EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF STATUS OF BUDGET
Library Expenditures:
Summary:
Expenditures with 66% of the year remaining are at 56% remaining. 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 68.86%, on target with modest savings.
5200: Operations
Book purchases are at 49.53% remaining, largely due to heavy encumbrances in the area of books, videos, dvd's and
cd rom. This account will stabilize over the next few months.
5403: Electric Utilities
Already at only 44.18% remaining, this account is going to be in the red by the end of the year!--but so will every
other entity in California this year! We will adjust this account at the mid-year budget process.
Adult Literacy:
Summary:
Part 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:
Accounting errors still present. However, they reflect savings in the overall literacy programs that should cover the
over expended part time salaries in the Adult Literacy area.
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:
Monies spent on the California Library Association Conference and the lntemet Conference not yet shown as spent.
Redevelopment Agency Funds:
Summary:
Redevelopment funds reflect the completion of the installation of the new flat screen technology and the payment of
most of the on-line data base fees. Consequently, RDA budget shows only 44% remaining with 66% remaining in
the year.

On behalf of the Palos Verdes Library District Board of Trustees, congratulations on your
appointment.
We are scheduled to have our transition meeting June 1 i, at 7 pm at Peninsula Center Library and
hope you can attend.
Believe it or not, 9 months is a very short time and there is much to accomplish in this area. Your
predecessors, under Trustee Jim Moore's leadership, reinvigorated the Student Trustees role.
In addition to picking up on the work they have done, I am hoping one of the major end products as
a result of your work will be in the area of a shared technology infrastructure with your respective
schools. Specifically, a common wireless network access method of laptop users, using the library's
website as a portal for the schools and perhaps more.
Again, I look forward to meeting with you and working with you throughout the year. If you have
any questions, please feel free to contact Mema Marshall, Executive Assistant, at 310-377-9584, ext.
245.
Sincerely,

Dear FIE_LD(salutation) FiELD(last name):
The Trustees of the Palos Verdes Library District express our gratitude for your interest in the
Library and our community. It is students like you who are the leaders and creators of the future.
You exemplify what can be accomplished through hard work, efficiency, dedication and
willingness to give to your school and community.
Nine applications for the three student trustee positions were given to us for final consideration.
Each student is highly qualified and has exhibited outstanding contributions to their schools and
community along with superior personal achievements. The decision to choose only three
students was extremely difficult. After lengthy deliberations, the Student Board Committee
selected Kevin Lau, Peninsula High, Jonathan Bray, Rolling Hills Prep, and Alexander Barth,
Chadwick.
We thank you for your interest in the Library and ask that you continue the same through your
use of our resources and the promotion of the Library through your various school channels, and
personally to your fellow students.

Staff Report
DATE: January 10, 2002
TO: President and Members of the Library Board of Trustees
FROM: Deborah Kaye Clark, Library Director
SUBJECT: LIBRARY BOARD LIAISONS
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Library Board review the current liaison opportunities for Board member
involvement and take appropriate action, including the adding of new positions and/or
elimination of current positions and appointments.
Current Positions:
School Services (Current appointee: Joyce Womack)
Work with the School Districts, promote special communications or events,
support School/Library partnerships at Council or other civic meetings, be
prepared to speak on Library activities and services to the schools.
Business Services (Current appointee: vacant)
Work with local businesses and the Chamber of Commerce, promote special
fundraisers connected to business, advise on key areas of additional services to
business, be prepared to speak on Literacy activities and services.
Foundation Board (Current appointee: Donna Bradshaw)
Serve as a Director on the Library Foundation, attend monthly meetings with all
voting powers; work with the Foundation on the Library Telethon and other
fundraising projects.
Literacy Services (Current appointee: vacant)
Work with Literacy Staff from the joint Rancho Cucamonga and Upland Library
program to provide and improve literacy services, assist in identifying grant
opportunities for literacy, support literacy projects at Council and other civic
meetings, be prepared to speak on Literacy activities and services.

