Questionnaire for Data

Please provide as much data about the community that you serve.

1. What is the demographic data of the community?

See the QuickFacts page for Annapolis from the U.S. Census Bureau.

See also the recent Digital Inclusion Survey by the University of Maryland for detailed interactive demographic reports on the Annapolis Regional Library community (type “Annapolis Area” in the search bar on the interactive map).

2. What specific data do you currently keep regarding library use?

We keep circulation, door count, computer use, and programming attendance. These statistics are also available on our OrangeBoy dashboard.

3. What can you share with us about that data?

Average monthly circulation and door counts are shown below (6/1/2014 through 8/31/2015)

Circulation 51,500

Door Count 24,724

Monthly computers use (7/1/2015through 8/31/2015)

Sessions 6152

Users 1946

Programming attendance

4. What do you think this data tells you that is accurate? Not accurate?

The circulation data are very reliable. It is accumulated automatically by the library’s integrated library system.

The computer usage data are also very reliable. However, there was a significant change in methodology recently with the transition to a new computer management system, so long-range trend information is not available. Program Document Annapolis Library Questionnaire for Data 5

5. Do you have community statistics on the following?

a. What are the literacy rates? See link at #1 above.

b. What is the jobless rate? See link at #1 above.

c. How many languages are spoken in schools? See link at #1 above.

d. What are the poverty levels in schools? See link at #1 above.

e. What percentage of 3rd graders are reading at 3rd grade level?

Data from the Anne Arundel County Public Schools 2014 School Performance Reports:

School Basic Proficient Advanced West Annapolis 6.3% 62.5% 31.3 Mills-Parole 34.7% 58.7% 6.7% Germantown 28.3% 66.7% 5.1% Annapolis 19.6% 58.7% 21.7%

Collections

1. What is the anticipated collections size for the new library?

We do not have a target size for the collection in the new building. Given programming requirements and the space constraints, we anticipate right-sizing the collections to fit the available space in the resulting design.

We would allocate collection floor space in the new library as follows:

a. Adults ...... 50%

b. Young Adults (Teens) ...... 5%

c. Children...... 35%

d. Magazines and Special Collections ...... 10%

2. What do you anticipate the growth/reduction to be for these collections?

We expect the overall size of the physical collection to remain fairly stable. Long-term vision calls for expanded growth in the digital collections.

One significant difference from the current collection: we expect a dramatically reduced footprint for the Maryland Room Collection. We will explore the future needs for that collection during the programming sessions.

3. What are the ideal shelf heights for the collection?

The typical shelf heights in the programming handout are suitable.

4. What is the current collections size?

Counts Nonfiction Fiction Media Totals Adult 23,210 21,950 14,150 59,310 Young Adult (Teen) 390 3,880 260 4,530 Children 8,480 22,200 730 31,410 Reference 870 Gold Star Collection 1,750 Magazines 4,890 Mass Market Paperbacks 4,610 Grand Total 107,310 Program Document Annapolis Library Collections 7

Percentages Nonfiction Fiction Media Totals Adult 22% 20% 13% 55% Young Adult (Teen) >1% 4% >1% 4% Children 8% 21% 1% 29% Reference 1% Gold Star Collection 2% Magazines 5% Mass Market Paperbacks 4%

5. How do you see the collections changing over the next 5-10 years?

We anticipate the overall physical size of the collection remaining stable. We expect to transition to more digital collections, particularly with the media collections. For example, audio CDs are now considered a legacy format. We expect that collection to nearly vanish in the next 5-10 years.

Magazines and periodicals are also shifting to digital-centric collections. We don’t expect these formats to disappear entirely, but they are much less-used. Consequently, we subscribe to fewer titles than ever before, and so do not need as much space.

We prefer flexibility in shifting the fiction/non-fiction allocation in the adult collection. Historically, the fiction collection is much more in demand than the non-fiction. Again, with increased access to reliable on-line information, this trend is increasing. We would prefer shelving that allows shifting without jarring gaps within the collection.

Technology

1. How many computers do you envision in the library?

We currently provision 27 computers in the library. We expect to provision about the same number of computers in the new library. We would prefer the computers be dispersed throughout the library; they do not need to be in a single “computer area.”

Recent trends show a shift toward increased Wi-Fi usage. However, we do not yet see a decrease in current computer usage. Instead, more customers are asking for electrical outlets and seating areas where they can use their own devices. Program Document Annapolis Library Collections 8

2. Will you have laptop lending/laptop vending?

Yes. Although this service is currently unfunded, we are aligning funding efforts to start this service in the near future.

3. How many laptops?

We expect to provide 10 laptops initially.

4. Will you have iPads?

Yes. As with the laptops, we anticipate providing this service in the near future.

Special Equipment

What kinds of special equipment do you envision? Consider the types of equipment used for Maker’s Spaces such as Ready Animators, portable green screens, etc.

We expect to provision 3D printing service at this library.

We anticipate a need for some STEM programming. We do not foresee a need for a dedicated maker space. However, the meeting rooms should be very well-provisioned with both in-floor and wall electrical outlets to allow flexibility for STEM and maker space programming.

Identify an Annapolis customer. Describe, in detail, why the customer experience will be better because of this space or characteristic. What will the customer be doing in these spaces and places? Do a Brand check! What qualities will these spaces support? What will the Positive Outcome for the Annapolis customer be? And DIG even DEEPER! Customer attributes:  Single mother  Relies on public transportation  Has child at Annapolis Elementary  No computer at home  Taking a class at AACC

1. You have stated that you will need more NATURAL LIGHT. How will the customer experience be enhanced by more natural light? We want to create a welcoming interior that inspires our customers and is conducive to their productivity. Natural light is one way to create this kind of space. The customer I have in mind has a hectic, stressful life, and her time in the library is important productivity time for her but also is relaxing. A beautiful space with light, will enhance this experience for her.

2. You have stated that you will need a CAFE with food/vending. How will customer be using the Cafe? What will they be doing? How does this space support the Strategic Goals of the Library? Have a food area will provide a place for customers to take a break from their work and have a snack or eat food that they brought along with them. This supports our Strategic Initiative to “create welcoming, accessible and functional spaces.” Rather than asking people to leave the library when they need to refuel, we can invite them to stay and continue their time in our welcoming space. The customer I have in mind depends on public transportation to come to the library. It would make her life a little less complicated and she could stay at the library longer if she could multitask eating lunch with her library study time.

