CITY OF MOORPARK
MOORPARK LIBRARY BOARD
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Moorpark Library Board
FROM: Jeremy Laurentowski, Parks and Recreation Director
BY: Jessica Sandifer, Community Services Manager
DATE: 03/12/2019 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider the Duties and Responsibilities of the Library Board
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION
At the February 12th meeting, Board Member Rios, requested that an item be placed on
the agenda to discuss how the Board could be more productive in helping the Library.
As a reminder the roles and responsibilities of the Board are outlined in the Moorpark
Municipal Code (MMC) Section 2.70.090, a copy of which is attached to this report. The
duties and responsibilities of the Board as outlined in the MMC are fairly specific. Since
most of the major responsibilities of the Board were completed during the creation of the
Library, the primary business of the Board at this time includes a review of the Library's
Annual Report to the State Librarian, regular quarterly reports prepared by LS&S, City
staff, and the Friends, and review of policies and procedures as they may be amended
from time to time. Unfortunately, meetings are often cancelled due to lack of materials
for the Board to review.
Staff makes an effort to at least hold quarterly meetings in order that the Quarterly
Reports are presented to the Board in a timely fashion. When the meetings are held,
review of the various reports is the appropriate time for the Board to comment and make
recommendations to City staff regarding programming and other regular business of the
Library. The Board is encouraged to participate in and attend the programs and events
that the Library puts on in order to provide constructive informed feedback about these
programs and events. In addition to the responsibilities under the MMC, there are also
many opportunities for Board members to volunteer their time and contribute to the
success of the Library, such as through participation with the Friends of the Library and
volunteering to assist with Library Programs and events.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file report.
Attachment
2.70.090 Duties and responsibilities.
The duties and responsibilities of the library board are as follows:
A. The board may recommend to the city council all rules, regulations, and bylaws
necessary for the administration, government, and protection of the libraries under its
supervision.
B. If directed by the city council, the board may administer any trust declared or
created for the library, and receive by gift, devise, or bequest and hold in trust or
otherwise, property situated in this state or elsewhere, and where not otherwise
provided, dispose of the property for the benefit of the library.
C. The board may recommend to the city council the duties and powers of the
librarian, and other employees of the library.
D. The board may make recommendations to purchase necessary books, journals,
publications, and other personal property.
E. The board may borrow books from, lend books to, and exchange books with
other libraries, and may recommend to the city council policy language to allow
nonresidents to borrow books upon such conditions as the board may prescribe.
F. The board shall on or before August 31 st of each year review and submit a
written report to the city council and state librarian on the condition of the library for the
fiscal year ending June 30th preceding. The report shall, in addition to other matters
deemed expedient by the board, contain such statistical and other information as
deemed desirable by the state librarian.
G. The board may perform such other duties as may be requested from time to
time by the city council or as authorized by California Education Code Section 18900 et
seq. (Ord. 403 § 1, 2011)

The Moorpark City Library is happy to present the FY 2017-2018
Annual Report. Library staff continued their commitment to
bringing people, information, and ideas together to enrich
lives and improve the community.
EDUCATION
Director
Learning is a lifelong activity and the Moorpark City Library is committed to supplying
the community with tools that inform, educate, and connect people.
• The Golden Grades Tutoring program, offered twice a week 4:00-6:00 p.m.,
provides homework assistance to local students. During the 2017-2018 school
year, tutors guided 360 students to better grades through homework help and
test preparation.
• Reading Buddies is a weekly program that pairs children with adult volunteers to
practice reading aloud. The program results in stronger interest and
engagement in reading, improvement in social and communication skills and
fun! Reading Buddies helped 246 children become better readers in 2017-2018.
• The Library is also committed to connecting people to information outside the
library walls. The online Brainfuse service provided expert tutors and a suite of
homework help services to 2,472
students who logged in with their
library card!
• Free Internet and technology access is
a vital Library service. More than
10,000 patrons logged onto a public
use computer to search for jobs,
create resumes, print homework, and
stay connected with family and
friends.
I
INFORMATION
The Moorpark City Library provides free access to all kinds of knowledge and
information, always readily available to patrons.
