OLD BUSINESS: (Continued)
Dr. Lange continued, stating the application did reach
the State Library in time to be included in the grant,
and Carlsbad should hear September 21 whether or not
they were awarded a grant. It was said that what the
Library, St. Patrick's and Community Resources offer
overlap--and complement each other, and should be side
by side. Geoff Armour stated that Library Services
strictly were being discussed, and not social services-
-that this would be information and referral services
only. There will be rotation of the Center staff and
the Library staff on a one-at-a-time basis. This will
serve as cultural education for the Library staff,
also.
Geoff Armour said there will be field trips to the
Library to familiarize the citizens with the services
available there, and some of the money would be spent
to "beef up" the present collection--with a lot of
pamphlets, brochurea, etc.
Dr. Lange said the grant is for three years, with the
second year at 65 percent funding, and the third year
not determined as yet. He said that City Council has
to be shown the fiscal impact of the program on the
General Fund. The goal is to do this outreach for two
years and when the Library is remodeled, the program
will move into the Library and no longer be a facility
downtown. The citizens are to be made comfortable with
the Library and to undaratand what it can do for them.
The people who will be hired would be hired anyway for
the Cole Library.
The Library Board of Trustees approved the Partnerships

1 7. Identi fv your COMMUNITY'S NEEDS.
In identifying the community's needs, the Partnership Team felt it was important to gain insight into two types of needs:
1. The community's information needs, and
2. The context within which these information needs exist;
that is, cultural, social, and economic realities and needs that will be important to consider in designing any library service.
1. INFORMATION NEEDS
The information needs identified through existing data, key
informants, the Migrant Education parents meeting, the community survey, and Coalition discussions all confirmed one another. Two types of information needs emerged from all sources:
1. Information to assist Spanish-speaking families in
coping with their daily lives and in making the transition to life in a new environment. Examples include information about legal requirements to drive a
car, preventive health information, and where to find job training.
2. Hispanic cultural information and resources so that new
immigrants and their children can maintain a tie with
their cultural heritage and so that the wider Carlsbad
community can appreciate the rich Hispanic culture.
2. CONTEXTUAL FACTORS
A number of important contextual factors were also identified.
a. New residents
Like many residents in all of Carlsbad, Hispanic residents in the
downtown neighborhood tend to have moved to Carlsbad recently. A
comparison of length of residence data from the Hispanic
community survey with that from a survey of patrons using the
Carlsbad City Library in 1989 shows similar residence patterns except in the category of "rrore than 10 years.''

Some Hispanic residents who have moved to Carlsbad in recent
years have come from other parts of California, while most have come from Mexico and Central America. Nearly all who have come
from Mexico and Central America have come from rural, village environments in which their families worked in the fields. Technology was limited. Thus, these new residents have experienced a great change moving to Carlsbad with its thousands of residents, many laws and regulations, and sophisticated technology. In village life, the extended family is the source
of training and information about how to effectively live one's life, and the extended family provides for daily needs such as work, housing, and child care. However, for many new Hispanic residents in Carlsbad, the extended family remains in Mexico, creating both a practical and an emotional strain. made clear in the age breakdown of adult Hispanic residents surveyed :

Community's Needs, page 3
Clearly, the new Hispanic residents of Carlsbad are mostly under
the age of 40, with the elder generation barely represented.
What is more, even if the elder generation were present, their
lifeskills information would be suited to a rural, village
context rather than an urban, technological one.
One difference revealed in the survey with regard to length of
residence was the contrast found between parents and non-parents. Thirty percent of non-parent respondents have lived in Carlsbad
less than a year compared to 11 percent of parents. nearly thirty percent of respondents who are parents have lived in Carlsbad five years or more, compared to 14 percent of non- parents. After carefully considering this data, the Coalition decided to focus the library's initial efforts on the information needs of families (parents and children), feeling that the families have demonstrated a desire to settle in Carlsbad rind become an integral part of the community.
Conversely,

While many adults and children are enrolled in courses to learn English, it is a slow process, especially for the many adults who
have had little or no formal schooling in Spanish. The educational levels of survey respondents were found to be the
following:

0 - 3 years 15.9%
10 - 12 years 20.2%
More than 16 years 2.3%
100.0%
Of perhaps even more significance, the community survey revealed that more than half of respondents speaking primarily Spanish hac!
completed 6 years or less of school, compared with only 18% of
bilingual or English-speaking respondents. Surveyors reported that one-third to one-half of respondents at some survey sites needed help completing the Spanish-language written survey because of low Spanish-language literacy skills. However, the survey demonstrated that Spanish-speaking residents still need to take care of their immediate survival needs while they are
learning a new language.
The implications of the language and education factors are clear.
First, coping and lifeskills information needs to be provided in
Spanish. Second, even information written in Spanish will not 5e
easily accessible to about half the adults in the community. Information needs to be provided in alternative forms as well,
such as through cassettes or videos, or by informed persons face- to-face.
A third implication is that bilingual/bicultural staff must be available to answer questions and guide inquirers, or else Spanish-speaking residents will have great difficulty meeting their needs. In the community survey, when respondents were asked to indicate which of a list of 15 life situations created
major, minor, or no problems for them, it was the lack of bilingual staff in community agencies that topped the list, with
88% of respondents citing it as a problem.
3. GENERAL LIFE SITUATION Throughout the needs assessment process, additional insortant cofitextual factors recurred frequently. First, the survey demonstrated that most Hispanics in downtown Carlsbad have very
low incomes, particularly when compared with the general income
California State Library Partnerships for Change Community Library Service Grants Program Application Page 7D
Applicant Jurisdiction Carlsbad City Library Title Centro de Amistad
Communitv's Needs, page 5
levels and housing costs in Carlsbad. More than half of Spanish- speaking respondent households have annual incomes under $10,000.
Data also indicated that single adults and families share
housing, with resultant overcrowding, in order to afford rents.
Hispanic residents of downtown Carlsbad also reported many other
problems in their general life situation (refer to page 17 in SANDAG report).
problems for residents, every single item was cited by at least
59 percent of respondents as a problem. Those items cited most often as "major problems" were abuse of drugs and alcohol in the community (68%); the lack of bilingual staff in community
service agencies (67%); concern about crime and the safety of the family (65%); and keeping children away from drugs and gangs
(60%). When "major" and "minor" problems were combined, the
most-cited responses were lack of bilingual staff in community agencies (88%); discrimination against Hispanics (88%); and conceren about crime and the safety of the family (86%). For
Spanish-speaking residents, finding a job, a lack of bilingual staff in community service agencies, discrimination against Hispanics, and getting health care were cited as significantly greater problems than for persons who were bilingual or spoke Eng 1 ish .
Of a list of 15 items that could be potential
The results of the community survey were echoed in the discussions by Migrant Education parents, who overwhelmingly were concerned about the presence of gangs in their neighborhood and inadequate police protection. Key informants echoed the concerns, particularly citing health care and legal problems,
lack of bilingual staff, and negative feelings toward Hispanics
and Hispanic culture in the general population as major concerns.
The necessity of bilingual staff and the need for basic lifeskills and coping information have already been discussed. However, the discrimination issue is also important to consider in any library service which will be designed. The discrimination issue ties in with the expressed desire of Hispanics to have availabie information and resources about their cultural heritage so that their children will develop with a positive self-image and pride in their heritage. It also relates to the need for a sharing of cultures, so that as Hispanic
ixriiigrants learn about life in the United States, Anglo residents will simultaneously have a chance to become familiar with the richness of the Hispanic heritage, and the diversity in the community can be appreciated.