3. You have stated that you will need Wi‐Fi spaces. Why is this so critical? Describe 3 different users using the Wi‐Fi in 3 different ways. I’m honestly not sure what is meant by wi‐fi spaces. All spaces in our new library need to have outstanding wi‐fi service. 3 different users of wi‐fi: 1. Customer with a brand new tablet who wants a lesson on downloading eBooks. Access to fast wifi will enable staff to quickly demonstrate how easy it is to download materials from the library. 2. A library program is using laptops/tablets so class attendees can follow along on a demonstration of our grant research database. A robust wifi connection is essential! 3. Teens in our teen space are learning about virtual reality technology. Using mobile phones with library‐provided cardboard virtual reality viewers, the teens will need wifi to stream video. 4. The customer I have in mind appreciates using the free wi‐fi when she is at the library. It saves on her data plan.

Program Document Annapolis Library Dig Deeper: CC 16

4. You have stated that you will need a MEETING ROOM with a LARGE MOVABLE PARTITION. Describe how this meeting room will be used. How many people will be using the room. What types of equipment do you envision for the space? We need a room at least the size of Odenton. This room will be used by library programs and by the community. Many community meetings and library programs can be accomplished when the room is split by the partition. On occasion we will need the entire space for large programs and some community meetings.

5. You have stated that you will need PLACES for GROUP STUDY. What types of users will be using the group study rooms? How long will they need them? What kind of technology and equipment will they be using? What projects will they be working on? Tutors (Literacy Council and private) need places to meet. Mostly the users will be adult, but sometimes an adult tutor is assisting a child, so the space will need to be completely visible. Some tutors sit next to their student, sometimes across from them, so the seating arrangement should be flexible. Mostly print materials are in use, but outlets for personal computers are essential.

7. You have stated that you will need a DEDICATED TEEN SPACE. What activities do you want your teens to be doing in the space?  Talking – area should accommodate cracking up and being a little silly.  Spending time on their own computer, side‐by‐side with their friends.  Playing with new technology.  Browsing collection.

8. Now! Have some fun! Search in magazines, the internet or even take your own pictures of COMFORTABLE SEATING! What can you imagine for your library? Think about what comfortable seating is for every age group.

Program Document Annapolis Library Dig Deeper: CC 17

Children’s area –cozy seats that are low, wide with no arms would be a nice spots where a caregiver can sit together with a child, or 2 or 3 kids could sit together on.

Upholstered seating with arms would make welcoming seating for adults who are spending time in the library reading.

Multipurpose chairs that will be at computers should be durable, easy to care for and comfortable. They are heavily used and customers will appreciate seating that is clean and easy to move around as needed. Program Document Annapolis Library Dig Deeper: CC 18

Teen area needs something cozy and striking.

Adjustable bar seats for higher surface work areas. Great for people with back issues.

Meeting room – something stackable and durable. Hopefully not too heavy to move as well. Program Document Annapolis Library Dig Deeper: CF 19

New Annapolis Library Building Needs

1. Natural Lighting a. Natural lighting will help a customer working on graphic design software or a laptop to better see his or her screen. This will potentially encourage customers to stay longer and work on more long-range projects. b. It will also create a more warm and inviting atmosphere encouraging all guests to stay longer.

2. Café with vending a. A café is the cornerstone of a modern library. It’s making the space welcoming, functional and inviting. If we create a café, people will want to come and STAY! It will make the library a destination for families, professionals holding meetings and teens.

3. WiFi spaces a. WiFi is a part of everyday life for most people. To not have it would be reminding people of the old image of libraries. b. Customers who would use WiFi bars or spaces include business owners, teens and parents with kids using the library. c. It’s also important to remember that not everyone can afford expensive data plans so having free WiFi would serve those who need it and allow them to have access to the Internet on smart phones or devices.

4. Meeting room with large movable partition a. Considering the large number of non profit groups in the county and lack of affordable meeting room space, a meeting room with moveable partitions would be heavily utilized by the community. b. I could envision multiple meetings going on in the same room at the same time as well as a library program and a public meeting.

5. Places for group study/ Study carrels a. There will be multiple kinds of users for group study rooms. b. Short-term school projects can be completed in a few hours in these spaces. c. Longer-term business planning and projects could also be held in these rooms, which could be booked for days at a time. d. Access to technology would be critical in both scenarios.

6. Storytime room off children’s area a. Parents and caregivers who take their children to storytime can range in their ability to provide the foundations of reading readiness. It’s critical that the storytime experience include helping parents who Program Document Annapolis Library Dig Deeper: CF 20

need it learn the five practices of preparing a child to read and that could be enhanced by directing people to move into he children’s area after storytime. There needs to be that follow up and reinforcement. b. I envision a storytime set up where customers must enter and exit through the children’s area so they are encouraged to check out books, work on the skills of early literacy and STAY at the library after the program is over. c. We want parents and caregivers to leave feeling like we have taught them how to be their child’s teachers and that they are welcomed and encouraged to stay.

7. Dedicated children’s reading and play area a. A Read and Play area is an extension of the comments above concerning the storytime room off the children’s area. It’s critical to integrate and reinforce what’s being shared in the storytime and will encourage people to stay. b. It is also a destination for busy parents that know they should be teaching their children but don’t have the time or skills. It’s a small thing they can do to help their child.

8. Dedicated teen space a. If we want to build lifelong customers, we need a good teen space. b. I envision a place were teens can just hang out, play games, chat with friends, explore technology and feel accepted. c. We’ll need plenty of access to technology as well as power sources for devices.

9. Comfortable seating a. Examples

Top 10 Building Needs – Homework

1. For the Annapolis customer that likes sitting in the few spots in the library where the natural light filters in from the window, having more natural light will give them more options to move around in the library. If the customer comes in and sees that “her spot” is taken, she is likely to leave sooner. If several choices are available that customer will stay in the library longer and perhaps discover other available services in the library.

2. The café will provide a designated place in the library where food & drinks are allowed. The customer that stays in the library for two hours or more doesn’t have to leave the library for a snack. It would also be a shush-free zone to hold extensive conversations in person or on the phone. The café will be a spot where those who have laptops can plug and work for long periods. It will serve as a third space, which is in line with the library’s strategic goal to create welcome, accessible and functional spaces.

3. The Wi-Fi is critical because so many Annapolis patrons rely on the Wi-Fi and have trouble connecting depending on where they are in the library. Three different customers that use the Wi-Fi are tutors (children and adult learning), teleworkers, and customers who lack an important piece of technology that is present in the library. The tutors use their laptops as a resource for their tutees. Teleworkers use the library as their cubicle away from work – sending emails, scanning important documents to their clients/employers, and holding meetings. A customer with a laptop came in and said his printer was broken. He worked on his document from his laptop then sent it to his email and printed it from one of the public computers.

