Links to the artists’ websites are provided on the Crowell Public Library website.

Mayor Ude shared 3D renderings of the new San Marino Center and emphasized the cohesive feel that will come from having two similarly-designed buildings. Mayor Ude also stated that while the entire project is approximately $5.5 million, $3 million are slated for mandatory ADA improvements and the real cost is the additional $2.5 million to further enhance the revitalization. Construction plans are expected in August 2021 and construction is anticipated to last two years following the approval of the plans.

ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS
1. DIRECTOR AND CITY LIBRARIAN UPDATE REPORT
City Librarian McDermott presented the staff report.
Vice Chairperson Mollno asked about the Library’s plans for publicity since the part-time staff member who handled those assignments had retired. Trustee Domier commended the efforts of the Friends of the Library online book shop but noted the book selections are subpar and would like better offerings. Chairperson Hollingsworth recognized the marketing efforts done in conjunction with curbside pickup and asked how the Library will publicize the reinstatement of due dates. City Librarian McDermott advised that the Library will begin informing the public on upcoming due dates.
Vice Chairperson Mollno questioned the publicity efforts from the Community Services Department and the City Manager’s Office since it appears they have different distribution lists. In addition, Vice Chairperson Mollno would like a cohesive marketing strategy that promotes community services through the City Manager’s Weekly Update. Community Engagement Manager Fowler stated the Weekly Update holds spaces that could promote key services on an as-needed basis, but will also review the structure of the Update with Director Haworth.
2. MANAGEMENT ANALYST’S REPORT
Analyst Zubiate presented the staff report.
Chairperson Hollingsworth asked if the Excel workbook for the Library’s statistical data could be shared with the Board in the future. Analyst Zubiate will share the workbook moving forward.
Chairperson Hollingsworth inquired if the recent departures of part-time staff would significantly reduce the year-end expenses for the Library. Analyst Zubiate stated the savings would not be significant since they were part-time staff and not full-time. Chairperson Hollingsworth also inquired if that meant there was more funding for COVID-related expenses. Analyst Zubiate stated all COVID-related charges are allocated to a City-wide account and this does not impact the Library, which does not hinder the Library’s ability to purchase books with its budgeted funds.
NEW BUSINESS
1. BOARD OF TRUSTEES MEETING CALENDAR FOR 2021
Analyst Zubiate presented the staff report.
Chairperson Hollingsworth moved to change the meeting times for ongoing regular meetings of the Library Board of Trustees from 7:30 AM to 8:00 AM on the fourth
8 LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES – MINUTES PAGE 4 OF 5 SPECIAL MEETING: JANUARY 25, 2021
Monday of every month. She requested that staff prepare a resolution in statement of the Board’s motion and to present this resolution to the City Council along with a revised calendar with the requested meeting times; seconded by Trustee Domier. During discussion, Vice Chairperson Mollno stated the earlier meeting time was an attempt to recruit from a broader pool of the population, such as parents with young children or individuals who are not retired. Vice Chairperson Mollno asked for the Board to consider all options, including possibly evening meeting times. The motion passed with the following votes: AYES: Chairperson Hollingsworth, Trustee Derry, Trustee Domier, and Trustee Swanson. NOES: None. ABSTAIN: Vice Chairperson Mollno.
2. CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARY REPORT
City Librarian McDermott presented the staff report.
Chairperson Hollingsworth moved to ratify the fiscal year 2019-2020 Annual Public Library Survey that the City Librarian filed with the State Library and to recommend it for ratification by the City Council; seconded by Trustee Swanson. AYES: Chairperson Hollingsworth, Vice Chairperson Mollno, Trustee Derry, Trustee Domier, Trustee Swanson. NOES: None.
3. DISCUSSION OF FY 21-22 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN PROJECTS FOR CROWELL PUBLIC LIBRARY
Analyst Zubiate presented the staff report. Director Haworth elaborated by stating the facility assessment of the Crowell Public Library would be completed in approximately two months.
Chairperson Hollingsworth commended the facility assessment as that may result in the creation of a maintenance schedule. In regards to the computer room renovation, Analyst Zubiate confirmed that funding for that project can be requested in FY 21-22 since it may be done in FY 20-21 due to COVID evaluations. Lastly, Chairperson Hollingsworth inquired on the previous request to procure new management software. Analyst Zubiate stated that the project was modified and a request to procure software will be taken to the City Council.
Vice Chairperson Mollno emphasized the desire to accelerate the schedule for the security camera upgrade and improvements to the Barth Community Room. Chairperson Hollingsworth concurred since the San Marino Center renovation will reduce the number of available facilities and the Barth Room will be used much more.
4. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ADULT SERVICES PROGRAMMING
Librarian Russell presented the staff report.
Trustee Swanson asked if it was possible for the Library to serve as a COVID-19 vaccination center. City Librarian McDermott and Manager Fowler both stated no as that
9 LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES – MINUTES PAGE 5 OF 5 SPECIAL MEETING: JANUARY 25, 2021
would create a massive operational burden on the City. However, the City’s Fire Chief is involved in discussions with the County about the vaccine rollout.
Chairperson Hollingsworth stated that the Board supports the spending of DVD funding towards adult programming.
5. CHILDREN’S SERVICES DIVISION UPDATE
Librarian Torres presented the staff report.
Chairperson Hollingsworth emphasized the value and importance of the Summer Reading Club program. Librarian Torres responded by saying there are plans under development to ensure the program can be done virtually, as was done in 2020, or in person (if allowed).
Chairperson Hollingsworth also emphasized that Children’s Services should utilize the Restricted Donations reserves to ensure it can continue offering robust programs.
6. CALENDAR YEAR 2021 QUARTER 1 WORK PROGRAM
Director Haworth presented the staff report.
Chairperson Hollingsworth asked when updates on the work program would be provided to the Board; Director Haworth stated updates can be provided as tasks are completed. Chairperson Hollingsworth also requested a presentation on the numbers of acquisitions for adult and children’s books at the February meeting, in addition to an update on the StoryWalk program.

