The following is an example of checklist items that staff consider <br />when planning programs: <br />• Flyers, large posters, and social media widgets <br />• Translations for flyers and posters in multiple languages <br />• Creation of Calendar entries for the Library Catalog and Website <br />• Social media posts, including photo and/or video posts <br />• Facebook event or Eventbrite pages <br />• City of Pleasanton Newsletter entries <br />• Engagement with media outlets/community communication channels <br />• Media advisories and press releases <br />• PUSD newsletter, Pleasanton Weekly, Patch <br />• Community Calendars online (Pleasanton Weekly) <br />• Social Ads/Newspaper advertising as identified <br />• Sharing with community organizations. <br /> <br />Facilities <br />Facilities and spaces are considered carefully in the program planning process. In prior years, <br />the library has navigated construction projects that included interior renovations and the <br />Library Roof Replacement Project and Library Lighting Project, scheduling Pop-Up programs <br />off-site. Certain programs such as the Cultural Celebration Series may be too large for the <br />Library Meeting room and are held at venues like the Firehouse Arts Center and the Senior <br />Center. Staff continues to ensure balanced use of the facilities and spaces for library programs <br />and community use in the development of the Library Program Plan. <br /> <br />Chart of Library Programs for FY 2024/25 <br />The Chart of Library Programs (Attachment 2) outlines the planned FY 2024/25 Library <br />programs and their audience and frequency, identifying Strategic Plan goals and the <br />community needs and interests that each program fulfills, as well as the estimated costs for <br />each. The Pleasanton Library Program Plan and the Chart of Library Programs are living <br />documents and are subject to further development, as staff continues to evaluate and adjust <br />programs and gather input from the community to enhance planning. <br /> <br />EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY <br />Library programs promote equity by providing free access to activities that connect to the core <br />services of the library, encouraging children and families from all walks of life to engage in <br />literacy activities. Public library resources and programs help level the playing field and support <br />reading and educational opportunities for all. <br /> <br />In the coming year, the library plans to offer a wide variety of programming that serves <br />audiences of different ages and abilities, as well as celebrates different cultures. Library <br />programming is always free to attend and welcome to all community members. The library will <br />be extending offsite programming, with the upcoming launch of the new Library and Recreation <br />mobile vehicle, to serve those who cannot easily reach the library facility and to increase <br />outreach to community partners that serve underserved and multi-lingual communities in <br />Pleasanton. <br /> <br />Page 10 of 80
