Librarian's Message
Message from the City Librarian - June 2014
During this past year the r ._
Library has witnessed
exciting evolutions and
innovations in an effort to
stay current with today's
rapidly changing community
needs, wants, and
expectations. Contrary to
the stereotypical idea of Air4
Librarianship, my first year f
as City Librarian has been a
wild and exhilarating ride!
Jo Rolfe, City Librarian
What's new at Moorpark City Library?
October 2013 saw the launch of the new City website and the library's own
dynamic web pages. Check us out at moorparklibrary.org. In November
patrons began to explore eBooks and eAudiobooks through the increasingly
popular online delivery platform - OverDrive. Downloadable titles, especially
bestsellers, continue to be added every week. eReader getting started guides
are available for various platforms and staff is happy to help get you reading on
your own mobile device.Just Ask Us!
Keeping technology trends at the forefront of many of our activities, we
participated in the California State Library's ELF 2.0 grant program which
enabled us to purchase iPads and develop a series of Digital storytimes for
Little Bilingual Readers. Overall, children's programs are going from strength to
strength under the ever present guidance of our very own Youth Services
Librarian - Mrs. T. And talking about staff, a new Young Adult Librarian joined
us in a full-time capacity just in time for the wonderful rush of enthusiasm
experienced at the very start of the Summer Reading Program in June.
In addition to technology enhancements and community development, more
traditional library activities remain at the core of our library services. We've
offered 424 library programs since July 1, 2013 — an increase of more than 40
events from the previous year - and recorded almost 10,000 patron visits to
our events! Our extraordinary frontline Circulation staff have checked out over
4
Pg. 2 Librarian's Message
126,000 items to eager readers. The Paws to Read, Summer Reading Club
Petting Zoo in June, saw 400 patrons at the library and 499 items were checked
out just in 2 hours! This is record Circulation for a Wednesday morning at the
library.
Our Library staff is not just a group of individuals who happen to like working
with books; they continue to navigate innovation and change, while at the
same time maintaining the core service values that the community of the City
of Moorpark has come to expect. During this amazing year they have become
an authentic team that I, for one, am proud to celebrate.
Now that I have passed my one year anniversary as City Librarian I wish to
expressly thank everyone who has checked out a book, attended an event,
participated in a library program, or volunteered your time. Something you did
is recorded in the statistics and narrative of this annual report. I believe from
the bottom of my heart that libraries are cornerstones of democracy, and your
community support is our foundation.

The Library is as busy as ever with over 137,136 visitors this past year.
Circulation rose slightly; however, is still not at the all-time level reached in
Fiscal Year 2011/12. Events and number of event participants both increased
last year with an increase in the amount of Teen and Adult programs. This past
year the number of offered programs increased by 23% and the number of
attendees increased by 18.5% over last year's numbers. Many more patrons
are utilizing the ability to place holds on books. This will continue to rise once
the Library joins the Inland Library Network in 2014. By joining the Network,
Moorpark City Library patrons will have the ability to access millions of titles
throughout a multi-system combined catalog and resource sharing service.

The Moorpark City Library provides programming for all ages and a variety of
demographics. The difference in the programming statistics on the chart
above and the events and event attendees listed in the chart on page 3 is that
the three large community events, detailed on the next page of this report,
were not included in the chart above. Programs offered have increased in
every year except 2012/13 since the Moorpark City Library opened in January,
2007. Attendance has steadily increased each year over the past 7 years. The
number of Teen and Adult programs has increased most substantially over the
past 3 years and attendance in both these areas can be hit and miss.
Programming is tricky, especially programming for tweens and teens, due to
trends, competing programs, extracurricular activities, and school
commitments. Teen events are being attended and the Young Adult Librarian
constantly monitors trends and gathers feedback from the Moorpark youth
population that visit the library.
The full detail of programs for Fiscal Year 2013/14 is provided as Exhibit A to
this report.

