SUBJECT: Consider Moorpark City Library Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2012-13
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
As part of Ordinance No. 403 Amending Moorpark Municipal Code Chapter 2. 70, Moorpark
City Library, of Title 2 of the Moorpark Municipal Code in which a Library Board of Trustees
was created and policy relating to that board established, Section 2.70.090 item F states,
"the board shall on or before August 31 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 30 preceding."
In previous years the Library had produced a calendar year report ratherthan a fiscal year
report. Staff requested that the City Librarian change the report to a Fiscal Year Report
going forward to align with the Ordinance requirements. In future years the report shall be
submitted to the Library Board at their August meeting and then to the City Council.
The attached annual report for Fiscal Year 2012-13 was presented to the Library Board at
their meeting on January 14. The Library Board approved the staff recommendation to
receive and file the report and directed staff to submit the report to the City Council as an
informational item.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the Moorpark City Library Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2012-13.

Pg. 01 Librarian's Message
Letter from the City Librarian -June 2013
City Librarian , Heather Cousin
(Photo courtesy of the Ventura County Star)
On August 1, 1912, members of the
Fortnightly Group, later known as the
Moorpark Women's Fortnightly, gathered
to establish a new library in the fledgling
community of Moorpark. According to
Norma Gunter in her book, The Moorpark
Story, the first library was no more than a
small space in the Fortnightly Clubhouse.
A branch of the Oxnard Public Library, the
library's collection was initially so small the
first librarian published a list of available
books in the Moorpark Enterprise
newspaper!
Many of the events of the first half of 2013, are a direct result of the higher
visibility and good will generated by the 100th Anniversary celebrations. With a
$5,000 grant from the California State Library and the Institute for Museum and
Library Services, Moorpark City Library now has a chance not only to expand its
collection of items of Moorpark history, but to serve as the single point of contact
for students, researchers and the community. Perhaps most importantly, these
artifacts will receive the utmost care and be handled using archival best practices,
insuring their availability, both digitally and physically for years to come.
With the monumental changes in our community and our Library, one thing
remains constant: ours is a library of which we can be proud. Although our
location is small, we provide access to a universe of materials, programs which
feed the intellect and inspire the imagination and space in which to explore, learn
and grow. From children getting their first taste of literature at Family Storytime
to adults using the public computers to apply for a job, there truly is something for
everyone at the Moorpark City Library!

Customer Service and Volunteerism
The cornerstone of a library is the service provided to its users . A good library
should do more than just house a collection; it should provide patrons with the
tools necessary to actively and meaningfully engage with their world . Never
has this been more true than in today's web based environment.
With the increasing complexity of information distribution, the nature of library
service has changed dramatically. While many patrons enter the library clear in
their purpose and sure of what they want, most benefit greatly from the
assistance of well trained, informed staff. The wealth of information available
online is staggering and constantly changing. In addition to assisting patrons
with finding materials in the Library, staff helps guide patrons through the
on line universe, getting them the information they need in a useful format.
Whether helping out in the Moorpark Friends of the Library Bookstore or
reading to rapt audiences at Pajama Storytime, the Library was, once again,
extremely fortunate to have the help and support of many tireless volunteers.
The strategic and thoughtful use of volunteers enables Library staff to expand
its selection of high quality diverse programming and collection options for all
ages. Below are just a sample of tasks completed and programs presented by
local volunteers in 2012/2013:
• Summer Reading Club's Friday Family Films -supervision and concessions
• Operating the Moorpark Friends of the Library Bookstore -selecting,
pricing and shifting stock
• Pajama Storytime -selecting and presenting stories for young children and
their families
• Reading Buddies -providing reading support and . instruction for
elementary aged children who may be struggling to maintain reading skills.
• Programs for Adults -presenting programming for adults such as healthy
eating, genealogical searching and the publishing world
• Laubauch Literacy -tutors trained to work with those looking to improve
their English reading and writing skills.
• Collection maintenance -shelving board books, magazines and DVDs

