Weed-Brown informed the Board that interviews for the vacant Board of Library Trustee position have been scheduled for October 9, 2012 at 6:15 p.m.
Weed-Brown updated the Board on the Library’s RFID project. Having encountered several delays in starting the project, the estimated completion date is Thanksgiving. The process of tagging library material is taking longer than anticipated, partly due to staffing limitations and furloughs. Weed-Brown reported that library staff is currently training volunteers to help with the tagging process. The order for the equipment will be placed within the next week, as it takes approximately 10 weeks to arrive.
Weed-Brown reminded the Board that the first program in the One Community-One Book event will take place September 24, 2012 in Bidwell Forum. It is being provided in partnership with the Glendora Historical Society and Azusa Pacific University.
Weed-Brown stated that she received several positive comments regarding the literacy program held this last weekend.
Trustee Hollanders asked that Weed-Brown provide a summary of the answers to the “small town atmosphere” question Weed-Brown posed to community members. Weed- Brown confirmed that she would report back to the Board. She added that the comments received so far range from Glendora’s physical setting to knowing your neighbors and your community.
Trustee Hollanders commented on the article Helping Users Help Themselves.
Weed-Brown confirmed that the Trustees will get a hands-on demonstration of the self- checkout equipment once the RFID project has been completed.
The Trustees commented on the article Café a new chapter for Walnut Creek Library . Weed-Brown stated that Support Services Manager Baffigo has started exploring the possibility of offering beverages and snacks in the library using a vending machine. Baffigo will also research possible partnerships with local businesses. Costs and impacts, as well as legal requirements, will need to be evaluated. Weed-Brown stated that she may have an update for the Board on the library’s options by the beginning of 2013.
In response to a question, Weed-Brown replied that staff contacted Redbox to see about getting one of their machines installed in the library. Weed-Brown stated that Redbox feels they have saturated the local market and declined to work with the library. Library staff is currently exploring other revenue options, such as having a link for Amazon on the library website.

Glendora Public Library Board of Trustees Agenda Item Report
To: Board of Library Trustees From: Library Director CC: City Manager Date: October 15, 2012 Re: Report from the Library Director
Welcome to our newest Library Trustee Jennifer Leos!
We had a wonderful kick-off event for our CA Reads II-Farewell to Manzanar series on Monday, September 24. We had approximatley120 people attend this session on the 442 nd Army Unit. This event was a partnership with Azusa Pacific University (APU), the Glendora Historical Society and the Foothill Library Consortium. Our second event, the showing of the film Farewell to Manzanar drew about 40 attendees.
The Manzanar -related teacher education program at APU on Oct 5 drew approximately 35 attendees, the majority of them APU students. Despite Cindy’s outreach to GUSD principals, teachers and PTA, only one GUSD teacher attended. She was from Sellers. 45 people participated in the tour to the Japanese American National Museum on October 6 that was coordinated by Community Services. We still have 4 more programs in the series pending.
Elke Cathel created a wonderful new “Welcome to Glendora Public Library” brochure. She had input from managers, Janet, Cindy, Carlos and Sherry, and together, a very informative and inviting brochure is now available to our community. Elke and Sherry created very attractive bookmarks to promote the Opera Talks series as well. I am fortunate to have such creative people on staff.
There is something new in the lower lobby of the library-a drink vending machine. A snack vending machine will soon join it.
Sherry Heinrich and I participated in the Chamber of Commerce’s Community Business Expo on Oct. 6. It was well attended with a steady stream of people between 10 am - 2pm. There were 53 vendors in all. Library information, gift bags and giveaways enticed attendees to come and check us out. We took the opportunity to ask attendees one survey question: “Considering all that there is to know and learn, what is one thing you wish you knew more about?” It turned out to be a tougher question than we thought based on the puzzled faces and ponderings! Attached are the responses and also the ‘small town atmosphere’ responses.
You may have caught some of the media on LAPL’s library card becoming a possible ID card. Well, that turns out not to be the case. I have attached an article from Library Hotline correcting the miscommunication.
Regarding the monthly statistics: you will note some encouraging increases in many categories. Losses in reference questions reflect desk closures that now occur every month; in ‘items owned’ the ongoing lower materials budget. Next Regular Board Meeting: November 19, 2012 @ 7:00 p.m. in City Council Chambers

