application submitted on September 15th to the State Library for the sum of $20,447.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The State Library, under the directorship of Kevin Start, invited local history grant applications and
emphasized the importance of joint projects to achieve resource sharing and result in the best service
gain for the greatest population. Under such guidelines, we have partnered with the Upland Public
Library to present the application entitled "Words and Visions of Historic West End: Upland and
Cucamonga, the Vintage Year.
Working with the historical collection located in Upland, the grant would hire a part time temporary
librarian for 15 hrs. per week to perform the tasks outlined in the project summary, on page 11 of the
agenda.
In writing this grant, both member libraries stressed the need to use "in-kind" matching funds, as
opposed to actual budgeted or raised dollars. While this may place restraints on the likelihood of
funding, it was a budgetary necessity.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
A commitment of $2,500 for two year from both the Friends of the Rancho Cucamonga Public Library
and the Friends of the Upland Public Library.

8. Project Summary: complete in space provided.
Together, the Upland Public Library and the Rancho Cucamonga Public Library comprise t82,000
residents and over 35 square miles of historic Inland Empire. The Upland Public Library has been
collecting materials of historic interest for the past 30 years. The scope oftbe collection is broad,
consisting of documents, local histories, photographs and oral history tapes. (Attachment A). The
Rancho Cucamonga Public Library, while new, also houses a collection of materials collected by the
City, containing over 25 oral and transcribed local histories and approximately 100 photographs.
A Historic Preservation Advisory Committee for the two groups was created in August and had their first
meeting September 7th. (Attachment A). The consensus of the group, concurred to by staff, was that
while serving as a repository for materials, lack of funding for staff and resources has resulted in small
at'tempt at preservation, little organization or knowledge of the strengths of the collection and poor
access for the public.
Working with the Committee as a focus group, the following proposal for funding was created:
The thrust of this proposal is to hire a project coordinator to work for 15 hrs. p6r week at the Upland
Public Library along with a corps of volunteer and support staff to accomplish thc following:
1) Assess the collections, evaluate the holdings, and recommend specific preservation needs
2) Establish guidelines for the cataloging through OCLC of documents, photographs and oral
history tapes in the collection
3) Orient and train staff at the Upland and Rancho Cucamonga Public Libraries as to the scope and
content of the collections, basic arts in preservation of materials and basic cataloging to continue
the project in the future
4) Select a minimum of 100 oral history tapes and 100 pl~otographs for reproducing and
cataloging for maximum accessibility. The selection emphasis will be on photographs and oral
history tapes that reflect the multiethnic roots oftbe community, especially those that relate
histories of the three major historic drives of the area: 1) Water management 2) The Citrus
Industry 3) The Wine Industry
5) Design a long range plan to allow the libraries, through the intervention of staff and
volunteers, to continue to catalog and reproduce in a logical order the remaining
collection and additional donations received
6) Create a publicity plan that will include the on-going acquisition of historical materials of
interest as well as generating a publicity piece to promote the audio/visual history
available
Upland Public Library and the Rancho Cucamonga Public Library are committed to the joint sharing of
resources. Copies of originals will be freely exchanged, providing greater access for the public. Both
libraries are committed to the continuing effort to collect materials, with the understanding that original
documents will be located in the geographically most appropriate Library, and a copy to the other
agency.