Community Programs
The Moorpark City Library participated in the three large community events
during the reporting period.
3rd of July Fireworks Extravaganza!
Do You Remember...? The Moorpark City Library booth at the 2013 July 3rd
event focused on materials from the growing local history collection and a
chance for attendees to win a grocery store gift card just for helping to
identify historical photos. Photos were displayed at the event and attendees
were asked to identify anything they could about the photos — location, who
is in the picture, when might it have been taken etc.
Country Days Parade
On October 5, 2013, the Library and the Moorpark Friends of the Library
participated in the Country Days Parade. Library staff spoke to over 210
attendees on the windy day in October. Staff gave away information about
the library, library logo flyers, pencils, and other promotional items. Adjacent
to the Library was the Friends of the Library book sale which drew a crowd to
browse and, in turn, attendees picked-up information about the library.
Moorpark Arts Festival
On April 5, 2014, Librarians participated in the Moorpark Arts Festival. Library
staff actively engaged with 250 attendees focusing on two primary goals 1) to
promote the Library and 2) to support local authors. All three librarians and
teen volunteers were actively involved throughout the day; handing out
library materials and signing up patrons for library cards. There were two
activities to engage the public, 1) in celebration of National Poetry Month,
children wrote an acrostic name poem and 2) an activity to describe and/or
draw how the library has changed your life.
For their participation, children received library logo flyers, crayons and
pencils. The Library booth had 5 authors in attendance: Ryan M. Blanck,
Supposedly Fun Things; Barbara Gibson-Paul, Max Pays Attention; Sally
Carpenter, Sinister Sitcom Caper; Robert Black, Night of the Paranormal
Patterns; and Len Lamensdorf, Crouching Dragon Trilogy. The authors
entertained Arts Festival attendees and answered a multitude of questions
about writing and publishing. Author Len Lamensdorf donated copies of all 6
of his books to the Library including the Crouching Dragon Trilogy and had the
biggest audience for his presentation.

Adult Programs
This year the City Librarian and staff presented 27 programs tailored to the
adult population of our community.
Book Club for Adults —On the first Sunday of each month, with an additional
meeting in December, the Book Club for Adults meets for a stimulating
conversation around their book of choice. With between 7 and 16
participants, the club read and discussed the following books over the past
year: Maisie Dobbs by Jacqueline Winspear; Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter; 44
Scotland Street by Alexander McCall Smith; Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton;
Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh; Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour

16 attendees); The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion; Mansfield Park by Jane
Austin; Wonder by R.J. Palacio, and A Dogs Purpose by W. Bruce Cameron.
The Club also had a brief debate on the nature of book clubs and how sharing
stories and reading experiences develop a sense of community togetherness
and common understanding.
First Time Home Buyers Workshop — On September 19, the Area Housing
Authority of the County of Ventura presented a First Time Home Buyers
Workshop at the Library. The workshop, presented in English and Spanish,
had experts in local, State and federal funding resources that cover tax
benefits, raising your FICO score, and loan options for first-time buyers
available through the state of California.
Computer, eBook, & Tech Q & A — Beginning in November, the Librarian's
offered open times between one and three times per month for residents to
drop by the Library and ask questions regarding computers, eBook devices, or
basic technology. This Q & A time was offered a total of 11 times from
November through April with a total of only 6 participants who asked
questions about Facebook, printing from email, and Kindle eBooks.