Item #2. Page 3 Glendorans often say (and it also came out strongly in the community survey the City did last fall) that one of the things they like best about Glendora is its “small town atmosphere.” For you, what does ‘small town atmosphere’ mean in regards to Glendora? (Sept 2012)
Familiarity. The fact that because people tend to support local businesses, charities, activities, organizations, schools, etc.; we see familiar faces and consistency in the community. I find that I can almost always find someone I know any time I attend any event.
The small town atmosphere of Glendora comes from its geography. Nestled as it is in the surrounding foothills, it is separated from other nearby communities. The Village achieves this. When one is standing in the Village one knows they are in a place that has identity, not just at a point on some highway, or a spot in some strip mall. A place that is small enough to be intimate. One knows the owners of the businesses that line the street, and knows which businesses are in this block, and the next block. It is a place where one can feel that they belong.
Well I don’t know if I count because I don’t live here anymore. But, I did love it because you know everyone. Most of the shop owners and business are involved in many parts of the community. Glendora has all of the makings of the “home town feel”. Parades, holiday strolls, flashback etc.
Small town atmosphere means to me that people are respected for whom they are and that they are active in servicing the community where they live.
Living on a street where all neighbors know each other, have keys to each other’s homes, watch your animals when you’re gone and have get together a couple times a year.
You can go into (stores, banks, donutshop etc.) call the person by 1st name.
It's all wrapped up in the atmosphere of the village and maybe the drive east on Foothill from Grand to Lone Hill, or the drive along Sierra Madre and the individual homes.
Small mom and pop shops doing business with folks that know your name.
The youth sports and the number of volunteers it takes to make that all work and your dept the library and what it has to offer.
There are several things that come to mind, but the most important to me is that I can usually run into someone I know wherever I go. I enjoy that aspect of Glendora so much!
To me "Small Town Atmosphere" is that feeling of "Americana" and "Friendship" you get in Glendora. The our town, our home, pride you feel. When you see someone you know everywhere you go. Kind of like "Cheers" where everyone knows your name. Or like "Music Man" where we still have a hometown; "Christmas parade" and hometown gatherings like the "Holiday Stroll". Glendora is a town steeped in Tradition(s) Over time most of Glendora's young and senior participate in some way. Christmas Parade, Holiday Stroll, Trivia Challenge, Summer Readers Club, Concerts in the Park, Holiday Baskets, Flashback, Movies in the Park, Band O Rama, Night on the Plaza, and on and on......

Meeting Date 10/15/2012 / Packet Page -7- Item #2. Page 4 A centrally located "middle of town" where city services are available near shops, the post office, markets, etc. A definite main street with shops and businesses Churches located near the center of town Community events where people of all ages can mingle and enjoy themselves Parades full of local kids Lots of opportunities for community service
I think most everyone looks for the small town atmosphere when they seek a place to set up their family residence.
By that, I mean, the American public always tends to seek comfort, convenience and security when they select their future or new home site. Clearly, folks with families tend to look closely at the local school system and how it compares to other school districts.
They also look closely at the local security, police & fire departments and how well they function. Also, the local hospitals and availability of good health care.
People always give attention to the local city, its cleanliness as well as the available shopping.
Probably the most important consideration in selecting a strong community, is traditionally the local Library, how well it’s supported and how well that library performs in its community outreach. Actually, a well performing library within a community, usually serves as one of the city’s centerpiece institutions,
Also, of importance, is how well the City leadership and Council maintain good sound communications to the community as a whole.
In summary, I believe these are the key items any new homeowner would look for and seek out when making the decision to move into a community. Glendora certainly has all those elements with the Library as its centerpiece.
A small town is one that has residents and businesses along with City officials that work together for the good of the community. Having no self serving agendas, only doing what is good for all. I know that sounds a bit pie in the sky, but it does still exist, I know because I work in a city that is pretty close to achieving that. (When asked if this applies to Glendora, response was : I am not active enough in the City to have a good picture.)

