Information Questions: Information questions continued to be down 2% overall. Adult Reference was down 6%, but Childreffs was up by 12%. The Adult Information figure rose slightly, perhaps in recognition of the new slim client terminals installed. Children's Programs: Overall attendance at children's programs is up as is the average number of children attending each session. The overall % increase in the number of children served is 36% for the month and 23% so far this year. This high number is partially attributable to the extremely successful end-of-thosummer Reading Program Fair, which attracted over 550 youngsters. Technology Center Visitors: Overall, we showed a 3% increase in growth for the month and an 11% growth for the year. Items Classified: New books are good news and we continue strong in this area, with a 50% jump for the month of new materials classified and a 55% overall for the year. Volunteer Hours: Drop in volunteer hours by 36%. This is due to the fact that during the training time of newCirculation staff members, no new volunteers are accepted. We will begin adding and training new volunteers in October.

The City takes the entire amount due on Fringe Benefits during the first month of operation. This creates a rather substantial negative balance. Example: Library account is immediately deficited $229,560 to cover fringe benefits for the entire year. Highlights: 5010: Part Time Salaries Part time salaries are now at 82.92% and right on target. 5200: Operations Book purchases are at 59% remaining, largely due to heavy encumbrances in the area o£books, videos, dvd's and cd rom. This account will stabilize over the next few months. 5403: Electric Utilities Already at only 74% remaining, this account is going to be in the red by the end of the year!~ut so will every other entity in California this year! We will adjust this account at the mid-year budget process. Adult Literacy: Summary: Par~ time salaries continue to be overspent. This is due to the computer tutoring for seniors and the bi-annual Literacy Recognition program. We will either reduce hours in this program or identify a new "revenue stream" to pay for the overage. Overall, budget is on target for the year. Family Literacy: Summary: Full time salary accounting methods need to be adjusted. Currently, the wrong account is being billed. Overall, this account is on target for the year. After School Learning Program Summary: On target for the year. Bookmobile Expenditures: Summary: Low expenditures in the account since the work performed is all back up and administrative tasks. Library Board of Trustees Summary: $3,350 available for meetings, conferences and Library activities for Board development. Redevelopment Agency Funds: Summary: No account activity recorded yet this year. -3- R A N C H O C U C A M O N G A PUBLIC LIBRARY Staff Report DATE: September 27, 2001 TO: President and Members of the Board of Library Trustees FROM: Deborah Kaye Clark, Library Director SUBJECT: UPDATE ON THE IN SERVICE TRAINING OFAUGUST 24TM, 2001 RECOMMENDATION Information only.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS As outlined in the attached memo from City Planner Brad Buller, Mrs. Martha Gaines Stoebe allowed the city to reprint her classic local history, the "History of Alta Loma California". She requested that $1,000 be set aside for use as a scholarship. The city has requested the Library Board to consent to administer this scholarship fund. The Library Director recommends the Library Board undertake this task and will happily provide the staff support necessary to carry it through. FISCAL IMPACT No significant impact. ore~htfully submitted, Library Directok..~ TH E CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA Memorandum DATE: August 15, 2001 TO: ,/,.~~ah Clark, Library Director FRO~'~//~Brad Duller, City Planner "- Shonda Bello, Planning Aide SUBJECT: HISTORY OF ALTA LOMA CALIFORNIA 1880-1980 BY MARTHA GAINES STOEBE In June 2000, the City of Rancho Cucamonga received the copyrights to the book, History of Alta Loma California 1880-1980 by Martha Gaines Stoebe. It outlines the history of the Alta Loma Community from it's beginning as Cucamonga Rancho, to the Hermosa and Iowa tracts of homes. It also shares the stories of the early residents and their families and documents the life of early citrus ranchers. A vendor was selected and 1,000 books have been ordered, which will be sold at the retail price of $35.00 each. The Administrative Services Department has agreed to handle some of the retail sales through the City of Rancho Cucamonga Gift Shop at City Hall. Mrs. Stoebe has requested that some of the proceeds be directed to a scholarship fund. An amount of $1,000 will be set aside for use as a scholarship, as requested by Mrs. Stoebe. The Library Board has been requested to oversee and implement sales of the book, as well as administration of the Stoebe Scholarship Fund. Storage of the books will be at City Hall, in the Planning Division Offices unless other arrangements are made. Delivery of the books will be the week of August 13th.

R A N C H O C U C A M O N G A ~) IJ 5 1~1C 1',I 5 I~AI~Y Staf Report TO: President and Members of the Board of Library Trustees FROM: Karye Hood, Reference Librarian DATE: September 27, 2001 SUBJECT: Update on HouseCalls Program This update on the HouseCails Program was previously requested at the August board meeting. As of this date, we have 21 volunteers and 3 patrons. We began book deliveries in the month of September and have made 3 deliveries to each one of the patrons in the program. According to our volunteers, each patron was very happy to receive their books. We call them ahead of delivery to verify the time and the selection of books. The books have a brightly colored (neon yellow) sleeve identifying them as "HouseCalls" books. Please see the attached sample. They are delivered in book bags labeled with patron information. would like to tell you about one of our HouseCalls patrons: She is 90 years old. She called me last week after her first book delivery especially to let me know how much she appreciated this service. She was so gratified that "we are doing this for her." She is one of our regular library patrons who enjoys reading the newest books in large print, but finds it increasingly difficult to come in to the library. Before HouseCalls started she had to make an arduous trip to the library every two weeks. With HouseCalls we are able to bring the books directly to her door. We are working with Susan Spears the Activity Director of Sunrise Retirement Home to bring books to their residents. We met with her in August after the board meeting. Instead of a rotating collection, she would prefer individual service to some of their residents. They do not want to take responsibility for fees with regard to IostJdamaged items. They are unwilling to cover 50% of the fee should any books be lost or damaged. Susan also had a concern over housing the book collection in a secure location. She has 10-12 residents at most who she feels would benefit from this service. The residents would each have their own library card and the books would be checked-out to them. Therefore, each library cardholder would be responsible for any lost or damaged items. Book deliveries would be made "in bulk" at a specific time. For example, every other Saturday at 10:30am would be "library day." Our volunteers would deliver the books at the designated time to the residents at the Sunrise activity center. This may be a good job some of our younger, teen volunteers. This visit would be closely supervised, as a staff member would go along to oversee the start of this service. An adult volunteer would be trained to take over this position during subsequent visits. Susan is currently working with each resident in filling out both library card and HouseCalls applications. She will bring these in as soon as they are completed, so we can plan further. Publicity for HouseCalls is ongoing. We have delivered brochures in person to senior housing in the city, such as the Alta Laguna mobile home park activity center, Villa Pacifica, Villa Del Rey, and Rudolph-Hendrickson apartments. We've had publicity through the Daily Bulletin, RC-TV 3, as well as the "Senior Services" in the Fall city Grapevine. Respectfully submitted, -2-