December Holiday Social — The Holiday Social featuring the Fried Out
Features Band had 20 in attendance and was held on Sunday, December 8,
2013 in the City Community Center Apricot Room. All in attendance enjoyed
the music and holiday spirit.
Movie Monday's — It was movie night at the Library. Sleepless in Seattle,
Gravity, and Casablanca were scheduled to be shown. Gravity was the only
movie selection with attendees. The movie nights will be analyzed and may
or may not continue.
TED Talks — On May 19th the City Librarian hosted the first in a series of TED
Talks that will be offered at the library. TED is a nonprofit devoted to
spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or
less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment
and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to
business to global issues — in more than 100 languages. At the Library event,
three videos were selected to view and discuss presented by Sheryl Sandberg,
author and COO of Facebook, and Diana Nyad, author and long distance
swimmer. After viewing the videos, the 11 attendees articulated various
perspectives on gender equality and the role of women in today's society.
Evaluations after the event showed an interest in future presentations of this
kind.
Young Adult (Teen) Programs
The Young Adult population is challenging in the field of programming. As
stated previously, tweens and teens provide a challenge due to ever changing
trends, competing programs, extracurricular activities, and school
commitments. The Moorpark City Library Young Adult Librarian works
tirelessly to stay on top of trends, analyze our Moorpark teen community,
stay up on the latest teen books and movies, as well as remain versed in
technology. The Young Adult Librarian provided a range of programming this
year—some offerings proved more successful than others.
Ongoing teen programs include:
Teen Book Club (began in January 2014, continues monthly)—The Teen Book
Club meets the first Monday of each month. From January through June,the
group of teens, ranging from 2 to 8 participants, have discussed the books
Wonder by RJ Palaccio; The Alchemyst by Michael Scott; Flipped by Wendelin
Van Draanen; Ungifted by Gordon Korman; When You Reach Me by Rebecca
Stead; and A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle; Many of the teens make
personal connections to the books and enjoy their lively discussions.

Pg. 8 Programs and Special Events
Teen Wii and Game Wednesdays—Teens test their skills at Wii games as well
as traditional board games and cards.
Teen Movies — Throughout the year, the Young Adult Librarian chooses
movies that will hopefully appeal to the teen audience. This past year movies
such as John Carter, Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull, Journey to the Center
of the Earth, Beautiful Creatures, Nightmare before Christmas, Man of Steel,
Mortal Instruments, Remember the Titans, Thor: Dark World, Catching Fire,
and Enders Game were shown. Often no teens show up and the movie is
cancelled; however, on occasion the events are attended, for example the
showing of Nightmare before Christmas drew 16 teens and Mortal
Instruments had 11 teens. These events are hit and miss and typically small
groups of friends happen upon the events and stay to watch the movie or
participate.
Themed Craft Days — Numerous theme
related craft days were also held throughout
the year. Mod Podge Banned Book Cover
Art in September; Alien Pins for Teen Read
Week and Sugar Skulls for Dia de los
- Muertos in October; Edible Turkey Art for
Thanksgiving; Recycled Gifts in December;
the Create Space Craft in January; and the
Valentine Heart Art in February.
A couple theme weeks were celebrated or
recognized including:
Banned Book Week—September 22—28, 2013 was Banned Book Week. The
library participated in celebrating this national theme where the right to read
what you like and challenge censorship triumphed. We invited patrons to vote
for their favorite Banned Books.
Teen Tech Week —The Library

day for the week. There was a QR

engineering challenge. The most popular event was Bookfacing where 10
teens chose a book cover and the Young Adult Librarian took their portrait
matching their pose to the book to make it look as if the face on the book
cover was their face. The photos were posted on the library social media sites,
on a display in the library, and we emailed and printed a copy of the picture
for each teen who participated.
Special Events were held throughout the year such as:
The Moorpark Pizza Challenge — It's Election Day, so rock the vote! Teens
gathered at the library to vote on the best pizza in Moorpark. Pizza was eaten
in a "blind taste test" from Pizza Hut, Pizza & More, Me-N-Ed's, and Dominos.
Teens certainly have strong opinions on what makes a pizza their favorite.
Everyone enjoyed this lively event.
Divergent Movie Release Party — On rt. 0

it was sheared and then showed them how to spin it into yarn. One mother
and daughter came as they enjoy crocheting together. On June 17, the
Makerspace was DIY Wrapped Headphones/Earbuds. Ten tweens showed up to
learn how to wrap earbuds with embroidery thread, which is not only
decorative but helps prevent the earbuds from getting tangled and makes
them unique to each person so they don't get mixed up. The Young Adult
librarian showed a brief YouTube tutorial, and then she and the Youth
Services Librarian helped participants get started on wrapping their own
earbuds.