4. The meeting room is used regularly by the library staff for early literacy programing, FIN, book clubs, and more. It is also heavily used by the community. Some groups are as small at 10-20 people, where there are also groups larger than 50 people. It would be helpful to have that partition so that more people can use the meeting rooms, and that very large events could happen in the library. Having a projector in the meeting room would be crucial, along with tables and chairs. A closet that could hold a lot of the early literacy resources would also be beneficial. Program Document Annapolis Library Dig Deeper: EA 25

5. Tutors and their students will probably be the heaviest users of the group study rooms. Most of the tutors stay here for 1 or 2 hours, depending on the size of people there are working with. ESL tutors often have 3-4 people they are working with at a time. They generally bring their own technology, so it’s important to have place to plug in laptops, phones, etc. They work on vocabulary and practice speaking conversational English.

6. Parents and kids that attend storytime, often come in a bit early and hang out in the children’s area a play with toys and look at books, so it would be great to have a waiting area that included similar items and be adjacent to the Storytime Room, so when the doors open, the parents/kids can walk right in. When the parents/kids are leaving, that waiting area would be a great place for them to return to connect with other parents/kids, and perhaps pick up a few materials before they leave the library. Ideally, you want the parents/kids to want to come back for another storytime, or another age appropriate event in the library, and check out some library materials.

7. In the teen space, I would like all their materials and resources to be in one central location with the benefit of soundproofing so they can get a little louder and not fear someone will tell them to be quiet. I imagine the teen space will be a place where they can study, a place they can come to relax and feel safe, a place where they can be creative (in a makerspace).

8. While searching for chairs that are comfortable and fun, I ran across modern ball chairs, like the ones at NC State University. They are great for individual study, they can appeal to a wide range of ages, and even if several of them are grouped together, it still allows for a modicum of privacy.

Dig Deeper into the Top 10 Building Needs Heather Ravanbakhsh 12/14/15

Customer: My friend who has a 15 month old son

Natural Light‐The building will be more inviting with natural light filtering into all locations. Our current meeting room is dark and gloomy. In the winter, the center of the adult area remains dim on cloudy days and we have customers complain that they can’t see well. Natural light and sunshine make people feel more cheerful and lifts their spirits. The most popular spot in our current branch consists of two soft chairs in a window that gets lots of sunshine. There are always customers in those two chairs. If the building felt airy and spacious, my friend would not feel like she is missing out on a beautiful day by bringing her son to the library in good weather.

Café‐When my friend’s child gets older, they can have a snack in the café before or after programs and looking for books. Kids get cranky when they are hungry. She will be more likely to stop by the library when running errands if she knows there is a good spot to bring out the snacks in her diaper bag. She might use the Wi‐Fi to do some work on her iPad while in the café. She and other parents might gather in the café after storytime, again to eat snacks, and to continue chatting with one another. If she has forgotten to bring a snack or drink, she can get something from the vending machine. It would be great if the vending machine offered healthy foods along with traditional junk food snacks.

Wi‐Fi‐My friend is on a budget and does not have unlimited data for her phone and iPad. She appreciates any place that has free Wi‐Fi. If she learns about a great library app during the “appily ever after” digital storytime, she can download it right away while still in the storytime room. Two other uses of our WIFI: First, AARP Tax Aide’s use our meeting room to do the taxes for seniors and low income residents. Currently they have to bring their own hotspots because our Wi‐Fi is so terrible. In the new building the Aides could all access the internet via the library Wi‐Fi. Second: A customer may come by the library looking for a quiet place to do a skype job interview.

Meeting Room‐ For a while, she and her son attended a play group in the meeting room and went to La Leche meetings. When my friend’s son is older, she may bring him to Boy Scout meetings and other group activities in the meeting room. Her HOA meetings are also held at the library as well as her book club. The divider between the two meeting rooms is sound proof so that one group cannot hear what the other is doing.

Group Study Rooms‐My friend works from home and doesn’t have a regular office. Occasionally she needs to collaborate with others on projects. The library would be a good neutral meeting ground for her to meet with people she prefers not to invite into her home. As her child grows up, he will need to meet with classmates for homework and perhaps need a quiet spot to meet with a tutor. Wi‐Fi will be important to anyone using the group Program Document Annapolis Library Dig Deeper: HR 27

study room. A hook up to a projector would help those working together on a computer, allowing their document to be projected onto the wall.

Storytime Room‐My friend would love to get to storytime early and give her son a chance to play a bit before he needs to focus on the program. She might need to stop in the family restroom and change his diaper. As he gets older, she will appreciate being able to accompany him into the family restroom rather than sending him into the men’s room. Sometimes she notices that the men going into the men’s restroom appear to be a bit “sketchy” and she would not like them interacting with her young son. When her son was younger, she would have loved a quiet spot to nurse. She might stop at the café to feed him so that he won’t be cranky during the program. She likes going to a library where they have lots of toys. When her son is engrossed with a toy, she has time to pick out books for him. If the information desk were located at the intersection of the adult and children’s areas, it would be easy for her to ask the staff for assistance while still keeping an eye on her son. She does have trouble finding a moment to select materials for herself. A nearby display of popular adult materials would help her with this, as well as the dual purpose information desk. Her son loves going into the storytime room. There are big windows to the outside, plus windows out into the children’s area. Sometimes, when there is no storytime planned, he can go in there to play with activity sets mounted on the walls. The windows in the children’s area are higher up in the wall. Adults can see out when they stand up, but those sitting on the floor just see the wall and so are not bothered by distractions from the other side. Sometimes my friend arrives to the program late because her son took a long nap. Being able to see into the storytime room allows her to know when it would be a good time to interrupt. She can also scope out an empty spot on the floor before picking her way through the crowd. She is glad there is a convenient spot to park her stroller before entering the storytime area, and also plenty of space between the stacks for her to push her stroller and no dead ends where she gets stuck and has to back up. After the program, when she goes to check out, the checkout area is free of inviting trouble spots for her child. He can wander a bit without her worrying he will dash out the door, or climb up on furniture, or pull materials that are not for him off a display. She does not like to use the self‐checkouts, because she is juggling too many things, including keeping an eye on her son. She enjoys chatting with the circulation assistants who always make a point of having a friendly interaction with her son. He is a bit shy, but each time he comes to the library they draw him out a bit more. My friend imagines when her son is in elementary school and she brings him to the library to work on homework or to find books on a rainy day. The space for elementary school aged children is a great spot under a tree with tables, nooks for reading, and computers. There is always some sort of craft or activity left out by the librarians.