DATE: February 22, 2021
SUBJECT: DIRECTOR AND CITY LIBRARIAN’S REPORT
BACKGROUND
Originally known as the City Librarian’s Report, this monthly update was completely revamped in November 2020 to include information from the Community Services Director. Among the information contained herein:
Notable statistics Operational updates Staff observations and notes
DISCUSSION
Attachment 1 provides the update for February 2021. It follows a bulleted format that categorizes narratives to allow a comprehensive view of the Library’s operations and other trends worth noting.
RECOMMENDATION
The Board is requested to file and receive this report.

DIRECTOR AND CITY LIBRARIAN’S REPORT February 22, 2021
CIPs/Maintenance
A facility needs assessment for the library building was recently conducted by consultant Bureau Veritas. A findings report will be available in the next few months, which will provide the Board and City Council with information that helps prioritize short- and long-term facility investments.
Librarian Plumley is coordinating efforts with the Parks and Public Works Department to obtain three bids for the Library Window Tinting Project. The bidding process should be completed by early March; tinting activities are scheduled for April.
The Parks and Public Works Department will soon initiate the Barth Room AV Project. Staff will be meeting with a consultant this week (as of this report’s writing) to identify critical needs that allow the project to move forward and at a cost that does not exceed its budgeted allocation ($19,500). More information will be provided at the next Board meeting.
General building maintenance is ongoing. An electrician is scheduled to repair a complex and malfunctioning light timer; an internal work order is pending to replace some exterior light bulbs. Librarian Plumley is exploring the possibility of illuminating the Library’s U.S. flag and flagpole at night (hopefully with a tie-in to a nearby existing light pole). Heating issues were reported last week in the Library’s west end. An HVAC contractor remedied the situation by computer-adjusting the thermostat.
Operations
Our newly formatted statistical report (produced by Management Analyst Zubiate) incorporates some recent tweaks: the placement of revenue figures at the top of the financial component and enrollment numbers for prior month programming.
Preparation of the Board’s summary meeting minutes is now the responsibility of City Librarian McDermott, who also serves as the Board’s secretary. This reassignment of duties aligns with best practices; it also frees up Management Analyst Zubiate’s time to complete special projects including the Library’s upcoming fiscal year budget.
In last month’s report, it was announced that three critical part-time positions (two part-time librarians and one library assistant) are vacant. These positions will evaluated by the City Manager and City Council as part of the City’s annual budgetary process.
The preparation of a facility reopening plan is on-hold as the California State Library continues to lobby the state health department to remove guidelines that apply to retail businesses. This determination is expected by June, which would then provide the County of Los Angeles with enough basis to develop revised protocols for in-person library operations. We expect most area libraries to reopen in late summer, concurrent with the start of the new school year.

