Rolling Out Resources by Dodie Ownes — Adult Service Librarian Books & Borrowing, Central Library, Denver Public Library

Dodie Ownes joined Denver Public Library in 2016 as an Adult Service Librarian at the Central branch. She has worked in a variety of library-related positions in the past, including advertising sales, webcast production, and product development. Dodie lives in beautiful Golden Colorado, "Where the West Lives."

B R O DA R T O N E C ATA LO G

I know we shouldn’t spend much time looking in the rearview mirror at 2020, but when I think about all the resources and services that Denver Public Library (DPL) was able to provide when our physical doors were closed, I am amazed. Our Outreach Services department jumped into action in May 2020, deploying bookmobile and library staff to give away books, movies, and craft kits at schools providing free meals, food banks, shelters and community centers. Community Resources staff fanned out across Denver, working to connect those in need with food, housing, and medical care. Reassurance calls were made to older adults, story times went online and book clubs were Zooming. At our Central Library, the Community Technology Center moved outdoors, and CTC staff ran pop-up computer labs across the city. Like many other towns and cities across the country, the Denver community discovered that even when our buildings were closed, we could still deliver the goods! Did the pandemic closure mean innovation stopped at DPL? It certainly did not. There was a lot of learning done along the way, and just as much informed judgement being practiced. How long should books, movies and audiobooks be quarantined? The definitive answer for that one was hard to pin down, to say the least! Will anyone attend an online Memory Cafe? You bet, many times more than would be able to attend in person. How cold is too cold to staff an outdoor computer lab? We settled on a “feels like” temperature of 42 degrees, and now that summer is upon us, 92 degrees is our top limit. A major renovation of the Central Library began mid-2020 and is expected to continue through 2022, making us rethink what “basic services” are, and how we can provide those. DPL added 300 Chromebooks (thanks to some nifty grant writing) for checkout, and added more hot spots as well. The Personalized Reading List service was expanded to include children and teens, Saturday afternoon online matinees were

added, curbside pick-up proved to be wildly popular and three seed libraries were set up.

In early March 2021, nine branches opened, followed by another 13 in April. Three branches were undergoing renovation at the time and have since opened. The Central Library, at this writing, is still closed to the public due to construction delays (“supply chain issues”) but expected to open in a limited capacity very soon. Work continues on a new branch, Art Park, adjacent to the historical Five Points neighborhood and the new-ish River North area. It’s really like we never stopped pushing ahead! And the local press has noticed−303 Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Hidden Gems at Denver Public Library,” and Westword declared DPL’s Personalized Reading Lists ”the best free service” in Denver! Everything Denver Public Library is working toward providing this year speaks to our 2021 Commitments, focused on Collection Access, Technology Access, and Access to Public Space, with an emphasis on priority populations−BIPOC, Vulnerable Youth, Digitally Isolated, Unemployed, Unhoused, Immigrants, Refugees and Older Adults. These commitments, now in writing, are a continuation of what my fellow staff work hard to put into practice every day, no matter the hurdles and challenges ahead. I’m feeling optimistic about the future of public libraries (and our customers), and think you should as well!

A Civic Community Center by Laura Stein — Senior Librarian, New York Public Library

Laura Stein, MLIS has been a clerk, materials selector, director, and, most recently, Senior Adult Librarian with New York Public Library. For the past 6 years she has brought original programming and readers advisory to the patrons of Midtown Manhattan.

The New York Public Library (NYPL) has always experimented with how programming can double as civics education. Choosing your local governance, or even participating in it, can have a positive impact on the future of your community. However, voter turnout for local elections is traditionally low. Why, if we consider something to be our "civic duty", do we shirk this responsibility? I wanted to focus on the complication of learning about all of the races and candidates. NYC just had a Mayoral election with 13 candidates on the final ballot. Alongside that voters were also choosing a new comptroller, public advocate, district attorney, borough president, city council members, and judges. PLUS, we were just introduced to rankedchoice voting. This is overwhelming for even the savviest voter. NYC has many agencies and nonprofits working together to get people informed and the library should be a part of the conversation. After all, our realm is making information accessible. My NYPL colleagues and I had been brainstorming and trying things out before the 2020 Presidential election. We began with article discussions on hot button topics, pulling from the Opposing Viewpoints database for fair representation. This led us to working with the League of Women Voters of NYC (LWV) to put together a blog post on important election terminology. That blog post then morphed into a trivia game. Participants answered multiple choice and true or false questions and after each answer was given our expert from LWV would share some background and context to enrich the activity. Our next foray into this trivia will be for teens, hopefully working together with the schools, instilling a sense of civic duty in the next generation. Power in Print, a civics book club was formed and implemented in 2021 by several branch libraries. The book club format allowed staff and patrons to discuss past and present

issues like voter suppression, learn about NYC's history, and discuss how to get more civically involved. A list of titles was made available for simultaneous use and staff attended support sessions before their program. No library initiative is complete without a book display! Keeping book discussion and related titles, flyers for civics programs, and voting registration forms stocked in one area is essential. We were announcing registration deadlines and early voting dates in every program and in every newsletter. If there was a way to sneak civics into existing programs, we took advantage. Don't assume all library staff have the information and desire to vote! It was also brought up at every internal meeting and continuing education webinar. One of my favorite public programs to create was a non-partisan guide to election research. The goal of the first session was to go over the basics of registration, finding your polling site and seeing your ballot ahead of time. Online tools have come a long way and sharing these free, trustworthy resources was the priority. In the second session we dove deeper into researching the candidates. We didn't speak about particular people but rather how to go about learning their positions on important issues, past voting records, and campaign contribution history. We outlined the resources, provided a voting plan form and showed them how to use these tools. An important collaboration for this project was with a local online newspaper that was heavily covering the election and even made one of the tools that we shared. All through the library system librarians and partners were having information sessions, making themselves available to answer any questions from voters. We hope that all our efforts brought in just a few more voters than usual, and certainly more informed voters.