Teen Space‐My friend has noticed that the adult section of the library isn’t a good spot for young people. Sometimes as she and her son are coming or going from the children’s area she notices an adult causing a disruption. Sometimes she sees the police over there talking to one of the customers. A neighbor’s daughter had a strange man follow her around the library, asking insistently for her phone number. So when my friend’s son is old enough to Program Document Annapolis Library Dig Deeper: HR 28

go to the library on his own, she is relieved there is a separate teen space where he can browse for books and use the computers without interacting with the adult customers. The area is glassed in so that as he and his friends play computer games they can become a little loud without disturbing anyone else. But the glass wall lets the librarians and parents keep an eye on their behavior. The teen space has places for teens to perch (like a row of steps) and to relax, (like beanbags). Also there are tables where they can sit to do homework. There is usually a fun activity or puzzle left out by the librarians for them to do. They can check out a tablet with apps like Minecraft to use in the library. Sometimes there is a teen book club or other programs held in the teen area. When her son was little, he couldn’t wait to be old enough to use the space.

Comfortable Seating‐In the children’s area places for adult and kids to sit together to read, plus nooks for children to curl up with a book. In the teen area spots for teens to perch, or sprawl out, or sit on the floor. In the adult area soft chairs that are visible from the service desk so that the staff can see if someone has fallen asleep, is becoming drunk etc. Seating areas for the adults should not be hidden away in nooks so that staff can be aware of problem behavior. All seating should be easy to clean. Seating areas should have electrical outlets nearby for charging laptops, tablets, and phones. There should be good lighting for reading. Program Document Annapolis Library Dig Deeper: MK 29

Dig Deeper Exercise Marie Knobel

Natural Lighting

Our customers will have a more positive experience if the branch has abundant natural lighting. The benefits of natural light include feeling more alert and energetic. The result should be that they will spend more time in the new library enjoying everything it has to offer.

Café with Vending

My commuter customer will be taking a break between work and home, grabbing a quick snack and drink, looking over the write up on the materials they just checked out.

It might also serve as a place to wait for a taxi or other transportation.

It would be best to have healthful offerings in this vending area which adults with young children will especially appreciate.

Wi‐Fi Spaces

Wi‐Fi spaces are critical for customers to conduct personal or professional business and the library is an environment everyone has access to.

1. Students –School work, keeping in touch (social media, gamming) or just spending time on the internet. 2. Commuter customer might even stop after they check out and order dinner to pick up on way home. 3. Teleworkers ‐ Use the library as a backup location if their home internet is down.

Meeting Room

Meeting room space will be used by our customer for community meetings, non‐profit and for profit functions. In addition to this Library programming will take place in these meeting rooms.

Equipment needed – Wi‐Fi, plugs for laptops, projectors, tables and chairs, overhead and ambient lighting.

Podium and possibly a small raised stage area (could be portable).

About 100 people for each side.

Group study rooms

Some users of these spaces will include tutors of adults and children and students needing space for collaborative projects or other homework.

Groups of 2‐8 would benefit from these spaces for 1‐2 hour time blocks possibly longer. Program Document Annapolis Library Dig Deeper: MK 30

Types of projects will include those for students through high school and so would need tables, chairs, plug ins for laptops, tutors of young children often use paper crafting of some sort so will benefit from multilevel table space.

Story time Room

After you enter the children’s area, our customer will find a convenient stroller parking area near the Story time Room. The entrance to the children’s area will have wide aisles and a play space within the area. Comfortable seating for adults and children for resting and reading will be a welcoming addition to this area.

I would like parents and caregivers to say are that we have so much to offer them by the way of materials, programming and play space that they leave feeling like their children have gone on an adventure.

Teen Space

Activities that teens will be doing in this space include school projects/research, connecting with friends in person and via social media, reading, and gaming. If possible, this would be a good place to offer for use video recording equipment for personal projects that the teens may have in progress.

Comfortable seating

In addition to seating suggested in the pictures, I think it is important to have seating specifically designed for our senior customers, chairs with seats that are higher than standard are easier for these customers to get in and out of.

Identify an Annapolis customer. Describe, in detail, why the customer experience will be better because of this space or characteristic. What will the customer be doing in these spaces and places?

Do a Brand check! What qualities will these spaces support?

What will the Positive Outcome for the Annapolis customer be?

And DIG even DEEPER! 1. You have stated that you will need more NATURAL LIGHT. How will the customer experience be enhanced by more natural light?  Natural light is more welcoming, soothing, aesthetically pleasing  Can be healthier for some customers who are affected by fluorescent lighting  Customers remain in the library all day because they are using it as a work space or they have no home will appreciate the connection with the outdoors.  Customers will like the “green” aspect of natural lighting

2. You have stated that you will need a CAFE with food/vending. How will customer be using the Cafe? What will they be doing?

Customer User Experience: Holds Pick-up Patty is a white female, who appears to be in her mid 50s.

1.Please tell us about the last time you picked up a hold at the library? She came 3-4 days ago. Her first step was to go to the library website, where she looked at the newest not the most popular books the library has, then she clicked on placeahold. She then received a notice that a book was available. She came to the library to pick up the book and check it out. “It was waiting there just for me!”

2.Who did you encounter, interact, or communicate with while at the library? Checkout people.

3.Can you describe your interaction with them? They were friendly and helpful, as always.

4. What else did you do while visiting the library? Patty went to check out the new release section.

5.Did the library facility influence or have an impact on picking up your hold(s) or looking at the new book display? There is not as much room for display here.

6. What was particularly helpful during your visit? She liked the ability to come to the holds section and pick up her hold quickly. It is very clear where to go to pick up the holds.

Second follow-up: Do you like having the holds and new books located near the front of the library? Yes. Patty also relayed she would go to any part of the library to pick up the holds.

Customer Experience: Mother who attends Early Literacy Programs with her children TJ is a white mother of three children (Emelia who is 21 months old, Evett, who is 6 months old, and a teenager).

1.Tell us about the last time you and your child came to an Early Literacy Program at the library? TJ and her children come to the ANN library every Thursday for the Babies in Bloom session at 9:30 a.m. TJ said she was happy to get to the library on time last week for the program! She waited in the area with the blocks (stackable blocks, children’s area). The 21 month year old pulled the books off the shelf. She had to redirect the child. She then entered the class with the children. The presenter had great energy. She and her children participated in the program. They sat on the floor for the program.

She would like to have a place to store the diaper bag and purse because they are distracting to the children. Currently, she uses the top of meeting room tables stored in the far side of the room. She said the program was enjoyable, she liked that the bathroom and the water fountain we close by and thought that was practical. She would like a larger bathroom. She liked that the closet outside the room for stroller parking because you need space for that. She can’t bring the double stroller in because it is too large. She said she would not want stroller storage to impact the size of the program room. The program room needs to be larger. The programming space is in good proximity to the part of the library she uses (children’s area).

Program Document Annapolis Library Directed Storytelling 42

2. Who did you encounter, interact, or communicate with while at the library? Suzanne ,Library Associate, before the program started. Nisa, BIBs provider, Gloria, Manager, and other mothers.