Cormunitv's Needs, page 6
Additionally, the safety issue must be addressed. Any library service must acknowledge that Hispanic residents in downtown Carlsbad are deeply conceraed about the safety of their families.
Transportation difficulties (cited later in this section),
combined with safety issues, will dictate the design of some services.
4. INFORMATION SOURCES, BARRIERS, AND THE LIBRARY The most-often cited sources of information for Hispanic residents surveyed were friends (59.2%), church (36.0%), and family (33.5%). The library was cited by only 10.1% of
respondents. Nearly every key informant--whether school
personnel, business person, longterm resident, or leader in
another position--said that they themselves were an information
source for Spanish-speaking residents. Clearly, when Spanish- speaking residents need practical coping information, they turn
to the people they already trust and who can speak their language. official institutions with which they are unfamiliar and where they have reason to believe they will not find someone who speaks Spanish. Key informants made it clear that the library currently falls into this category for most Spanish-speaking residents.
Spanish-speaking residents expressed distrust of
Some other barriers to acquiring the information Spanish-speaking
families need have already been discussed: language, education, change in living environment, general life situation.
Two other barriers to information were emphasized particularly
strongly by key informants and in Coalition discussions: perception of the library by Spanish-speaking resider,ts, and 2) geographical location of other potential information sources.
1)
a. Perceution of the library by Spanish-speakins residents Individual comments written by respondents on-the survey indicated a generally positive attitude toward the library and the resources it can offer. However, key informants, Coalition members, and survey respondents (in oral corrments to surveyors) also clearly stated that the library was perceived to be an Anglo institution for use by Anglos and largely irrelevant to Spanish- speaking residents' lives. In Mexico, there has not.been a history of public libraries available for most people. Thus, most Spanish-speaking immigrants to Carlsbad have no experience
California State Library Partnerships for Change Community Library Service Grants Program Application Page 7F
Applicant Jurisdiction Carlsbad City Library Title Centro de Amistad
Community's Needs, page 7
with using a library. Furthermore, the limited educational level of the Spanish-speaking population in Carlsbad reinforces the unfamiliarity with libraries and formal information seeking.
The inevitable conclusion is that Spanish-speaking residents are
very unlikely to use the Main Library as services are currently
structured. Although the Main Library is located within a mile
of the downtown neighborhood, the psychological distance between
the library and the neighborhood is immense. In the community survey, 42.9% of respondents did not know where the library is located. Only 21% of Spanish-speaking respondents had visited
the library. Significantly, key informants, survey respondents,
and Coalition members concluded that even the addition of
bilingual personnel and an increase in the Spanish language
materials in the Main Library, while essential, would not in themselves draw Spanish-speaking residents into the Main Library.
The institution of the library would still be perceived as an Anglo institution, with Spanish-speakers having little concept of
what relevance the 1i.brary might have for them.
It became clear to Coalition members that the library could not wait for the Spanish-speaking population to come to the library, even if changes were made at the Main Library. Rather, the library would have to first adopt an outreach philosophy of
operation and take its services to the population it seeks to serve. The library would need to go into the neighborhood,
delivering information in a culturally sensitive manner, and
build trust. Building trust would take time. Coalition members
recognized that the library could speed the trust-building process by working in partnership with individuals and organizations already trusted in the neighborhood. Coalition members themselves are such trusted persons. The Coalition recognized that St. Patrick's Church, through its significant role in the lives of neighborhood residents as well as through its outreach services, had already established a high degree of
trust with neighborhood residents. Coalition members felt that a partnership with St. Patrick's Church would benefit the library in building trust. The information services of the library and the outreach services of St. Patrick's were seen as complementing one another in seeking to improve the quality of life of Spanish- speaking families in the downtown neighborhood. Expanding on this level of trust, the library could introduce Spanish-speaking residents to library services and begin the transition to use of the full resources of the Main Library.

Community's Needs, page 8
b. Geoaraphical location of other 7otential sources of
When Coalition members looked at the types of lifeskill and
coping information that Spanish-speaking families need, they were aware that much of the information that was needed is available
from social and health care agencies. However, only 5 percent of
survey respondents reported getting information from community service agencies. When Coalition members looked at the geographic location of such agencies, it was apparent that most of the social and health care agencies serving Carlsbad residents, and especially those targeting low-income and Spanish- speaking clients, are located in Oceanside, Vista, and Encinitas. These include both nonprofit and government agencies. Examples include health clinics, mental health care, services for abused
women, Employment Development Department, commodities programs, Department of Social Services, high school diploma and G.E.D. programs, Legal Aid, drug abuse treatment, and Headstart. One exception is that, in Carlsbad, St. Patrick's Church has recently recognized the lack of services and has begun outreach services for downtown residents.

With this geographic information, the Coalition looked at the transportation situation of survey respondents.