• More than 400 programs were held throughout
the year, attracting more than 10,000 children,
teens and adults to the Library, where they
learned more about how the Library can help
improve their lives.
• Membership in the Inland Network provides
Moorpark City Library patrons access to materials
from more than 40 libraries in Riverside, Palmdale, and Simi Valley. The number of
holds placed each year continues to increase with 15,921 holds in 2017-2018.
While many people now access daily news on
the Internet, print newspapers and magazines are
preferred by many patrons. The Library subscribes
to the Los Angeles Times, Ventura County Star,
the Wall Street Journal, and more than fifty
magazines. While newspapers must be enjoyed in
the library, magazines circulated 890 times last
year.
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
The Moorpark City Library is committed to providing opportunities for personal creative
development and offers access to new and emerging technologies to inspire interest in
creation and collaboration.
• Crafty Adults is offered on the first Thursday of the month at 2 p.m. The program
began in September 2017 with the goal of providing a creative outlet for adults
through crafting. The Library held nine Crafty Adult programs with 1 1 1
participants. Opportunity for social connections is
an added program value; many participants are
stay-at-home mothers or women who work from
home.
• The Library's 3D printer was used by 147 patrons to
design and make three-dimensional objects.
• The Oculus Rift headset introduced 1 14 patrons to virtual worlds and games.
4
• Adulting 101, launched in June 2018, teaches teens and young adults aged 16-
25 the basics of being a responsible adult. The series kicked off with a program
called Getting a Job.
CHILDREN
The Moorpark City Library has a special responsibility to
support a more literate society by creating and
strengthening reading habits from an early age.
• Storytime promotes early literacy for the youngest
patrons. More than 2,000 babies, toddlers,
parents and caregivers participated in Family
Storytime, Little Bilinguals Storytime, Storytime in
the Parks, and Preschool Learning Time.
•
The Moorpark Summer Reading Club puts books
in the hands of children and helps students build
reading skills, prevent summer learning loss, and prepare for a successful school
year. In 2017, 700 children from birth to grade five, 176 teens in grades six -12 and
189 adults participated.
The Dia de los Nino celebrates children every April. Dia is a nationally recognized
initiative that emphasizes the importance of literacy for all children from all
backgrounds. This year the Library partnered with First 5 Moorpark/Simi Valley
Neighborhood to bring the First 5 Express, a bilingual children's activity center
that travels across California inspiring families to
understand the importance of a child's earliest`
years. More than 350 families and small children
came to celebrate!
• Big Truck Big Read is a Moorpark City Library
signature event. Every May, children honk the
horns, kick the tires, and touch the controls of
their favorite service vehicles. Participation
increased 20% from 2017 to 2018.
5
YOUNG ADULTS
The Moorpark City Library is committed to providing excellent service to teenagers. The
Young Adult Librarian works closely with teens to weave cultural trends into programs,
collections and collaborative efforts throughout the community.
• Teens in grades seven -12 can earn community service hours and build job skills
by volunteering at the Library. This year 76 new teen volunteers joined the Library!
The Teen Advisory Group (TAG) meets the
second Friday of each month after library
hours. TAG members help decorate the
library for special events, plan and
implement Star Wars Day celebrations,
provide collection feedback and facilitate
collaboration between the Library and high
school.
OUTREACH
The Library loves Moorpark! Library staff traveled across the city several times to
promote library services and materials to the public. The La Reina Volunteer Fair, First 5
Health & Safety Expo, Panther Preview at Chaparral Middle School, and every literacy
night at each of Moorpark's elementary schools were opportunities to spread the word
about all the Library has to offer. Additionally, staff hosted 40 class visits at the library,
decorated pumpkins and Halloween crafts with 1,000 people at Haunted High Street,
made 200 necklaces at the City's July 3rd Fireworks Extravaganza, and gave away free
books at Moorpark County Days.
On June 5, 2018, Library staff hosted the Moorpark
Chamber of Commerce networking mixer at the
Library. About 40 people attended the event including
city staff, several Moorpark Friends of the Library
members, and local business representatives. The City
Librarian spoke about the shared mission of the Library
and Chamber: To promote community resources and
the 3D printer and Virtual Reality equipment were
available.