3. Can you describe your interaction with them? Suzanne was helping another customer, who was so delighted she offered to give Suzanne money. TJ noted she asked Suzanne if she would be working this Thursday because she is planning to bring her a small gift. Nisa presented the program, not much 1-1. She watched, listened and interacted during the program. TJ noted she always has pleasant interactions when she comes to the ANN library. TJ noted there was no other space for the moms to interact following a program. She relayed she has made some friends- some significant friendships with other moms while attending library programs. Some of them meet up afterwards and go for a walk or go to the mall to continue to play or they go to other houses.

TJ would like a private space where mothers could sit around and nurse little ones. She would like a time period following the program for non-structured time for play for the children in a safe area. This would be a time for moms to connect as well. TJ relayed she wouldn’t want the children to disrupt others in the library. She wanted a space where the children couldn’t damage books.

3B. Is there anything that would entice you to stay at the library either before or after a program? She was envisioning a space where kids could be silly, play with blocks and books. They want to be quiet for other customers, so we don’t stay now.

She loves the idea of hanging out with other mothers. She said part of the reason is to interact and have a social experience. She likes having an adult connection. Right now, her identity is being a mom, so she likes having the adult social interaction at the library.

4. What happened while you were in the Early Literacy program that you liked? She liked everything. She liked the structure. Her daughter knows what to expect. At home, they don’t have a lot of structure because she and her husband both work. She really likes her child to experience the structure of a program and it’s consistent. TJ said that is why she likes having the same provider for each program. She liked that the meeting room is a big open space where the children can’t damage anything. She likes that the facilitator has a lot of energy. TJ talked about putting the diaper bag on top of the tables for storage. She likes the water fountain outside the room. Sometimes the temperature is an issue in the room when it’s too warm and the doors have to be propped open. There is a safety concern with having the doors propped open. TJ relayed that the moms take turn managing the door.

5. Did anything happen during your visit that hindered your enjoyment of the library? No, I don’t believe so. My daughter wants to pull the books off the shelf- but that’s my problem.

6. What else did you do while visiting the library? I attended the program and left.

Program Document Annapolis Library Directed Storytelling 43

7. Did the library facility influence or have an impact on your enjoyment of the program in anyway? The Early Literacy Program has everything that she needs. She does not have to worry about bothering anyone in other parts of the library because the part of the library that she uses has everything that she needs. The meeting room where she attends programs is in close proximity to the water fountains, bathrooms, and the children’s area and she does not have to pass through the quiet areas and possibly disturb others.

8. What was particularly helpful during your visit? The stacking blocks are convenient and keep her daughter busy before the program. She said that it would be helpful to have a section of just cardboard books for babies who are waiting for programs to begin. She would like to see other items for interactive play. She said there should be diaper bag storage throughout the meeting room. She said that the diaper bag is distracting to the baby.

9. How did your visit make you feel? The visit made her feel relaxed. She feels a sense of relief when she attends programs. It is a time and place where she can interact with other moms while not having to worry about the children. She said the program is a good escape and a worry free part of her day. She gets stimulation from interacting and socializing with the other mothers.

10. What were the most important aspects of the whole experience? What made it exciting or challenging? She said there were no challenges except for possibly trying to bring a double stroller in since there is not enough space for it. She might bring it in if there was more room. She finds the programs to be exciting. She likes getting away in that someone else is responsible for planning that time with her children and providing the energy that goes into planning an engaging time spent with her children. She finds the Early Literacy Programs valuable and said that she finds it exciting to have that opportunity to socialize with other mothers. She likes engaging with like-minded people and has built significant friendships with the other mothers. She would also like to have a space where mothers could nurse and connect with other mothers. She would like the opportunity to stay in the room after the program and thought that instead of having two back to back programs the library might want to consider a morning and afternoon program so that mothers could stay in a safe space with their children and connect with each other while the children played and socialized with each other. When asked how long she would like to be able to stay after a program finished, she said no more than an hour. She acknowledged that an afternoon program might be difficult because of nap time.

11. What are the most beneficial resources, services or programs offered by the library? She finds all of the programs beneficial. She and her children generally only attend the BIB program. She has read the program flyer and has seen other cool programs. She highlighted the GED programs as beneficial for others coming to the library. She said the library has a lot of valuable programs and stuff going on.

12. What are the top three reasons you come to the library? She comes to the library to get out of the house, to give her children, and opportunity for socialization and to socialize with other mothers.

13. What is your favorite place in the library? Why? The meeting room is her favorite place because she attends programs there with her children and it is a worry free zone. There is nothing in the meeting room for her children to get into.

Program Document Annapolis Library Directed Storytelling 44

14. What is your least favorite space in this library? Why? What could be done in the new library to improve it? She would like a waiting area without books that might get damaged when her child pulls them off the shelf.

15. How do you like to feel when you are visiting the library? What do you think can be done with the library space to help you feel that way? She likes to feel free. She does not have a great deal of responsibility during the program time. She likes the idea of having a space for mothers to connect, socialize and be able to sit and relax. She wants a space carved out for meet-ups with other mothers where their babies can play. She did not like the idea of having a television in this area. She would like anything in the room that would enhance mothers being able to socialize like a vending area. She could also see having a space where mothers could study, that would have a play space for children.

Observation: All three customers use the library for one thing! They all use the library in a different way.

Annapolis Library Staff Workroom Staff Preferences 12/10/12

Brainstorming: What should our staff workroom look like?

Quiet multi-purpose room

 Windows with light controlling blinds  Room used for coaching, planning sessions, interviewing, meeting with area supervisors, team meetings,  We won’t have to compete with the public for the branch meeting room.  With computer, video hookup, smartboard, telephone.  Not a storage room!  Should include a table and comfortable seating for at least 8 people.  Small sink and cabinet.

Private Small Conference Room

 Seats 4 people  For counting money, one-on-one conferences, working on projects that require concentration, and confidential phone calls for staff without a private space.  Should include an “L” shaped counter top with drawers, shelves, calculator, stapler, tack board to post money handling policies, calendar, procedures etc.  Also should have a phone and a computer.