In contrast with the population in general, which relies almost exclusively on transportation by car, about half the respondents did not travel by car. Furthermore, over half of respondents reported that affordable child care was a problem. Combining these two factors, it is apparent that travelins to socia! and
health care agencies is a difficult task for many residents.
Even more serious, lack of knowledge about what agencies exist and what they offer was reported. And finally, Hispanics have traditionally used informal sources, not institutions--except the

from the Hispanic community survey are compared with data from

moving this year into having a computerized catalog, even more barriers will be erected for potential Hispanic library users. It is clear, therefore, that the special services the library provides for Hispanic residents must include familiarizing them
with the public access computer to be used in the library. In addition, the library must make provisions in its Computerized
catalog for Spanish-language access to the system.
Clearly, many current library users are already moving into

11. Complete Summary in the space provided.
c The Carlsbad City Library is responding to the information needs of Spanish-speaking families living in downtown Carlsbad. The primary need is for basic information to assist families in coping with their daily lives and in making the transition to life in a new environment. Hispanic cultural information and resources are also needed so that new immigrants and their children can maintain a tie with their cultural heritage and so that the wider Carlsbad community can appreciate the rich Hispanic culture. To meet these needs, the library will establish an information center, called Centro de Amistad, located in the downtown neighborhood. The center will provide basic competency information necessary for neighborhood residents to meet personal needs and participate effectively in society. The center will also make referrals to community helping agencies. Community resource persons will be asked to come to the center on a regular basis to provide information and conduct workshops on needed topics. Subjects might include tax information, preventive health information, and information on where to find job training. Materials and programming for children will also be available. In addition to being a welcoming information place in itself, the center will provide a transition for making use of the wider resources of the Main Library. Bilingual/bicultural staff will go into the community to encourage use of the Centro and the Main Library.: To enable Spanish-speaking residents to make more use of the Main Library, Spanish language resources will be expanded, bilingual signage will be added, and bilingual staff will be recruited.

To continue building a coalition of library and community representatives committed to improving
services for Hispanics in Carlsbad.
for Change program, particularly geographically and
with regard to specific popElation to be served. To gain information about the general life situation and
context of Hispanics living in Carlsbad in order to design appropriate means of delivering service. To gain information about Carlsbad Hispanics' information needs and information sou- ces .
To gain information about barriers to Hispanics' use of
current library services.
To gather suggestions for new or revised services the library might offer to meet Hispanics' information needs.
To better define the focus of the library's Partnerships
2. INITIAL CONTACTS. During preparation of the library's original Partnerships for Change proposal, fourteen potential community partners were contacted. They were asked about what changes they perceived in the Carlsbad Hispanic community and what general needs they perceived Hispanics in Carlsbad having. They were asked if they
would be willing to work with the library in increasing its
services for Hispanic residents in Carlsbad.
3. EXISTING DATA.
During preparation of the original proposal, existing statistical data was collected from the San Ciego Association of Governmects, Carlsbad Unified School District, City of Carlsbad iiesearch and Analysis Office, County Supervisor John MacDonald's office, the Carlsbad City Library Library User Survey, aiid Donnel!Tf DemosraPhics. The statistical data acquired at that time included current and projected population figures by ethnicity and age, school enrollment by ethnicity, axxi? school enrollmerit ir, bilingual programs.

Needs Assessment Process, page 2
During the formal needs assessment process, additiocal existing data was obtained. Four relevant needs assessments were consulted: -Survey of Migrant Education Parents in Carlsbad, November
1989
County, 1990
homeless migrants, farmworkers and dayworkers in North
and South San Diego County, October 1989.
-Community Needs Assessnent of MAAC Project Headstart, North
-City of Carlsbad Child Care Survey, 1987
-MAAC Project, "The Working Homeless," a needs assessment of
Additional statistical data was obtained on population, housing,
health, employment, and other relevant information from a variety of sources.
4. KEY INFORMANTS
Returning to those potential community partners already contacted
during the proposal stage, and adding to this list, the three members of the Partnership Team interviewed eighteen key informants in the community. These are people who.are familiar
with the Hispanic population in Carlsbad and are able to give information based on their longtime residence, professional expertise, or formal or informal position in the community. The key informants were asked the following questions:

In addition to these formal interviews, the Branch Partner of the Partnership Team has attecded monthly rneeticss of the North
Coastal Directors Council for 6 years. This group is composed of the directors of nearly all social and health service agencies in North Coastal San Diego County. Through this network, the Brazc'n Partner has Seen able to be consistently updated on emerging needs and services, including those related to Hispanics, as
experienced by social and health service agencies.
In addition to providing valuable information aSozt needs in the
community and barriers to library use, the key informants helped the Partnership Team narrow the focus of the project.
in the original proposal, Carlsbad's Hispanic population is concentrated in two geographic regions. First, there are approximately 9000 Hispanic residents living in the downtown neighborhood. Second, there are estimated to be 6000 migrant workers living outdoors in the canyons located within city
boundaries. Interviews with key informants made it clear that the needs of these two populations are different and that the library should not attempt to meet the needs of both groups IC its initial effort. The recommendation was that the library focus its initial project on the needs of Hispanics living in downtown Carlsbad.
As noted
5. CONSULTATIONS
On April 23, the Partnership Team met with State Library Consultant Roberto Trujillo to discuss information obtained thus far and next steps. Mr. Trujillo suggested consulting with Orange Public Library, which received a Partnerships for Change grant the grevious year and which appeared to have fouz=:! zeeds similar to those emerging In Carlsbad. The Acklnlstrative Partner and the Branch Partner visited Orange Public Library ax2 discussed their written community survey of needs and the design
of their program.

6. MIGRANT EDUCATION PARENTS MEETING.
At the invitation of Migrant Education Coordinator Earia Gornez
Coalition representatives were able to gain input from a large group of community parents. On May 16, the Branch Partner,
Community Partner, and Coalition member H.P. Lopez attended a meeting of parents whose children participate in the Migrant Education program in Carlsbad. Although the program is called ~
"Migrant Education," the families are in fact stable residents
Carlsbad who work in agriculture but are living almost entirely
in the downtown neighborhood. Carlsbad's agricultural farnilies do not have the migratory pattern found in other parts of the country or among single men living in the canyons in Carlsbad.

Of
Approximately 50 parents, all Spanish-speaking, attended. Divided into small groups of 5, the parents then discussed what
they perceived the most important needs of Hispanics in Carlsbad to be. Each small group reported back to the full group and the results were recorded for the whole group to see.
7. COMMUNITY SURVEY The next step was to conduct a widescale written survey of community residents. representative of the San Diego Association of Governments, which is skilled in conducting community surveys, to discuss design an6 logistics of the survey. Using input already obtained from existing data, key informants, and the Migrant Education parents, the Branch and Community Partners wrote the survey. Some
questions were adapted from the Orange Public Library survey. Questions were included for demographic comzarison with results of the Carlsbad City Library User Survey conducted in 1989. The survey was reviewed by a SANDAG representative for technical considerations. Three separate translations into Spanish were done by three bilingual/bicultural Coalition members; the three versions were then compared to get the wording most likely to be
understood by the target population.
The Partnership Team met with a
Sites where the survey was conducted were chosen from those
suggested by key informants. A total of 423 surveys were
completed between May 19 and June 3. Community partners were invaluable in conducting the survey. AI1 of MiraCosta College's adult English-as-a-Second-Language classes, both morning and evening, participated, with teachers and aides assisting students. The congregations of St. Patrick's Church and the
California State Library Partnerships for Change Community Library Service Grants Program Application Page 6E

Needs Assessment Process, page 6
Iglesia Apostolica completed surveys following their services. SEIARE program participants completed surveys when they came for food. Bilingual/bicultural surveyors walked neighborhood streets interviewing neighborhood residents in their yards, on Sundays in Holiday Park, and going door-to-door in one apartment complex.
Lola's Market graciously allowed a surveyor to conduct surveys
daily for two weeks at the market.
SANDAG then compiled and analyzed the data and wrote the final survey report.
8. COALITION MEETINGS Upon completion of the survey, Coalition members met for the first time as a group. In a series of meetings starting on June 7, those Coalition members able to attend analyzed the survey results. Coalition members continued to add their own impressions of community needs as well. Through these discussions, the Coalition was able to define the geographic focus, population focus, community social and economic context, information needs and sources, and information barriers for the Partne'rships for Change pr0gra.m to address. An appropriate revision of library service was then designed by the Coalition members. Coalition members then contacted additional resource
people who would be needed to carry out the service plan.

