MEETING DATE: April 21, 2004

RECOMMENDED ACTION: That AmeriCorps VISTA Jessie Ryan be recognized for her year of

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: For the past twelve months AmeriCorps VISTA Jessie Ryan has
been serving as a volunteer through the Great Valley Center for
Lodi Public Library in their Computer Learning Center. During her tenure she has coordinated and
promoted the services of the learning center through the assistance of over twenty-five dedicated
volunteers whom she recruited for the program. To her credit are the following statistics—the Computer
Leaming Center (CLC) is open over 55 hours per week. In the past ten months over 10,000 patrons
have used the CLC; the CLC has served over 500 users in one-on-one tutorials; the CLC has held
workshops in basic computer skills, MS Word, Windows XP, Power Point, and others. The CLC now has
the capacity to serve users with low vision and other disabilities.
Ms. Ryan has become a valued member of the Library Team and her service and good will on
behalf of the City to the community of Lodi has extended way beyond the walls of the library.
