SPECIAL TELECONFERENCE MEETING OF THE SACRAMENTO

NORTH SACRAMENTO - HAGGINWOOD LIBRARY UPDATEThe City of Sacramento has been exploring options for the North Sacramento - Hagginwood (NSA) Library for sometime. At the August 13, 2019, City Council Meeting, Resolution No. 2019-0320 was adopted to establish the NorthSacramento Library Relocation Capital Improvement Project. The current leased 4,000 square foot building isinadequate and does not meet community needs outside of the COVID-19 public health emergency. The currentlease expired on March 31, 2020. The owner of the North Sacramento-Hagginwood Library, who bought the buildingsight unseen, has demanded a substantial lease increase, above the 6,000 per month the Library already pays, andwe are not in a position to pay the increased rent. We have proceeded with a month to month lease until issues canbe resolved.In July 2020, staff toured the Sacramento News & Review building with the City’s Facilities and EconomicDevelopment Departments to assess whether it might serve as a potential new location for NSA. At 17,000 squarefeet, this location could serve as a full-service library, offering space for dedicated children's and teen's areas, studyrooms, makerspace, community room, and partnerships with other community organizations.Per the Joint Exercise Powers of Authority, the City of Sacramento would be responsible for acquiring the building(purchase or lease), and funding the tenant improvements required to outfit the building as a library. Staff areworking closely with City of Sacramento and have provided input on operational costs, design considerations, andrequirements for operating a library in the space. There have been no commitments to acquire or relocate thelibrary to this location, but we are optimistic about how things are progressing and will provide additionalinformation to the Board at the February meeting.ORANGEVALE LIBRARY EXPANSION UPDATEThe long-awaited expansion of the Orangevale library began in July 2020. The expansion will add new features tobetter meet the needs of the community, make the library fully ADA accessible and nearly double its footprint from4,320 square feet to 7,910 square feet. The project has experienced delays. The original project called for thebuilding to be turned over to the Library for outfitting in October 2020. Unfortunately, due to structural changes andpermitting issues, the new date to turn over the facility to the Library is March 2021. After the building is turnedover, the Library will begin outfitting the space with furniture, fixtures, equipment, and collections. Staff estimatethe outfitting will be completed by June 2021.WORKING SCHOLARSIn early 2020, Sacramento Public Library was identified as one of three California public library systems to pilot anonline bachelor’s degree program to be offered to qualifying Career Online High School (COHS)* graduates. Thebachelor’s degree program through Working Scholars is fully accredited with the equivalent of the AA degree fundedby the California State Library and the upper division work funded by Sacramento Public Library. This fully accreditedprogram provides the flexibility and affordability to earn the degree needed to pursue promotions and/or a Master’sdegree.There are seven COHS graduates participating in Working Scholars. The California State Library liaison recentlyinformed us that an SPL student is doing very well:“the person who has completed the MOST courses over the past year is a COHS grad from Sacramento Public Library.The expected pace is to complete eight courses a year, and he’s completed 20 since last April (2020)! The WorkingScholars folks thought it might be a record .”By offering both an online high school program and an online bachelor’s degree program, the Sacramento PublicLibrary is positioned to fill educational gaps for our adult patrons. We are very proud to be able to offer thisopportunity and even more excited to see the COHS graduates embrace the challenge and excel in their studies.5

*Career Online High School (COHS) is an online high-school diploma/career certificate program Sacramento PublicLibrary has offered to Sacramento County residents, 19 years and older since 2016. We have more than 185 highschool graduates to date.GIFT OF ART FOR RANCHO CORDOVA LIBRARYRancho Cordova Library Branch Supervisor Laura Powell, Cathy Crosthwaite and Rivkah Sass got to go on an artshopping spree thanks to the Cordova Community Council.
