Agenda 09/26/2023 Item #16D 6 (Approve the submittal of the FY23-24 State Aid to Library Grant16.D.6 09/26/2023 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to approve the submittal of the FY23-24 State Aid to Library Grant along with the 2023- 2027 Strategic Plan and other documentation required for grant application submission and authorize the Chairman to sign grant agreement #24-ST-08 and all certifications required for the submission of the grant application to the Florida Department of State, Division of Library and Information Services for funding in the estimated amount of $139,834. (Public Services Grant Fund 1839) OBJECTIVE: To obtain State Aid to Libraries Grant funds to support the operations of the Collier County Public Library System. CONSIDERATIONS: Collier County Public Library (CCPL) qualifies for State Aid to Libraries under Chapter 257 of the Florida Statutes. The Florida Department of State, Division of Library and Information Services administers this program. The Grant Agreement, the 2023-2027 Strategic Plan, and the 2023-2024 Annual Plan of Service are required elements to receive State Funding. The Board of County Commissioners (Board) has approved the application for State Aid and associated contracts and documents for over three (3) decades. The Florida Department of State, Division of Library and Information Services has estimated the award to Collier County Public Library to be an amount of $139,834. State Aid is available to Florida public library systems that qualify because of meeting minimum requirements as stipulated in Chapter 257, Fla. Stat. and Chapter 113-2, Florida Administrative Code. The grant amount is calculated using a formula that considers (1) the amount of local funds appropriated for the Library adjusted by a factor based on the amount of revenue one mill levy in the jurisdiction would generate, (2) the number of library systems in Florida that qualify in a given year, and (3) the total amount made available by the State Legislature to improve library services within the State. Funds are intended to supplement, rather than replace, local efforts toward that end. State Aid may not be used to fund capital construction. It may be used for Personnel Expenses (salaries, wages, and related employee benefits), Operating Expenses (goods and services), Non -Fixed Capital outlay and other (operating expenditures categories in the library budget) expenditures, and equipment. When the final award is made, and the executed agreements are received, Budget Amendments will be prepared and presented to the Board. FISCAL IMPACT: Preliminary estimates show that Collier County Public Library should receive about $139,834 in State Aid. Upon notification of the grant award, the Board will be asked to accept the grant and approve the budget amendment to recognize the revenue and appropriate the expenditures. There is no match required for this grant. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been approved as to form and legality and requires a majority vote for Board approval. -DDP GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management impact due to this request. RECOMMENDATION: To approve the submittal of the FY23-24 State Aid to Library Grant along with the 2023-2027 Strategic Plan and other documentation required for grant application submission and authorize the Chairman to sign grant agreement #24-ST-08 and all certifications required for the submission of the grant application to the Florida Department of State, Division of Library and Information Services for funding in the estimated amount of $139,834.

There are three municipalities within Collier County: Everglades City, Marco Island, and Naples, which is the County seat. According to the 2020 Census, the population of Collier County is 375,752 and was ranked the 19th most populous county in Florida. By 2024, the population is expected to increase by 7.1%. (2022 Collier County Economic Development Office.) According to the U. S. Census Bureau, Collier County is the largest county out of 67 counties in Florida by land and water area, with approximately 2,305 square miles and is larger than the state of Rhode Island. Collier County is known as the Paradise Coast and is rich in geographic diversity, from beaches to Big Cypress National Preserve and Everglades National Park. Collier County's beaches, tropical climate, and rich geographic and biological diversity make it one of the premier tourisms and retirement destinations within the continental United States. Currently Collier County is experiencing unprecedented real estate growth, resulting in median home listing prices of $599,000. The average annual rental is now $2,400.00 per month (Rizzo, Tiffany. Wink News.com. Feb 17, 2022) The Friends of the Library (FOL) and Library Advisory Board (LAB) work collaboratively to support the Collier County Public Library. The Friends of the Library is a nonprofit organization that began in 1957 to establish a free public library system in Collier County. Their diligent efforts helped create what is now the Collier County Public Library System with three large regional