instrument "petting zoo".
Tuesdays: Lego Time
All sizes of Legos for all ages are available with teen volunteers assisting. Each week,
Mrs. T. labeled one creation with child's name and displayed it in the glass case. This
was a real hit as families returned to take photos of their child's Lego design on public
display. Lego play increases childhood socialization and communication and has seen
an increase of interest due to the many books published, and movies made about Lego
characters.
Wednesdays: Preschool Learning Time
A STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) activities program. Young
patrons interact with iPad apps in learning stations, with additional crafts and songs.

Thursdays: Read to a Dog
Trained therapy dogs patiently listen to stories during this popular program. Children
practice their reading fluency and receive a free book with compliments from a grant
funded program from Sage Publications. Research shows that when young children
read aloud without interruption or corrections to their reading and pronunciation, they
find their own fluency within the context of the words. Working with the dogs also has a
calming and focusing effect enabling children to avoid other distractions around them.
PJ Storytime in the Parks— New program this summer
This year brought PJ Storytime into your neighborhood. Families joined us for singing,
bubbling and of course stories. Guest readers were teen and adult volunteers with a
special visit from princesses in costume. A banner was created that was moved around
to each park a week prior to the Storytime so those living close by would know that the
library is coming to them. Seven weekly events on Thursday nights were in the following
seven parks:
June 25: Community Park next to the Library
July 2: Mammoth Highlands Park
July 9: Campus Canyon Park
July 16: Miller Park

FROM: Jennifer Mellon, Administrative Services Manager
Jo Rolfe, City Librarian, Library Systems & Servic , LLC
DATE: October 3, 2015 (Meeting of 11/10/15)
SUBJECT: Consider the Moorpark City Library Quarterly Report for the First
Quarter of Fiscal Year 2015-16 (July— September 2015)
DISCUSSION
Moorpark Friends of the Library(MFOTL): Met twice during the reporting period.
• Tuesday, July 21: Discussions focused on the summer book sale and change of
schedule for these annual events; the beginning of planning for the Comedy
event in October, and newsletter entries. Particular attention was on strategies to
increase membership of the group.
• Tuesday, September 15: Discussions about a memorial donation to honor a
member of the Friends who passed away, Audrey Knitowski; the Moorpark
Rotary's Library Cards for Kids Campaign was also discussed at length. This is a

increase awareness of the MFOTL organization. Bruce Thomas, President of
Moorpark Rotary attended this meeting via conference call.
Volunteers: July 223.5 hours 51 volunteers
August 134.5 hours 38 volunteers
September 106.5 hours 34 volunteers
Library Facilities and Initiatives:
The following improvements were completed during this reporting period:
a) Data and electrical channels were recessed into the concrete between the new
books and fiction sections. City Facilities staff moved the tables and carpet to
prepare for the work and moved the tables, chairs and carousels back into place
after construction. Library Contract Staff also assisted during the process.
b) New carpet tiles were installed throughout the Library on August 20 and 21.
Patrons comments have been positive.

c) New furniture was delivered and installed in the area between the fiction and new
books. Two round tables with new seating for 4 each and 2 lounge chairs all with
electrical outlets built in are being actively used and appreciated on a daily basis.
d) The two new printers, one for the public PCs printing and the other for the staff
area have made a huge impact on the speed of retrieving prints.
e) The custodial service re-surfaced the women's restroom floor for a second time.
f) The City's Finance Department and Library contract staff initiated new cash
management procedures. This has streamlined the process and been a great
improvement to transparent financial reporting.
g) Several items including shelving, small equipment, and a piece of the Circulation
desk were moved into storage following the re-carpeting.
h) The City conducted a safety inspection noting some areas of over-crowding of
supplies in the craft room and workroom.
New Library Card Designs: Three new styles of Library cards were unveiled. The new
cards were designed to appeal to different age groups and interests. They all include
the Library's catch phrase "Something for Everyone" and graphics reflecting our
community engaged in a wide variety of library activities.
The City Panoramic Photo card design choice ties in with the look of the website and it
is especially popular with adults. The new children's card design has the theme of
colorful crayons and matches the Moorpark Rotary's Library Cards for Kids Campaign
bookmarks that are also available at the Library. The simple but striking black and white
card is proving to be a favorite choice for teens.
Patrons applying for their first Library card can choose whichever design they like free
of charge. Patrons who are already cardholders can purchase a new design card for a
$1.00 replacement fee.
Social Media: Posts have increased significantly during this quarter. There have been
so many new additions and initiatives at the Library including the new carpet, furniture,
library card designs, and new programs that it has been easy to find photos and
announcements to post to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. We actively encourage all
followers to like and share our pages and posts.
Maker Box Collective Grant: The $20,000 grant application was successful; Moorpark
City Library is participating in development of the program and lesson plans for the
Makerspace boxes to rotate among the seven participating local libraries. Subject to
award guidelines, the funds and maker boxes are to be administrated exclusively
through Calabasas public library for the benefit of library patrons only.
Library Cards for Kids Campaign: In collaboration with Moorpark Rotary and the
Moorpark Friends of the Library, the Library contract staff designed and printed
bookmarks for the "Library Cards for Kids Campaign". With input from Library and City
staff, Bruce Thomas, President of the Rotary Club of Moorpark, is taking the lead by