suggests that the current library services and collection are nct as relevant or accessible as they need to be.
5. RECOMMENDED SERVICES, SERVICE ACCESS, AND SERVICE DELIVERY MECHANISMS
Taking all of the above needs information into account, the Partnership Team and Coalition, at its meetings on June 19 and July 10, 1990, made certain recommendations:
a. Taraet Population Spanish-speaking families (parents and children)
b. GeoaraPhic focus
Northwest quadrant of Carlsbad, with particular focus on the
downtown neighborhood located between Interstate 5 (east) and
Carlsbad Boulevard (west) and between Tamarack Avenue (south) and Laguna Drive (north).
c. Information focus
Two types of information will be the focus of services:
1) Information to assist Spanish-speaking families in coping with their daily lives and in making the
transition to life in a new environment. Examples
include information about legal requirements to drive a
car, preventive health care information, and where to
find job training.
2) Hispanic cultural information and resources so that new immigrants and their children can maintain a tie with their cultural heritage and so that the wider Carlsbad community can appreciate the rich Hispanic culture.
d. Services
The library's service delivery will he a two-pronged effort.
The library proposes to establish a facility to be called Centro de Amistad (Friendship Center) in the
downtown neighborhood. It may share a building with
1) Centro de Amistad
St. Patrick's Church's outreach programs. Centro de Amistad will be a specialized outreach center of the - Main Library. In a culturally sensitive atmosphere,
California State Library Partnerships for Change Community Library Service Grants Program Application Page 7 M
Applicant Jurisdiction Carlsbad City Library Title Centro de Amistad
Community's Needs, page 14
bilingual/bicultural staff will provide information and
referral information on lifeskills and coping topics
that Spanish-speaking residents need for adapting to a new environment and meeting their daily Reeds. Print and audio-visual information will be availaSle. A major component of Centro de Amistad will be the participation of representatives of social and health care agencies and other knowledgeable community members. They will provide needed information in person, either on a regularly scheduled basis or by conducting workshops and mini-courses. The Centro de Amistad is a transitional center to introduce residents to the services of the library and encourage use of the wider resources of the Main Library. A computer
catalog terminal will be on site to access the Main Library collection and familiarize residents with its
use. Centro de Amistad staff and Main Library staff
will rotate between locations to build trust and
familiarity between the neighborhood and the Main
Library. Because the Centro de Amistad seeks to serve
the needs of families, a children's collection and children's library programming will also take place at the site. A collection of print and nonprint materials related to Hispanic culture will be an integral part of
the collection. Active promotion of the Centro de Amistad will take place through the many community partners already helping and through Spanish language media.
Main Library
Changes will take place simultaneously within the Main
Library building. As the Carlsbad City Library moves
toward 1992, when a new Main Library will open in south
Carlsbad, the current Main Library is preparing to become more of a regionally focused library serving north Carlsbad. Bilingual/bicultural staff will be actively recruited for the Main Library as positions become open (this is already occurring to fill a new Children's Librarian position). Arrangements will be made to offer Spanish language instruction and cross- cultural training for Main Library staff. The Spanish- language reference, adult, and children's collections
will be expanded. Spanish-language audio-visual
materials will be purchased. The online catalog will have Spanish language accessibility. Bilingual signage

will be incorporated into the library. S2ecial exhibits and programs will highlight Hispanic culture and heritage for the wider Carlsbad coznunity. Library services will be publicized in Spanish. Main Library staff and Centro de Amistad staff will rotate between
sites so that staff and the community can become familiar with one another and Spanish-speaking residents will feel more comfortable going to the Main Library.

STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF CURRENT SERVICE PIIOGRAN
St r ena ths
1. The library's mission statement clearly recognizes the importance of meeting the information needs of a diverse
community population.
c
2. The library's mission statement clearly recosnizes the
importance of meeting community information needs in both
traditional and innovative ways.
3. In its 5-year goals and objectives formulated in 1988, the library established the presence of bilinsual (Spanish/English) staff at all public service desks during all hours of library operation as a high priority. The Circulation, Reference, Children's, and Adult Learning Divisions have been making progress in this area.
4. In fiscal year 1990-1991, allocations for purchase of Spanish
language materials were increased, including $3000 to be used for
purchase of Spanish-language reference materials.
5. The Children's Division conducts Spanish-language storyhours
at the Main Library and issues its monthly activities calendar in
Spanish and English.
6. Library staff, not just management, ars involved in decisions
about library policies and practices.
Weaknesses 1. The library does not have a planned program t:, meet the needs of Hispanic residents.
2. The library's orientation is to well-edzcated residents who already know how to use a library and does not include a Flannel?. program for assisting persons who are new to library services, especially persons with !ow educational levels.
3. The library's orientation has been to the city's English-
speaking population. It has lacked a significazt Spanish- language collection and bilingual signage and staffing to enable Spanish-speaking residents access to information.
California State Library Partnerships for change Community Library Service Grants Program Application Page 8E
Applicant Jurisdiction Carlsbad Cit;. Library Title Centro de Amistad
Current Service Frogran, page 6
4. The library has lacked an overall outreach program, with outreach limitec? to the literacy program and some work with homebound residents and the visually impaired.
5. Community input into library planning has been largely
related to planning the new library building in south Carlsbad.
There has been limited involvement of the community in other
aspects of library service planning.
6. Public relations efforts have focused. on the English language
media and communications strategies appropriats for the library's
current user population but have not included Spanish language
media or less forma! channels of communicatioz effective in the Hispanic community.
7. The library has lacked programming and cultural events which celebrate the Hispanic heritage of residents.
8. The library's nonprint resources (e.g., videos) do not
include Spanish-language materials. The low educational level of
many Spanish-speaking residents would make nonprint resources
especially appropriate.
9. The library's current services are increasingly taking advantage of sophisticated technology for information access, including data base searches and a new computerized catalog. Since most Hispanic residents have little familiarity with computers, the library's resources will becone even less accessible without deliberate planning for their needs.