Pg. 19 Customer Service, Outreach, and Volunteerism
Customer Service, Outreach, and Volunteerism
Library customer service is paramount to the experience of its users. A good
library does more than just house a collection, it provides 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.
When we found that the expanding DVD collection could no longer fit onto
the available shelves, we were faced with the option of weeding items that
could potentially still hold the interest of patrons wishing to borrow them, or
building new shelving into the existing wall space. It was determined that it
would be more beneficial to expand the shelving area to house the ever
growing collection. The project was completed and the launch of the newly
configured collection took place in early April.
In terms of equipment, a DVD and CD disc cleaning machine was purchased in
September 2013. The unit brings life back into worn out or scratched movies
and music that previously would have been discarded as they would not
satisfactorily play. Because of the new disc cleaner the adult, children's and
music disc collections are being repaired and refreshed on a continuous basis.
The month of May also saw the addition of a new vending color copy machine
that offers black and white copies for 10 cents per page and now color copies
for 25 cents per page. Although use has so far been modest, it's is anticipated
that it will increase as the fall semester begins and homework illustrations can
be produced in full color.
One of the most popular
additions to the library is the
} - :y children's wooden manipulative
, ; installed onto the front of the
,.` `% circulation desk. This is designed
to engage young ones as their
parents are checking out their
books. The children love to play,
the parents love that they can
concentrate on the task in hand,
and other library users
appreciate that the children do
not get upset about waiting at the desk since the exciting activity toy has been
installed. This small enhancement might just be the most visibly successful
physical customer service enhancement of the year.
22
Pg. 20 Customer Service, Outreach, and Volunteerism
Library staff have conducted
outreach at various community '
events such as Country Days, A
Moorpark Arts Festival and the
July 3rd Firework Extravaganza.
Librarians attend local school
open house nights and career j--'
days to promote library programs -- €
and services, and offer
informational resources. As you can see in Exhibit A, school outreach, teacher
visits, and tours reached hundreds of students this past year. We offer class
visits where Librarians go into school class rooms, and also invite classes to
come to the library to receive direct information literacy instruction along
with a fun story time activity.
The library has developed community partnerships with several service
groups and numerous individuals. These include an active Friends
organization. Moorpark Friends of the Library funded aspects of Library
programming throughout the year through in-library, parking lot, and online
donated book sales, as well as a community fundraising event entitled
Comedy Night at the Funeral Home in October 2013. Library Board President
Robert Perez donated his family run business as the venue for this event. He
also generously starred in the role of Santa Clause for the highly popular
Holiday Social held in the Library in December.
First 5 California is a government sponsored non-profit organization designed
to focus on children's health and education as top priority, especially in the
early years of development. In collaboration with library staff they facilitate
the Little Bi-lingual Readers program which brings literacy skills to young
children in the form of shared stories, songs and physical activities presented
in both English and Spanish.
The Kiwanis service group is a
global organization of , i
I
volunteers dedicated to
changing the world one child --M_
at a time. Fourteen teen and aF k
adult Kiwanis volunteers k ' ah>
assisted with the library's non-
fiction collection shifting it -r
project in the spring. The
library outgrew the existing I rs
space in this section so a row =; .I;
of new shelving was added to
23
Pg. 21 Customer Service, Outreach, and Volunteerism
each stack. This prompted the need to reorganize all materials into the
correct Dewey Decimal numerical order. The Kiwanis prepared the materials
for shifting on March 8 and returned for the major shifting event on Saturday
April 12. They worked together like a well-oiled machine and the end result
was better than could have been anticipated.
The Moorpark Women's Fortnightly Club founded the library in 1912. As
regular supporters of the library their contributions have been valued and
appreciated through the years. This year they donated $500 and are currently
busy organizing a community fundraising event to benefit the library, Family
Fun Day at the Ranch to be held on September 21, 2014.
Over 400 adult and teen individualellimosommumeme volunteers have offered their time for
ongoing library tasks and special projects!
'� .a. i Adult volunteers have assisted with item
� - '.� labeling projects, program preparation and
implementation, and DVD and CD
E �
- maintenance and repair. Teens that are
required to undertake community service
hours in order to graduate from high school
are welcomed to the library for scheduled
volunteer training sessions. Here they can
learn basic skills in library organization, as
well as discover first-hand knowledge of
work-life balance, time management,
personal responsibility, and team
collaboration.
Golden Grades Tutoring is the name of a group of motivated Moorpark High
School teen volunteers who provide a program offering after school tutoring
and homework help for younger children at the library.
In terms of Databases, we continue to offer the Gale Virtual Reference Library
and Career Transitions, as well as subscription based database named
Brainfuse for live online tutoring and homework help provided by qualified
teachers and professionals located all across the country. The databases
which are currently under review for enhancement provide a mountain of
peer reviewed resources and authentic expert derived ideas.