Delivery Area

 The arrival of delivery causes a big commotion and disruption to the work day, so this area needs to be separate from the work area.  The back door opening and closing lets in cold air during the winter.  Possibly look to CRO and MDC for examples.  Should include cart storage (both empty and full carts)  At least 3 computer workstations of adjustable height with receipt printers to process delivery. We are starting a new delivery process in a couple of months because of the new receipt printers. We feel we can be better able to comment on this after we get used to the new process. We may decide that the processing should be done in the circ work area.  Space to sort materials going to other branches  Space to sort ILL materials coming and going.  Space for pages to thunk and sort materials to be shelved  Our custodian says the delivery area should have a portico over the exterior entrance so that the drivers can load/unload out of the weather and the materials don’t get wet. He says the drivers like our branch the best because of the portico.  Reasons to separate delivery from work area: Noise, Disruption, Air exchange

Workspace for Circulation Assistants

 All circ staff need their own computer and scanner.  Circ staff need their own ergonomic desks/workstations with computers and laser scanners at their desks to do scheduling, supply ordering, magazine processing, digital sign maintenance, mixed up media processing, missing item list/long in transit list, checking email, reviewing Eliza, individual webinars.  Do not want impersonal pods or cube farm to keep cohesiveness.  Position circulation workroom behind circulation desk.  Flexible height desks for processing books.  Volunteer’s workspace should include a computer with a laser scanner.  Storage for office supplies, stickers, media cases, security targets, pamphlets and handouts for the public, library card applications, library cards, Welcome Packet materials, income tax forms, SRC T-shirts.  Two file cabinets, shelves, and drawers  Space for donations if that task is not discontinued Program Document Annapolis Library Staff Workroom Preferences 57

 Space for the disc cleaner  Safe that is raised of the floor at table height for better accessibility. Hard for some staff to get down on the floor to open it.  Natural lighting  We are starting a new delivery process in a couple of months because of the new receipt printers. We feel we can be better able to comment on where we will process delivery after we get used to the new process. We may decide that the processing should be done in the circ work area rather than the delivery area.

Workspace for Library Associates and Librarians:

 Area for accucut and paper cutter  Ergonomic workstations/desks  Computer for each person at their workstation so staff can easily do AskUsNow Chat Reference, prepare for programs, evaluations, scheduling, emailing, reviewing Eliza updates, policy updates, viewing individual webinars.  Workstations need to have file drawers that lock for confidential files  Would like individual workstations/desks to be arranged in a circle-around the perimeter facing the walls can focus with your back to the group, then also can turn and see other staff  Do not want impersonal pods or cube farm to keep cohesiveness.  Would like managers offices to be not to too far away on other side of the building  Some work stations that are more secluded for someone who needs quiet space to focus.  Storage: large closet with “California Closets” type of set up with different level shelves, hangers, hooks, and drawers to store puppets, construction paper, flannel boards, craft supplies, program props, storytime books, music CDs, collection of professional books, STEM materials, Bins of Legos, Southern Area Game Kits, Wiis, Babies In Bloom Kits, large cardboard cutouts used for special programs (like the cardboard castle), easels, café boards, boom box, books to give away during outreach, SRC prizes saved for outreach and for use during SRC, poster board, 50 board games as part of game collection, space to store extra Early Literacy toys so we can swap them on and off the floor. Overall, storage should be easy to access, without boxes/bins stacked up high and hard to move. Programming supplies should all be consolidated into one area  Electrical outlet access everywhere  Direct access from Library Associate/Librarian I work area to the programming room.  Natural lighting  Not a “hallway” location where people constantly pass through and disturb staff at work  Large flat table for spreading out projects  Tall counter to work on projects, counter could adjust in height

Workspace for Custodian

 Desk with computer to review email, check Eliza and order supplies. Sometimes there is no computer available when he needs one.  2 custodial closets, one in the workroom and one in the public area  Custodial closets should each have a tall utility sink and a floor sink  lots of shelving for storing supplies

Communal Workspace:

 Spot for copier fax, stapler, copier paper, storage cabinet nearby, paper cutter  Closet for security camera equipment and branch server  Storage for system signage and pamphlet/signage holders and easels  Office supply closet  Circ staff and Info staff areas need to overlap in the communal area because they do work collaboratively.  Flexible area that can be modified as needs changed  Furniture that moves and can be changed more easier  Workspaces ergonomic and adjustable  Would be nice to have outdoor space for staff  Windows with blinds or shades that adjust to control light  No skylights  Separate, locking storage for valuable electronic equipment such as 3D printer, projectors, laptops, ipads,  Space for carts of books ready to be weeded or processed in other ways  Custodial closet  Lockers to secure personal belongings Program Document Annapolis Library Staff Workroom Preferences 58

 Communication Space for staff messages like at Silver Spring’s Library, wipe off boards, bulletin boards for legal info that needs to be posted  Staff bathrooms with stalls so that more than one person can use them at a time. We sometimes get a line at the bathrooms during service desk shift changes.  Place for nursing women to pump

 Three Area Librarians o All three will share an office with a door that closes. o Locate office near the Library Associate/Librarian work area. o Each Area Librarian needs an ergonomic desk, adjustable chair, computer and a phone and a 4 drawer file cabinet that locks o Bookshelves along the walls o room by each desk for a cart of books o Windows to provide natural light with blinds, plus a window or glass wall to the communal area also with blinds o Round table with four chairs around it for meetings and collaborative work o Bulletin boards/tackable wall areas for each desk.  Senior Circulation Supervisor o An office with a door that closes near the circ work area o ergonomic desk with computer and phone o Table and 4 chairs to meet with small groups. o small file cabinet (2 drawer) that locks o Shelves for storage o Window to provide natural light, plus a window into the communal work area with blinds on both windows o Bulletin boards or tackable walls Program Document Annapolis Library All About Your Space Worksheet 59

From: "Harberts, Gloria D" Date: February 26, 2016 at 8:46:07 PM EST To: Jeremy Kline Cc: "Caswell, Cameron" Subject: Re: Annapolis: Inter-Library Loan

Hi Jeremy-

I am sorry I missed your message from earlier today. I was in meetings this morning, and had an appointment that took up the rest of the afternoon.

ProgramCameron Document CaswellAnnapolis overseesLibrary the operation of this service, so she can provide you with ILLthe Workspaces most specific 60 information. Cameron can check with the two ILL Specialists to see what would be optimal for their space needs.

Here are some general details about the existing space: 1) My best guesstimate of the size is 120-150 square feet. We can ask Bill Stieren, Custodian, to measure the existing space. 2) There are two ILL Specialists that work in this space now, and we anticipate this to be the case moving forward in the new branch. Previously, we had three ILL Specialists working in this service plus one Supervisor who works in another office area. 3) Each ILL Specialist needs a telephone, a computer and large screen monitor ( Cameron can get you the specs on the size- which is critical for this operation), a shared printer (Cameron can fill you in on the size and capacity needed), and each desk has a scanner. Attention is needed for a wire management system, not currently in place. 4) There are two desks, one for each Specialist. The desk size is a little deeper than a standard desk because the staff working in this area need a fair among of space to process the materials flowing through. I heard that the desks that they are using in the Technical Services area temporarily while the branch is closed, are not really ideal for the,. Cameron can fill you in on this aspect. 5) They need to have a certain number of carts in their area, and space to move them around. I know that currently, each Specialist needs one cart which is located next to their desk as they are processing items. 6) They need space to house the various size envelopes they use to ship items to other branches and to other library systems. Currently, we store the envelopes in those sections where the grey colored delivery bins are also located.NOTE: I will be talking with Cameron about possibly switching to various canvas style bags instead of using the paper- padded settle envelopes. Regardless of the material, we will need spec to store the bags / envelopes. 7) The operation needs to be located next to the delivery area to facilitate easy and efficient placement of materials into the bins to be shipped out to other locations. 8) Currently, there is a counter located in the workspace, which is needed to place bins on top of it, with the ability to be able to open the bin lids. Above the counter are some slots to store a supply of the envelopes previously mentioned above. Below the counter and drawers is a space for a few (4, I think), grey bins. Again, we need the ability top open the bins, so the height is a detail we will need to provide to you. ( Cameron can get this info from Bill). 9) The counter also has a few oversized drawers located just below the countertop to store Inter- Office envelopes that they use regularly. Program Document Annapolis Library ILL Workspaces 61

