Dear Charlotte,
As per our conversation I am writing to respond to your request for more information about the $34,845 line item for Books and Materials listed in the County Library Operating Statement for FY2002-2003 for Hermosa Beach Library.
The amount includes the costs of materials incurred directly when Nina and I purchase materials for the Hermosa Beach Library, as well as the costs incurred by librarians working at Library headquarters or the Regional offices, who also purchase materials for Hermosa Beach customers. For example, librarians at headquarters purchase electronic databases and online resources that are available to all library customers, in the library as well as from home. Regional collection coordinators choose materials in designated subject areas. Nina and I select materials for local needs and to replace worn out or missing books. We have opportunities to give input to our colleagues at headquarters and the Regional offices by submitting detailed analyses of the collection and the needs of our customers.
Sincerely,
Linda Dickerson
