Kathy Young, branch manager and librarian at the Poway Library, introduced herself and outlined the branch’s core services and staff roles. She said she oversees day-to-day operations and the branch’s programming, which she described as centered on families and children.

Young said the Poway community is "very family focused" and highlighted multiple weekly story times and other children’s programs. She also said she has worked with the county for about 17 years, beginning as a library technician and advancing to librarian 3 before becoming branch manager at Poway.

Young characterized the Poway Library as a high-use location, saying it is the "number 1 busiest circulating library" and offers diverse programs. That description is presented as her statement about the branch’s usage and programming.

She said she serves as a DNI champion for the library department, a role she described as allowing her "to advocate for equitable practices across our system and ensure our services reflect the diverse communities we serve." The transcript does not expand the DNI acronym; the article reports the term as used by Young.

Young also said she is president of APACE, the Asian Pacific Alliance of County Employees, and that she works through the group to share cultural identity and connect Asian Pacific Islanders across the county.

"What I enjoy most is being able to connect people to what they need, whether that's information, support, or just a safe space," Young said, adding that those services help "improve the people's quality of life." The remarks were delivered as an informational presentation; no formal actions or votes were recorded in the transcript.