The existing problems and considerations that must be addressed in a revised service program were discussed in this application on pages 7A-7M an6 in section 18a.
In a series of meetings in June and July 1990, the Partnership Team and Coalition members discussed appropriate information services and service delivery methods, based on all aspects of
the needs assessment. The recommended target population,
geographic focus, information to be provided, and means of
providing information are outlined in pages 7-M - 7-0 of this application. Since the recommendations were unanimous, they were adopted by the Coalition as the plan of service.
Subsequently, the Partnership Team and Coalition member Gloria Valencia Cothran drafted a Program Mission, Goals, and Objectives. These were discussed at the Coalition meeting on July 18 and adopted. The Library Board of Trustees approved the plan of service, mission, goals, and objectives on July 18 also. The program's mission, goals, and objectives are listed below.

JNCORPORATION CONSIDERADQNS
Use the questions below to help you begin planning to get the service revisions you
are making and the change process you are learning fully incorporatedinto your
ongoing service program, policies, and budget. DO NOT answer these questions 1-8
on this application. Do answer questions 9 and 10 in the space provided after these
questions.
1.
the following elements, after the changes you propose are fully incorporated into
your ongoing service program:
Describe what you want your revised service program to look like, in terms of
a. Services added; eliminated; reduced; modified.
b. Staffing (number, makeup, skills, languages, etc.)
c. Changes in your library environment (organizational structure, physical
design / layout, etc.)
2. How long will full implementation and incorporation of your proposed service
program revisions take?
3. What steps or milestones are necessary to accomplish full incorporation?
Develop a general timeline and indicate how you envision local support taking over
as LSCA funds phase out.
4. Cansider what magnitude of service revisions you can realistically fold into your
library budget over a reasonable time period. Does your proposal for changes reflect
this reality.
5. What proportion of your ongoing library materials budget needs to be allocated
to materials acquisitions for your target group if you are to maintain the service level
you are establishing via this effort? Is it realistic that you can maintain this level?
6. Remembering that communities rarely remain static, consider how your general
community (of which your target group is a part) is likely to change over the time
that it takes to revise and incorporate services for your target group. How might you
try to accommodate any of these changes that are significant?

20. Describe the Ions-term benefit for your tarset community and
irsur corrmunitv 1 ibrar-1.
a. BENEFITS FOR SPANISH-SPEAKING FAMILIES IN DOWNTOWN CAfiTYSBAD
Access to reliable information will be improved. Families' overall quality of life will be improved. A pattern of lifelong learning through use of library resources can be established for children and adults. Parents will have more resources with which to help
their children succeed in school. Self-esteem of Hispanic young people and adults can be enhanced. Hispanic residents will be active participants in library planning and decision-making. Hispanic residents will have more information and resources to become more active participants in the wider community. The drop-out rate among Hispanic youth may be reduced. Families' cultural heritage can be celebrated while they simultaneously adapt to life in a new environment.
b. BENEFITS TO COMMUNITY LIBRARY The library will be better able to fulfill its mission
of meeting the information needs of a diverse community . The library will be better able to plan appropriate information services for Hispanic residents. Library staff will expand their cross-cultural awareness and sensitivity. Library staff will have more information with which to plan collection development. As the city moves toward opening the new Main Library in south Carlsbad, the north library's plan of service can be better tailored to the needs of north Carlsbad residents, including Hispanic residents of the downtowr, neighborhood. The library will develop an outreach orientation and move towards its goal of establishing an Outreach Division. An ongoing sharing of information between the library and other agencies and organizations serving Hispanic residents will be established.