14. Personnel requirements and staff training.
Staff to be hired: I Librarian, 20 hrs. per week for a period of 9 months
The part time Librarian will be recruited as a part time salaried position for the City of Upland. Required
is cataloging experience on OCLC as well as some archival work. Desirable is experience in supervision
and training. Job description is attached (ARachment C). This position will be expected to develop a
classification system as well as catalog materials and train volunteers and key support staff
This position will work directly under the supervision of Linda Yao, Director of the Upland Public
Library.
Reference Librarian Jim Corwin, on staff at the Rancho Cucamonga Public Library, will serve as special
consultant on the project. ~h'. Corwin's background is extensive in the arena of archival work
(Attachment D) and he will provide the preservation training for staff and public.
Overall project organization cha~ is atracbed as ARachment E, including current volunteers who served
as for library employees for Upland Public Library, specializing in archival care.
15. Means of Identifying and Locating Materials
The 100 photos and 100 oral history tapes selected for the major focus of this project will be cataloged
directly into OCLC. Both Upland and Rancho Cucamonga Public Library are OCLC clients and will
supply terminals and staff for dial-up access. Since the photo and oral histories are unique, original
online input will be required. This item is budgeted for under operations at the rate of $4 per cataloged
item.
These items will appear in the on-line catalogs of both Upland and Rancho Cucamonga Public Library,
resulting in dial up access for information regarding these records. In addition, future plans for both
Upland and Rancho Cucamonga Public Library include Interact access to the public by January, 1996.
Rancho Cucamonga plans to generate a pro. iect to provide digitized information by dial-up access
through the Interact for the photographic collection. There is strong interest in the School Districts for
this project and current technology exists in Rancho Cucamonga to make it cost effective to supply.
Finally, the publicity piece to be produced at the close of the project will be a visible print reminder of
the wealth of material available to interested local historians.
Project Title: Tales Of The West End
Applicant Jurisdiction: Upland Public Library
16. Statewide Significance.
Significant in both the photo and oral history collections are facts and lore relating to the ful[owing
issues: water rights, citrus growing and the California wine industry. Water and all of the issues relating
to the management of water distribution is mentioned in many of the interviews including accounts of
local zanjeros who controlled the water flow to the growers. Of historical significance in the Inland
Empire region is the settlement of this area by the Chaffey brothers. The Chaffeys developed a system to
manage the distribution of water based on the amount of land owned. This is a significant development
for a State that has a history of drought and where a great percentage of the land is considered semi-
desert. In addition, approximately 10% of the oral history interviews collected are in Spanish. Since
many interviewed worked for the local vineyards citrus groves, grape groves and packing houses, these
interviews provide a wealth of information about the working and living conditions of these laborers. Of
particular interest is one interview of a worker who was heavily involved in the 1933 labor strike of
vineyard workers.
While this project will give some assistance to the entire local history collection, the major focus will be
on the oral histories and photos that support the issues of California's diversity, California's major citrus
industry and California's burgeoning wine industry.
17. Evaluation Process.
The Historic Preservation Committee, is composed of citizens representing the following local historical
organizations: Etiwanda Historical Society/Upland Historical Society; Rancho Cucamonga Historical
Commission Upland's Women's Club and Rancho Cucamonga Women's Club; Charley Communities
Cultural Center; Chaffey Joint Union High School District
In addition to first establishing our pilot project format, this group will review classification method,
access methodology, the initial 200 items selected for treatment and the final long range plan to maintain
and preserve this effort so that it will continue in the future. The public will also be invited, in each
publicity announcement, to share particular interests with the staff working on the project and finally, the
two public presentation on preserving family and local history documents will also formally request
input on interests for local history materials through a written survey.
18. Methods of Continuation.
The creation of a Long Range Plan for continuation of the project is critical for this joint project of two
public libraries. While funding is limited for both jurisdictions, volunteerism is exceptionally strong. To
add strength to the project, both the Upland Public Library Friends as well as the Rancho Cucamonga
Public Library Friends have agreed to donate $1,500 each to purchase preservation materials for this year
and the next year as well to show good faith for the project and commitment to a long range goal of
continuation.

The cataloging guidelines established, as well as the classification system created by the project staff
under the assistance of Jim Corwin, will be readily accessible and used by staff at both the Upland and
Rancho Cucamonga Public Libraries.
Finally, both libraries will be using the methods provided in the project with the capability of providing
digitized information to the public in the future. While not considered "stable", it is extremely popular
with both the public and the school districts, who wish to access photographic information in that most
convenient format.

Curriculum Vitae
James A. Com4n is currently one of the reference librarians here at the Rancho Cucamonga Public
Librar-j. Prior to joining the staff Mr. Corwin was employed by the Huntington Library & Art
Collections as Principal Manuscript Conservator and Head of the Conservation Department. In
March of 1991 the Los Angeles Times wrote a feature article about him (attached). When the Los
Angeles Public Library burned in 1986 Mr. Corwin was one of the first to receive a call from the
staffand he worked on the preservation of materials from the rare book vaults. Mr. Corwin was a
charter member of LAPNet (Los Angeles Preservation Network) o a group of conservators and
library administrators formed shortly after the disastrous L.A. Public Libraxy fires - where he taught
many workshop classes on disaster preparedness and the preservation of family heirlooms. In
graduate school while working towards his Masters Degree in Library Science he helped preserve
the local history collection pertaining to the Japanese Internment during World War II that was
housed at the California State University at Fullerton. During his tenure at the Huntington Library
from 1980-1992, he lectured, and taught workshops extensively throughout Southern California
about the proper care, repair and preservation of family papers and photographs.

