  • Annual Report.Indd
    ANNUAL REPORT 2004-2005 Dear Friends, The 2004-2005 program year was a year of signifi cant growth for SE Works. We became part of the City of Portland’s Economic Opportunities Initiative, began offering basic skills classes and GED preparation, focused more specifi cally on particular industries, pursued new areas of expertise, developed new partnerships, added staff, tapped into new customer bases by expanding partnerships, and we went international. In addition, we made signifi cant enhancements to our existing programs. The pages in this report illustrate how each of these achievements allow us to more fully realize the mission of SE Works. As we pursued new ventures and improved our existing services, a common theme was a stronger emphasis on advanced training and long-term career development for job seekers. We did this by increasing the budget for participant training and supportive services, lengthening the amount of time we work with customers, and fi nding ways to better leverage partner resources. It was an exciting and invigorating year. We are anticipating more growth and change in the coming program year. Major new initiatives include: ♦ Expanding our business services -- SE Works received a grant from the Paul G. Allen Foundation to fund our “social enterprise.” We will be offering customized recruitment and screening services to area employers. Revenue generated will be reinvested in SE Works’ programs. ♦ Community Learning Center -- This resource was so well received that it was at capacity almost immediately. Beginning with our annual auction, resource development efforts will be directed to increasing the educational resources available to residents.

While much of shrinkage can be due to theft, it is impossible to distinguish between this and misplaced or inaccurate material accounting. Results reported herein should be considered a baseline assessment and not an annualized rate. There are three general ways to categories how shrinkage occurs to the library collection: materials are borrowed by patrons and unreturned; items which cannot be located are subsequently placed on missing status; and materials missing in the inventory, where the catalog identifies them as being on the shelf, are not located after repeated searches. Each of these three ways was assessed and reported separately due to the nature of their tracking. Shrinkage was measured for all branches and outreach services and for most material types, with the exception of non-circulating reference materials, paperbacks, CD-ROMS, maps, and the special collections. This analysis reflected 1.67 million of the 2.06 million item multi-branch collection (87% of the entire collection).

  • Before the Multnomah County Library District Board
    BEFORE THE MULTNOMAH COUNTY LIBRARY DISTRICT BOARD RESOLUTION NO. 2017-057 Adopting the Multnomah County Library Space Planning Framework. The Multnomah County Library District (MCLD) Board Finds: a. Established in 1864, today's Multnomah County Library is one of the busiest, best and most beloved public library systems in the United States. b. The library offers a wide range of resources, services and personal assistance to people of all ages. c. The library commenced a space planning process in July 2016, engaging nearly 4,000 residents, community leaders, partner agencies, educators and nonprofits for input and carefully reviewed use patterns, demographic data and industry best practices. d. The physical structure of this system began in the Andrew Carnegie era, when libraries served vastly different purposes than today. e. Multnomah County Library's library spaces total just 260,000 square feet, a rate of just over 0.3 square feet per capita. Other Oregon library systems offer up to three times that amount per capita. f. All 19 Multnomah County libraries, plus library office and storage space, would fit into Seattle's downtown library. g. Growth projections show an increase of population to more than 910,000 in Multnomah County by 2035. h. Demographic data show increasing needs in east Portland and east Multnomah County, which offers just 25% of total library space, yet is home to 40% of residents. The Multnomah County Library District Board Resolves: 1. Adopt the findings of Multnomah County Library Framework for Future Library Spaces, authored by Group 4 Architecture. 2. Envision a resulting system of libraries that provides modern and adequate spaces for people across Multnomah County.
