RECOMMENDATION

RANCHO
cUCAMONGA
Staff recommends that the Library Board of Trustees direct staff to use $12,000 in startup funds to
create a starter collection of video games for both the Archibald and Biahe Libraries.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Through its library collection development policy, the Rancho Cucamonga Library has always
sought to offer materials that meet the informational and recreational needs of the public. "Popular
materials" like new fiction, paperbacks, magazines, CDs, DVDs, etc. are established and important
library collections that meet these needs. In an effort to keep enhancing our offerings, the Raricho
Cucamonga Library is interested in exploring new and different formats for popular. materials,
particularly in the area of media, which has proved to enhance both circulation figures and
revenues. Based on that philosophy, staff would like to offer, "video console games," a format
which Fias, in the past 5-7 years, experienced an enormous surge in popularity among both adults
and teenagers.
What are video console games?
"Video game console" refers to the dedicated gaming machine; such as an Xbox or Playstation.
Cohsole games are contained on a CD-ROM or DVD disc. Game consoles come in a variety of
proprietary formats, the most ubiquitous being the Xbox, and the Playstatidn, manufactured by
Microsoft and Sohy respectively. There is a new console that was recently introduced by Nintendo
td much fanfare called the Wii (but it is quite expensive, there are not a lot of game titles available
ahd it has little market saturatioh (at this time).
Video game statistics
• According to the Entertainment Software Association, video games area $7 billion industry in the
United States alone.
• 67% of heads of households play video games.
• The average age of a video game player is 33.
The average age of a video game buyer is 38.
• 77% of teenagers in the U.S. have a video game console.
• 65% of video game players are male.
• 49% of parents play video games with their children/grandchildren.
• 65% of video games sold are in the categories of sports, action, family, and racing. 10% sold are
fighting games
APPROVAL TO STARTA VIDEO GAMES COLLECTION
PAGG2
OCfOn13K 11, ?007
Why should video console games be offered as part of the Archibald and Biane materials
collections?
Circulating video games is a way to draw users into the library. Once they realize there are other
materials available to them, chances are they will check out more than just the video games in
the collection. Other libraries around the country have developed video game collections
successfully, resulting in higher circulation rates.
Offering video games as part of the materials collection will appeal to the library's most reluctant
audiences -male adults and male teenagers. Currently library cardholders between the ages
of 18 and 40 are 62% female to 38% male. This collection could draw in some of those males
currently not using the library.
Programming staff are eager to begin offering library programs utilizing gaming software, i.e.
"Guitar Hero." Offering these games for check out will be a draw to the programs.
Video Game Ratings
Video games are designed to appeal to a wide variety of abilities, interests and ages. Like videos
and DVDs, video games have adopted a rating system. A list of the ratings are outlined below.
• EC (early childhood -suitable for ages 3+) -Examples include Dora the Explorer, Winnie the
Pooh, Elmo
• E (everyone -suitable for ages 6+) -Examples include NBA, FIFA Soccer, Monster Jam, Hot
Wheels, Tiger Woods PGA Tour, Madden NFL
• E10+ (everyone 10 and older) -Examples include Power Rangers, Spiderman, Godzilla,
Puzzlequest, Harry Potter, Shrek
• T (teen -suitable for ages 13+) -Examples include The Simpsons, Guitar Hero, World Series of
Poker, Tony Hawk's Proving Ground, Pirates of the Caribbean, Tomb Raider
• M (suitable for ages 17+) -Examples include CSI, Halo 3; Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six, Mortal
Kombat, The Godfather, Grand Theft Auto
• A (adult only)
• RP (rating pending)
While the Library is not proposing labeling or segregating the video games, we will be proposing
that they be handled consistent with our DVD collection-that is, checkout limited to library card
holders' 18-years and older. This takes into account the fact that some games are considered
appropriate only for older audiences.
How will RCPL staff select and display video games?
For the initial "core" collection of video games, library staff suggests buying a selection of games for
both Playstation and X-Box gaming consoles, since they are the most popular gaming units. We
will monitor the selections and popularity of the Wii before suggesting adding that format. Luckily,
as new versions of gaming consoles are released, they are backwards compatible, so older games
can be played on the newer consoles. Staff recommends selecting games that range from EC to M
ratings. Even though the average age of video game players is thirty three years old, games with
APPROVAL TO S'T'ART A VIDEO GAMES COLLECTION PAGE 3
OCI'OH13R 11, 2007
the most popularity range from E to M, with sports and action (predominantly E and T) being the
most popular types of games.
With the popularity of the video gaming industry, "most popular" titles lists are readily available.
Library staff will employ lists from Amazon, Best Buy, video game magazines, other library
collections, etc. to select the best, most in demand titles for the library. In addition, library staff will
also select titles that will meet the needs of the library customers, including popular children's titles,
teen recommendations, customer requests, etc.
Video games will be displayed with other media at both libraries. Since games are in DVD format,
the library will house each item -(like DVDs) in Gressco cases for security purposes. (As an aside,
the library's DVD and CD cleaning devices will also work on video games, thus prolonging the life of
each item.),
FISCAL IMPACT
Collection
The average cost of video games range from $30-$60
• Archibald core collection budget: $6,000 ($30-$60 average cost per video game)
• Biane core collection budget: $6,000 ($30-$60 average cost per video game)
• Annual selection budget Archibald: $3,000
• Annual selection budget Biane: $3,000
• Total Archibald and VG budget impact: $12,000 startup costs; $6,000 per year thereafter
Fees
In keeping with dther media, library staff recommends charging a rental fee for the check out of all
video games. With the average rental fee at video stores running $7.99 per week rental, the library
is suggesting charging $6 per one-week checkout and $3 per day overdue charge. At this rate,
each library anticipates a minimum of $12,000 annually in revenue from the video game circulation.

