1 Open Forum and Presentations
1.1 Coastal Taranaki Health Trust – Scanner Trolley
Mr Corkill referred to the funding the Coastal Taranaki Health Trust (the Trust) received to purchase a scanner trolley. He presented the Community Board with pictures and brought the scanner unit with him to show everyone what was purchased. The scanner was a specialised piece of equipment which could scan pregnant woman, scan for gall stones and any soft tissue type injuries. The unit saved patients having to travel the two-hour return trip to New Plymouth. The Community Board were asked to attend the Trust’s fifth Anniversary.
Mr Whitehead noted that it was a relief for patients to visit the health centre and have a quick scan and know that they were fine without having to travel to New Plymouth.
1.2 Chris Fuller – Caring for our National Environment (the ocean)
A concern was raised regarding the artificial reef in Ōpunakē. Mr Fuller gave some background information regarding when funding was given to proceed with the artificial reef. The concern he had was in relation to the material (geo textile) that was now disintegrating and washing up on the shoreline. He approached the Taranaki Regional Council (TRC) to investigate what was being done next to have the reef cleaned up. Mr Fuller suggested that removing the reef should be put on hold until there was funding in place to remove it properly.
Mayor Phil Nixon thanked Mr Fuller for the update. There was a Trust that held the consent however the Trust was no longer operation. The Council had contributed towards the reef and the responsibility of the consent remained with the Taranaki Regional Council.

Mr Fuller provided solutions on how other regions had resolved issues in relation to artificial reefs. He asked if statistics on the amount of material being washed up onto the beach could be provided, along with an indication of how long it would take for the material to break down.
1.3 Carey Westwood – Mana Springs
Ms Westwood gave the Community Board some background information on Mana Springs. It was a place where ethical leaders gathered to refresh body, mind and spirit. Mana Springs was co-founded by herself and Wanjiru Waithaka and their mission was to connect, inspire and learn. Some of the work they did was to support the woman who voluntarily cared for vulnerable people in Kenya. Both Ms Westwood and Ms Waithaka had worked in national aid and development where they discovered a need to step in and to look after the heroes. There were 365 women in Kenya, representing 250 grass roots organisations, Mana Springs brought woman together for a residential programme. The programme consisted of two nights and three days, to learn from one another, share stories and connect, with the aim to leave more refreshed. Ms Westwood stated it was her second time in Ōpunakē sharing with students what people in a different part of the world were doing for those living in economic poverty. She wanted to thank the community for embracing Mana Springs and welcoming her to speak.
Mr Whitehead asked Ms Westwood if she returned to Ōpunakē it would be great to extend the sharing opportunity out to Hāwera and other South Taranaki communities as the work they were doing was such a worthy cause.
1.4 Lisa Beynon – Children’s Playground for Under 5s
Ms Beynon had been in the community for two years and she wished to raise a family in a small safe town. The family had loved their decision to move from Auckland. She raised concerns with the current playground at the Ōpunakē Beach and believed it was unsafe for children under 5 years. The playground had five entry and exit points that lead out to the road. The play equipment was not suitable for children under 5 because they could not play on it independently. She felt that there have been little thought given to under 5 year olds.
Mr Whitehead sought clarification on whether another playground was being requested in addition to the current beach or hilltop playgrounds or making the current playground more suitable for under 5 year olds. Ms Beynon suggested building additional playgrounds at both areas. The playgrounds did not need to be big they just need to enable under 5s to use the equipment on their own.
Mayor Phil Nixon thanked Ms Beynon for voicing her concerns and he was disappointed she had not heard from the Council. He would follow up and have staff go out and see what the concerns were.
1.5 Rex Langton – Maintenance Projects around the Community
Mr Langton raised concerns on behalf of the Ōpunakē Lions regarding the overflow that ran from Farmlands onto the Ōpunakē Lake. When it rained heavily there was an overflow and he noted that the stormwater ran off and past two houses, straight towards the Lake. Mr Langton noted he previously used to keep the drain open although now it was blocked. It was suggested that a decent culvert be put in by the walkway to mitigate these issues.

1.6 Rex Langton – Powerlines on Fox Street
A concern was raised about the powerlines on Fox Street wrapping around the trees as there was a branch that protruded out and he was worried if there was a storm then it would wipe out the lights.
Mayor Phil Nixon thanked Mr Langton for everything he did in the community and advised that someone from the Council could meet with him to discuss the issue.