libraries and seven smaller branches. The Library Advisory Board advises the Board of County Commissioners on the operations and proposed budget for the Collier County Public Library. Board membership, composed of five members to represent five Collier districts, serves as a voice for county constituents and seasonal visitors. Monthly meetings are open to the public. The LAB also identifies, evaluates and recommends services and programs that are in alignment with our vision and mission. (Florida Code of Ordinances #88-71-Section 82-32 and Ordinance 93-86 Functions Power and Duties - Collier County) Collier County Public Library Division's vision: "Through high quality libraries, residents and visitors will reach their potential and communities will thrive." Collier County Public Library Division's mission: "To provide educational environments, facilitate community engagement and cultivate life-long learning." Upd. 8/10/2023 4:12:30 PM Packet Pg. 1632 16.D.6.b Collier County Public Library Division Overview The Collier County Library Division provides library collections, services, and technology to residents and visitors within three (3) regional libraries and seven (7) branch libraries. In doing so, the Division manages and supports ten (10) library facilities servicing the county. All locations offer book lending, public internet stations, printing, photocopying, free Wi-Fi, and 24/7 drop boxes for book and video returns. https://www.colIierlibrarV.org/locations/ In Fiscal Year 2021 the Library Division: • Circulated 1,261,897 physical materials • Provided public internet access to 1,554,532 people • Provided the use of more than 1,000,000 electronic materials • Served 619,300 people who visited our libraries during pandemic reduced hours and temporary closures • Scheduled and conducted 950 in -person programs to 137,165 attendees • Logged 69,545 wireless internet sessions • Created 592 active virtual programs with 37,369 virtual attendees • Logged more than 550,000 visits to our website • Issued over 10,000 new library cards for a total of 188,178 library card holders The disruptions caused by the pandemic created challenges for library leaders, staff and patrons as they shifted to accommodate staffing changes and the increased training needs that supported new work environments and service delivery models. As a result of the pandemic and an increased cost of living locally, we find that we are still dealing with staffing imbalances. Several factors that continue to challenge library services and programming include the pandemic, unplanned resignations and time off of work related to the pandemic, and an increased cost of living. We see these continuing to impact our strategic plan for the next five years as we continue to adapt to new challenges. The 2021-2022 fiscal year operating from October 1 to September 30, saw the first increase in circulation since the pandemic. We also continue to see an increase in usage of electronic books and virtual databases a consequence of the surge and resurge of the pandemic. One of the positive effects of COVID has been that our patrons now embrace the independence of online resources and services. During the ongoing effects of the pandemic, the library has offered free internet services to all that visit Collier County, which has significantly assisted individuals and families in accessing supplemental resources and programs for those who are experiencing financial fragility. As supported by our most recent customer service survey, patrons consider the library a welcoming place, supported by informed and customer focused staff. Patrons told us they can easily access and use our online services and resources. Upd. 8/10/2023 4:12:30 PM Packet Pg. 1633 16.D.6.b Collier County libraries were proactive with implementing a much -needed virtual presence to complement the decrease in our face-to-face programming and how patrons acquire and use library material. We expanded our online library experiences for staff and the community. As our library visits have increased, it has been a challenge to maintain both a strong face-to-face and virtual presence, with the reality of reduced staffing. Potential library applicants are faced with costly rentals and a generally high cost of living in Collier County as they make employment decisions. As we continue to support technically challenged populations through the current pandemic, it is imperative that the lessons learned are tracked and analyzed to prepare us, not only for the next crisis, but also for our everyday practices in our immediate future. For our younger patrons, we adjusted our 2021 Summer Reading Program due to the pandemic. We made available more make -and -take crafts and educational supplements. We also created more children's virtual programs. Despite COVID, there were 2,861 patrons (974 adult patrons, 324 teen patrons and 1563 children) who registered for our 2021 summer reading program. They read 38,249 books (4,870 adult books, 2,569 teen books, 30,810 children's books) between June 1 and August 14. Students from over fifty (50) Collier County Schools participated in our