Long Live Paper
By JUSTIN B. HOLLANDER
Published: October 9, 2012 New York Times
Pia Bramley LAST week, Education Secretary Arne Duncan declared a war on paper textbooks. “Over the next few years,” he said in a speech at the National Press Club, “ textbooks should be obsolete .” In their place would come a variety of digital-learning technologies, like e-readers and multimedia Web sites.
Such technologies certainly have their place. But Secretary Duncan is threatening to light a bonfire to a tried-and-true technology — good old paper — that has been the foundation for one of the great educational systems on the planet. And while e-readers and multimedia may seem appealing, the idea of replacing an effective learning platform with a widely hyped but still unproven one is extremely dangerous.
A renowned expert on reading, Maryanne Wolf, has recently begun studying the effects of digital reading on learning, and so far the results are mixed. She worries that Internet reading, in particular, could be such a source of distractions for the student that they may cancel out most other potential benefits of a Web-linked, e-learning environment. And while it’s true that the high-tech industry has sponsored substantial amounts of research on the potential benefits of Web-based learning, not enough time has passed for longitudinal studies to demonstrate the full effects.
In addition, digital-reading advocates claim that lightweight e-books benefit students’ backs and save schools money. But the rolling backpack seems to have solved the weight problem, and the astounding costs to outfit every student with an e-reader, provide technical support and pay for regular software updates promise to make the e-textbook a very pricey option.

Meeting Date 10/15/2012 / Packet Page -13- Item #2. Page 10
As both a teacher who uses paper textbooks and a student of urban history, I can’t help but wonder what parallels exist between my own field and this sudden, wholesale abandonment of the technology of paper.
For example, when cars began to fill America’s driveways, and new highways were laid across the land, the first thing cities did was encourage the dismantling of our train systems. Streetcar lines were torn up. A result, for many cities, was to rip apart the urban core and run highways through it, which only accelerated the flow of residents, commerce and investment to the suburbs.
But in recent years, new streetcar lines have been built or old systems extended in places like Pittsburgh, Jersey City and Phoenix. They are casting aside a newer technology in favor of an older one.
This lesson of technology-inspired extinction can be retold in many other domains of life: the way phonographs nearly disappeared when the music CD was invented; the rejection of bicycles in the middle of the 20th century; the shuttering of Polaroid factories with the advent of digital cameras.
My point is not that these are all pernicious or reversible developments. On the contrary, we have all benefited from new advances in medicine, communications and computing, even those that displaced familiar technologies.
The Polaroid is a wonderful device for what it is, but it will and should remain a technological novelty. On the other hand, few higher-tech formats deliver the lush sound quality of the vinyl record, and younger generations have recently returned to the format .
In other words, we shouldn’t jump at a new technology simply because it has advantages; only time and study will reveal its disadvantages and show the value of what we’ve left behind.
Which brings us back to paper. With strength and durability that could last thousands of years, paper can preserve information without the troubles we find when our most cherished knowledge is stuck on an unreadable floppy disk or lost deep in the “cloud.”
Paper textbooks can be stored and easily referenced on a shelf. Data are as easy to retrieve from paper as reaching across your desk for a textbook. They are easy to read and don’t require a battery or plug. Though the iPad and e-readers have increasingly better screen

clarity, the idea that every time a person reads a book, newspaper or magazine in the near future they will require an energy source is frightening.
The digitization of information offers important benefits, including instant transmission, easy searchability and broad distribution. But before we shred the last of the paper textbooks, let us pause and remember those old streetcars, and how great it would be if we still had them around.