RESOLUTION (Ms Mareikura/Cr Langton)

• The Board will not normally provide retrospective funding; and • Successful applicants are requested to provide a written report upon completion of their project.

3.2 Funding Request Report – Waimate Development Levy Round 1 2019-20
The application from the Waimate Plains Property Society meet the criteria however funding was not provided retrospectively. It was noted that the work had not been completed, merely some preparation work that had to be done and that was why at the last meeting Ms Bigham requested further information. The Community Board should be a last resort and they had previously been granted $1,800 under the painting incentive scheme but had not applied to any other body for funding.
The discussion continued to consider the following; there were no representatives in support of the application and the Waimate Plains Property Society Incorporated had not applied for any other funding and they had $150,000 in term investment with no explanation as to what it was allocated to.

5.3 Taranaki Coastal Facilities Usage Report – 2019/20
The facility usage report summarised the total usage of a range of Council owned assets and services, within the South Taranaki District.
Ms Mareikura referred to the usage of the Ōpunakē Town Hall and noted there had been good numbers because of Zumba classes held there. She asked whether there was a way to promote the Hall for hire to the wider community. She noted the Community Board could advise the community about what facilities were available in our area for hire and who to contact.
Mr Whitehead referred to the Ōpunakē swimming pool and asked whether the money going to the swimming pool included wages or if the wages were paid for by the Pool Trust. The Trust had expressed that they were made to look just as expensive to the District, yet they did not receive as much support as some of the other pool complexes.
Councillor Aarun Langton noted that there was a grant that the Council provided to run the pool. All other pools in the District were run by the Council. Mayor Phil Nixon advised that he would investigate whether the running costs for the Hāwera Aquatic Centre included wages.

12 Taranaki Coastal Community Board - Information Reports
5 Information Report
To Taranaki Coastal Community Board From Aquatic Services Team Leader, Candice Kowalewski Date 21 April 2020 Subject Rural Swimming Pools – End of Season Report 2019/20
Executive Summary
1. This report provides the Community Boards with information on the 2019/20 rural swimming pools’ season.
2. This report covers the rural swimming pools at Manaia, Kaponga, Eltham, Rawhitiroa, Pātea and Waverley. It does not include the Hāwera Aquatic Centre nor the paddling pool at Ōpunakē Beach. The Council supports the Ōpunakē Community Baths by way of an annual grant, plus operational and technical advice as requested by the Bath’s Committee.
Recommendation
THAT the Taranaki Coastal Community Board receives the Rural Swimming Pools – End of Season Report 2019/20.
Background
Staff
3. All rural swimming pools were staffed by qualified Lifeguards throughout the season. Lifeguards are responsible for lifeguarding, maintaining the safety of the facilities, day- to-day presentation and regular water quality checks.
4. This season double lifeguarding was introduced to the rural swimming pools due to a change in legislation regarding breaks and the South Taranaki District Council’s Working Alone policy. This was achieved easily at the beginning of the season but proved challenging towards the end as several staff were students and returned to university or school towards the end of January and start of February. Reallocation of remaining staff was undertaken as best as possible for the balance of the season where this occurred.
5. Lifeguard shifts began half an hour before opening time each day at 11.30 am to undertake water testing and prepare the pools for public use with the second lifeguard starting at 2.00 pm. Both lifeguards continued until the 7.00 pm closing time.
https://orion.stdc.govt.nz/p/doc/reclei/1/Pools/ops/Rural Pools Report 2019 2020 Summer Season.docx Page 1 of 6
13 Taranaki Coastal Community Board - Information Reports
6. The pre-season commissioning of the rural swimming pools, water quality management and plant operation is managed fully in-house. This year, some experience was lacking due to several long-term staff members not returning for the 5 season. The original plan of how we were going to service and support the needs of rural pools and staff was revised and shared amongst other staff when a key staff member fell ill.
7. Rostering patterns were created to ensure that staff did not work over 40 hours per week on a five-on two-off rotation. Some staff picked up extra days towards the end of the season.
Opening Hours
8. The rural swimming pool season started on Wednesday 11 December 2019 and finished after completion of business on Monday 9 March 2020 (Taranaki Anniversary Day).
9. Opening hours for rural swimming pools were 3.30 pm to 7.00 pm on school days and 12.00 pm to 7.00 pm at weekends and school holidays. Public holidays had an earlier finish of 6.00 pm in line with Hāwera Aquatic Centre. Rural swimming pools were scheduled to be open to the public every day of the season except Christmas Day.
Unplanned Closures
10. A total of six days of operation were lost due to unplanned closures.
11. The Rawhitiroa Pool was closed for one day to clean up after vandalism had occurred the previous evening. The Pātea Pool closed on four occasions. The first was due to behaviour of a customer before opening and three consecutive days due to a circulation pump malfunction. The Waverley Pool was closed for one day due to a scheduled power outage.
Attendances
12. Attendance figures for all rural swimming pools below include public sessions, school groups, private bookings, school lessons and sports days and local swimming clubs. Tally counters are used to keep a reliable count of users at each facility. While this accurately records visitor numbers counted by lifeguards, measurement is not 100% accurate as head counts of visitors can be missed while the staff member is focused on supervision.
13. Total attendance of 37,629 in the 2019/20 rural swimming season was down on the 2019/20 season which saw 42,844 attendees. Attendance overall for this summer was the third lowest for the past eleven years. The Manaia Pool recorded the only rise in numbers with Rawhitiroa Pool the second most popular.