summer reading program. As families depend more on their community libraries, we anticipate more patron participation in coming years. Purpose of this Strategic Plan This plan articulates a clear vision of the future goals for staff and for the public. It will be used as the primary aid in maintaining consistency between our words and our actions. The message from our patron survey was that our patrons know what our library services should demonstrate and deliver. The library must evolve in ways that keep pace with the diversity of library users, ensuring all residents and visitors of Collier County have equal access to the continuously evolving world of ideas and technology. This Strategic Plan creates a framework for how the library will respond to the aspirations, needs, concerns and opportunities of the community that is served by the library. Due to the pandemic, increased resignations, and high cost of living in Collier County, libraries are on the cusp of a great transformation. We need to respond in timely and responsible ways to our patrons' evolving needs. There have been many changes in how people access and use information, rely upon our e-resources, interact with one another and in the resources, tools and capabilities needed to operate effectively. All of this requires new accommodating approaches to library services and resources. Upd. 8/10/2023 4:12:30 PM Packet Pg. 1634 16.D.6.b Planning Process The scope of work described below is intended to provide a general understanding of the Collier County Public Library Division's (CCPL) expectations for the Five -Year Strategic Plan. Our Public Services Director and our Library Director put together a team of librarians and marketing members to assist the completion of a new Five -Year Strategic Plan. The team prepared a needs assessment that included surveys, focus groups, Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis and the formation of a comprehensive library strategic plan. The plan will create a guide with proposed standards, based on industry best practices and consistent with the identified needs and opportunities in the County, for ensuring an appropriate and equitable balance of book lending (both books and e-books), library apps, programs, facilities, and printing amenities. The plan will also include measurable strategies to achieve the recommendations, goals, policies, and guidelines that will result in the appropriate balance of materials, programs and facility usage. The Strategic Planning Team had available to them as resources: A. A comprehensive 2018-2022 CCPL Strategic Plan B. Annual Plan of Service Scorecard Template C. Strategic Planning resources from national, state and local government entities and associations The experienced staff members worked closely with county staff in preparing the needs assessment and action plan. The staff members created a full report and executive summary for public distribution. This process included developing a comprehensive inventory, an analysis of forecasted needs and opportunities, recommendations, implementation strategies, and project schedule for the strategic plan development and completion. Project Schedule The Collier County Public Library anticipated conducting the project, up to the point of the adoption process, over a period of not more than six (6) months, starting in March 2022. The project addressed the scope of work and included an approximate timeline for completing each of the individual tasks, up to the point of the adoption process. Any additional tasks or other changes to the scope of work recommended by the Strategic Planning Team should be indicated in the project schedule.

The goal of the assessment is to gain as much insight from resident populations, exempt and non-exempt staff and to discover what matters most to our users. Are we doing the right things? Are we doing things right? If not, why not? The Strategic Planning Team was recruited in February 2022 and immediately planned focus group meetings and survey assessments. This was quickly followed up with staff table -top discussions. A formal online staff survey was developed with eighty (80) of eighty-four (84) surveys completed by mid- March. The team simultaneously focused on surveying patrons and non -library users with questions about services on social media and our web page. We took advantage of outreach opportunities to survey non -library users. The patron survey closed in April 2022, and we had over 700 public responses received. Upd. 8/10/2023 4:12:30 PM Packet Pg. 1637 16.D.6.b Current and futures needs were recognized in these key areas: 1. Locations and Facilities: Maintain and improve upon safety and security at existing libraries. Identify and prioritize current library sites that need immediate renovation such as sidewalks, parking lots, lawn irrigation system and landscape features. In addition, restore and sustainably manage libraries within Collier County for the benefit of present and future generations. 