He Hopes Not to Leave His Mark on Presidents' Papers
A~ngeles Times (LT) - MONDAY February 18, 1991
BOB POOL; TIMES STAFF WRITER

Word Count: 689
James A. Corwin got a letter from George Washington the other day.
It was a simple one-page note. But it spoke eloquently about 200 years of
rough treatment at the hands of historians and it cried out for Corwin's help.
The letter was delivered to the right man: Corwin is an expert at repairina
the frayed remnants of historical figures. ~
These days, every day is Presidents' Day for Corwin. He is principal
manuscript conservator for the Huntington Library in San Marino, where he has
begun a major preservation effort for the papers of George Washington and
Abraham Lincoln.
The library's famous collection--started in 1919 by railroad tycoon Henry
Huntington--contains 450 documents signed by Washington and more than 250 items
signed by Lincoln.
The collection draws scholars from all over the world seeking a hands-on feel
for the two American presidents' words. But that personal touch, along with the
ravages of time, are leaving many documents brittle and torn.
"The greatest damage to documents is from people simply handling them," said
in, 36, of San Dimas. Exposure to air and light also causes deterioration.
modern inventions such as ballpoint pens, adhesive tape, plastic binder
covers and metal paper clips.
Corwin and assistant Susan Rogers, 38, of Altadena are methodically examining
each Washington and Lincoln document and making repairs when needed. Their goal
is to make their work invisible.
The Washington letter was a real challenge.
Dated Aug. 31, 1792, it was written as a letter of reference on a large sheet
of paper that was folded and sealed with a glob of wax.
"This one is torn in several places and worn through. It needs patching where
the missing piece has been pulled away. It should be reinforced along its
fold," Corwin said as he studied the letter over a special filtered light
table.
Patching and reinforcing work is done with a durable Japanese tissue paper
made from shrubs and tree bark, he said. It is glued to the damaged document
with a non-staining, non-shrinkable mixture made from zin shofu, a Japanese
wheat starch. Industrial chemicals are used to remove damaging adhesive from
the old documents. A household misting device restores moisture to dried-out,
crumbling paper.
~rwin said everything he does to documents is reversable, which means future
'vators can remove his patchwork if new techniques are developed to
serve old paper.
"We do repairs, not restoration,,, he said. "Our work is not to make something
look bright and clean. We never do a treatment to make something look
prettier."
For that reason, Corwin decided not to do a thing to a Lincoln-signed copy of
:mancipation Proclamation brought into his office the other day by John ~.
, the Huntington's archivist of American historical manuscripts.
The historic 1862 document, which ordered the freeing of slaves, was smudged
along its edges. Its printed text and distinctive Lincoln signature were
clearly legible. The paper was not torn or frayed.
Although representative presidential documents are kept on public display in
the library, about 15 scholars each year seek permission to do hands-on
research with Lincoln and Washington papers, Rhodehamel said.
One of them, Paul Zalt, a retired Cal State Los Angeles professor, relied on
the library's collection when he wrote two books about presidential jokes and
one-liners: "Abraham Lincoln Laughing" and "George Washington Laughing."
"It's hard to articulate what it's like to work with these materials," Zal!
said. "You get all tingly. It's almost euphoric to think you're holding
something Lincoln held. On the other hand, it scares the bejabbers out of ycu.
Especially when you stand up and little flakes of paper fall off."
Corwin said he feels the same excitement when he examines a prized letter cr
important document.
One of the papers he recently worked on was an April 11, 1865, note written
by Lincoln to his personal bodyguard, giving the man the night off on the day
oln made his fatal visit to Ford's Theatre.
don't want to think of them as relics," he said of such documents.
"If you do, you get awfully nervous. But I've never made a mistake I couldn't
fix."

FROM: Robert Karatsu, Principal Librarian
SUBJECT: APPROVAL TO APPLY FOR MURLS GRANT
RECOMMENDATION
Approval to apply for MURLs funding from the State Library for the sum of $9,240 to be used toward
the purchase of Reference materials and any recommendation or input from the Board regarding
potential needs they have identified in reference services.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
This year, the Library is eligible for a MURLs grant. MURL stands for Major Urban Resource Libraries.
MURLs grants are funded by the Federal Government using Library Services and Construction Act
(LSCA) monies. The California State Library administers all MURLs funds.
In California, all public libraries serving a jurisdiction of over 100,000 people are eligible for MUILLs
funding. Using a population-based formula created by the State Library, the Rancho Cucamonga Public
Library is eligible for $9,240.
The intent of the MURLs program is threefold:
- To support and expand the library services and resources of major urban resource libraries.
- To expand the collections of major urban resource libraries in ways which address regional needs.
- To assure statewide access to the collections of major urban resource libraries.
Within the next few weeks, Reference Staffwill discuss the focus &this grant application. Preliminary
discussions have centered around three areas &need: 1). Business resources, particularly specialized
CD-ROM products and trade directories; 2). Resources to support school assignments; and 3). Resources
to assist the job hunter.
The complete grant application is due at the State Library on October 31 st, 1995. At the November
meeting &the Library Board the final grant application, including resources to be purchased, will be
presented for their approval.