RANCHO
C,,UCAMONGA
Staff recommends that the Library Board review the current date and time established for the
Regular Meeting of the Library Board of Trustees and determine if they wish to amend date or time
or continue with the existing date of the second Thursday of every month at the time of 6:30 p.m.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Each Commission is allowed to establish a meeting date and time that works best for the members
of that commission., The Library Board of Trustees has consistently been held on a Thursday night,
due to the limited availability of Council Chambers. However, that date has varied between the first
and second Thursdays and the time frame has fluctuated between 6 p.m., 6:30 and 7 p.m.
Other dates and times may be considered by the Board, but the availability of Council Chambers
will continue to be a major factor in determining the meeting schedule.
The Council Chambers are available on the following days:
First, third or fourth Mondays of the month.
First, second, third or fourth Tuesdays of the month.
First, second or fourth Thursdays of the month.

That the Library Board review proposed descriptions of duties for Board Member Liaison positions;
approve the descriptions and positions; and generate the appropriate appointments.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
In March of 2002, the Library Board determined the liaison positions below and asked Staff to
create a "job description" which was subsequently approved by the Board. Included in the
description are the current appointees.
In past practice, only one Board Member has served in the liaison capacity for each category. Staff
recommends that the Board appoint two Members for each liaison category, in order,to ensure
great support and participation.

To: , Members of the Board of Library Trustees
From: Deborah Kaye Clark, Library Services Director
Subject: APPROVAL OF STUDY ROOM POLICY
RECOMMENDATION
RANCHO
C,UCAMONGA
That the Library Board of Trustees approves the changes to the existing Study Room
Policy as outlined below.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The Library Board of Trustees is responsible for establishing policies which govern the
operation of all three library outlets under the banner of the Rancho Cucamonga Library
Services Department: the Archibald Library, the Paul A. Biane Library and the Virtual
Library.
In 2003, it was determined by the Board that any time staff proposes changes to approved
library policy, no matter how minor, the policy will be brought before the Board for review
and approval.
Attached is the Study Room Policy. Additions are noted in italics, strikeouts indicate
language removed from the policy.
The Board has requested further information regarding use of study rooms that will be
addressed by staff when the policy is re-introduced. However, these statistics should not
affect the overall policy. Below are the changes for the policy, listed in bullet point format.
Study Room Policy:
This policy has been revised to clean up language to reflect that we have study rooms in
both libraries. Also, the age restriction for using study rooms have been lowered from 18 to
14 years old, as well as minor modification to the reservation policy and identification
requirements as listed below:
• REQUIREMENTS TO USE THE ROOMS:
Age limits: Study room use is permitted for patrons 14 years or older. Children under
the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult 18 years or older while in the study
rooms.
~~
OC'rORGR 11, 2007
P~\GE 2
• Identification required: A valid library card (patrons with library fines and/or fees
exceeding $5 will be blocked from using using/reserving study rooms) will be required to be
on file for any patron wishing to use a study room. In addition, a California Driver's license,
State or Military ID card, or high school or college ID card will be required to be held by
Library staff during the use of the study room.
• The general public may reserve rooms in two hour blocks. Two reservations are allowed per
individual per week. Any individuals present in the room during the two hour use period will
also be considered to have used their two hour allotment for that day. Missed bookings
canceled due to late arrivals will still be counted.
• STUDY ROOM OCCUPANCY:
Occupancy is limited to the maximum number of people permitted per room as indicated by
the fire code and as posted for each individual study room.