e. EENEFITS TO THE WHOLE CITY OF CARLSBAD The intercultural exchange fostered through this prograr, will enable all residents to appreciate the rich and diverse heritages present in our community. Misunderstandings between persons of differing cdtural heritages and languages may be reduced and a spirit of
cooperation enhanced. The program will enable more residents to ensure a good education for their children, thus better ensuring a stable and productive future for the entire community. More residents will be better informed and better able
to participate in community life. More residents will have access to information such as
legal requirements for driving and the importance of
prenatal care, thus reducing the necessity of spending public funds on dealing with situations caused by the lack of this information. More residents will have access to information that can improve their economic status, thus improving the economic situation of the community as a whole.

program and agree to attend all required Partnership Team Training sessions for the fiscal year

c I joined this team because:
I have been involved with this program as the Carlsbad City Library's administrative representative to the Partnership. As the Assistant - Library Director, I am responsible for management of the library's
day-to-day public and technical service operations. During a
series of workshops in 1989, library staff and administrators - developed a mission statement and a series of long range goals and
objectives. Part of the library's mission statement includes
providing resources and services "...that respond to the interests
of a diverse community." Among objectives to service goals in
the long range plan are an increase in bilingual staff at the
public service desks and an expansion of Spanish language materials.
I am committed to achieving these objectives and to, improving
library services for all residents of the community, including
Hispanic residents who have not made use of library services because of cultural barriers, lack of signage, and especially lack of bilingual staff. The Partnerships for Change program seems an excellent way to initiate a transition for these residents by providing basic information while at the same time introducing them to library services.

I will partidpate in the development of the title
program and agree to attend all required Partnership Team Training sessions for the fiscal year
1990/91.
I joined this team because: I believe that public libraries are essential cornerstones of freedom and democracy. In the United States, free exchange of information and ideas has been part of our way of life since its founding and is fundamental to our system of government. However, it has become apparent in recent years that subtle, if unintentional, barriers to information exist for some residents of our nation. The efforts to make libraries accessible to the physically disabled, the advent in. libraries of talking books and braille materials for the visually impaired, and the use
of bookmobiles for persons who are geographically far from library resources are prime examples of efforts to rectify this situation. Limited literacy skills have prevented many Americans from utilizing the information in libraries, so libraries such as Carlsbad's have instituted adult literacy programs to remove this barrier. I have personally been involved in the Carlsbad Library's litercy effort since 1984.
The Partnerships for Change program seeks to remove barriers to information for Hispanic residents of Carlsbad. City Library's resources are for all its residents and that the library is committed to working with the community to be sure that all residents have access to them. The Carlsbad Library already has a history of designing special information services for particular accesss needs: the literacy program, the homebound program, the genealogy program, and computerized access to specialized research. Change program follows in this tradition and in the tradition of public libraries as cornerstones of democracy through free and open access

1250 Elm Avenue Carlsbad, CA. 92008
Dear Mr. Lange:
I am writing this letter in support of the Carlsbad City Library's application for a Partnerships for Change grant. As you are aware, this grant will assist the City of Carlsbad in its efforts to offer important programs to the Spanish-speaking community.
The Carlsbad City Library is a progressive organization offering services of tremendous value to the community. I can think of no other organization that would better serve the spirit of a Partnerships of Change grant. With such funding, library staff would have the ability to offer basic community competency information necessary for the Spanish-speaking portion of our North County population. The library's programs would help families within this area to meet the requirements of every day life.
Such basic information regarding our driving laws, employment opportunities, consumer laws and where to find medical care would be offered at the library. Information regarding community activities would also be available.
Therefore, I wholeheartedly support Carlsbad City Library's application for this grant. I ask that you give it your fullest consideration.
Sincerelv.

members from the library.

The assistant director will remain in the library and will move into the director's office. The account
clerk will move into the secretary's office. The temporary office walls in the loading dock area and in what is now the assistant director and account clerk offices will be removed. This demolition will provide for more effective use of the loading dock area, and will provide needed and improved office space for library staff.
It will also be proposed that the Friends of the
Library use the garage in the Elmwood house for book storage.