10) Lighting! Please check with Cameron about any suggestions the ILL Specialist have regarding lighting needs. Currently, they have a fluorescent lighting in the ceiling. There have been some comments about this over the years, so I would like to ask the staff to comment on this aspect in particular. Maybe adding some task lighting would work? Just a thought! The space is also currently located near one of the skylights in the workroom, and the staff member who is impacted by the glare has commented on this issue many times. 11) Each staff member also currently has a custom ca I et about 4 feet high with drawers on two sides going down. It was designed specifically for use with this service because of specific cards that were used with the operation. The cabinets were built in 2002, and our technology needs have evolved significantly since then. Cameron can touch base with the staff to see if this space is still needed. 12) There is another table located next to one of the work stations to accommodate a medical need of one of the staff. The table is a lower height than the counter, and is easier for the staff member to complete her work without causing pain she had experienced when reaching bins off the counter. 13) With the computers, printers, and scanners, we will need electrical and data outlets. It would be nice for an outlet to also be easily accessible for the Custodian to use for vacuuming the work area. The Custodian needs several access points for vacuuming. 14) These staff members regularly use the copy/fax/scanner. The machine needs to be located in the staff work room for all staff to access. This is the centralized machine for all staff. ILL has their own separate printer as well, mentioned above. 15) the drivers who currently bring in bins on a commercial grade hand truck. The opening needs to be wider than the existing space, as it is way too tight to maneuver around. 16) Both ILL Specialists have a bulletin board located above their desks which they are still using. 17) Electrical outlet also needed at each station to charge cell phones, power personal fan, and or a radio. 18) Security needs: These two staff members have an earlier work schedule than the rest of the staff, minus the Custodian. They arrive at 7:30 a.m., which is a full hour before the rest of the public service staff arrive for work. So there needs to be a service bell at the staff entrance which can be heard in the ILL area. I had a security mirror dome placed on the wall opposite of this workspace so that these two staffers could see who is coming around the corner at the staff entrance. One thing that is not in place currently, which might be a nice enhancement, is a security monitor so they can see who is in the parking lot area and those approaching the staff entrance.

Jeremy, Cameron and I are happy to talk with you if you need further information or need clarification. As the ILL Supervisor, Cameron might also have some additional space needs for herself that she can relay to you as well.

Cameron: Please check with the ILL Specialists to see if there is a need to have a wipe off board space in their work area please. If they do have a need, perhaps we could use the specialty paint that we saw at the new Silver Spring Library on Montgomery County. Just a thought.

Since I am working at several locations while ANN is temporarily closed, I am happy to share my cell phone number with you. ( 443-534-9974).

We look forward to answering any questions you may have regarding the ILL operation.

Hope you and your family have a relaxing weekend!

Annapolis Library Project – Meeting Rooms

Configuration

Meeting Rooms 1 and 2

In planning meeting room space for the new Annapolis Library, I spoke with the children, teen, and adult programming staff. Everyone agreed that a meeting space significantly larger than the current space was necessary. Anne Arundel County residents have been turned away because of fire code requirements (current capacity is 101) in our meeting room for events similar to those listed:

1. Summer Reading Club 2. Babies in Bloom 3. Storytime specials 4. Funding Information Network (available only at the Annapolis Library) 5. Black History Month events 6. Author events 7. Concerts 8. Movies 9. Outside organizations that use our meeting rooms for speaking engagements (ex: Annapolis Economic Club guest speaker) 10. Town Hall Meetings

The current meeting room size does not accommodate some of the library system’s administrative meetings, larger staff development trainings, or other library organization trainings such as those held by the Maryland Library Association.

This meeting room model is based on two large conjoining rooms (one roughly twice the size of the other) which can be opened to allow for an even larger combined gathering. We feel that although we could easily fill three large meeting rooms, this two room setup saves space and money, since there is only one divider, and one fewer sink/kitchenette, smart board, smart projector system, etc. needed.

Both the large meeting rooms should be equipped with the following items:

1. Sink/kitchenette 2. Smart board 3. Smart projector (built-in) 4. Built in sound system for performances and programs 5. Wi-Fi 6. Soundproof room divider with white board paneling on the divider itself 7. Stackable chairs and folding tables 8. One public PC with data outlet and access to the public printer 9. Programming closet (extra-large closet in the larger room) 10. Digital security surveillance 11. Coat rack 12. Cubbies for diaper bags, etc. 13. Blackout screens for any windows (to facilitate movies, presentations, and other events) 14. Material on walls to facilitate hanging decorations, displays, etc. (display fabric) 15. Telephone 16. Podium 17. Customer online booking option, and online fee payment for for-profit groups

Program Document Annapolis Library Proposed Meeting Room / Programs 79

Meeting Room 3

Staff all agreed that one medium sized meeting room was needed. For security reasons, this room should have glass walls which would be visible from the public area. This room needs soundproofing for confidentiality and to minimize disruption in the common areas.

This meeting room should be equipped with the following items:

1. Conference table with 25 chairs 2. Smart board 3. Smart projector (built-in) 4. Built in sound system for performances and programs 5. Wi-Fi 6. One public PC with data outlet and access to the public printer 7. White board 8. Material on walls to facilitate hanging decorations, displays, etc. (display fabric) 9. Telephone 10. Customer online booking option, and online fee payment for for-profit groups

Meeting Rooms 4-7

Staff all agreed that at least four small study spaces were desperately needed. For security reasons, these rooms should have glass walls which would be visible from the public area. These rooms need to be soundproofing for confidentiality and to minimize disruption in the common areas.

These meeting rooms should be equipped with the following items:

1. Table with four chairs 2. Wi-Fi 3. One public PC with data outlet and access to the public printer 4. White board 5. Material on walls to facilitate hanging decorations, displays, etc. (display fabric) 6. Three of these rooms should have a customer online booking option, and online fee payment for for-profit groups. The remaining study room will be available to walk-in customers, as we often have many of these as well.

