Liz Bagani, branch manager at the Santí branch of San Diego County Libraries, said library staff can identify community needs and use resources and support to find solutions that improve residents' lives.

Bagani said, “Hola, me llamo Liz Bagani y soy la gerente bibliotecaria de la sucursal de Santí, de las bibliotecas del condado de San Diego. Los libros abren el mundo y permiten a las personas vivir una vida que no podrían vivir así solas, aquí y ahora.” She added that public service and a love of books guide the work of library employees and that being a librarian allows her to both spot local needs and marshal resources to address them.

The remarks highlighted the library's role as a neighborhood resource, with Bagani saying staff can identify local needs and then access “the capacity, the resources and the support” to help neighbors, friends and family. No formal action, funding request or ordinance was discussed in the provided transcript excerpt.