12 ATTACHMENT 1
A material due date has been reinstated to February 28 to boost circulation figures. Fines will be imposed beginning April 1; a fine-free grace period will be in effect through March.
Staff has begun to identify suitable titles for our online electronic book collection. These materials—which would also be part of our permanent collection—will be purchased in the next few months using a $2,000 donation provided last year by the Library Foundation. Hosted on our Overdrive Advantage account, these electronic books will be available only to Crowell Public Library cardholders.
E-book circulation shot up 30% over last January. We hope that additional materials purchased with the Library Foundation gift will boost that number. Total physical circulation has remained steady over the last few months with over 2,600 pieces circulated in January. A recent networking call with library directors across the state confirmed that curbside pickup—while a necessary accommodation to the pandemic—has depressed physical item circulation compared to last year.
LibLime Koha, the software we use to track our collection and patrons, has a new product called Bibliovation Library Services Platform (LSP). It works as a skin over the LibLime Koha application to provide an improved user interface; furthermore, it can send customized receipts with graphical elements to assist with the Library’s marketing. LibLime is offering Bibliovation at no charge. As it will require some staff training to use it, we plan to explore this upgrade in the second quarter. Our goal is to launch the new software this summer.
Partnerships
The Friends of the Library have not met since November. They will reconvene when necessary. (On a side note, their online bookstore generated $97 in sales for January.)
The San Marino Public Library Foundation virtually met on February 8. Among the reported items:
- Over 90 entries were received for the annual bookmark contest. Winning artwork designs will soon be displayed at the corner of Huntington and West as standing or pole banners.
- The Foundation has roughly $44,000 in the bank. It received $5,400 last month and $1,700 this month.
- A trivia contest hosted by comedian Ryan Budds is under consideration as a possible fundraiser. This event may be in lieu of this year’s in-person gala. A mixology program was also recommended as a potential fundraiser, as was a suggestion that pairs food with literature.
- A fall date for Delicious Destinations will be set soon (even though it may not happen).

