<br /> <br /> LIBRARY COMMISSION <br />AGENDA REPORT <br /> <br />January 4, 2024 <br />Item 5 <br /> <br /> <br />TITLE: DISCUSS AND SELECT LIBRARY COMMISSION OUTREACH GOALS <br /> FOR 2024 <br /> <br /> <br />SUMMARY <br />Commission goals are discussed annually, to create a shared focus and establish <br />priorities. After approval of the expansion of the Library Commission Outreach <br />Subcommittee work to the entire commission for 2024, commissioners have requested to <br />review and discuss new outreach goals. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Discuss and select Library Commission outreach goals for 2024. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br />The Library Commission engages in work directly related to the duties outlined in the <br />City of Pleasanton Municipal Code (Muni Code) Section 2.34.020 (Attachment 1), which <br />include the promotion of library services: “Promote the use and support of library <br />services within the community, including working in cooperation with citizen and <br />business groups, foundations, charitable trusts, school districts and governmental <br />agencies.” <br /> <br />Commission and staff often partner on library promotion. In the past, this has included <br />staffing booths at community events, leveraging social networks and community <br />connections to talk about library programs and services, and helping to plan or <br />participate in celebration events. In prior years, this work was guided by the Library <br />Commission’s Outreach Subcommittee. <br /> <br />For the 2024 calendar year, commission approved at their November meeting the <br />expansion of outreach work to the entire commission and pausing the Outreach <br />Subcommittee. Engaging the commission holistically in outreach planning draws a <br />wider perspective and leverages the diverse ages, backgrounds, and experiences of <br />each of the commissioners. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
