The Sandy Library is a
community-gathering place for over 13,000 card-holding patrons. The library
provides over 52,000 holdings including books, magazines, audiocassettes,
videos, DVDs, compact discs, Internet access and reference assistance in a
friendly, customer-oriented atmosphere. Support of the library’s budget is
circulation and population-based, and is funded through the Clackamas County
general fund (formerly the library levy), fines, donations and miscellaneous
fees.

PAST GOALS |
ACCOMPLISHMENTS |
|
Maintain excellent service practices, in
spite of decreased hours and funding levels. |
In spite of our funding shortage,
we’ve been able to replace/relocate our computers with used ones donated by
Nautilus, Intel and Starseed Foundation.
Hours: Because of the 04 levy failure; we eliminated 1 FTE and therefore had
to decrease our hours by 18 per week in January 05. With the help of the
Friends, we established a volunteer program to assist with the daily
Interlibrary loan. We were able to add back 5 more service hours. At 56 per
week, we are above Oregon State Library’s “adequate” level, even though we
are under their “threshold” level for staffing. |
| Establish Internet and software program
training classes to increase technology confidence in library staff, so
that our service to patrons will be more consistent. |
We’ve had several staff
development meetings on new equipment and new web services. |
Continue the development of programs for
children
|
We’ve developed and delivered
programs in partnership with Starseed and the school district, to reach each
grade level, kindergarten through high school. |
|
| OBJECTIVES FOR
THE NEXT BIENNIUM |
Consistent with the council goals for 07-09,
the library has established its own goals:
 | Replace computers as recommended by
Network staff. We’ve come a long way with the donated computers we have
now, but with the release of the Vista operating system, and the new
Integrated library system coming this summer, we must beef up our
infrastructure. (Council Goal #1: Improve the city’s infrastructure to
meet current standards and provide for managed future growth.). |
| Train all staff on the new computer
system and in new software programs: Envisionware, debt collect,
statistical reports, etc. (Council goal #1: Improve the city’s
infrastructure to meet current standards and provide for managed future
growth, Council goal #2: Manage growth pressures through careful
planning). |
| Make needed repairs to building: roof,
doors, flooring, carpeting (Council goal #1: Improve the city’s
infrastructure to meet current standards and provide for managed future
growth). |
| Continue to build on our outreach
programs. This will include careful consideration of current program
funding, and contracting with an individual to administer outreach,
including outreach to the business community (Council Goal #3; Build the
city’s tax base by supporting and expanding the business community,
Council Goal #4: Build on the city’s superb quality of life). |
| Add more shelving to the adult fiction
area. Move the back wall computers to a position closer to the front desk,
remodel front desk area (Council Goal #1: Improve the city’s
infrastructure to meet current standards and provide for managed future
growth, Council Goal #2: Manage growth pressures through careful
planning). |
| Plan for growth. This involves growth in
physical space, collection size (reach 85,000 items by 2015—Oregon State
Library excellent level), staffing levels and service to the community.
(See the Library Board’s vision for the library in 2015) (Council Goal #1:
Improve the city’s infrastructure to meet current standards and provide
for managed future growth). |
| Consider relocating the police station
(Council Goal #2: Manage growth pressures through careful planning).