13 ATTACHMENT 1
- The Foundation continues to pivot its focus on a planned giving program (endowment fund) that sets a strategic, long-term funding strategy for library improvements.
Programming
A listing of the Library’s February offerings is provided as Attachment 2. This information was e-blasted to over 4,800 participants of the City’s community services programming. The Community Services Department will begin to augment its program marketing in March to a printed, bi-monthly publication.
Attachment 3 provides narratives of the Library’s March offerings. Programs worth noting include an interactive Super Storytime experience for children, a Prohibition-themed mixology course for adults, a lecture on the coronavirus and available vaccines, and many opportunities for take-and makes. The Library’s monthly trivia night continues—this time on Star Wars—while our book club is on hiatus due to limited participation.
The pandemic has created a silver lining for adult programming, which has allowed staff to go outside the Los Angeles area in search of virtual presenters. This move has result in new relevant offerings including the upcoming Betty Crocker lecture; next month’s mixology course; and future planned programming, e.g. “Who is Typhoid Mary?” and an attorney-led discussion on those wrongly convicted.
The library building remains indefinitely closed to the public; however, staff will explore opportunities to reintroduce limited in-person, outdoor programming in late spring. This operational pivot may include lectures, children’s programs, and an outdoor library event— all of which will be modified pursuant to best practices and public health guidelines. The programming shift will help reinforce the message that the Library is open.
Quarterly Work Plan: Key Project Updates
Senior Tablets: Tablet quantities and a lending model is confirmed: 10 Apple iPad Airs will be purchased, and Glendale Public Library’s lending policy will serve as a template for program parameters. As federal funds are being used for this initiative, we are awaiting final approvals. The City’s IT consultant is working to receive a quote for device management software, which will ensure patron privacy and minimize the City’s risk related to usage (i.e. the types of apps that can be downloaded and sites that can be accessed). The program is expected to roll out in late March. (Project Managers: Russell, Zubiate)
E-Library Cards: We’re continuing to explore the possibility of integrating the e-library card application process into the Library’s LibLime Koha account. This approach will allow for a seamless user experience. If this option is not feasible, we will look at the integration as part of the upcoming Bibliovation Library Services Platform upgrade. (Regardless, an initial e-library card application will be available to the public next month.) Staff is also revising the Library’s print (paper) application to include a checkbox that allows cardholders to receive e-mailed news and updates. (Project Managers: McDermott, Plumley)

14 ATTACHMENT 1
Software Deployments: An employee-focused project management application has been launched via Monday.com to schedule out milestones and retain employee accountability. A vendor for community services management software (to streamline program registrations and facility rentals) was recently selected; a contract is being finalized between the vendor and City Attorney. The City Council is scheduled to consider contract approval within the next few weeks. (Project Managers: Haworth, Zubiate)
E-Gaming/E-Sports Pilot Program: This is a joint project with the recreation division. An outdoor Mario Kart or Super Smash Brothers tournament will kick-off the program in July as part of a pop-up event series that celebrates the Fourth of July. The offering will allow us to determine community interest as hosting e-sports can be costly; research has also concluded mixed success by cities based on discussions with their staff. If we move forward with consistent programming, the City will likely use the services of Mission Control. (Project Managers: Covarrubias, Torres)
Marketing: Large-scale posters announcing librarian picks and available popular titles will be on display at the Library and Lacy Park in mid-March. A QR code will be embedded into the artwork, allowing users to download an e-book or reserve a physical copy on their smartphone. The posters will change bi-monthly with new book offerings and recommendations. Additionally, circulation staff is finalizing messaging to include on auto- generated emails (ex: upcoming due dates), along with standard URL links that provide recipients with one-click access to the Library’s event calendar and e-subscription service (for library news and updates). (Project Managers: Plumley, McDermott)
Storywalk: This project has been temporarily stalled due to a critical staff vacancy in the Parks and Public Works Department. The position should be filled soon, subsequently assisting Library staff in finalizing post quantities and locations. The project has a go-live date by early summer. Stories for the first six months have been selected; the content will change out bi- monthly. (Project Managers: Torres, Haworth)
Staff Notes
Collection in our fiction stacks are dwindling because of due date forgiveness; also, the “hot list” titles we have remain checked out. The pandemic has generally pushed publishing down over the last year (similar to the delay of new movie releases), resulting in a limited offering of interesting new titles. (R. Russell)
With tax season upon us, there have been a lot of requests for preparation forms. Over the past few weeks, the Library has provided over 100 patrons with the most general templates— 540 EZ, 1040, etc.—during curbside pickup hours. (R. Russell)
Libraries across the nation continue to focus on procuring literature that celebrates diversity and addresses recent movements like #BlackLivesMatter and #OwnVoices. The Library’s children’s services division remains committed to curate books about persons of color and LGBTQ+ topics, as well as literature about Chinese subjects or by Chinese authors. (T. Torres)