Pg. 11 FY 2012-13 Highlights
Service Areas and Collections
The Library is divided along age based collections and service areas. The adult,
teen, and children's collections each offer a multitude of resources including
print, electronic, sound, online, and media collections specially chosen to
inform, entertain and enlighten.
Additionally, in the areas of children and teen services, attention is given to
material selection insuring those items meet the educational requirements of
area students.
Adults
With over 10,000 unique collection items for adults, the Library has something
to suit every reading or viewing perspective. During the latter half of 2012, staff
refined the fiction collection to better meet patron demands. Following the
"weeding project" materials were shifted to create a more intuitive layout. The
Library also improved the magazine collection by adding several high demand
subject areas such as budget travel and digital photography. These periodicals
enable the Library to affordably offer the most current information in a given
subject area.
In early 2013, staff turned its attention to the nonfiction collection . This project
was of particular importance given the need for current and comprehensive
materials covering such topics and financial management and health. Staff was
able to remove significant numbers of outdated and underused materials and
replaced them with the most current and in demand titles and subjects.
Programming for adults received a big boost in 2012 with the addition of events
related to the California Reads Searching for Democracy program. While staff
strives to offer a wide range of programming to suit everyone every year, the
grant funds made it possible to bring a number of unique world class events to
the area. Programs such as the Reagan Library lecture and the Constitution
Cafe went beyond the traditional book club or author visit enabling patrons to
enjoy events which speaks to their desire to pursue life-long learning -at value
at the core of library service.
Teens
The teen collection offers both popular fiction and informational materials for
ages 13-18. Informational materials are selected to support healthy growth,
creative exploration, and assist with school assignments. The Library provides
multiple copies of those materials required for summer reading and
assignments throughout the year. Recognizing the community's need for a teen
collection of varying difficulty, the collection was expanded in 2012 to include
thirty new titles designed especially for teens with low reading levels. These 310
Pg. 12 FY 2012-13 Highlights
materials encourage low level readers to enjoy books dealing with teen issues
and interests and are favorites of local homeschoolers and tutors. The low level
reading titles also help struggling readers to meet the reading requirements of
both middle and high school.
The Teen Librarian also increased efforts to
collaborate with other community groups
and services in 2012/2013. Partnering with
the Parks and Recreation department, she
helped to provide a "pop up" library service,
Your Library @ AVRC. Once a month, library

Center. This approach targeted high school students and those teens who may
not visit the library's physical location . The Teen Librarian was also onsite at
middle school and high school Back to School nights promoting electronic
reference, homework resources, and recruiting teen volunteers. She also made
a presentation to the PTA Board regarding the Library's programs including
online homework assistance.
Children
The area with the broadest range of users,
Children's Services, works with children and
their families from birth through elementary
school. The collection contains everything
from the virtually indestructible board book,
used to introduce infants and toddlers to the
world of reading, to complicated elementary
science texts for those looking for
curriculum support materials. Each month

depth with the addition of gently used

donations and new material purchases. Scanning a multitude of trade and
industry publications, Children's staff sought to bring increasing diversity and
complexity to the collection with the selection of items designed to appeal to a
wide range of readers and viewers. In particular, with the removal of many
damaged and low circulating fiction items, staff was able to add a large number
of new titles to the already packed shelves.
With the announcement of new Common Core standards, staff quickly sought
to align portions of the collection to satisfy the new requirements. Using the
advice of Moorpark teachers and school librarians, Children's services staff
added many new titles to enhance the already robust collection . 311
Pg. 13 FY 2012-13 Highlights
Throughout the year, Children's services continued to provide many
opportunities for children to practice and improve their reading skills as well as
socialize with others. During 2012, Children's staff added several new programs
including Pajama Storytime and Reading Buddies. Each was successful at
helping to build a community of enthusiastic library users as was evident in the
huge spike in participation in this year's Summer Reading Club.
Collections Outside the Library Walls
Building a library without walls is an ongoing task for library staff. Providing
computer users a free, available space in which they can use their own or
library equipment to access the internet and productivity software remains an
important goal. Staff continued to see a growth in computer and technology
use both at the library and from outside its walls. The library continued to offer
programs and services like Brainfuse online homework help, access to digital
newspaper and magazine articles, and provided newer, faster desktops with
which to access the internet in 2012-13.
In addition to offering access to a wide array of digital material, library users
enjoy access to the collections throughout the United States and Canada
through the use of reciprocal borrowing known as interlibrary loans. Library to
library lending enables staff to provide special, unique items which otherwise
would not be available to purchase and add to the collection . In 2012, the
Library requested over 130 interlibrary loans.
Digital and digitizing collections continue to be a hot topic for Moorpark. With
the addition of materials from the Moorpark Historical Society and building an
eBook collection with Overdrive, staff shares the community's ongoing desire
for expanding opportunities to access a wider variety of materials.
