LIBRARY BUDGET REQUESTS FOR FY 2017-2018:
During the recession, two full-time Administrative Assistant positions for Project Read and CLC were
combined into one. Since that time, front desk coverage at the CLC has been sporadic, sometimes
requiring a manager to fill-in, and there is a backlog in general program and project clerical support.
Additional clerical help is needed throughout the weekday schedule, Monday through Saturday, to
provide general office support, including handling increased statistical data entry requirements for grant
reporting, and to monitor and facilitate entry to the facility while staff is engaged in providing services to
the public. 30 hours per week for a p/t hourly Library Clerk is being requested. $25,558
The Library has not increased the budget for book and video collections in over ten years. Costs for
purchasing and processing these items have increased. During the strategic plan process, the
community identified developing international language and cultural collections as a priority. Additional
funding will help to grow Asian and Spanish language collections at Main Library as well as supplement
the collection budget for other materials. The current materials budget is $267,807. This request would
increase the materials budget by approximately 11%. $30,000
Demand for online movies, documentaries and television is strong and growing. A number of streaming
video services for the library market have emerged as popular options and are being added by a number
of Bay Area libraries. The goal of providing such a service is included in our Strategic Plan as a
component of building a robust digital environment. $15,000
The Library provides services to the community during outreach efforts to local schools, organizations,
and during community events. In order to enable staff to issue library cards, demonstrate online
resources, and provide reference assistance during these off-site events, internet access, facilitated
through the use of a Mi-Fi unit, or mobile hotspot, is necessary. This funding will cover monthly charges
to provide service to two Mi-Fi units to be used by Main and Grand staff during outreach events. $1,000
The Literacy Services Assistant Coordinator position provides services to adults at the Community
Learning Center, including teaching English, Citizenship, Computer, and Spanish Language Literacy
classes. This position has been primarily funded using grants and donations. As our funding streams
have shifted to focus more on children and families, it has become more difficult to cover the costs of
these services to adults. This request for funding will provide 15 hours per week for this position, which
will help us continue to provide these needed classes. $38,700
As the needs of patrons change, the demand increases for library staff who are able to provide
assistance in the use of technology. By adding Library Assistant I hours ($22.30-$27.02/hour), the library
will be able to train and promote staff working at the lower levels of Pages ($10.50-$12.76) and Clerks
($13.78-$16.75), meeting community needs while providing growth opportunities and improving staff
retention. To help offset the cost of adding 1.25 FTE Library Assistant, the library will eliminate 1 FTE
Library Page hours and .65 FTE Library Clerk hours. $18,500
Additional conference attendance: $4,000