14. Attendance patterns were down, which was attributable to a cooler than normal start to summer with numbers down in December 2019 and January 2020 compared to other seasons.
15. All rural pools were used for Learn to Swim classes by local primary schools. An accredited lifeguard must be in attendance for schools to use the rural pools, which is consistent with the Council’s key performance indicators and industry best practice. All schools opted to use the Council lifeguards at their cost.
Vandalism, Break-ins and Unacceptable Behaviour
16. There were a number of overnight visits to rural swimming pools during the season. The security CCTV systems at all pools continue to be a deterrent to vandalism and after hours use.
17. Pātea Pool staff dealt with a lot of abusive behaviour and threatening customers which resulted in staff not always feeling comfortable working at this pool. Police were called on a few occasions and the pool closed earlier than 7.00 pm some nights as a result of unacceptable behaviour. Rawhitiroa Pool suffered wilful damage with smashed glass in and around the pool and showed evidence of overnight access on a few separate occasions.
Health and Safety
18. Lifeguards responded to a number of minor accidents during the season, although these were mostly small grazes and minor cuts, giving first aid assistance as needed.
19. All injuries were logged on the Lifeguards’ daily forms and on the Council’s hazard report form (where the injury is of a more serious nature). Injuries of a serious nature are then further discussed and investigated by the Council’s Health and Safety Committee. A head laceration at the Manaia Pool resulted in an ambulance callout. Stitches were required.

15 Taranaki Coastal Community Board - Information Reports
Improvements
Rawhitiroa Pool 5
20. The Rawhitiroa Pool filtration and circulation plant and equipment was replaced at a cost of just under $100,000. On start-up of the new plant, the improved circulation pressure pushed built-up rust into the pool and caused some staining to the tiles. The chlorine pump and dosing system was not installed until the last week of season.
Eltham Pool
21. A planned upgrade to the office building was deferred after plans were drawn up and building consent application submitted, when it was realised insufficient budget had been approved. The unspent funds have been reallocated towards the cost to build a secure structure for the sewer pipe crossing of the Mangawharawhara Stream after the older pipe was damaged the previous season in a storm. A replacement project to renew the office building will be included in the 2021-2031 Long Term Plan.
22. Unplanned water loss is still occurring with the cause unknown at this stage. A leak in the balance tank was sealed pre-season but further water loss has continued. Further investigations will take place over the off-season.
Kaponga Pool
23. The Kaponga Pool has appeared to have some water loss. Investigation will take place over the off-season.
24. All the Phebalium trees along the boundary with the Swiss Club were removed as they had become unstable. Removal of uprooted stumps and reinstatement of the grounds will follow.
25. A highlight at the Kaponga Pool occurred on Monday 9 March 2020, the last day of the season, with the hosting of the Dog Splash Day on Taranaki Anniversary Day. This event gave dogs (and their owners) the opportunity to have a swim prior to the pool being closed. The weather was cold and overcast.
Manaia Pool
26. Plans have been completed for an upgrade of the changing rooms, concourse and circulation. Work is scheduled to begin in the off-season.
Pātea Pool
27. A tiered seating and extra shade project is planned to be undertaken in the off-season.
Waverley Pool
28. No extra maintenance or upgrades occurred at Waverley Pool over the 2019/20 season.

