In addition to recruiting, interviewing, and onboarding, Library Services Manager Samantha Alba has been spending most of her day training Aides and other staff from other sections of the Library, including Administration, because of the staff shortages in Account Services. There is much detail involved in working the front desk, from processing the daily hold requests to processing new library card applications, to updating expired library cards, to resolving overdue or lost items with patrons and even renewing items or placing new items on hold. Staff met with Public Works to discuss the Building Forward grant for the Family restroom and two resolutions will be moving forward in February to City Council, one to accept the grant and the other to ask for additional appropriations. If approved, it would be a design-build project over three years and would also replace the almost 30-year-old boys’ and girls’ restrooms. Staff looked over the budget as part of the mid-year budget review for the Library and Museum. There is some salary savings from the vacancies, but this may be offset with more expensive and unforeseen building repair work for the cooling tower that needed cleaning and baffles replaced: this will help keep the building cool during next summer as we await a new chiller which is on backorder. Staff has begun meeting with other city departments, most notably the City’s IT and Public Works division for budget needs in the upcoming years. The updated mission statement has now been updated on the wall near the public computers. Adult & Teen Services celebrated the Arcadia community and Chinese New Year with a Chinese New Year tack wall display and recommended books by Chinese and Chinese American authors, and Chinese New Year readers’ advisory social media posts. A Chinese calligraphy workshop was taught in mid-January by Ms. Si Ning, Doctor of Literature, and was greatly appreciated by patrons who wanted to learn or practice their calligraphy before the New Year. Children’s Services staff hosted a Lunar New Year Craft Market in which 37 participants received paper money to purchase and make an assortment of Lunar New Year themed crafts. January Activity Visitors: 22,332 Holds Processed: 1,900 Physical Items Checked Out: 36,706 eBooks/Audiobooks/Magazines Downloaded: 4,099 Programs/Attendance: 35/974 Passports Issued: 94 2 Adult Programs, Classes, Technology Literacy, and Events: Bookish restarted in January. Participants read The Exiles, by Christina Baker Kline, and enjoyed a lively discussion. Smart Squad continues to support the library’s digital literacy goals through computer help. Patrons watched and discussed The Worst Person in the World, a Norwegian film, at The Movies You Missed on January 18. Adult Services staff filmed a microlesson sharing information on how to use Zelle, a digital payment system. Viewers learned how to connect their bank to Zelle and safely share money and connect with contacts. Teen Programing: The Teen Librarian attended the High School PTA meeting on January 12th. For January, self-love month, 54 teens attended a Love MySelfie event, in which they decorated an extra special photo card and shared feel-good messages with other Arcadia High School students during Teen Zone. There were nine Teen Zone sessions with 273 participants in January. The Teen Advisory Group met to help plan the Love MySelfie event and they also discussed incorporating updated social media content. Children’s Programming and Services: To encourage increased participation in weekly story time programs, program registration is no longer required. Families were pleased to learn of the change and there has been a gradual increase in overall attendance throughout the month. Children’s Services staff partnered with Arcadia High School student group, Button, to host two Homework Help sessions, offering students in first to fifth grades assistance with specific math-related homework problems. This is a pilot program that will run on recurring Wednesday afternoons through March 29, 2023. Beginning November 2022, patrons were invited to fold paper stars and contribute them to the Wish Upon a Star Community Project display in the Children’s Room. The project surpassed its goal, collecting and displaying 2,071 stars by January 31. Eighth grade student, Katelyn Liu, hosted two Wow! That’s STEM programs for third to eighth grade students. In one program, Ms. Liu led a slide show presentation about chemistry and hydraulics and showed the 18 attendees how to make their own hydraulic machines using sticks, piping, and water. For the second program, the 21 attendees learned about the heart and how it works, then used glass jars, balloon pieces, straws, and water to construct a pumping heart. Twenty-seven middle school students took part in the Great Game Day Unplugged program which offered board and card games for kids to play. A parent of an attending child expressed gratitude for the Library providing a program that provided screen-free opportunities for middle schoolers to engage with one another. Staff also hosted a Middle School Advisory Group meeting which invited students to share what kinds of programming they would like the Library to provide. Trustee Carter attended the meeting as a volunteer. 