Glendora Library's "Community-wide Read" series educates about Japanese Americans in World War II
By Melissa Masatani, SGVN twitter.com/mmasatani Posted: 10/03/2012 09:44:38 AM PDT Updated: 10/03/2012 09:57:26 AM PDT
World War II veteran Tokuji Yoshihashi, 89, talks with librarian Janet Stone at the Glendora Public Library before a documentary screening and panel discussion about the Japanese-American 442nd Regimental Combat Team. This program is part of "Glendora's Community-wide Read" events this Fall, exploring Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston's "Farewell to Manzanar," a tale of Japanese detention camp life during WWII. (Mike Mullen/Correspondent)
The four men greeted each other like old friends. Whether they knew each other is irrelevant. Their bond is lifelong; their shared experience, a story for history books.
More than 100 people were at the Glendora Public Library on Sept. 24 to pay tribute to the thousands of soldiers who served with the men in the 442nd Regimental Combat Unit, the 100th Battalion and the Military Intelligence Service during World War II.
Held in partnership with the Glendora Historical Society and Azusa Pacific University, the event kicked off Glendora's "Community-wide Read" series. Members of the public are invited to read Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston's "Farewell to Manzanar" and the library is holding several events
Meeting Date 10/15/2012 / Packet Page -17- Item #2. Page 14
through October to explore the story of life in the Japanese detention camps during World War II.
At the kickoff event, four surviving veterans were invited to share their perspective on history as Japanese Americans.
The 442nd is the most highly decorated team in the history of the U.S. military. Composed entirely of soldiers of Japanese descent and led by mostly white officers, the infantry regiment was formed in the aftermath of the United States' entry into World War II and was involved in some of the worst fighting in Europe.
Attendees watched a screening of "Witness: American Heroes" by KABC-7's David Ono, which gave a background of the combat team, including information about the rescue of the Lost Battalion in Biffontaine, France.
Two of the veterans present, Glendora resident Jim Yamashita and Mits Kunihiro, had fought in that battle, which resulted in more than 800 casualties from the 442nd.
Veteran Tok Yoshihashi just missed the battle when he was assigned to the 100th Battalion, joining the team in France in 1944.
"We went to southern France and guarded the border between Italy and France, until we were ready to go back into combat," Yoshihashi said. "Once we (the 442nd) were built up, they put us on Navy ships back to Italy."
Yamashita, who was born in Santa Ana, moved to southern Nevada when the U.S. passed laws preventing Japanese from owning land and sharecropping, he said. He was there when the war broke out and, though his family did not get placed in a relocation camp, he remembers the indignities they suffered.
"My classmates were joining the Navy and Army and my friends said, 'Hey Jim, why don't you join in?' " he said. "I was classified 4C, which is enemy alien. Even though I was born in Santa Ana, I was classified enemy alien so I could not serve."
Military Intelligence Service veteran Tosh Asano, who was born in Monrovia, was a star athlete at Citrus Junior College in Glendora when the war broke out.
"In 1941 I was the top football halfback in the nation," Asano said. "Imagine me, 5-foot-5 going up against these big football players and I was better than all of them."
Daughters Linda Kunihiro and Tina Asano recalled growing up as third-generation Japanese- Americans with fathers who served in the 442nd.
"We didn't know anything about it," Kunihiro said. "They didn't talk about their service at all" until recently, when the government began to make reparations toward the Japanese Americans who had been detained in the relocation camps.
Meeting Date 10/15/2012 / Packet Page -18- Item #2. Page 15
"That started opening it up a little," she said.
On Oct. 13, Dr. Brian Lamkin from APU will lead a panel discussion about the issues of citizenship and democracy, specifically regarding the Japanese internment camps during World War II. Jim Nakano, owner of Glendora's Donut Man, will provide a first-person account of what it was like to be interned at 2 p.m.
On Oct. 24, a book discussion on "Farewell to Manzanar" will be held at 5:30 p.m. at the library as well. The Glendora Public Library is at 140 S. Glendora Ave. For more information, call 626- 852-4891.
Former Glendora resident Grant Brown was drafted into the Army of the United States in World War II, he said. Sent to Camp Shelby, Miss., where the 442nd was stationed, he remembered playing baseball against the Japanese-American soldiers and driving trucks carrying the soldiers into battle. They had courage that was unparalleled, he said, and were unfailingly kind.
But the toll of war claimed too many, he said.