2. Programming and Services: Create a more inclusive and engaged library culture for all patrons. Encourage Collier County residents to actively participate in borrowing materials, planning programs, and stewardship of Collier County Public Library resources. Efficiently provide for the Collier County Public Library interests of Collier County residents, utilizing and accessing public resources 24/7. Strive to meet the unmet needs for library programs and services in the County through the development and implementation of best practices. Improve and expand educational opportunities by developing new programs and services, improving existing programs and services, and developing and implementing best practices. Promote the education of Collier County populations through physical and online subscription resources purchased through the library to meet the needs of the residents and visitors of Collier County. 3. Marketing — overall public relations, social media, community outreach: Continue providing effective community outreach and marketing for increasing public awareness and support of library services. Increasing awareness of Library services and programs to ensure that the public continues to appreciate the importance and benefits of CCPL to our community and is well informed about library offerings. Communicate the value of partnerships to potential funders and the community. Build on the power of virtual engagement to shape engagement opportunities going forward. For our diverse populations provide marketing material in multiple languages with easy accessibility. 4. Community Engagement -Invite participation to all by engaging with community members where they are, whether in the library building, online environment or community partners' spaces. Build stronger community engagement strategies with supporters, donors and volunteers to advance the mission of CCPL. Increase collaborations with partners like the FOL. Build -sustainable and impactful partnerships with public and private sector organizations and institutions through outreach and collaborations. Upd. 8/10/2023 4:12:30 PM Packet Pg. 1638 16.D.6.b 5. Staffing- Train staff to share job functions and responsibilities and anticipate emerging needs. Be flexible in the division of roles responsibilities and embrace new ways of working. Learn how to operate in a constantly changing environment. Restructure to align with County strategies. Develop structured and relevant staff training and leadership opportunities throughout CCPL. Identify opportunities for career development and encourage the heart of staff. Correlate staffing levels with circulation, visitation, and user statistics. Focus on building professional staff by maintaining marketing and outreach staff, include dedicated branch managers and librarians. Upgrade administrative processes for staff, monthly schedules, timecards and travel forms. Look for and encourage internal and external county recruitment opportunities that align more with staff's interest, growth and development. 6. Open Hours & Days —Continue to survey the community for unmet needs. The current survey data showed that we are meeting the needs of the community. Core level services and library should be open daily. Each library should be open one day per weekend. (Evening hours, staffing levels, and evening programming are necessary to balance user needs). 7. Technology —realize the full potential of digital resources by improving upon the existing technology. Simplify access to digital resources by creating a single point of entry. Recognize the urgency to support those who do not have the tools or skills to operate online. Library should be at the forefront of everything technological. Update payment processes and public document stations with upgraded scanning/faxing/printing/copy. 8. Computers & Internet —many computer work areas and labs are retrofitted into existing spaces. Dedicated private or enhanced semi -private labs at each library, enhanced WiFi, and wireless services should be a goal. 9. Hub Libraries —specific areas of concentration, expertise and relevant programming. Genealogy hub and homework help centers through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grant 10. Children to Young Adult —growth and expansion in materials, resources, programs, and staff dedicated to these age groups. Create continuity throughout all locations with staffing and storytellers for programming. Build on existing county partnerships and expand outreach services to provide educational opportunities for children of all ages. Upd. 8/10/2023 4:12:30 PM Packet Pg. 1639 16.D.6.b 11. Collections —Work to create a policy for collection management that is more precise and more accurate to the needs of our users. Increase access to digital resources and establish an increased revenue sources for operational expenses. (Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR) - per capita of 1.87. upgrade ILS system) The key themes listed above emerged to guide the development of the 2023-2027 Collier County Public Library Strategic Plan. Current and futures needs were recognized in these key recommendations from the survey. Input from the community and library staff guided the development of the major components of the Strategic Plan.