Quarterly Report Observations and Conclusion: The Summer Reading Program
offered more programs and had more participants and attendees at events than in
previous years. The storytime in the parks program, which was new this summer, had
great success and many families came out to enjoy evenings in the park with picnic
dinners and stories. The storytime in the park events are planned again for next
summer and with the Summer Reading Club Theme of "Read for the Win" it is the
intention to include the Moorpark Recreation Department in the programs and possibly
add additional elements to the final storytime in the park program. Library staff will
continue to try new, innovative programs and assess those programs that do not see
steady attendance.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the Moorpark City Library Quarterly Report for the First Quarter of
Fiscal Year 2015-16 (July-September 2015).

ITEM 8.C.
CITY OF MOORPARK
MOORPARK LIBRARY BOARD
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Moorpark Library Board nn
FROM: Jennifer Mellon, Administrative Services Managers b�
DATE: November 3, 2015 (Meeting of November 10, 2015)
SUBJECT: Consider Revisions to City Council Policy 2.20: Moorpark City
Library Materials Collection; Policy 2.21: Moorpark City Library
Internet and Computer Use and Patron Agreement; Policy 2.22:
Moorpark City Library Circulation as well as the Library Card
Application
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
It has been two years since the City Council Policy's relating to the Moorpark City
Library and the Library Card Application have been reviewed. Staff has attached the
Policies and the Library Card Application, with proposed revisions in legislative format,
for Library Board review, discussion, and approval. Policies shall then be taken to the
City Council for consideration as part of their next City Council Policy update. The most
significant change to the Policies and Library Card Application are to stress that the
Library is not responsible to monitor the Library usage, access to Library materials, or
computer activity of any Library users, regardless of age, and that this should be clearly
stated within the Policies and on the Library Card Application. Monitoring activity or any
use of the Library is contradictory to the Library Bill of Rights and the Intellectual
Freedom Statement principles to which the Library adheres. The Library Card
Application has been simplified and upon approval by the Board will be translated into
Spanish for City Council consideration along with the English Application.
Other proposed significant modifications include:
1. A disclaimer for assistance with personal patron mobile devices that they bring
into the Library and that staff can provide only verbal guidance for patrons
wishing to access the wireless network.
2. Stating that printing from mobile devices may be made available via a wireless
printing application and a coin vending machine.