AGENDA REPORT
TO: Moorpark Library Board
FROM: Jennifer Mellon, Administrative Services Manage() 11
DATE: August 5, 2014 (Meeting of 8/12/14)
SUBJECT: Consider Library Collections h,!location
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
As part of the City Council Policy 2.20: Moorpark City Library Materials Selection, 'The
Moorpark City Librarian and City Representative shall present an informational item to
the Library Board each July identifying suggested allocation of collection budget
resources to various types of materials for the Fiscal Year beginning July of that same
year. Collection statistics for the prior Fiscal Year shall be included within the Moorpark
City Library Annual Report that is presented to the Library Board at the August meeting.
The Library Board will provide suggestions to the City Librarian and City Representative
who have final decision making authority on collection development."
For Fiscal Year 2014-15 the City has allocated $60,000 for collection development
within the Library Services Budget. The actual collections budget for materials is
$57,000 with a $3,000 administrative fee charged by Library Systems & Services LLC
(LSSI) (5% of purchases per the Agreement with LSSI). Each year, the three
professional librarians work diligently using book lists, best seller lists, and with the
school district lists to select material for purchase that will be best utilized by the
residents of Moorpark. Librarian's, as part of the curriculum of their Masters in Library
Science, learn best practices in collection development and utilize this knowledge along
with demographics and other data to customize a collection of material specifically for
their library.
The City Librarian and City Representative have concluded, based upon evaluation of
materials currently in the library and purchasing trends of previous years that the
allocation of Collection Budget for Fiscal Year 2014-15 shall be as follows:

Please keep in mind that these allocations are flexible and may change throughout the
year, especially this year as the Moorpark City Library joins the Inland Library Network.
After initial evaluation of the Inland Library Network reciprocal borrowing and delivery
service the City Librarian may determine that our collection budget resources should be
allocated differently. If this is recommended, and, the City concurs, a follow-up report
shall be presented to the Library Board for discussion.

Moorpark Friends of the Library
President's Report for July, u ust, 2014
By: Mike Fenerin
➢ Overall, everything is moving smoothly with the Moorpark Friends of the Library:
o Membership still growing, now up to 85
o Finances in excellent shape with over$50,000 in checking and savings
o Leadership stable with current officers re-elected, one to a new position (see below)
o Newsletter going great with Rosalie in charge
o Strong core of volunteers
o Summer book sale from June 28 to July 9 was at the slower end of our normal range,
netting about $540. Still good, but not one of our better sales. No clear cut reason
why. Thanks to Jennifer and the city for all their terrific help!
➢ Upcoming activities, events:
o Children's reality show with Robert Perez's daughter confirmed for Saturday, August 23
7 PM on the HUB network
o Country Days book sale September 27;
o Live comedy at the Funeral Home October 26; planning meetings scheduled
o Civil War Re-enactment book sale November 8-9 or so
➢ Open issue: Still searching for Social Media director; may have possible candidate from CLU
➢ In research:
o Evaluating possible investment opportunities to convert our CD and $15000 of our
$30,000 checking account to higher earning investments. More to follow at next
meeting.
o Assessing whether or not we should re-launch the fundraising committee, but with an
endowment goal rather than a new-library goal, in order to build donations to the
Friends
o Should we celebrate the Moorpark Friends of the Library's 35th anniversary this year?
➢ Major Friends priorities for 2014:
o Build endowment and provide continuing level of donations for the library
o Strengthen volunteer base
o Improve book store sales, book sales, on-line sales, membership revenues, donations
