County Library Report for June 2021 (report attached) – County Librarian Jennifer Weeks presented the Santa Clara County Library District (SCCLD) Stakeholder Report for June 2021. Weeks reported the Summer Reading Program – Reading Colors Your World launched on June 1st. As we moved to the Yellow Tier, SCCLD has removed COVID-19 imposed occupancy limits, removed visitor time limits, extended computer use to three hours and opened reservations for small and medium meeting rooms. Weeks sees bright light at the end of the tunnel as we make our way out of the pandemic. SCCLD has modified and adapted during the last year and half and invited Commissioners to provide feedback by participating in a survey posted on their website, which is available until June 30th. Campbell Library, which is the oldest county library built, is being renovated and they have opened the Campbell Express Library while construction is underway. The Joint Powers Authority (JPA) Board meet on June 3rd and approved the budget. B. Gilroy Library Report for June 2021 (report attached) – Community Librarian Cassandra Wong reported the library and the Friends Bookstore are open, computers are available, limited seating is available and staff are reassessing service plans in anticipation of changes to come on June 15th. Circulation has increased dramatically since reopening – circulation is up 16% since last month and almost 50% since February. You can find the schedule of Summer Reading Programs at sccld.org/events. The Library has a series of virtual events for children on Wednesdays at 3pm (today’s virtual magician had 400+ registrations). The Gilroy Library continues to provide over 1,500 meals on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 4:00- 5:00pm in partnership with Revolution Foods. Outreach continues at the Ochoa Migrant Center, Power School, Gilroy Unified School District (GUSD) Summer School and the Bookmobile will visit the Gilroy Youth Center on the first Monday in July and August. Wong showed the video for summer reading. Wong went through flyers that are in the meeting packet for activities and events this summer at the Gilroy Library for youth, teens and adults. Souza shared that home-schooling participation increased dramatically during the pandemic and that it was challenging to get the books at times due to the demand. It’s unknown if home schooling will remain as popular as we come out of the pandemic. Souza suggested increasing the number of books in circulation for home school reading assignments, if possible. Souza will send Wong some contact information for the home schools. Wong thanked Souza for the community feedback and said they have a very generous e-book budget and they can get access quicker and she will have staff work with the home schools to try to get their lists ahead of time. Coverson-Baxter echoed Souza’s sentiments and said it would be great if the Library could have a home school resource section. Coverson-Baxter asked if there is any planning for Juneteenth. The Library will be closed for the holiday (first time County is honoring this holiday). Wong said there is no speaker scheduled at this time, but they will have 3.A Packet Pg. 5 Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Jun 9, 2021 7:00 PM (APPROVAL OF MINUTES) Page 3 of 3 their in-house events like story-time. Its currently Black Music Month and they have a series of displays around this. Wong will pass Coverson- Baxter’s comments to the Librarians. Reddy agreed with Coverson-Baxter and said it would love to see a speaker series or some other way to focus on Juneteenth. Robinson shared that Catholic Charities is trying to step up their services in South County. Given the breadth and depth of programming o ffered through the Library, there may be opportunities to partner with Catholic Charities and Robinson offered to pass the contact information to Wong if it makes sense to collaborate. Week and Wong welcomed the contact information and shared the SCCLD and Gilroy Library are in partnership with a lot of community-based organizations (CBOs), including Catholic Charities, and would like to develop those partnerships further when and where it makes sense to work collective to make real change happen.

She was selected in recognition of her continuous dedication and commitment to the bookmobile profession. This is a new award from the Association of Bookmobile and Outreach Services, which commemorates the 50th anniversary of Karen Hake’s service to the bookmobile profession at the Platte County Library System in Columbus, Nebraska. Amytha Willard has spent 16 years working for SCCLD, all for the Bookmobile program. Today, the Bookmobile has two vehicles that make over 100 stops a month at senior centers, schools, rural areas, and unincorporated portions of the County that are far from any library. From the top of Mount Hamilton to migrant camps in San Martin, and Family Literacy Centers to the Santa Cruz mountains, Willard and the SCCLD Bookmobile team can be found all across Santa Clara County on a weekly basis, crisscrossing over 1,000 square miles. When SCCLD launched the Lunch in the Library program at its two qualifying libraries, Amytha looked to extend the program to those communities in South County who needed it most by partnering with Second Harvest Food Bank of Silicon Valley and San Martin Lion’s Club. The team served healthy lunches to children throughout the summer months and offered fun and educational activities for kids including STEM projects, crafts and a visit by the San Francisco 49ers mascot. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Willard and her team developed and implemented BookDash, a contactless home-delivery solution to meet a need for the growing older adult community and for those who could not get to a library during the pandemic due to family illness, injury, medical condition, or disability. The SCCLD Bookmobile team delivers books right to a patron’s front door. BookDash modernized, optimized and streamlined homebound service from 5 patrons to over 60 patrons with capacity to expand the program. The award will be presented at a ceremony on Tuesday, October 12 during an online Association of Bookmobile and Outreach Services conference. Congratulations to Amytha and the Bookmobile team for winning this prestigious award!

The date was chosen because it coincides with the Independence Day celebrations of five Central American nations-Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and Nicaragua. As of 2020, Hispanic and Latino Americans make up nearly 20% of the US population, and constitute 25% of Santa Clara County’s population, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Hispanic Americans have been influential in every part of this nation's history, from the arts to politics to business to the military. People of Hispanic and Latinx heritage encompass many different countries and cultures. Santa Clara County Library District proudly presents a wide array of in person and virtual events, and  Spanish and bilingual books as well as Spanish e-book collection to enrich this month’s celebrations. We hope you will join us for any of the following events to celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month. El Mes Nacional de la Herencia Hispana se originó como la Semana Nacional de la Herencia Hispana en 1968 durante el apogeo del movimiento por los derechos civiles. Luego, en 1989, una proclamación presidencial estableció el Mes Nacional de la Herencia Hispana como un "período de 31 días que comienza el 15 de septiembre y termina el 15 de octubre" en el que la nación celebra y honra la cultura, los logros y las contribuciones de los hispanos y latinos en los Estados Unidos. La fecha fue elegida porque coincide con las celebraciones del Día de la Independencia de cinco naciones centroamericanas: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, México y Nicaragua. A partir de 2020, los hispanos y latinos estadounidenses constituyen casi un 20% parte de la población de los Estados Unidos, y constituyen el 25% de la población del condado de Santa Clara, según la Oficina del Censo de los Estados Unidos. Los hispanoamericanos han sido influyentes en cada parte de la historia de esta nación, desde las artes hasta la política, los negocios y el ejército. . 9.A.c Packet Pg. 17 Attachment: SCCLD Stakeholder Report Sep 2021 (3436 : County Library Report for July and August 2021 (report attached)) Celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month with SCCLD Tuesday, September 7 at 4 pm Kid’s Virtual Art Club: Inspired by Amate Paintings @ SCCLD Facebook Get inspired by Latin American Folk Art Paintings and paint intricate birds and colorful plants.
