Stillwater Free Library Programming Program

The responsibility rests with the library director or school superintendent, who regulates the selection to appropriate staff acting within the framework of the established policies. In schools, librarians work closely with teachers and school administrators to provide collections that support and supplement the school’s curriculum.

Besides be adjacent to a major interstate this particular library is nestled between the Hoover Police Department and the Hoover Recreation Center. The library to address such a diverse and large community is a two floor facility with the basement level having meeting rooms, a theatre, and a box office. While the main level has the collections, circulation desks, lounges, and café. The spacious and large floor plans are necessary to fulfill the needs and visits from an estimate of 79,127 patrons and counting. The exponential growth of patrons is value to understand how much this library has grown to serve its community since opening in 1983. The handling of such growth in patrons would not be possible without the help of the Jefferson County Library Cooperative and the Library Board, which is open to the public. Considering the following it is important that what the Hoover Public Library is for fulfillment of their mission “to serve all the citizens of Hoover by offering the services, resources, and facilities to fulfill the informational, educational, cultural, and recreational needs and interests.” (Hoover,

The London Public Library is an organization spanning the city of London, delivering services from 16 physical locations. The core services of the library include reference, reader’s advisory and referral; collections and lending; technology services; programming and community outreach. The library is focused on literacy, learning, culture/leisure/recreation, information and community meeting place. The past few years have seen significant resources pegged towards fund raising strategies, resulting in other areas of the organization being neglected and

We planned library programming to include patrons of our community partners (for example, offering library tours and introducing library services outside of the library) to foster community collaborations and meet people who will need and use the library services. Some examples of community partners include: Council on Aging, Boys & Girls Club, schools, Valley Opportunity Council, Commission for the Disabled,

The process I used to create the advocacy video provides evidence of how my core values as a school librarian can positively affect the students and teachers around me. Based on the Texas Education Agency’s SBEC School Librarians Standards for the initial Preparation of School Librarians the following standards were met:

In the event President Trump’s proposal is approved, this directly influences the quality of services the public library as a whole provides. Moreover, impact educational programs the library offers for early childhood education. Additionally, budget cuts will impact the following: library's inventory collection, information technology, purchases of supplies and equipment (and maintenance) and other aspects of the library that are unique in the community. Equally important, staff members' development opportunities as Ms. Teagle mentioned. Currently, Waldorf West Branch has a restrictive budget and limited physical space to make additional improvements and expand the

The library I volunteered at is run by the high school, Dr. Norman Bethune Collegiate Institute (C.I.). The school was founded in 1979 and was named after Norman Bethune; a well-known Canadian doctor. He was best known for his services during World War I and his dedication to helping the poor in Canada. Moreover, over these past few years, the school has prospered beautifully and has had many renovations and changes. For example, two years ago, the school’s library had a huge makeover. The library was given new furniture to allow to have students a better working space. Similarly, the library moved shelves around in order to make it more convenient for everyone to access books. Ultimately, Dr. Norman Bethune C.I. has it in their best interest to provide students with the tools they need to succeed in education. In other words, the school displays good citizenship by assisting their students.

The Little Free Libraries do more than provide reading materials. They also promote a sense of community. According to Bol, “it engages and brings neighborhoods together, and folks take to each other more than they ever have” (Aldrich 3). It brings the people in the communities together where they can interact with each other over the favorite books, magazines, comics or journals. Anita Malchiodi Albedi, a high school English teacher in Solano County California, says her Little Free Library has had a positive impact on her neighborhood community. She remembers fondly being in her garden in her front yard and having three middle school girls stopped by to tell her “hello.” One of the girls even told her that they lived on Pennsylvania street, a very low-income neighborhood where the police are often

My work with the Freehold Public Library has been a huge part of my life, as I have volunteered there since I was 12 years old. I have grown up with the library, and my experiences with the library, whether it as a volunteer or a customer, are very important to me. I started volunteering for summer programs at the library. I then joined the Teen Library Committee and did service projects for the community as a part of it throughout the year. I also encouraged my brother and a friend to join the Teen Library Committee with me. As a part of this group, I have been able to do service projects for a wide variety of causes, such as making food for a local soup kitchen, making dog treats to donate, and making cards for those stationed overseas or in the hospital. In 8th grade, as a part of National Junior Honor Society, I wrote a grant for the library to expand their young adult collection. I spent months talking to Mrs. Kathy about the public library system and the issues that this library faces

The variety of skills and library experience that Kathe brings to the library enhances the services we provide. With a friendly and welcoming approach,

In contrast, the library of the firm has seen better days. The library provides the firm with case archives, legal reference materials, subscriptions, desks, and reading spaces. However, fewer people are visiting the library and utilizing the resources because they have electronic access to the reference and subscription materials. Diana Greensburg, who is the librarian and manager of the library, has had her position for the past 15 years but she has yet to witness a renovation of the facility. Fortunately, Smith’s administrative assistant, Helen Sparks, has informed Diana that a design consultant will be redesigning the office spaces and the library to increase efficiency. Helen has asked Diana for suggestions on how the library space

The branch libraries of CCPL serve diverse communities and customers, including persons of various ages, races, national origins, spiritual beliefs, lifestyles and physical and mental abilities. The needs, interests and points of view of these populations reflect the variety inherent in contemporary society. The interests and beliefs of one group will not be sacrificed to satisfy those of another. CCPL assumes a responsibility to provide free access to a broad range of material that reflects all points of view.

Since the plummet of the economy seven years ago, many hardships have fallen on the whole community. One of the most fatigued victims at the beginning of the stagnation of the economy were government owned public facilities like public libraries. This is still the case today with the best example being the Queens Public library. Like many, (my local) the closest Queens Library branch to me makes numerous cutbacks in order to remain open.

For the last couple of years Horizon is running on a tight budget to open its own public library. In addition, I will attempt to look at the overall obstructions accompanying this issue in this city. The method used to gather data to analyze this

Central Idea (Need): The worth of public libraries in America extends far beyond the books they offer; libraries also provide access to computers and internet connections, meeting places for community activities and groups, guidance services for patrons, tutoring programs, and advocacy for child literacy programs. Despite the value of these resources to struggling communities, libraries have seen a decline in both public usage and federal funding in recent years.