Customer Surveys
29. Customer surveys were conducted at each of the rural swimming pools over the 5 2019/20 rural swimming season. A total of 168 responses were received overall from the six pools.
30. The satisfaction level measured by those who responded ‘good and better’ is above the target within the performance measures. Responses indicating ‘acceptable’ are not counted as positive ‘satisfaction’ responses in the collation of these survey questions.
31. All pools had an increase in percentage in the responses to how well users considered the pools were maintained.

Summary of Customer Surveys
34. Most customers surveyed are generally happy with levels of service, presentation and maintenance at most of the facilities. The upgrade work planned for the Manaia Pool complex over the next three financial years is likely to make a positive difference to customer satisfaction levels.

18 Taranaki Coastal Community Board - Information Reports
5 Information Report
To Taranaki Coastal Community Board From Community Development Manager, Claire Symes Date 21 April 2020 Subject Community Development Activity Report
Executive Summary
1. This report updates the Taranaki Coastal Community Board on progress with community development projects and activities across the District and other items of interest.
Recommendation
THAT the Taranaki Coastal Community Board receives the Community Development Activity Report.
District Activities
National Local Authority Accessibility Survey
2. In late 2019, the Council was invited to participate in the National Local Authority Survey on Accessibility. The survey was conducted by the Office for Disability Issues (ODI), to collate information from local authorities about how well they feel their policies and practices are currently meeting the needs of people with disabilities.
3. Of the 78 local authorities that were asked to respond 23 did so, with the South Taranaki District Council being one of these. Our responses ranked fairly average in terms of how well we accommodate the needs of disabled people in our District. Where we could improve is largely in the area of infrastructure and transport services, however budget and resourcing constraints may make this challenging.
4. The report has helped to build a national picture of what is working well in regards to accessibility at a local level, as well as where the gaps are for improvement. The responses have given the ODI the opportunity to develop more robust accessibility policies and practices in communities around New Zealand, to positively impact the daily lives of disabled people. The full report can be found on the ODI website.
South Taranaki Heritage and Family History Week
5. The Hāwera Genealogy Society Heritage and Family History Week was cancelled due to the COVID-19 lockdown but the Hāwera Street Names book which was researched and written by Arthur Fryer and Ross Corrigan has been formatted and prepared by the Community Development Unit for publication by the Society. Although the book launch was to have been held during the Heritage and Family History Week, this has been postponed until further notice.

Mayor’s Taskforce for Jobs (MTFJ) – Celebrating Apprentices
6. The Mayor’s Taskforce for Jobs function to recognise and congratulate the 2019 apprentices and their South Taranaki employers was held on 18 March 2020 at the Normanby Hall. Ten ITO graduates attended with family and a few employers, with MTFJ 5 Steering Group members and staff making up the numbers to an audience of 40.
7. The Mayor presented letters of congratulation to graduates and thanked employers, ITO training advisors and family for their support during study and praised employees for their hard work. The Council’s Iwi Liaison Advisor, Reg Korau provided a personal and inspirational speech on Beating the Odds and a two minute video was shown of the Prime Minister congratulating the graduates.
8. Silver Fern Farms provided steak and sausages, the barbecue and the cooks and MTFJ New Zealand contributed funding towards the cost of the evening.
Roadsafe Taranaki Advanced Driver Training
9. Over 80 people from across the Region attended the Advanced Driving weekend which was held in Hāwera on 7 and 8 March 2020. Instructors from NZ Advanced Driver Training provided practical driving experience and the Roadsafe Taranaki team provided interactive activities mixed in with some current road rules and driver behaviour questions.
Pātea Ward
Pātea Loop – Stage 1
10. A meeting was held on 26 February 2020 with the Pātea Golf Club to discuss and consider the proposed Pātea Loop Stage 1. The Pātea Golf Club have agreed to Stage 1 in principle. The next step involves a walkthrough, developing a Stage 1 plan and community consultation.
Pātea Seats
11. Local artist, Gabrielle Belz has begun decoratively painting seats on the main road in Pātea. The seat at the corner of Leicester and Egmont streets is completed and now adorned with foliage images . The seats outside the Pātea Vet and LibraryPlus will be painted in due course.
Eltham-Kaponga Ward
Taylor Park Dog Park
12. Steps are being undertaken to make the Taylor Park Dog Park on Taylor Street, Eltham, more secure with neighbouring residents. Residents have been written to about working with the Council to improve security around the park. Quotes are being sought to install a new fence and gate near the old soccer clubrooms’ entrance.
Eltham Vets “Dog Parking” Signs
13. A “dog parking” sign with a hook for tying dogs to in front of the Eltham LibraryPlus was provided by the Eltham Vets some time ago but the sign was damaged. The Eltham Vets were approached about replacing the damaged sign which they readily agreed to and they provided two additional signs with hooks with one installed at the back entrance to the LibraryPlus, near the drinking fountain, and one installed in front of the Eltham Four Square by Council staff.

