Goal PF-5: The City’s public libraries serve as centralized hubs for educational and social services.

POLICY: Adequate library services and staffing. Ensure adequate library services, staffing, and facilities are maintained for all residents.

POLICY: Library community hubs. Promote the library as a community hub for culturally and linguistically competent educational and social services as well as information about City programs (e.g., tenant-landlord mediation, home repairs, disaster preparedness).

POLICY: Literacy programming. Provide inclusive programming, technological resources, and services at libraries to promote literacy and support educational outcomes of K-12 students.

POLICY: Culturally-relevant library collections. Maintain library collections that reflect the languages, cultures, and ethnicities found in the community. Expand programs that connect residents not currently visiting the libraries to book selections of diverse authors.

POLICY: Library-based outreach on existing public services. Partner with local agencies and organizations to use library spaces to provide residents with access to information about City, County, and non-profit programs and resources.

POLICY: Library learning and evaluation. Develop customer service surveys to use to evaluate and improve library programs and events.
