PUBLIC HEARINGS/GENERAL BUSINESS
2 16-0612 Overview of Harwood Public Innovators Lab Training
Director Bojorquez commented that staff members recently attended the Harwood
Public Innovator's Lab training. Director Bojorquez welcomed Librarian Christina
Shin to the meeting. Librarian Shin provided the Board with an overview of the
training that took place May 23-25 in Sacramento. Approximately 100 library
professionals attended the training which ncluded: librarians, directors,
administrators, library trustee members and council members. The training is
based on Harwood's "Libraries Transform" campaign that focuses on transitioning
libraries from being an inward focus organization to an outward focus organization.
It also focuses on helping libraries build relationships with their communities and
how to serve their communities outside of the library building. Staff have identified
short-term goals and have established an action plan to help assist with applying
some of Harwood's practices for the Branch Library Project. Board Members
expressed their enthusiasm regarding the campaign and inquired if staff would be
training City Council and other City staff. Director Bojorquez indicated that the
immediate focus will be to train a team of Library and Community Services staff and
have them build a relationship with North Sunnyvale.
Chair Shanmugasundaram opend the public hearing, and there being no public