Work with Young Adult staff to plan and promote Young Adult programs, advise

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
These special areas of service were selected in 1999. Library roles or services may
have changed since they were established. Other areas of interest may have arisen,
such as technology services, senior services, outreach services, etc.
While all Board members will be involved in each of these areas in their role as policy
makers, the assignment of particular service areas to each Board member will facilitate
assignment of special duties (meetings to attend, special projects to advise, etc.)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF STATISTICS
Circulation/Library Visitors:
The statistics look a little different this month. We have separated the Bookmobile data from Archibald
Library data. Under the new method of tracking, circulation is up at Archibald by 8%; overall for the
library, 11% over last year. Registration declined by 15% (due to last year's Kid's Card registration
drive), but visitation is up 1% for the month--but 15% overall for the library so far this year.
Information Questions:
The Adult Information area declined by 17% in terms of the number of questions answered, but
Children's Information continued to be up 42%. Overall for the year, a decline of 2%.
Children's Programs:
Attendance at children's programs this past December was down by 34% compared to last year. This is
due to the elimination of seven storytimes during the week of Christmas. The storytimes were dropped
due to the low attendance during the holiday week. Overall for the year, attendance at children's
programs continues to show a 9% increase.
Technology Center Visitors:
A decline of 1% is shown for the month of December. Overall, we show a 0% growth for the year. This
issue and the presumed causes for the change will be fully discussed at the February 2002 Board meeting.
Items Classified:
Overall 15% increase of books processed for this fiscal year.
Volunteer Hours:
Growth of 9% for this month in volunteer hours. Overall, we continue to show an overall decline in
volunteer hours of 6%, but that number is diminishing with the addition of "HouseCalls" volunteer hours.

Staff Report
TO: Deborah Clark, Library Director
and the President and Members of the Board of Library Trustees
FROM: Karye Hood, Reference Librarian
DATE: January 9, 2002
SUBJECT: Update on HouseCalls Program
HouseCalls has received approximately 36 volunteer applications and eleven patron
applications for service since the program began in August 2001. All volunteers have
been sent letters of acknowledgment and some have been re-directed to other library
programs since we currently have more volunteers than patrons. A flier was mailed to
all applicants advertising a volunteer coordinator position for the program. The new
Volunteer Coordinator for the HouseCalls program is Barbara Bocan. She is a former
literacy tutor at RC Library, attends the Reader's Circle bookclub, hosts a bookclub that
meets in her home, is a part-time nurse at San Antonio Hospital, and has lived with her
family in Rancho Cucamonga for many years. Barbara will be coming in one day a week
to help coordinate and organize the program.
We have not found a retirement home that is interested in a rotating collection at this
time. The activities director at Sunrise that we were working with is no longer employed
there. The new Volunteer Coordinator is going to actively pursue promotion of the
program, including this area of service. She is beginning by delivering brochures to local
area doctor's offices this week. Thus far, we are making deliveries to individuals,
including a nursing home patient. Among these we have about six patrons who live in
the Rudolph~Hendrickson Senior Apartments and a team of two volunteers that make
regular deliveries nearly every Thursday to the apartments. Most of our patrons are
seniors.
We have had a positive response from the patrons receiving the library materials. We
tailor service to meet the needs of each individual, i.e. reading preference, large print,
audio books. Materials are selected by staff according to patron request/need.
Publicity and promotion is ongoing for HouseCalls. The current issue (Winter)
Grapevine has an advertisement on page 8 (see attached). There have also been
articles and news items in the Daily Bulletin, L.A. Times (Inland Valley section), and
cable TV messages.

At this time We are looking for a Volunteer Coordinator for the HouseCalls program.
Job Title: Homebound Services Volunteer Coordinator
Job Description: This is a volunteer position that oversees the HouseCalls volunteers
and library patrons. The coordinator is responsible for maintaining contact between the
volunteers and library patrons, and arranging delivery schedules. It may involve several
hours of work per week. This is a new program and a new position, therefore work may
vary or be adjusted according to the needs of the program.
Skills required:
Microsoft Word, good communication skills and ability to work well with varying age
groups.
Minimum age:
21 and over. Must have a valid driver's license and access to a vehicle.
Training Offered:
The coordinator will be given a minimum amount of training regarding the structure of
the HouseCalls program, the Circulation Department and library loan policies, and the
requirements of the volunteer position.
Minimum Commitment:
A minimum of 2 hours per week. Weekday availability is necessary. Plus the ability to
contact as needed. Reliability is vital.
Personal Advantages of the position:
This is an opportunity to serve the community and will provide a sense of satisfaction to

around on their own. This would be a great position for a stay-m-home mom with some
spare time, a retiree, or an active senior, or anyone with flexible hours.
