Director's Report
Director’s Report Agenda Item No. 3 May 2019 Welcoming author Alex Gino In early April, the library hosted Alex Gino, award-winning author of progressive middle-grade fiction, for three events at North Portland, Central, and Rockwood libraries. At Central Library, Alex was joined by local author April Daniels for a conversation about writing LGBTQ+ books for young people. At the North Portland Library event, a Hollywood Library teen council member interviewed Alex and reflected on the experience: “Getting to interview Alex was a super cool experience!” said one participant. “They were lovely and super cool and it was incredible to be in a room with so many people who were excited about their books, especially the younger kids who were exposed to books with trans characters before they were in middle school. It was also really meaningful to meet a nonbinary author and to hear their experiences and getting to see my own experiences as a nonbinary person reflected in the things that Alex talked about, including their experiences being misgendered and just general struggles around the gender binary.” Library Director’s Report to Library Advisory Board 1 of 5 Director’s Report Agenda Item No. 3 May 2019 A large and enthusiastic crowd attended Alex’s event at Rockwood Library, including a father who said during the Q&A that he was concerned about how hard life would be for his child who’d recently come out. Alex responded that his child already knows how hard it will be, and what the child needs to hear is that their parent loves and supports them.

District Background
DRAFT SOUTHEAST LIAISON DISTRICT PROFILE DRAFT Introduction In 2004 the Bureau of Planning launched the District Liaison Program which assigns a City Planner to each of Portland’s designated liaison districts. Each planner acts as the Bureau’s primary contact between community residents, nonprofit groups and other government agencies on planning and development matters within their assigned district. As part of this program, District Profiles were compiled to provide a survey of the existing conditions, issues and neighborhood/community plans within each of the liaison districts. The Profiles will form a base of information for communities to make informed decisions about future development. This report is also intended to serve as a tool for planners and decision-makers to monitor the implementation of existing plans and facilitate future planning. The Profiles will also contribute to the ongoing dialogue and exchange of information between the Bureau of Planning, the community, and other City Bureaus regarding district planning issues and priorities. PLEASE NOTE: The content of this document remains a work-in-progress of the Bureau of Planning’s District Liaison Program. Feedback is appreciated. Area Description Boundaries The Southeast District lies just east of downtown covering roughly 17,600 acres. The District is bordered by the Willamette River to the west, the Banfield Freeway (I-84) to the north, SE 82nd and I- 205 to the east, and Clackamas County to the south. Bureau of Planning - 08/03/05 Southeast District Page 1 Profile Demographic Data Population Southeast Portland experienced modest population growth (3.1%) compared to the City as a whole (8.7%).

Multnomah County Library Collection Shrinkage—A Baseline Report
Y T N U MULTNOMAH COUNTY LIBRARY COLLECTION SHRINKAGE—A O BASELINE REPORT H NOVEMBER 2006 A REPORT FOR THE ULTNOMAH OUNTY IBRARY M A M C L O REPORT #009-06 N T L REPORT PREPARED BY: ATT ICE RINCIPAL NALYST U M N , P A BUDGET OFFICE EVALUATION MULTNOMAH COUNTY, OREGON 503-988-3364 http://www.co.multnomah.or.us/dbcs/budget/performance/ MULTNOMAH COUNTY LIBRARY COLLECTION SHRINKAGE—A BASELINE REPORT Executive Summary In July 2005, the library administration contacted staff from the Multnomah County Budget Office Evaluation, a unit external to the Library’s internal management system, to request independent assistance estimating the amount of missing materials at the library, known in the private sector as ‘shrinkage’. 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.

Property Tax Measure Review Ballot Measure 26-211 Multnomah County Library GO Bonds September 10, 2020
Property Tax Measure Review District Multnomah County 26-211 Bonds to Expand, Renovate, Construct Library Branches, Ballot Measure Facilities; Increase Safety (attached to this review) $387 million GO Bonds and an estimated tax rate of $0.61 per Financial Details $1k AV with a 9-year term Election November 3, 2020 Hearing Date and Time September 22 @ 10:00 Commissioner Discussion September 15 @ 2:00 Date Review Prepared September 10, 2020 Background This Bond Measure’s formal origins date back to July, 2016. That was when the County Commissioners established a Citizen Action Committee to study the ability of the County’s 18 libraries to serve the community. A year later, in its “Library Framework” report, the Committee stated the primary issue succinctly: “The issue for Multnomah County Library is that it simply lacks space.”1 The Committee stated that the library facilities service level amounted to 0.3 square feet per capita system wide, and only 0.19 square feet per capita in East County as shown in the graphic below. The Committee recommended enlarging total library space to 0.7 to 0.8 square feet per capita and specifically adding more library space in East County. From that work comes the core of this ballot measure. 1 Library Space Planning Framework, June 16, 2017 https://multcolib.org/sites/default/files/Multnomah_County_Library_space_planning_framework_FINAL.pdf Property Tax Measure Review Ballot Measure 26-211 Multnomah County Library GO Bonds September 10, 2020 Purpose This bond measure seeks taxpayer approval to issue up to $387 million in General Obligation Bonds, the debt service for which will be paid for with a property tax levy that the County estimates will be $0.61 per $1,000 of Assessed Value with a term of not more than 9 years.

Director's Report
Director’s Report Agenda Item No. 2 January 2020 As we close one year and begin both a new year and a new decade, I wanted to express my thanks to our dedicated library staff, our supportive partners, and of course, our community, whose use and love of the library is central to everything we do. The library had many notable moments over the past year. From celebrating the first graduates of the library’s adult GED tutoring program, to advocating for equitable e-book access, to partnering with Ooligan Press to publish print copies of a Library Writer’s Project title, and modernizing our integrated library system, the library made great progress in honoring its new priorities. The library will carry that momentum into 2020. As noted below, the library is kicking off its 18th annual community reading project, Everybody Reads with Tommy Orange’s powerful debut novel, There There. In addition to offering a series of events presented by members of the local Native community, I’m thrilled that this year both Multnomah County and the City of Portland will issue proclamations recognizing Everybody Reads and honoring Native voices. Following the direction of the Library District Board in 2017, I’ve been continuing to work with library partners, community representatives, and industry experts to research and plan the future of our library spaces. This phase of work is nearing completion, and we will soon present our research and thoughtful proposals to the Library District Board for consideration. I am proud of the evolving work of this library, and I look forward to all the ways we will progress over the next year to bring all members of our community a library system they can enjoy today and into the future.