Te Hāwera Ward
Sound Mirrors 5 14. All of the required external funding has now been secured for the two sound mirrors which have been donated to King Edward Park by Hāwera company Global Stainless.
15. Fabrication of the sound mirrors was underway and it was expected this would take two weeks with the structures then being sent to New Plymouth for sandblasting and painting. This work has been stalled by the COVID-19 lockdown. A site blessing will be arranged before the sound mirrors are installed in the Park and a blessing and morning tea will be held once the installation is completed.
Taranaki Coastal Ward
Ōtahi Bridge
16. The foot bridge crossing Ōtahi Stream below Te Namu Pā was successfully installed on schedule. The bridge was officially opened by Mayor Phil Nixon on Friday 13 March, with a blessing by Te Namu Pā trustees to complete the works. Local hapū members were visibly moved at the opening – this bridge has been a long time coming and will provide access to the nearby Te Namu Pā urupa which is a particularly sacred site in Ōpunakē. Signage telling the story of the site will be developed with the hapū.
Cape Egmont Ablution Pod
17. The Council has obtained resource and building consent to install an ablution pod near the Cape Egmont Boat Club on Bayly Road. The ablution pod is similar to the one installed at Waihi Beach near Hāwera and has been partly funded by the Government’s Tourism Infrastructure Fund. Given the current COVID-19 lockdown, work on this project has stalled and the need for the facility will be reviewed prior to it being installed.

5 Information Report
To Taranaki Coastal Community Board From Libraries and Cultural Services Manager, Cath Sheard Date 21 April 2020 Subject District LibraryPlus Report – February and March 2020
Executive Summary
1. This report covers the range of library activities and statistics across the District for February and March 2020.
Recommendation
THAT the Taranaki Coastal Community Board receives the District LibraryPlus Report – February and March 2020.
LibraryPlus Activities
COVID-19
2. In the week prior to lockdown LibraryPlus staff began considering how we could deliver services to residents with the facilities closed to the public. This put us in a relatively good position when Levels 3 and 4 were activated. Our Business Continuity and Pandemic Response Plans were helpful in guiding decision-making.
3. Many LibraryPlus staff are working from home, designing and delivering a range of online activities and events to ensure people feel less isolated and assist parents and caregivers with keeping children occupied. The Branch Librarians are keeping in touch with their staff on a regular basis to ensure they are feeling safe and supported.
4. The lockdown has meant a steep learning curve, with teams embracing new ways of working including TEAM Messenger/Chat and ZOOM. Some tools are being used to keep in touch as teams, others are being utilised to provide video or live events on social media platforms for our residents.
5. The team continues to work on plans for delivery of services if we are in Levels 3 and 4 again, including potential home delivery, some form of self-service, ways of delivering online book clubs and other events designed to reduce isolation and anxiety.