Ray Bradbury's 'The Book And The Butterfly'
Posted: 10/02/2012 9:18 am EDT Updated: 10/02/2012 3:59 pm EDT; Huffington Post
Excerpted from The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2012 . Introduction © 2012 by Ray Bradbury, Reproduced by permission of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. All rights reserved.
When I was seven years old, I started going to the library and I took out ten books a week. The librarian looked at me and asked, “What are you doing?”
I said, “What do you mean?”
And she said, “You can’t possibly read all of those before they are due back.”
I said, “Yes, I can.”
And I came back the next week for ten more books.
In doing so, I told that librarian, politely, to get out of my way and let me happen. That’s what books do. They are the building blocks, the DNA, if you will, of you.
Think of everything you have ever read, everything you have ever learned from holding a book in your hands and how that knowledge shaped you and made you who you are today.
Looking back now on all those years, to when I first discovered books at the library, I see that I was simply falling in love. Day, after day, after glorious day, I was falling in love with books.
The library in Waukegan, Illinois, the town where I grew up, was a temple to the imagination. It was built by Andrew Carnegie, the philanthropist, who built libraries all across this great land. I
Meeting Date 10/15/2012 / Packet Page -21- Item #2. Page 18
learned to read by studying the comic strips in the Chicago Tribune . But I fell in love with reading at that old Carnegie library. It was this library that served as the inspiration for the library in my 1962 novel, "Something Wicked This Way Comes."
I will never forget the many magnificent autumn nights, running home with books in my hands and the October winds driving me home towards discovery. I found books on Egypt and dinosaurs, books about pirates, and books that took me to the stars.
I clearly remember checking out books on physiology, books that described what human beings were like, what their bodies were like, what the veins were like, what the feet were like, what the head was like, what the heart was like. So I learned about the physiology of humans from books when I was just a child. And I was curious about all the animals of the world, too. I couldn’t believe that God had created so many species. Of course, in many ways, one of the most miraculous creatures of all is the butterfly. They fascinated me as a child. When I read about butterflies, I realized that they are a metaphor for the totality of the universe. How is any of this possible? How did any of this happen? From the formation of a galaxy to the wings of a monarch! No one truly knows the answers. It is all such a great mystery.
Think about the butterfly for a moment. A caterpillar crawls along, eating leaves, fastens itself to a tree, and then an impossible miracle occurs: all of a sudden it goes into a protective stage, and, after a time, that caterpillar emerges from its chrysalis, sprouts magnificent wings, and turns into a butterfly. Where is the impulse that tells the butterfly to do any of that? Where was the impulse that caused the stars to form?
The books I brought home from the library caused me to think about the origins of life and the universe. How did it start? Where does it end? I recall Midwestern summer nights, standing on my grandparents’ hushed lawn, and looking up at the sky at the confetti field of stars. There were millions of suns out there, and millions of planets rotating around those suns. And I knew there was life out there, in the great vastness. We are just too far apart, separated by too great a distance to reach each one another.
I pondered all of these things because of books. I asked big questions because of books. I dreamed because of books. I started to write because of books. I read everything from comic strips, to history books, to the fantastic tales of L. Frank Baum, Edgar Allen Poe, H.G. Wells, and many others. None of this reading was required, mind you. I just did it. It was all impulsive. "The Best American Nonrequired Reading" reflects much of what I loved about reading when I first discovered its magical allure. Here you find cartoons next to great nonfiction magazine stories next to imaginative short fiction next to lists of curious arcana. Each page is a new discovery, a decorated Easter egg in the garden.
I am told the editorial process for this series is rooted in the involvement of high school students, selecting the stories and assembling each year’s edition. I published my own fan magazine, Futuria Fantasia, as a teenager in the late 1930s. I would have loved to work on this series. I imagine each young person who has poured his or her heart into this edition has been changed as a result.

