Commission seeks children's librarian as youth patronage grows; volunteers needed for move
Summary
Commissioners said children now make up more of the library’s users during the summer and urged hiring a children’s librarian (budgeted in personnel increases) while also requesting volunteers to help with the move and programs.
Chair David Ravenas and commissioners highlighted a rising need for a children's librarian, noting that “we have more children patrons than adult patrons in the library,” driven by summer classes and programs. Commissioners said the personnel-budget increase partly reflects compensation and a budgeted part-time children's librarian role.
They also asked the community for volunteers to assist with packing, moving and programming once the new library is ready and said Tracy would be a point of contact for volunteer coordination. Chair Ravenas said he would check reporting lines and confirm whether the children's librarian would report to the head librarian or to the city manager, and promised to follow up.
