ITEM #5
1. Carlsbad City Library joined over 250 libraries and schools nationwide during the month
of January to encourage community members to participate in the Winter Reading
Challenge. The Winter Reading Challenge offered an opportunity for readers of all ages
to celebrate the enjoyment of reading. The library's reading goal for the Carlsbad
community was 150,000 minutes, and the community was within 93% of reaching that
goal with a total of 139,815 minutes read by 445 participants. Participants who recorded
four hours of reading in Beanstack, the library's web-based reading tracker, received a
book bag. Children and teens also earned local restaurant coupons.
2. In mid-January, construction started on Chapters, the cafe within Carlsbad City Library
on Dove Lane. Work is expected to continue for approximately two to three months,
with an anticipated opening in spring 2019. Cafe opening activities are currently being
planned, and library staff and patrons can't wait to enjoy their first cup of coffee at the
new cafe!

3. On Jan. 6, the library kicked off its winter concert series in the Schulman Auditorium
with Patrick Berrogain's Hot Club Combo performing French classics, Gypsy Jazz and
original compositions for an audience of 200.
4. Mindful Stress Navigation -Parenting was held in the Schulman Auditorium on Jan. 12
with presenter Dr. Erik Conklin. The 32 adult attendees participated in activities and
discussions to learn how being fully present for the joys and challenges of parenting can
improve one's health and relationship with their children.
5. The library's first Books & Bingo event for an adult audience was a success thanks to 12
authors who spoke and signed books for nearly 200 readers on Jan. 26. The attendees
enjoyed two dynamic keynote speakers as well as two author panels. Between the
panels, attendees were encouraged to mingle with the authors to get their bingo cards
signed and enjoyed the opportunity to connect with passionate writers and other book
lovers.
6. Celebrated local author Sally J. Pia presented a writing workshop for tweens on Jan. 12.
The 11 tween participants registered in advance and were excited to engage in writing
exercises, one of which involved making their own zines, or mini books with words,
pictures and colorful covers.

STEAMworks programs, there will be a culminating STEAMworks Pro event on one
Saturday afternoon each month at the Dove Lane facility.

genealogy research, attended by 86 people.
11. Sixteen adults participated in a Jan. 13 writing workshop focused on the connection

winning screenplays and came away with well-crafted poems.

12. The spring semester of MiraCosta College's English as a Second Language classes started
on Jan. 22. The classes offered at the Library Learning Center are basic computers and
digital literacy, reading and writing for intermediate level students and conversation

13. Mad Science presented a children's program called Walloping Winter Weather on

14. The Library Learning Center hosted a viewing of the film The Hate U Give, an adaptation
of Angie Thomas' book by the same name. Thirteen teens attended the Jan. 18 program
and were very excited to compare the film with the book and engage in conversations
about the various political and social issues addressed in the film.
Outreach and Community Connections ...
15. On Jan. 9, librarians Madelyn Horton and Ashleigh Hvinden represented the library at
the Career Day Fair at the Army and Navy Academy in Carlsbad. Professionals, including
a marine biologist, a military aviator, a doctor and developers working on Al for NASA,
spoke to the cadets about career paths and opportunities. Staff interacted with over 50
cadets, a few of whom were interested in pursuing librarianship, and shared career
advice, promoted the library's digital and streaming services, encouraged cadets to join
our Winter Reading Challenge, and gave away 20 young adult books and library book
bags. Staff members were excited to be asked back to next year's Career Day.
16. On Jan. 15, library staff brought library card applications, a mobile hotspot, and
refreshments to La Posada De Guadalupe, a shelter for homeless men. While staff
processed new registrations and conversed in Spanish with the men, other staff
members spruced up a disorganized corner of donated materials into a small searchable
library. Staff assessed materials for currency and condition, discarded appropriately and
sorted what remained. Many of the men expressed interest in the project and sought
book recommendations.
17. On Jan. 17, library staff teamed up to provide preschool story times for two local
preschools that are accessible with the Book Bike. Lead Librarian Darin Williamson
visited Pilgrim Children's Center and delivered two story times each to 24 preschoolers.
Librarian Missy Shaw read two stories and presented book talks on 20 books at
St. Patrick Catholic School to 25 first graders. Missy then joined Darin and visited Kruger
House where they presented a variety of songs, fingerplays and stories to 25
preschoolers. Unfortunately, several other planned Book Bike events were rained out in
January.