The caterpillar sprouts wings.
And I know that, as with reading any book, you, dear reader, will change too.
Now go off and fly.

Outreach has been the name of the game for the past month. We have visited most of the local schools to discuss the Statewide Read, taken part in the Glendora Council PTA meeting, hosted a tour of Achievement Day girls, and participated in Grace Lutheran Preschool’s Community Helpers week with a storytime. Cindy had a rare and fun opportunity to take part in Glendora Day at the Fair. She welcomed Glendora’s kids to the America’s Kids building, where there were 2 stages for interactive plays, including one based on the popular Magic Tree House series by Mary Pope Osborne, literary games, displays based on popular children’s books and student art work. What a wonderful way to interact with the kids outside of the library and schools. We are hoping to continue this visit annually.
Stay and Play is off to a wonderful beginning this year. Over 200 children stopped by to play during the month of September. Teen volunteers are in place to open the Friends Room every afternoon. Page 1 of 4 September 2012 Department Monthly Report
Meeting Date 10/15/2012 / Packet Page -25- Item #2. Page 22
Beginning on October 8 th , special activities will be available daily in the Friends Room. These activities include the popular Lego Club on Mondays, Teens Read with Kids on Tuesdays, Puzzles and Games on Wednesdays; Thursdays offer an opportunity to Be Creative with Crafts and Big Game Tournaments will be held on Fridays.
The 5 th Annual Battle of the Books is upon us. The event is scheduled to take place on Thursday, October 11 th at 6:00 p.m. in Bidwell Forum. 19 teams of students between 6 th and 12 th grade are signed up and preparing for Battle. Each team consists of 3 members. The teams all received a set of the books. This year’s titles are: Midnight Magic by Avi, Peter Pan in Scarlet for Geraldine McCaughrean, and Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer by John Grisham. Cindy will have a brief presentation report available at the Board of Library Trustees meeting October 15 th .
The Statewide Read program is off and running. We enjoyed a wonderful kick-off event at the September 24 th Glendora Historical Society Meeting. The program featured a documentary by ABC’s David Ono giving a brief history of the Nisei soldiers during WWII. The Japanese-American soldiers were assigned to either the 442 nd Army Regiment or Military Intelligence Service. Following the film, 4 Japanese American Veterans shared their experiences with the audience. The program was presented in partnership with the Glendora Historical Society and Azusa Pacific University. The series of programs continued with a screening of the made for TV movie Farewell to Manzanar . 35 people came to enjoy the film, including 2 fifth grade students who began reading the book with their class. On October 5 th , Azusa Pacific University’s Teacher Education Department presented a Teacher In-Service program highlighting techniques to teach the book Farewell to Manzanar and the Internment of Japanese Americans to students. The bus trip to the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles had 46 participants registered. The trip was provided through a partnership with the City of Glendora Community Services Department. Still to come…book discussion groups on Farewell to Manzanar and Lost City Radio , a tribute to Woody Guthrie and a panel discussion with Dr. Bryan Lamkin of APU and Glendora’s own Jim Nakano focused on citizenship, democracy and civil rights as it relates to the internment of Japanese Americans.
Cindy has been working with all of the local schools arranging class visits and readings of Farewell to Manzanar . All of the local schools have received a class set of books as part of the grant. We are looking forward to class discussions with students of all levels, as well as book discussion groups at some of the schools. We will also be providing 4 youth book discussion groups here at the library for those students who do not have the opportunity to participate as part of their school, or those students who would like an opportunity to come and further explore the book and time period. We will provide a full report once of the events have concluded.