3 Collections: Cataloging and Acquisitions staff continued working on a project to catalog the bound magazines in Adult Reference and the basement as part of the RFID process. The Authority Database projects continue. This is part of the routine work to keep our databases/catalog up-to-date, consistent, and error-free. MARC records from Kanopy, CreativeBug, Press Reader, and Linkedin added to and discarded from our Library Catalog this month totaled 43,946 records. More items have been discarded this month because of the yearly weeding of the Magazine sections. Fewer items have been cataloged than usual because Cataloging and Acquisitions Librarian I/II cataloging position is currently vacant and the Principal Librarian is cataloging along with other administrative duties; this will continue for the next one to two months until the department is fully staffed again. Shelving Management Aides shelved an average of 230 items per shift, despite being understaffed. They also continued to work on tagging the Children’s collection, packed shelves and smaller books have made the process take a bit longer. Customer Services: Passport Services is currently short one agent, so there were fewer passports processed in January. Even so, over 283 phone and 51 in-person inquiries were answered. Information Systems Services answered more than 306 computer/technical questions from patrons; and assisted the public with 866 public computer sessions, print jobs, public copiers, and the public Wi-Fi network. They also printed ten 3D models and continued to check library department web pages by adding new content and fixing broken links. Account Services processed 1,900 holds, checked out 36,706 items, and checked in 24,406 items. They answered 101 reference questions and fielded 326 general questions. Facilities and Technology: The installation of the new study carrells in the Teen and Adult areas is now complete, including the accompanying new chairs. This new furniture provides patrons a place to also power up or charge their electronic devices. The router has been installed for the connection from 1gbps to 10gbps for the public internet; the next step is to purchase a switch. Adult and Teen Services has continued with the encoding project: In January, the yearbooks, reference desk, and City collections were encoded. Staff is currently working on encoding the items in the Basement and History Room: The City Council meeting minutes, vital statistics, and annual budgets have been completed. ISS staff continues to work with the RFID vendor, FE Technologies, to finalize setup for the book chute and credit card readers: staff is waiting for the book chute templates and signage to make it go live. A new sign, in three languages, has been ordered for the Smart Chute and will be placed next to it to instruct patrons on how to use it. A technician will also install the new credit card readers on two self-checkout machines. There were 5,002 visits to the Library Catalog, local web documents and online databases, as well as 2,668 unique visitors and 6,467 visits to the Library home page. There were 3,419 unique public Wi-Fi users, and a total of 2.9TB of data downloaded and uploaded during this month. Staffing/Training: In addition to the ongoing recruitments and training mentioned above, Children’s Services Library Technician I, Linda Dang, cross-trained in Account Services to learn processes and procedures for assisting patrons at the service desk. Account Services has made seven conditional offers to fill the seven Aide vacancies. Account services also welcomed two full- time Technicians: Ashlin Mushinskie, whose first day was Tuesday January 17, and Aide Mariella 4 Fajardo, who was promoted to full-time Technician and whose first day was Tuesday, January 31. An open recruitment for the Account Services Supervisor opened this month and interviews will take place the second week of February. Children’s Librarian II, Michele Krueper, continued to work five hours per week in Cataloging and Acquisitions to assist with cataloguing children’s materials. Adult Services staff attended a webinar on “The Best Things in Life Are Free.” Community Outreach/Collaboration/Volunteers: 114 kindergarten students from Holly Avenue Elementary School visited the Library for story times. Adult Services staff attended meetings of City social media moderators, Arcadia High School PTSA, the Arcadia Historical Society, and the Southern California Digital Library. Children’s staff met with Linda Colley regarding a possible partnership with Civitan and attended a meeting of the Building Equity Based Summers Facilitation Meeting. Administration staff attended the social media moderators’ meeting, the Gilb Museum Commission meeting, and the Woman’s Club and Coordinating Council luncheons. Transition Partnership Program (TPP) and Workability volunteers worked 26 hours for Account Services in January. Marketing and Publicity: Four student volunteers from Arcadia High School installed a hand drawn and painted Alice in Wonderland themed bulletin display in the Children’s Room. The bulletin board celebrates the creative and artistic talents of high school students within the community. The Library’s eBook and eAudio collections were highlighted with a Book on the Go display in the Library’s New Book area. Staff designed faux iPads and affixed a book cover to them, highlighting the library’s electronic collection. Adult and Teen Services created the following displays in January: New hobbies for the New Year; New Year, New You; New Year, New Me(ow); New Year, New Manga; and Book to Movie. The Children’s Early Literacy Computer Wall featured “Holly Avenue Elementary School Dolphins Are Thankful For…” The Information Bulletin board showed how to “Find Your Next Great Read,” while the Children’s Information Desk showed how “Reading Is Snow Much Fun.” The library’s social media presence continues to be robust: Facebook has 1,562 followers, Twitter has 612, Instagram has 1,354 followers, while the YouTube channel has 190.

FEATURED HISTORICAL PHOTO African-American workers on the Baldwin Ranch In honor of Black History Month, we are pleased to feature this photo taken by TABER Studio, c. 1897, which shows thirty‐one of Elias J. “Lucky” Baldwin's African‐American employees. They were hired from the south in 1886 to come work on the Baldwin Ranch. There seems to be only one man in photo. All others are women and children. They are standing next to a building with a long porch and the San Gabriel Mountains can be seen in background. If you are interested in Arcadia’s rich history, make an appointment to see the Arcadia History Room located at the Arcadia Public Library or visit the Gilb Museum of Arcadia Heritage. The Arcadia History Room is shown by appointment only. Call 626‐821‐5569 for more information on the Library’s collection or 626‐574‐5440 for more information about the Museum’s collection.

