2008 Annual Report When We Expose for the Denver Public Someone to a Writer Library, 2008 Was a Year Like Updike, We of Accomplishments, and Also Challenges

I just introduced a little old lady to a serial womanizer named Rabbit. Oh yeah, she’ll be back for more.

2008 Annual Report When we expose For the Denver Public someone to a writer Library, 2008 was a year like Updike, we of accomplishments, and also challenges. help make Denver a much more _ interesting place. The Democratic National Convention was a highlight of the year, with meetings and events happening at Library locations. Our display of historic artifacts from Denver’s 1908 convention drew hundreds of first-time visitors to Central. 2008 also brought the beginning of the current economic downturn. Customers came to us in unprecedented numbers, seeking assistance in the job market, bringing their children to storytimes and programs, and logging on to computers. Many customers rediscovered the Library while others stepped foot in our doors for the first time ever to check out books, CDs, and DVDs, get resume advice, or attend classes, all without spending a dime. __

Emily Klopstein, Senior Librarian, hadley Branch Library A Message from City Librarian Shirley Amore PAGE 1 --- SECTION A I’m the one who put the martini bar in the children’s section. And I’m going to do __ it next year, too. In tough economic times, our customers need us more than ever. To ensure our relevance and sustainability, staff used the Balanced Scorecard model to create a well-defined, strategic plan that will successfully lead us into the future. We continue to benefit from a strong alliance with the Denver Public Library Friends Foundation and are profoundly grateful for their commitment. I also thank each and every one of you for your continued generosity and support. Together, we make an extraordinary difference to our community. Sincerely,

City Librarian