Attachment 1
Policy 2.20: Moorpark City Library Materials Selection
1. Mission
The Moorpark City Library (Library) provides information, lifelong learning,
inspiration and enjoyment to people of all ages through reading and technology.
This Materials Selection Policy sets guidelines used by the Library for the
selection of books and other print and electronic materials.
2. General Governing Factors
The selection of materials for the Library is governed by four factors:
A. The needs of the individual and of the community.
B. The individual merit of each work.
C. The existing collection, budget and services of the Library.
D. The Library adheres to the Library Bill of Rights and The Intellectual
Freedom Statement (copy is available at the Moorpark Library Circulation
Desk and at the City Clerk's office).
3. Principles of Selection
A. The Library aims to obtain and make readily accessible materials that fill
the cultural, educational and leisure needs of City residents.
B. Materials are selected from a number of sources. The basic consideration
for the selection of any item is whether it is of proven or potential interest
to the community served.
C. Additional criteria include:
• Availability and cost of the material
• The amount of similar material already in the collection
• The availability of the material elsewhere in the community
• The physical makeup of the material
• Opinions expressed by critics or reviewers
• Local interest or demand
D. In selecting materials to reflect the diversity of the needs and interests of
the residents of Moorpark, it should be recognized that some materials
chosen may be offensive or trivial to some persons while being meaningful
or significant to others. The Library does not endorse or agree with all
opinions expressed in the materials in the collection.
20
E. Materials shall be made as accessible as possible to the public. The
Library does not serve as censor of the reading of any person. The Library
recognizes the importance in an open and democratic society of allowing
individuals to form their own opinions on issues and, therefore, acquires
materials that may be of a controversial nature.
F. Responsibility for the use of Library materials by minors rests with their
parents or legal guardians. The selection of materials for the Library will
not be governed by the possibility that these materials may come into the
possessions of minors.
4. Responsibility for Selection
A. The initial responsibility for materials selection lies with the Library staff
working within the area of service to children, young adults, and adults.
The general public may recommend material for consideration.
B. In making selections, Library staff shall do so in a manner based on
principle rather than personal opinion, reason rather than prejudice, and
judgment rather than censorship. The spirit of selection should be
inclusive rather than exclusive. Variety and balance of opinion are sought
whenever possible.
C. The Moorpark Library City Representative shall be the City Manager or
City Manager designee (City Representative), who shall be responsible for
overseeing the development of the Library collection by the City Librarian
according to the principles set forth in this policy. The City Librarian shall
execute best practices in librarianship when developing the Library
collection and shall be responsible for collection development.
D. 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.
5. Placement of Materials in the Library
A. The Public has free access to all Library materials consistent with this
policy.
21
B. Placement of materials within the Library will be made by the City
Librarian. Criteria include:
• Assigned Classification
• Format
• Susceptibility to loss or damage
• Rarity or cost
C. The Library staff labels materials for placement only, not to predispose the
user-patron for or against any materials.
6. Bindery/ Book Mending
Only those materials of local significance, of long-term importance to the
collections, or heavily used items will be bound, rebound, or mended as needed.
7. Gifts — Funds
Donations of funds are welcome and must be documented by the City. Donated
funds must be immediately sent to the City of Moorpark Finance Department for
deposit and accounting on the day received or the next business day if received
on a weekend or after 5:00 pm. The City reserves the right to make the final
decision on use of donations of funds towards library enhancements.
8. Gifts - Materials
Donations of materials to enrich the collection are welcome. Donated materials
are received by the Moorpark Friends of the Library and the Library staff reserves
the right to review all donated materials to determine if any of the materials are to
be added to the collection. If the donated materials do not meet the selection
criteria to be added to the library collection, the materials become the property of
the Moorpark Friends of the Library.
9. Withdrawal of Materials
Damaged, worn, obsolete, superseded, or unused items may be withdrawn from
the Library upon the written recommendation of the City Librarian with the written
approval of the City Representative.
Weeding and/or disposal of library materials shall be at the discretion of the City
Representative. Recommendation regarding resale, donation, or disposal of
weeded material will be made by the City Librarian and approved by the City
Representative prior to undertaking the following procedural options:
A. Materials determined worthy of re-sale or donation shall be offered to the
Friends of the Moorpark City Library for the purpose of sale(s) with all
proceeds to benefit the Moorpark-City-Library. -Items that remain unsold
22
are the responsibility of the Moorpark Friends of the Library who will
dispose of the material.
B. If the Friends of the Moorpark Library do not accept the discards worthy of
re-sale or donation, the City, at its sole discretion, shall held--book
salesdiscard or donate the material to non-profit, charitable organizations
as determined by the City Representative.
C. Books determined not worthy of re-sale or donation will be appropriately
disposed of by the City as determined by the Moorpark City
representative. Any material that can be recycled will be recycled.
10. Reconsideration of Materials
Persons objecting to the content of materials in the Library shall be invited to
state their objection in writing and addressed to the Moorpark City Library. Any
request for reconsideration will be reviewed by the City Librarian in consultation
with the City Representative. The decision of the City Librarian shall be final.

