RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 26062 to add one (1) Librarian II (3AVD) position at salary plan and grade QX5 1001 ($6,015 - $7,311) in the Library Department.  

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will result in an annual cost to the Library Fund of approximately $115,009. No fiscal impact to the County general fund.  

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the library will not be able to curate a quality collection for patrons.






BACKGROUND:

In FY2021-22, library reached an all-time high of 7.9 million circulations of print and electronic items, a 40% increase from the last year of full, open service. With a collection of over 1.5 million items across 26 branches and online, the curation of a quality library collection to meet community interest has never been higher. Anticipating the needs of the public requires a thorough knowledge of the publishing industry, continuous monitoring of community requests, and an in-depth knowledge of professional-level reviews. The Librarian II position will increase the library's ability to meet and increase patron interest in reading and research by expanding the library's capacity to grow print and electronic collections, particularly of the library's non-English language collection.   
  
This action supports the Library Strategic Goal, "The Library champions personal and community engagement in literacy and reading to enrich lives."