There are three municipalities within Collier County: Everglades City, Marco Island, and Naples, which is the County seat. According to the 2020 Census, the population of Collier County is 375,752 and was ranked the 19th most populous county in Florida. By 2024, the population is expected to increase by 7.1%. (2022 Collier County Economic Development Office.) According to the U. S. Census Bureau, Collier County is the largest county out of 67 counties in Florida by land and water area, with approximately 2,305 square miles and is larger than the state of Rhode Island. Collier County is known as the Paradise Coast and is rich in geographic diversity, from beaches to Big Cypress National Preserve and Everglades National Park. Collier County's beaches, tropical climate, and rich geographic and biological diversity make it one of the premier tourisms and retirement destinations within the continental United States. Currently Collier County is experiencing unprecedented real estate growth, resulting in median home listing prices of $599,000. The average annual rental is now $2,400.00 per month (Rizzo, Tiffany. Wink News.com. Feb 17, 2022) The Friends of the Library (FOL) and Library Advisory Board (LAB) work collaboratively to support the Collier County Public Library. The Friends of the Library is a nonprofit organization that began in 1957 to establish a free public library system in Collier County. Their diligent efforts helped create what is now the Collier County Public Library System with three large regional libraries and seven smaller branches. The Library Advisory Board advises the Board of County Commissioners on the operations and proposed budget for the Collier County Public Library. Board membership, composed of five members to represent five Collier districts, serves as a voice for county constituents and seasonal visitors. Monthly meetings are open to the public. The LAB also identifies, evaluates and recommends services and programs that are in alignment with our vision and mission. (Florida Code of Ordinances #88-71-Section 82-32 and Ordinance 93-86 Functions Power and Duties - Collier County) Collier County Public Library Division's vision: "Through high quality libraries, residents and visitors will reach their potential and communities will thrive." Collier County Public Library Division's mission: "To provide educational environments, facilitate community engagement and cultivate life-long learning." Upd. 8/10/2023 4:12:30 PM Collier County Public Library Division Overview The Collier County Library Division provides library collections, services, and technology to residents and visitors within three (3) regional libraries and seven (7) branch libraries. In doing so, the Division manages and supports ten (10) library facilities servicing the county. All locations offer book lending, public internet stations, printing, photocopying, free Wi-Fi, and 24/7 drop boxes for book and video returns. https://www.colIierlibrarV.org/locations/ In Fiscal Year 2021 the Library Division: • Circulated 1,261,897 physical materials • Provided public internet access to 1,554,532 people • Provided the use of more than 1,000,000 electronic materials • Served 619,300 people who visited our libraries during pandemic reduced hours and temporary closures • Scheduled and conducted 950 in -person programs to 137,165 attendees • Logged 69,545 wireless internet sessions • Created 592 active virtual programs with 37,369 virtual attendees • Logged more than 550,000 visits to our website • Issued over 10,000 new library cards for a total of 188,178 library card holders The disruptions caused by the pandemic created challenges for library leaders, staff and patrons as they shifted to accommodate staffing changes and the increased training needs that supported new work environments and service delivery models. As a result of the pandemic and an increased cost of living locally, we find that we are still dealing with staffing imbalances. Several factors that continue to challenge library services and programming include the pandemic, unplanned resignations and time off of work related to the pandemic, and an increased cost of living. We see these continuing to impact our strategic plan for the next five years as we continue to adapt to new challenges. The 2021-2022 fiscal year operating from October 1 to September 30, saw the first increase in circulation since the pandemic. We also continue to see an increase in usage of electronic books and virtual databases a consequence of the surge and resurge of the pandemic. One of the positive effects of COVID has been that our patrons now embrace the independence of online resources and services. During the ongoing effects of the pandemic, the library has offered free internet services to all that visit Collier County, which has significantly assisted individuals and families in accessing supplemental resources and programs for those who are experiencing financial fragility. As supported by our most recent customer service survey, patrons consider the library a welcoming place, supported by informed and customer focused staff. Patrons told us they can easily access and use our online services and resources. Upd. 8/10/2023 4:12:30 PM Collier County libraries were proactive with implementing a much -needed virtual presence to complement the decrease in our face-to-face programming and how patrons acquire and use library material. We expanded our online library experiences for staff and the community. As our library visits have increased, it has been a challenge to maintain both a strong face-to-face and virtual presence, with the reality of reduced staffing. Potential library applicants are faced with costly rentals and a generally high cost of living in Collier County as they make employment decisions. As we continue to support technically challenged populations through the current pandemic, it