1. Introduction
The Moorpark City Library (Library) provides the opportunity for public access to

expand their knowledge beyond the traditional "walls" of the Library.
The following policy governs the use of public computer resources in the
Moor-par 6ity-Library, including public Internet access, library workstations and
library laptop computers, non-Internet applications, wireless access (Wi-Fi), and
remote use of the library's technology offerings.

persons may find offensive. While the City will take precautions to regulate
intemet access by minors on the City's library computers, the City is not
responsible for anything that any library user may see or read while in the Library
that the user or, in the case of minors, the user's parents or legal guardian, may
find offensive. The City is not responsible for a minor that brings into the library a
wireless capable device that permits access to Wi-Fi, which is unfiltered and
unsecured. The City urges parents or legal guardians to accompany their
children while visiting the Library to ensure that their children are safe at all

evaluating the quality and accuracy of material obtained from the Internet.

may be exposed to explicit material.
The Library expressly disclaims and shall have no liability for any direct, indirect,
or consequential damages related to information obtained from the Internet. All
users shall expressly assume the risk of receiving incorrect, inaccurate,
defective, fraudulent, or unlawful information while accessing the Internet through
any equipment or service offered by the City of Moorpark.
Wireless Internet users must agree to the wireless network user agreement, the
wording of which shall be approved by the City Manager or his/her designee,
before accessing the Library's network with their own wireless capable devices.
To protect their privacy, Internet users are advised to log off at the end of their
session.
4. Internet Access
Access on most of the Library computers is filtered as to sexually explicit content.
Adult patrons, by default, have unfiltered access for themselves. A parent or
legal guardian for children under the age of 18 shall designate, upon completing
and signing the library card application in the presence of Library staff, whether
they authorize unfiltered access to the Internet. Without this authorization, no
minor shall be issued a card with unfiltered Internet access.
24
Users whose conduct while using public computer systems is disruptive or
interferes with the use of the Library by others, will be asked to modify their
behavior or, if unable to modify their behavior, will be asked to leave the Library.
The City Library reserves the right to revoke or suspend computer privileges in
the case of failure to comply with this policy or the violation of local, state, or
federal law. The Library may suspend privileges by a minor without notification
to the parent or legal guardian. In addition, unlawful activities will be reported to
the Ventura County Sheriffs department and dealt with appropriately.

Moorpark Library Board November meeting
> Moorpark Friends of the Library board update:
•
o Rosalie Barili has assumed her duties as new president.
o We are still working on finding a secretary.
o Dona Pugh,our treasurer,is doing the minutes until we find a new secretary.
o Sandi Thompson, social media coordinator,continues to do an excellent job expanding our
social media presence.
o Rosalie has retained her position of newsletter coordinator.
o Francine continues doing a fantastic job with membership development, increasing our total
members to 90,including more premier memberships.
o Mike Fenerin is Book Sales Coordinator,a short name for a big job!
➢ Finances remain in good shape with over$50,000 in checking and savings. $15,000 put into Vanguard
balanced fund for long-term growth. Further investments up to an additional $15,000 will be made
depending on market conditions.
> Book store and book sales are going well with Mike,Francine and Linda,and a strong core of
volunteers.
o Country Days sales were very good, generating over$400.
o Planned book sale booth at the Civil War event was cancelled. While we had many history and
military books,there were not enough actual Civil War books to attract buyers of this special
category.
o Online book sales diminished,probably due to increased competition.
➢ The Comedy Event at the I-ISAC was a success in attendance and audience evaluation,as well as
financially. Feedback from attendees has been unanimously enthusiastic,and net proceeds were
approximately$1,600. Therefore, at the special wrap-up meeting,the MFOTL board decided to plan
for the fifth annual comedy event in October 2016. Suzy Leziak and Sandi Thompson have volunteered
to be Co-Chairs.
> We continue to publicize the Rotary program supporting Moorpark Friends of the Library membership
growth and library card penetration among grammar school students,through the newsletter,entails to
members,our website, and Facebook page.
> New initiatives under development/consideration:
o Potential Girl Scout reading program
o Amazon Smile donation program
o New teacher discount for children's books in the bookstore at$5/bag has been implemented
o Outreach to potential members through one-time emailed newsletters.
