The accolades come from the Urban Libraries Council (ULC), which represents 150 North American libraries, and the California State Association of Counties (CSAC). The ULC award, which was announced Thursday, October 17 during the organization’s 2019 Innovations Celebration in Salt Lake City, is for “Lending Mindfulness: A Mental Health App Pilot”. SCCLD was selected from among 260 submissions as the winner in the Wellness, Safety & Sustainability category for show casing out-of-the-box thinking and creative applications of library resources. Award winners were recognized for their level of creativity, ability for other libraries to adapt their work and the outcomes achieved. We are the first public library in the nation to offer the mindfulness app, Headspace, to patrons for daily meditation. The president of ULC plans to personally present an award proclamation to SCCLD’s Joint Powers Authority at its meeting of January 23, 2020. The second recognition is from the California State Association of Counties for Rise Up, a partnership between the Gilroy Library and various County agencies, including the District Attorney’s office and the Department of Child and Family Services . SCCLD was selected as the urban library winner for the Challenge Award in Administration of Justice & Public Safety. Working closely with the South County Youth Task Force and County partner agencies, Rise Up was created as a multi-pronged intervention program designed to educate and support at-risk youth and their families to improve their lives and outcomes. CSAC will present their award in person at the Board of Supervisors Meeting on December 9. 10.A Packet Pg. 8 Communication: Report from Nancy Howe, County Librarian (LIBRARY REPORTS) Serving the unincorporated areas of Santa Clara County and the cities of Campbell | Cupertino | Gilroy | Los Altos | Los Altos Hills | Milpitas | Monte Sereno | Morgan Hill | Saratoga Holiday Food Drive The holidays are nearly upon us, a time for family, friends and giving thanks.