is imperative that the lessons learned are tracked and analyzed to prepare us, not only for the next crisis, but also for our everyday practices in our immediate future. For our younger patrons, we adjusted our 2021 Summer Reading Program due to the pandemic. We made available more make -and -take crafts and educational supplements. We also created more children's virtual programs. Despite COVID, there were 2,861 patrons (974 adult patrons, 324 teen patrons and 1563 children) who registered for our 2021 summer reading program. They read 38,249 books (4,870 adult books, 2,569 teen books, 30,810 children's books) between June 1 and August 14. Students from over fifty (50) Collier County Schools participated in our summer reading program. As families depend more on their community libraries, we anticipate more patron participation in coming years. Purpose of this Strategic Plan This plan articulates a clear vision of the future goals for staff and for the public. It will be used as the primary aid in maintaining consistency between our words and our actions. The message from our patron survey was that our patrons know what our library services should demonstrate and deliver. The library must evolve in ways that keep pace with the diversity of library users, ensuring all residents and visitors of Collier County have equal access to the continuously evolving world of ideas and technology. This Strategic Plan creates a framework for how the library will respond to the aspirations, needs, concerns and opportunities of the community that is served by the library. Due to the pandemic, increased resignations, and high cost of living in Collier County, libraries are on the cusp of a great transformation. We need to respond in timely and responsible ways to our patrons' evolving needs. There have been many changes in how people access and use information, rely upon our e-resources, interact with one another and in the resources, tools and capabilities needed to operate effectively. All of this requires new accommodating approaches to library services and resources. Upd. 8/10/2023 4:12:30 PM Planning Process The scope of work described below is intended to provide a general understanding of the Collier County Public Library Division's (CCPL) expectations for the Five -Year Strategic Plan. Our Public Services Director and our Library Director put together a team of librarians and marketing members to assist the completion of a new Five -Year Strategic Plan. The team prepared a needs assessment that included surveys, focus groups, Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis and the formation of a comprehensive library strategic plan. The plan will create a guide with proposed standards, based on industry best practices and consistent with the identified needs and opportunities in the County, for ensuring an appropriate and equitable balance of book lending (both books and e-books), library apps, programs, facilities, and printing amenities. The plan will also include measurable strategies to achieve the recommendations, goals, policies, and guidelines that will result in the appropriate balance of materials, programs and facility usage. The Strategic Planning Team had available to them as resources: A. A comprehensive 2018-2022 CCPL Strategic Plan B. Annual Plan of Service Scorecard Template C. Strategic Planning resources from national, state and local government entities and associations The experienced staff members worked closely with county staff in preparing the needs assessment and action plan. The staff members created a full report and executive summary for public distribution. This process included developing a comprehensive inventory, an analysis of forecasted needs and opportunities, recommendations, implementation strategies, and project schedule for the strategic plan development and completion. Project Schedule The Collier County Public Library anticipated conducting the project, up to the point of the adoption process, over a period of not more than six (6) months, starting in March 2022. The project addressed the scope of work and included an approximate timeline for completing each of the individual tasks, up to the point of the adoption process. Any additional tasks or other changes to the scope of work recommended by the Strategic Planning Team should be indicated in the project schedule.

Final report (complete with all photos, text, maps, exhibits, and appendix), and presentation to the Library Advisory Board, and the Board of County Commissioners that is both informative and visually appealing Goals and Outcomes The Library would embark on several surveys and focus group assessments and use the results to help guide the long-term goals of the Library. The goal of the assessment is to gain as much insight from resident populations, exempt and non-exempt staff and to discover what matters most to our users. Are we doing the right things? Are we doing things right? If not, why not? The Strategic Planning Team was recruited in February 2022 and immediately planned focus group meetings and survey assessments. This was quickly followed up with staff table -top discussions. A formal online staff survey was developed with eighty (80) of eighty-four (84) surveys completed by mid- March. The team simultaneously focused on surveying patrons and non -library users with questions about services on social media and our web page. We took advantage of outreach opportunities to survey non -library users. The patron survey closed in April 2022, and we had over 700 public responses received. Upd. 8/10/2023 4:12:30 PM Current and futures needs were recognized in these key areas: 1. Locations and Facilities: Maintain and improve upon safety and security at existing libraries. Identify and prioritize current library sites that need immediate renovation such as sidewalks, parking lots, lawn irrigation system and landscape features. In addition, restore and sustainably manage libraries within Collier County for the benefit of present and future generations. 