ID 1159 (Feb‐Mar23) LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES REGULAR MEETING MINUTES THURSDAY, JANUARY 19, 2023 CALL TO ORDER – Chair Miriam Carter called the meeting to order at 4:30 p.m., in the Conference Room of the Library. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE – Trustee Liao ROLL CALL: Chair Miriam Carter; Trustees Connie Liao, Elizabeth Renfrew, Alice Wang; Councilmember Eileen Wang (City Council Liaison); Director of Library & Museum Services Darlene Bradley (Secretary); Library Services Manager Pat Smith ABSENT – Trustee Seaver MOTION TO EXCUSE – Trustee Renfrew moved to excuse Trustee Seaver from today’s Library Board of Trustees’ meeting so he could be with his family for the birth of a grandchild. Trustee Wang seconded the motion, which passed on a voice vote. AYES: Chair Carter, Trustees Liao, Renfrew, Wang NOES: None ABSENT: Trustee Seaver PUBLIC COMMENTS – None REPORTS FROM LIBRARY TRUSTEES / LIAISONS: Chair Carter welcomed Councilmember Wang to the Library Board meeting. Councilmember Wang thanked everyone for their service and expressed her appreciation for the library. She discussed upcoming Chinese New Year events at the City’s Recreation Center and an event sponsored by San Gabriel Valley Chamber of Commerce. Chair Carter recounted her visit to a book sale at the Newport Beach Public Library. She shared her concerns about recent attempts to ban books from school libraries. Trustee Renfrew explained her role as liaison to the Friends of the Library and promoted the upcoming book sale. She discussed the upcoming classical guitar concert scheduled for April 12, 2023 and a paint night event. Bookstore staff will be meeting on Saturday. Trustee Liao updated the Board on ACA events. REPORTS FROM THE DIRECTOR Announcements / Statements / Future Agenda Items Director’s Update: Director Bradley thanked the Board for their annual gift of cookies during the holiday season and wished everyone a happy New Year. Monthly Statistical Report: November 2022, December 2022: The gate count for December is inaccurate: in preparation for new RFID gates, the security gates were removed early in the month, so no count was available. The Director reported that circulation continues to increase, although the statistics for December are also a bit off because the self-check stations were unavailable due to the RFID installation. There has been a change in how the monthly total is tallied: in-house use is no longer included as a large weeding project has been under way and skewing this number. The monthly count should be more accurate now. The new credit-card machines have arrived and are waiting installation by an outside vendor. Cataloging and Acquisitions’ numbers are low this month because they are one staff member short: the vacancy should be filled by March. Gifts and Grants’ numbers are higher because of the Friends of the Library’s gift of $30,000, which supports Summer Reading and other programs. Monthly Report Narrative: November/December 2022: The Director reviewed such events as the Teen Destress Fest, the Downtown Arcadia Holiday festival, and the Winter Reading Challenge. Financial Report: December 2022: Administration staff is currently preparing the mid-year budget review: so far, the Library’s spending is on target. The Director noted that 40-50% of the budget should be spent by this point. There are salary savings due to the number of unfilled positions. RFID Update: The project is not fully completed. Although tagging and encoding of the circulating collection is done, there are still some non-circulating items that still need to be completed. Everything remaining should be finished by March 1. Staff is currently waiting on more equipment, including the Children’s kiosk and the signage for the Smart Chute. Staff Update: There are currently 12 vacant positions. There are on-going recruitments for aides, library technicians, an Account Services supervisor, a Librarian I, and, later in the spring, passport clerks. The Librarian I position opens on February 1, with outside interviews on February 21. Staff are stepping up to help at all levels of the organization. Policy Manual Updates: Imagination Theater Rental Policy: The Director reviewed the new rental policy, noting that this will be the first time the Imagination Theater will be available to the public. Children’s Services’ programming will take precedence over public rentals. Gilb Museum of Arcadia Heritage: The Director reported that the Museum is currently hosting a Red Envelope exhibit featuring community-created red envelopes for Chinese New Year, games, and artifacts. There will be a photo-preservation workshop on February 4. The Museum Education Coordinator has opted to work part-time for the immediate future. Calendar of Activities: Children’s Services: January 2023, February 2023: Director Bradley highlighted the Craft Market for Chinese New Year, and the Board discussed the Kid Created series of programs, including Homework Help and STEM/STEAM. The Middle School Advisory Group is up and running. Calendar of activities for Adult and Teen Services: January 2023: The Director promoted the Smart Squad, which features teen volunteers who help customers every Saturday with tech problems. She also mentioned Bookish and the monthly film program. Flyers/Articles/Posters/Attachments: The Board reviewed and discussed the attached flyers, including the historical photo, and the flyers for Wish upon a Star; Kid Created, Love Myselfie, Chinese Calligraphy, Bookish, and We Love the Library.
