Meeting Date:March 13, 2024
From:Adam Henig, Recreation Manager
RECOMMENDATION
Review, comment, and update goals for the Library Commission Workplan for Fiscal
Years 2024 and 2025.
BACKGROUND
On May 24, 2023, the commission adopted its workplan for the next two fiscal years (FY24
and FY25). They consist of the following:
1. Review and provide feedback to the Santa Clara County Library System
regarding library services and programs offered at the Gilroy location.
2. Participate in the annual California Library Association (CLA) or the American
Library Association (ALA) conference, which will be held on June 27 – July 2,
2024 in San Diego.
3. Promote the commission’s purpose and library system to increase interest
among prospective applicants to serve as commissioners.
4. Provide recommendations to City Administrator and the City Council regarding
potential capital improvement to the City’s library facility based on the needs
identified by the Santa Clara County Library staff and the Gilroy community, to be
funded by the remaining library bond proceeds. There is approximately $5 million
available for facility upgrades. The Library and City are identifying a
recommended list of improvements and will present it to the Commission at a
future meeting.

The following are updates to the Commission’s current work plan:
•2024 ALA Conference – Chair Baxter, who was selected by the Commission to

Silicon Valley Reads Finishing Strong
We’re at the mid-point of Silicon Valley Reads 2024, with over 40 events still to come this month at SCCLD libraries. In case you missed it, the video of our January 31 kickoff event at De Anza College is online. Pictured to the right are the featured authors who participated in the panel. March is a perfect month for SVR’s theme of A Greener
Tomorrow Starts Today, as it’s when we don green apparel on St. Patrick’s Day (17th) and mark the start of
spring (21st). Our hills are also green, providing a welcome invitation to explore our local County Parks. SCCLD offers free County Park passes to borrow at each of our libraries. All March long a diverse range of free virtual and in-person public programs suitable for all ages will be offered touching on topics around environmental sustainability. These include author talks, educational events, demonstrations, outdoor events like hikes and a clean-up, activities for students, storytimes, and more.

National Nutrition Month Health Resources
Thanks to science, we are learning more and more about
the human body, the food we consume, and how they interact. As we enter National Nutrition Month some things remain the same. Healthy living, including exercise and a good diet, are key to being physically fit.
Our collection features a number of titles about nutrition related topics. Check out some of our booklists,
like our staff picks for Health & Fitness selections. Another list from our Sports and Games group looks at how to reach peak sports performance with the help of the best available nutrition. Under Science & Technology, find nonfictional books that explain things such as why we enjoy the foods we do and why some bacteria can be helpful.
SCCLD offers a variety of digital resources through our 24/7 Online Library. Check out our Health & Wellness section, which offers useful and accurate information about topics including nutrition. There
you will find Health Library by StayWell, PlaneTree Health Library and MedlinePlus, which is produced by the National Institutes of Health. There are also a variety of on-demand online courses about a wide range of health topics, plus several reference eBooks and videos that include nutrition-related topics.
The County of Santa Clara’s Social Service Agency offers free meals for seniors over 60 and at low cost for others who qualify. The Santa Clara County Office of Education offers nutrition lesson plans
and tips for kids and their families. Those who are looking to find free groceries can find assistance from Second Harvest of Silicon Valley or by calling 211 to find a food pantry near them.

Make a Mark with Women’s History Month
This year’s theme for Women’s History Month underlines
the importance of equity, diversity and inclusion efforts in levelling the playing field in all of society’s institutions. Just a little over a century ago, women in the U.S. could not vote. Today there are more women enrolled in colleges
and universities than men, though a double digit gender wage gap at work still exists. As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” Our Children’s librarians have put together a new reading list with recent titles for kids and teens that
profile dozens of fascinating women across history and the globe who have done great and amazing things. These include a Mesopotamian poet and priestess, the first woman to reach Mount Everest’s summit, the first woman and African American to lead the Library of Congress, an actress who invented
the technique that would lead to WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS technologies, and the first Native American women to earn a medical degree. Our librarians have also compiled a selection of new titles for adults.
Our libraries have several events planned in connection with the month. Saratoga Library’s Sci-Fi and Fantasy Book Club is discussing Herland by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, about a feminist utopia, on Tuesday, March 5. Milpitas Library invites kids in grades K-8 to create a small guitar, in honor of music legend Joni Mitchell on Tuesday, March 12. Morgan Hill Library screens the film Hidden Figures, a true story about the three female black women mathematicians who were crucial to NASA’s early space mission successes, on Wednesday, March 13. Milpitas Library is offering two craft programs for children in grades K-8. Create De Stijl-style artwork inspired by artist Marlow Moss on Tuesday, March 19. Paint a Georgia O’Keefe style landscape on Tuesday, March 26. All supplies will be provided. Find
more details about these events and others on our online Event Calendar. Libraries Taking Part in Primary Election All SCCLD libraries have ballot drop-sites available 24/7 through Election Day, Tuesday, March 5 (Cupertino’s is next to their City Hall). A full list of ballot drop-off sites and in-person Voting Centers, including hours, is available on the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters’ website. Several libraries are also serving as in-person voting sites:
• Early Voting Centers: daily from 10 am – 6 pm at Cupertino, Milpitas, and Saratoga from now until Monday, March 4, and Gilroy and Morgan Hill from Saturday, March 2 to Monday, March 4.