2. Programming and Services: Create a more inclusive and engaged library culture for all patrons. Encourage Collier County residents to actively participate in borrowing materials, planning programs, and stewardship of Collier County Public Library resources. Efficiently provide for the Collier County Public Library interests of Collier County residents, utilizing and accessing public resources 24/7. Strive to meet the unmet needs for library programs and services in the County through the development and implementation of best practices. Improve and expand educational opportunities by developing new programs and services, improving existing programs and services, and developing and implementing best practices. Promote the education of Collier County populations through physical and online subscription resources purchased through the library to meet the needs of the residents and visitors of Collier County. 3. Marketing — overall public relations, social media, community outreach: Continue providing effective community outreach and marketing for increasing public awareness and support of library services. Increasing awareness of Library services and programs to ensure that the public continues to appreciate the importance and benefits of CCPL to our community and is well informed about library offerings. Communicate the value of partnerships to potential funders and the community. Build on the power of virtual engagement to shape engagement opportunities going forward. For our diverse populations provide marketing material in multiple languages with easy accessibility. 4. Community Engagement -Invite participation to all by engaging with community members where they are, whether in the library building, online environment or community partners' spaces. Build stronger community engagement strategies with supporters, donors and volunteers to advance the mission of CCPL. Increase collaborations with partners like the FOL. Build -sustainable and impactful partnerships with public and private sector organizations and institutions through outreach and collaborations. Upd. 8/10/2023 4:12:30 PM 5. Staffing- Train staff to share job functions and responsibilities and anticipate emerging needs. Be flexible in the division of roles responsibilities and embrace new ways of working. Learn how to operate in a constantly changing environment. Restructure to align with County strategies. Develop structured and relevant staff training and leadership opportunities throughout CCPL. Identify opportunities for career development and encourage the heart of staff. Correlate staffing levels with circulation, visitation, and user statistics. Focus on building professional staff by maintaining marketing and outreach staff, include dedicated branch managers and librarians. Upgrade administrative processes for staff, monthly schedules, timecards and travel forms. Look for and encourage internal and external county recruitment opportunities that align more with staff's interest, growth and development. 6. Open Hours & Days —Continue to survey the community for unmet needs. The current survey data showed that we are meeting the needs of the community. Core level services and library should be open daily. Each library should be open one day per weekend. (Evening hours, staffing levels, and evening programming are necessary to balance user needs). 7. Technology —realize the full potential of digital resources by improving upon the existing technology. Simplify access to digital resources by creating a single point of entry. Recognize the urgency to support those who do not have the tools or skills to operate online. Library should be at the forefront of everything technological. Update payment processes and public document stations with upgraded scanning/faxing/printing/copy. 8. Computers & Internet —many computer work areas and labs are retrofitted into existing spaces. Dedicated private or enhanced semi -private labs at each library, enhanced WiFi, and wireless services should be a goal. 9. Hub Libraries —specific areas of concentration, expertise and relevant programming. Genealogy hub and homework help centers through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grant 10. Children to Young Adult —growth and expansion in materials, resources, programs, and staff dedicated to these age groups. Create continuity throughout all locations with staffing and storytellers for programming. Build on existing county partnerships and expand outreach services to provide educational opportunities for children of all ages. Upd. 8/10/2023 4:12:30 PM 11. Collections —Work to create a policy for collection management that is more precise and more accurate to the needs of our users. Increase access to digital resources and establish an increased revenue sources for operational expenses. (Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR) - per capita of 1.87. upgrade ILS system) The key themes listed above emerged to guide the development of the 2023-2027 Collier County Public Library Strategic Plan. Current and futures needs were recognized in these key recommendations from the survey. Input from the community and library staff guided the development of the major components of the Strategic Plan. The Library Advisory Board viewed and commented on the Collier County Public Library 2023-2027 Strategic Plan during their regular meeting in June 2022. The current US Census data shows Collier County's median age to be 51.8 years compared to the Florida median of 42.4 and the U.S. median of 38.5. Collier County continues to be a favorite tourist destination between November and April. The population increases to around 466,000 people. The seasonal population is projected to around 509,000 people by the year 2025.