Program Document Annapolis Library Proposed Meeting Room / Programs 80

Filling the Space

With very little time to prepare, this is a cursory example of how meeting rooms in the new Annapolis Library would be used. Demo calendars have been filled by using existing library programs, and confirmed meeting room bookings.

Meeting room #1

Filled with existing library programs. Several regular programs were expanded so that they repeated each week. Programmers note that this builds a following and attracts bigger numbers of participants.

Meeting room #2

Filled with existing paid meeting room bookings (red), existing community groups, and community groups that have been turned away.

Meeting room #3

Annapolis has never had a medium sized meeting room space, so this calendar was filled with existing community groups that could have used a smaller room had that been available, and groups we anticipate desiring such a room. This room also shows potential usage by businesses and County/City departments and organizations.

Meeting room #4 - #7

Our Annapolis customers are desperate for quiet study space, and are disappointed when it is not available in our existing building.

Community Needs

Many of these groups use our Annapolis library meeting room because it is centrally located in AACo, and they would book more frequently if space were available. New groups are turned away routinely after the initial meeting room bookings on the first Monday in October of each year. Most of the groups turned away want recurring monthly or bi- monthly meetings.

Builders/Developers are required to hold public meetings for their new projects, however when they call we often have to turn them away for lack of space. Our meeting spaces are also extremely popular with local Home Owners Associations, and we could currently fill our evening time-slots with these groups alone.

The additional meeting room capacity will allow us to serve many more of these groups, but because of building square- footage constraints, we realize that we will never satisfy the needs of the community. The library remains the only free meeting room space in the community, and we often hear from customers that they are not able to find space anywhere else. For 2015, we had 103 separate meeting room groups using our space (95 nonprofit; 8 for-profit), and we anticipate this number to greatly increase with the opening of the new Annapolis Library.

Program Document Annapolis Library Proposed Meeting Room / Programs 82

Annapolis Library Project: Meeting Room – Group Descriptions Meeting Room 1:

Largest capacity; Open to library programs and, when available, public bookings (indicated in green; community partnerships in purple)

Toddler Storytime: Children ages 18 to 36 months (with caring adult) enjoy a variety of developmentally-appropriate stories, songs, rhymes and movement activities while building early literacy skills. Early literacy skills give young children the foundation that they need before they learn to read, and prepares them with the knowledge to fully master the complex set of understandings, attitudes, expectations and behaviors, as well as specific skills, related to written language. (40-80 people)

Preschool Storytime: Children ages three to five (with caring adult) build the early literacy skills needed for school readiness. (40-80)

Drop-in Craft: Using different craft materials, elementary children make art projects. A regular space and time will help bring in more kids. (30 people)

Corvette Club: Guest speakers and group discussions about Corvette cars. ( 65-100 people)

Book Buddies: A special book club for elementary school students with discussions, games, and crafts. Although this can have a relatively small audience, it needs a larger space to meet. This program packs a lot in an hour, with no time for transitions—it requires a circle of chairs for the book discussions, a large area for the game, and tables and chairs set up for the craft. These extras are selling points for getting children interested in reading and discussing books. (10-30 people)

Annapolis Economic Club: Guest speakers and group discussions of economic issues. ( 65-150 people)

Preschool Special: This is a special event aimed at children in preschool or younger. These programs often incorporate books, songs, and fun activities. They can be over the top and invoke a sense of wonder. They take a lot of space, involving multiple activities and props within a program. They will use both large meeting rooms and possibly other indoor or outdoor library space. (50-150 people)

Funding Information Network Program: Training teaching customers grant proposal writing and budgeting; fundraising planning and how to find funders; what it takes to become a nonprofit organization; or how to network with others in the community. Events can also bring in panels of funders, or outside presenters. Annapolis staff have trained to be able to offer these events and facilitate grant searches for customers at the library. We are the only library in the county that offers these events and services. These presentations often require extra space to accommodate presenters, etc. (30-60 people)

Program Document Annapolis Library Proposed Meeting Room / Programs 83

Teen Book Club: Middle school book club. We have a dedicated following for our elementary age and adult book clubs, however currently we don’t have anything for our customers as they grow into tweens. Since this is the age that many people may disconnect from the library, we hope to be able to program more to this age group and keep them more engaged with reading and the library. (10 people)

Baby Storytime: Babies from birth to 18 month (with caring adult) enjoy songs, action rhymes and playtime while building early literacy skills. A great way to get to know other families in your community! (50-70 people for 9:30am, same for 10:30am) Note: Customers have commented that they like the theater in the round set-up for this program, and drive further to attend Annapolis Library’s event because of this. Seating the families in a large circle like this takes extra space. Moms have also commented that they would like cubbies for diaper bags, and that they appreciate that the room is open and simple so that there’s not a lot that their kids can get into. Because of the young audience, some caretakers bring their babies in strollers.

Arduino: “Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for anyone making interactive projects. Arduino boards are able to read inputs - light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message - and turn it into an output - activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online. You can tell your board what to do by sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the board” (https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Introduction). Students attending this program will have hands-on learning with computer programming and robotics. We recently got this technology and haven’t held a program yet. (25 people)

Bilingual Storytime: Families or caregivers with young children will enjoy a variety of stories, songs, rhymes, and movement activities, presented in both Enlish and Spanish, while building early literacy skills. There is a Hispanic community in Annapolis; however due to cultural differences they may not be as aware of, or as willing to take advantage of, public library resources. This program builds important early literacy skills, but it also invites this community into the library. We often see Hispanic families who are first introduced to the library in this way coming back to use the library in different ways. (50 people)

Manga/Anime Club: Middle or high school students can hang out, talk about the Manga (Japanese graphic novels) or Anime (Japanese cartoons) that they like, and/or draw in the Manga style. This is a popular teen program at other libraries in the county and helps to bring in this age group and help them feel invested in the library. (10 people)

Mystery Bingo: Families are invited to play a themed game of BINGO. We have had holiday Bingos, lucky charms bingo, birthday bingo, etc. (30-50 people)

Drop-in STEM (Elementary): STEM can incorporate elements of science, technology, engineering, and/or math. There is a recent initiative in the library system and nation-wide to get kids thinking about these ideas earlier. Often, students may not really begin to interact with STEM in a fun and interesting way until high school, when their interests and career aspirations are already somewhat fixed. Engaging with younger children and getting them excited about STEM activities will open up a further range of possibilities for them. Drop-ins will have materials that children can work or experiement with to try out different scientific phenomenons. Since attendees will need room to create and experiment, we will need extra tables and space for this event. (30-50 people)

Program Document Annapolis Library Proposed Meeting Room / Programs 84

FUNology: This will incorporate many of the same ideas as Drop-in STEM, but may be a more involved and structured program.
