BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Over the years, the mission and focus of libraries has evolved. For centuries a library's primary responsibility has been to disseminate knowledge. In recent years, libraries have used their assets and services to teach and enable members of the public to make better decisions with their life choices. It has become the most fundamental and transformative reorganization of libraries in memory. To accomplish this critical community need, over the past two years the Lodi Public Library has embarked on a comprehensive redesign and reconfiguration of the Library to meet the community's current and future needs, with the support of the Library Board of Trustees. The transformation's components include several steps: • Children's Area — Redesign of Rott Children's Area, adding new furniture, murals and play structures to make the area more physically and mentally engaging to the City's children. ® Students — Build a new Homework Help Room. Given the explosive growth of the Homework Help Program (attendance grew from 3,000 in 2013 to 4,455 in 2014), and the broadening of the program to include a "Math Power Hour" on Tuesday and expanding the Homework Help program from three to four days a week, the Library is in need of additional space. This new Homework Help Room should be completed by Spring 2016. 8 Adult Computer Center — Built a new computer center, titled the Lucas Computer Center. From January to March 2014, the previous computer center provided free computer training to 500 patrons. In the new Lucas Computer Center, use tripled to 500 patrons each month. • Finally, creation of an innovative and new Teen Scene. The Lodi Public Library does not have a Teen Area that promotes and encourages teens to study/interact at the Library. The proposed Teen Scene area will be approximately 2,200 square feet, which includes about 1,000 square feet of current library space, plus an extension of the library to add another 1,100 square feet. APPROVED: b-e-'�Ar( 667/Stephen Schwabauer, City Manager Adopt Resolution Authorizing City Manager to Execute Contract with WMB Architects, of Stockton, to Initiate Schematic Designs for the Teen Scene Area at the Lodi Public Library, Accepting a Donation from the Library Board of Trustees, and Appropriating Funds ($7,891) January 6, 2016 Page 2 An expanded Teen Scene is a vital part of a comprehensive, inclusive Library. Over the past years other public libraries have concentrated on serving their teen patrons. At the Lodi Public Library, there are few options for teens to interact with their peers, raise their educational levels through homework assistance programs, and attend programs that expand their capabilities/knowledge. With social media, video games, and the Internet it can be a challenge to encourage teens to visit the Library, and the creation of teen -friendly spaces is a necessary first step. Teens are the most challenging group to visit the library, but by giving them a space created for them a Library can sustain the visitation by teens that once began when they were children. Teens are attracted to spaces that are bright, colorful, have available technology, a place they can work together, hang out, and that is comfortable. Typically, this teen space is away from the main floor or has some type of divider to give teen patrons a degree of privacy. It is difficult to build lifelong learners — from toddlers to the elderly — when the library, at present, has neglected a wide swath of that continuum (the teens). In fact, next to children some would say the most important demographic for a library is its teen population, and with the construction and focus of the library on the teen population. The void now experienced by the absence of teens can be addressed through such a space and attention to their needs. As the first step to design this new Teen Scene, the Library solicited bids from two architects, WMB Architects of Stockton and Gyroscope of Berkeley. The Library Board selected WMB Architects. WMB will initiate the exterior drawings of the proposed Teen Area, along with draft drawings of some interior spaces. With these drawings, the Library will embark on a fundraising campaign for the Teen Scene and, once the funding is secured, the Library would return to the Council for further actions related to the Teen Scene (including completing the architectural drawings). FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable. FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funding will be provided by a $7,891 donation from the Library Board of Trustees.