With the Library's mission as the primary foundation, its vision as the ideal, and the County's Core Values as guides to decision making, the Collier County Public Library system will commit to a process that ensures accountability, versatility, and rational decision -making. Seeking out the needs and wants of Collier's residents and visitors through surveys and focus groups was the first step. From there it is the Library's responsibility to develop an appropriate strategy to address current needs and plan for the future. The Library Advisory Board (LAB) and Public Services Department will have the primary responsibility to monitor the plan's goals and objectives and assess overall progress. Library staff will have the responsibility of overseeing implementation, consulting, and working with groups directly involved or affected by decisions. Through the course of implementation, new issues, new priorities and challenges will emerge. In a cyclical process Library staff and the LAB will measure progress, budget resources to maximize outcomes, and identify potential new areas that require action. In this way, both the strategic plan and annual plan of service will be constantly reviewed, evaluated, and updated.

With the Library's mission as the primary foundation, its vision as the ideal, and the County's Core Values as guides to decision making, the Collier County Public Library system will commit to a process that ensures accountability, versatility, and rational decision -making. Seeking out the needs and wants of Collier's residents and visitors through a community assessment was the first step. From there it is the Library's responsibility to develop an appropriate strategy to address current needs and plan for the future. The Library Advisory Board (LAB) and Public Services Department will have the primary responsibility to monitor the plan's goals and objectives and assess overall progress. Library staff will have the responsibility of overseeing implementation and consulting, and working with groups directly involved or affected by decisions. Through the course of implementation, new issues, challenges, and ideas will emerge. In a cyclical process Library staff and the LAB will measure progress, budget resources to maximize outcomes, and identify potential new areas that require action. In this way, both the strategic plan and annual plan of service will be constantly reviewed, evaluated, and updated.

(Public Services Grant Fund 1837) OBJECTIVE: To obtain State Aid to Libraries Grant funds to support the operations of the Collier County Public Library System. CONSIDERATIONS: Collier County Public Library (CCPL) qualifies for State Aid to Libraries under Chapter 257 of the Florida Statutes. The Florida Department of State, Division of Library and Information Services administers this program. The Grant Agreement, 2023-2027 Strategic Plan, and the 2023-2024 Annual Plan of Service are required elements to receive State Funding. The Board of County Commissioners ("Board") has approved the application for State Aid and associated contracts and documents for over three decades. The Florida Department of State, Division of Library and Information Services has estimated the award to Collier County Public Library to be an amount of $139,834.00. State Aid is available to Florida public library systems that qualify because of meeting minimum requirements as stipulated in Chapter 257, Fla. Stat. and Chapter 113-2, Florida Administrative Code. The grant amount is calculated using a formula that considers (1) the amount of local funds appropriated for the Library adjusted by a factor based on the amount of revenue one mill levy in the jurisdiction would generate, (2) the number of library systems in Florida that qualify in a given year, and (3) the total amount made available by the State Legislature to improve library services within the State. Funds are intended to supplement, rather than replace, local efforts toward that end. State Aid may not be used to fund capital construction. It may be used for Personnel Expenses (salaries, wages and related employee benefits), Operating Expenses (goods and services), and Non -Fixed Capital outlay and other (operating expenditures categories in the library budget) expenditures, and equipment. When the final award is made, and the executed agreements are received, Budget Amendments will be prepared and presented to the Board. FISCAL IMPACT: Preliminary estimates show that Collier County Public Library should receive about $139,834.00 in State Aid. Upon notification of the grant award, the Board will be asked to accept the grant and approve the budget amendment to recognize the revenue and appropriate the expenditures. There is no match required for this grant. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been approved as to form and legality and requires a majority vote for Board approval. -DDP GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management impact due to this request. RECOMMENDATION: to approve the submittal of the FY23-24 State Aid to Library Grant along with the 2023-2027 Strategic Plan and other documentation required for grant application submission and authorize the Chairman to sign grant agreement #24-ST-08 and all certifications required for the submission of the grant application to the Florida Department of State, Division of Library and Information Services for funding in the estimated amount of $139,834.00.