Thanks again to Cindy for her summary of the community-wide Farewell to Manzanar (and related) programming. The Historical Society/APU evening was memorable for all of us involved, and the interest of the audience at the film just a few days later was gratifying. As Gaetano reported about the film crowd, “Most had read the book, and there seemed to be a general agreement that the movie did an excellent job of portraying the events and stories ...” Now that we are here in October, essentially ten months have gone by since Gaetano first approached Dr. Lamkin about the citizenship and democracy program, and it’s exciting to see those plans come to fruition. In support of this great library-wide effort, a banner – thematically matching much of the printed Manzanar publicity – has been placed on the Library’s home page, linking to complete listings of Glendora’s Statewide Read events.
We are, of course, also looking past this current arc of programs, and plans proceed apace for the volunteer-coordinated continuation of the Opera Talks and JPL lectures. Our community-member partners have been wonderfully responsive as we iron out the details in this new division of labor.
Janet attended the City’s Town Hall presentation on dealing with change and being flexible. Among the interesting ideas were the impacts of ignoring signals when change is coming, the “myths of organizational change,” and the possibility of underreaction as well as overreaction in the face of change.
Behind the scenes, we are still adjusting to the loss of two full-time Public Services positions. Tasks continue to be evaluated, prioritized, and reassigned. Staff feedback is invaluable as we make new discoveries: What are the impacts of not having backup for a lone front-line staffer? Of being so busy on the front lines that other tasks and processes pile up? In this case, dealing with change is a constant, since we’re continuously learning how best to serve the public.
Daisy Fregoso, Caroline, Gaetano, and Janet have had the pleasure of being elbow deep in the eddying waters of author standing-orders (the programs under which the Library receives predetermined numbers of new copies from tried-and-true authors). As we try to balance and complement the regular-type and large-type fiction orders, we have compared lists, shared knowledge, offered anecdotal evidence, and delved into average circulation and other statistics. In the end, we hope to offer more top-of-the-line choices to our large-print readers, supplement the regular-type bestsellers, and save a few dollars to boot. This is collection development at its most satisfying!

Glendora Public Library Board of Trustees Agenda Item Report
To: Board of Library Trustees From: Robin Weed-Brown, Library Director Date: October 15, 2012 Re: Agenda Item # 3: 5 Year Plan of Service Goal
Recommendation:
Receive and file.
Background:
Library Administration has the following goal for this fiscal year:
Work with Library Board of Trustees and staff to revise the Library Plan of Service to reflect the role of our municipal library in the coming five to ten years. The analysis will consider on-going economic challenges, technology changes, best-practices, and the needs and expectations of our Glendora community. Input will be solicited via staff outreach to community groups and stakeholders and other sources that can help provide insight to this evolving service. Evaluate and incorporate feedback as appropriate. Submit final Plan of Service to Library Board of Trustees and City Manager no later than June 2013.
As I mentioned in my Director’s Report last month, the Library’s management team has been building on the plan of service foundation started back in 2010. This month we watched a very interesting webinar lecture given to library students in New Zealand titled “What We Do and Why We Do it…But Mostly Why We Do It.” Part of the discussion revolved around the question “what is the future of libraries” and evolved into the question “what should be the future of libraries and librarians in a democracy?” It talked of new skills needed and moving away from a collection centric view (distribute content to create knowledge) towards facilitating knowledge creation in our communities; moving from the ‘Information Age’ to the ‘Knowledge Society.’
The speaker was R. David Lankes, Professor and Dean’s Scholar for the New Librarianship, Syracuse University’s iSchool and known to many as “Virtual Dave.” Alumni from this University have created very innovative programs in libraries. “Virtual Dave” does have a physical footprint as well. He has written two recent books, The Atlas of New Librarianship (2011) for library school students; and, Expect

More: Demanding Better Libraries for Today’s Complex World (2012). This second book is not directed at librarians, but at communities, library boards, volunteers and others that support or have oversight of a library of any type. It is not a long read, but it is a worthwhile read. I have purchased copies for the Library Board. It should help stimulate dialogue and ideas!
The City Manager has sent out an RFP (Request for Proposal) for a facilitator for our community dialogue regarding this 5 year goal. The deadline for submissions is October 28, 2012. A copy of the RFP is attached for your information.