ITEM #7 -EXHIBIT 1
{cityof
Carlsbad
The City Council recently revised the Municipal Code to create uniform policies and procedures
related to boards and commissions. Included in those revisions is a requirement for each board
and commission to submit an annual work plan and a subsequent report of the activities it has
undertaken to the City Council. The workplan should include the activities that the board or
commission anticipates undertaking in the coming year. The City Council will review, amend if
necessary and approve the work plan. The purpose of the work plan is to encourage increased

Gift Acceptance
1
The Library & Cultural Arts department encourages and welcomes monetary gifts
that support and enhance library or cultural arts services, as well as library
materials in good condition. Gifts may be from individuals, families, businesses,
corporations, foundations and other organizations.
Depending upon the nature of the gift and the donor's interests, monetary
donations may be directed to the library, Cultural Arts Office or one of its support
organizations. Each support organization may have its own gift acceptance
policy.
Gifts of library materials are accepted if they fulfill the library's collection
development plan, which includes additional policies on acceptance. Materials
not suitable for addition to the library's collection are offered to the Friends of the
Library for resale, with the proceeds benefitting Carlsbad City Library programs
and services.
Gifts of objects, furnishings and equipment, as well as in-kind contributions, may
be accepted or offered to any of the support organizations if they do not fulfill the
mission, vision or service goals of the department. Separate policies may apply
to these gifts.
The L&CA director or another designee of the city manager has responsibility for
management of gift receipt, acceptance and recognition, and for development of
acceptance criteria for gifts. A gift may be declined if, in the judgment of the
L&CA director, acceptance of the gift presents unacceptable restrictions or
challenges, expense that significantly diminishes the value of the gift, or the
perception of impropriety; or if it conflicts with the organization's mission, vision
or service goals. The acceptance of a gift shall not impede the ability to acquire
gifts from other sources nor subject the department or the city to adverse
publicity. Certain individual gifts with a value determined by the City Council must
be accepted by the City Council.
Donations that are accepted become the property of the City of Carlsbad; items
purchased with donated funds will be retained so long as they continue to be
relevant and useful to the purposes of the department, and can be properly
stored, preserved and used. The department has the right to deaccession or loan
any items purchased with donated funds.

Reporting of Gifts
GIFT ACCEPTANCE & RECOGNITION
2
The L&CA director will report gifts to the Library Board of Trustees directed for
library use, and to the Arts Commission when directed for cultural arts services;
and make a recommendation on gifts that are subject to City Council approval.
All gifts are subject to applicable public record laws and regulations as
determined by the City of Carlsbad and the State of California.
Donor Recognition
The L&CA Department values its donors, and will establish methods to
appropriately acknowledge and recognize their gifts. The department will
promptly acknowledge gifts with a letter of thanks unless the donor declines this,
and inform donors of how their gifts will be used. Gifts accepted by the City
Council will also receive a letter of thanks on behalf of the City Council.
Additional opportunities exist for recognition at a City Council meeting at the
donor's request. If the gift is honorific in nature, the honoree or his/her family will
also receive notification of the gift and its use.
The department may establish methods by which gifts are publicly
acknowledged. The purpose of public recognition is to thank donors, encourage
others to give, and to build long-term relationships between the organization and
its supporters. Every effort will be made to ensure recognition is timely,
meaningful to the donor, appropriate and consistent. Such methods may include
book plates; limited-term signage recognizing smaller or annual gifts; donor
walls, plaques or other ongoing recognition; named spaces, amenities, programs
or endowments; the establishment of giving circles or communities of giving;
recognition events; and recognition utilizing print and digital communication
methods such as newsletters, press releases, annual reports, websites, and
social networking sites.
The extent of recognition shall be in proportion to the value of the contribution
and its impact. The design of donor recognition methods will complement rather
than conflict with delivery of services and programs, and will be consistent with
principles and standards applied to the design of facilities, marketing and
communication tools. The duration of donor recognition may change as facilities
and communication methods are altered.
The department respects the privacy of donors and will refrain from publicly
recognizing gifts if the donor requests anonymity (to the extent permitted by law).
Support organizations establish and maintain their own recognition policies. The
department may collaborate with one or more of these organizations in
recognizing gifts to them that directly support department facilities, programs and
services. Joint recognition will be consistent with the department's policies on
donor recognition. As the department establishes donor recognition programs, it

GIFT ACCEPTANCE & RECOGNITION
will do so in consultation with its support organizations to facilitate their success
in attracting gifts.
Physical Space Recognition
Requests for naming physical space or amenities within facilities are subject to
the City Council's policies on naming rights, unless otherwise determined by the
City Council. The naming or designation of facilities or amenities shall never be
granted in perpetuity.
Other Considerations
Because of its noncommercial, nonprofit status, the department is committed to
providing programs and services that are free from influence or editorial control
by an external funding source.
Purchasing decisions, including property, equipment, materials, furnishings,
programs, and services, will reside with the department.
Policy approved by the Library Board of Trustees-Sept. 20, 2017
Procedure:
Gifts with a value of $5000 or greater must be accepted by the City Council.
Refer questions or concerns to a supervisor, the Person-in-Charge (PIC) or
L&CA administration.

Policy.