The American Library Association recently announced the top books, digital media, and video and audiobooks for children and adults—including the Caldecott, Coretta Scott King, Newbery, and Printz awards—at its Midwinter Meeting and Exhibit. A listing of the 2021 award winners is provided as Attachment 4; staff is currently working to purchase these new titles, many of which feature diversity and persons of color. (T. Torres)
A monthly call with librarians across the state (via the California State Library) recently covered the following topics:
- A lack of state or regional direction on library reopenings. With new scientific findings and vaccine rollouts underway, current protocols reflect the early stages of the pandemic vs. current realities.
- Plans are underway for a free, virtual conference targeting library support staff. Topics are under development, and event specifics will be released soon. At minimum, our librarian assistants will be required to attend.
- Summer reading clubs are around the corner. Many libraries are talking about hosting the club at their local parks. This is a fantastic recommendation that we’ll consider in conjunction with the recreation division. (I. McDermott)
Librarians from the cities of San Marino, South Pasadena, Arcadia, and Alhambra will soon meet monthly to discuss and share ideas about library operations during the pandemic— including shared or adapted protocols for facility reopenings. The first meeting will be in March; updates will be provided via this monthly report. (I. McDermott)

FROM: Brian Haworth, Community Services Director
BY: Robert Zubiate, Management Analyst
DATE: February 22, 2021
SUBJECT: MANAGEMENT ANALYST’S UPDATE REPORT
BACKGROUND
At the Board of Trustees' request, the Management Analyst provides a monthly update of the Library's financial condition. This report contains a macro view of the Library's fiscal health; it also includes information on projects funded through the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and other major assignments overseen by the Management Analyst.
DISCUSSION
FY 20-21 Budget Update: January 2021 Summary
No significant developments occurred during January 2021 due to the Library’s conservative spending.
Current projections show that funding for the following line items will be exhausted by the end of the fiscal year: Contract Services (line 29), Children’s Books (line 32), Electronic Resources (line 33), Memberships & Dues (line 38), and Electricity (line 44). These items are largely based on agreements and spending in those areas should occur—or the Library loses some of the resources needed to deliver its services. Regarding electricity, several other City staff members are now utilizing sections of the Library, thus mitigating cost savings compared to other utilities.
Adult Services remain largely well-funded, and services are primarily unaffected. Children’s Services remains impacted by a lack of anticipated donations. However, staff recently generated a spending plan that will utilize available contributions, including the $1,000 gift from Trustee Lois Derry. Despite limited funding, the Library continues to provide a robust selection of programs and services at a time when circulation figures are down.
Lastly, staff reevaluated the year-end projections in light of the Library parting ways with additional part-time employees. We previously reported that the Library was expected to close
38 the year by having spent 83.3% of its General Fund monies. That figure was revised; it is now expected that the Library will close the year at 80.8% of its General Fund monies.
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Projects
The CIP projects list for FY 21-22 was submitted to the Parks and Public Works Department to develop the City’s Capital Improvement Plan. The CIP presentations will be conducted with the City Council next month. As a reminder to the Board, the CIP projects that were requested are as follows:
- Thornton Conference Room Display - Security Camera Upgrade
Upgrades to the Barth Community Room lighting will be incorporated into the San Marino Center renovation project. Discussions are being held to determine the expediency for these upgrades. In addition, staff are determining if painting the interior of the Library can also be lumped into the Center renovation project.
For FY 20-21, the pending CIP projects are the Barth Community Room Audio/Visual upgrades, window tinting, and the computer room renovation. Staff will meet with Parks and Public Works staff on February 17, 2021 to discuss the Barth Room AV project and to identify essential upgrades that can be done with the $19,500 budget. The Barth AV and window tinting projects are expected to be completed by the end of this fiscal year. The computer room renovation project is on hold until staff can reevaluate the room’s potential uses post-COVID.
Other Items
Budget season is around the corner. Staff has begun work on next year’s Library budget; internal meetings will be held next month to delve even further into the budget process.
RECOMMENDATION
The Board is requested to file and receive this report.