Public Outreach and Events
6. Pātea LibraryPlus was open for Paepae in the Park again this year and staff enjoyed the 5 busy atmosphere on Waitangi Day. There was a constant flow of people coming through for a range of things from using the toilet facilities, utilising WiFi, getting out of the sun, having a look at the new library and buying books. People commented on how fabulous the library is, including a Wellington woman who said the kid’s room is the brightest and loveliest she has seen in a long time, with lots of great things for the kids to use and do.
7. Around the District adults were pleased to see the usual programmes begin again after the holidays. It is clear for many people their time in the library is a bright spot in their day or week. One example is the crafty morning tea at the Pātea LibraryPlus where 26 eager crafters participated in the first week and then 20 plus for the rest of the month. The group ranges in ages and ability with knitting, cross stitch and so much more being done. The knitters create baby blankets for Plunket and all have morning tea and enjoy one another’s company.
8. The Dementia-friendly book club held its first meeting in March at the Eltham Care Home. This was a lovely session with the attendees giving some excellent commentary around the story shared, The Garden Party by Katherine Mansfield. In the future, some sessions will be held at the rest home and others in the library.
Children’s Services
9. District Children’s and Young Adult Librarian, Pam Jones held a staff training workshop at Ōpunakē LibraryPlus with Andrew Hornblow. Mr Hornblow showed those attending ways to use copper wire when using STEAM. These new ideas will be incorporated into future STEAM activities.
10. Following this training Ōpunakē children made 3D creations with LEDs. Instead of using copper tape as we have in the past with similar projects, this time recycled wire from old APNK equipment was used, along with magnets, to create a switch.
11. The Northern Health School (NHS) resumed bi-weekly visits with new teacher Viv Clarke. This is a project-based learning group with students who are unable to attend school regularly. The value to the students in having this class in the library is immense. Some never leave home, yet here they are in a public space, learning alongside each other, interacting with each other, their teacher and library staff. In the first session they were shown how to operate Beebots and Bluebots and then they navigated the robotics around the Hungry Caterpillar map. Through fun, trial and error the girls competed to see who was quickest to reach the fruit.
12. The start of the term saw staff visiting schools, meeting new teachers and ensuring we connect with students. For example, Hāwera staff continued to work with teachers and students at the Hāwera Christian School, introducing a range of technology and the home- schoolers group is again visiting regularly. Pātea Area School are using the Pātea LibraryPlus regularly, with year 7 and 8 classes taking stacks of books to enjoy during the fortnight. Principal, James Davidson made the comment that while doing his lunchtime rounds, he saw a 16-year-old boy sitting outside reading a comic. He had never seen this student with a book before and when he asked what he was up to the young man said, ‘I’m reading a book, the library came yesterday with a whole heap’.

28 Taranaki Coastal Community Board - Information Reports
Digital Services
13. A new Play Station has been purchased and installed in the children’s section of the 5 Manaia LibraryPlus and was getting well used up until the lockdown. Currently there is only the game Minecraft available, but staff have been speaking with children and teens to determine which other games should be purchased.
14. The reach of the LibraryPlus social media presence continues to grow. A successful individual blog post can be read by over 245 people. Facebook posts for the month had a total reach of 11,553 with the highest reaching post at 5,600. The highest number of engagements for the quarter for one post was 145 (engagements are comments, shares and link clicks). During March, Twitter posts collected 2,778 impressions with the top tweet gaining 190 impressions.
15. There has been a surge of around 50% in our Facebook reach post lockdown but, surprisingly, a decrease in people viewing our blog. We are looking at whether this is simply user behaviour or a reflection of the content we are putting on the blog.
Statistics
WiFi and APNK Usage
16. Statistics for WiFi sessions and use of the Aotearoa People's Network Kaharoa (APNK) computers are finally available following changes in APNK service delivery by the Department of Internal Affair’s (DIA) contractors. However, due to changes in the way DIA collect statistics comparisons cannot be made with previous years.
17. The WiFi was used 12,995 times during February 2020. The figures for March were not available for this report.
18. There were 1,929 log-ons to the APNK computers during February, totalling 64,669 minutes of use.

Circulation
19. Issues for February were 12,767 compared with 11,394 for the same period last year. Issues for March were 11,995 compared with 13,224 the same period last year. Year to date issues for the first nine months are 122,658 compared with 118,240 for the same period in the year prior.
20. Due to the lockdown we started pushing eBooks and eAudio via social media, as did libraries around the country. This caused an immediate surge in e-issues, with March being 26% up on an average month. As a result, we have taken $10,000 from our physical item budget and invested it in e-resources.

Membership
22. Membership of the libraries stands at 12,342 or 46% of the population.
Conclusion
23. The COVID-19 lockdown is an incredibly difficult time for our communities, staff included. It has been heart-warming to see the ways in which staff have supported each other then quickly implemented new ways of working. In one short, busy week we introduced a range of new online offerings and reached out to residents in a variety of ways, including individual calls to those without email. As with any crisis, people have turned to the libraries and, thanks to technology, we have been able to respond.
