More Programs for All Ages <br />Levy Promise: Increasing events by 33% over the life of the levy with a <br />particular focus on priorities identified by the community: support for young <br />readers and their parents; activities and programs for teens; and “maker” <br />opportunities (access to tools and skills training for individuals or small <br />businesses, including new technologies). An additional priority was to deliver <br />more Library programs off-site. <br />YOUNG READERS: Language-rich activities help young children develop the skills they’ll need <br />as they grow into learning to read. Storytimes provide pre-literacy skill development for children <br />and training for their parents. Every week the Library offers 12 Storytimes, plus the offsite <br />Storytime-To-Go program. <br />In FY18, a total of 986 programs for young kids, were attended by 30,012 people. <br />TEENS: Teen Services were expanded even further in FY18. EPL adopted a national renowned <br />approach to teen services that puts an emphasis on hanging out, messing around, and <br />geeking out. To support this, the teen space at the Downtown Library doubled in size when <br />movies and music were relocated to the 2nd floor. The lives of many teens have been <br />touched in numerous ways: help passing GED <br />exams; introducing them to their new favorite <br />author; teaching them technology skills to help <br />prepare them for future tech jobs; and so on. <br />Every day hundreds of teens are coming in for <br />the safety, support, and inspiration provided <br />by the Library. <br />In FY18, a total of 187 programs for teens were <br />attended by 2,080 people. <br />The number of programs provided to teens has <br />increased at all three locations 62% with the <br />support of levy funds. <br />Adults, teens, and kids are informed, entertained, and inspired at EPL programs. <br />In FY18, the total number of programs delivered was 2,173, exceeding the goal of 1,800. <br />Total attendance at programs for in FY18 was 67,478. <br />Photoof Teen Center <br />Spread out over one of the new teen room tables Drake works on a puzzle. He has moved <br />to Eugene from Indiana, but is now homeless. As he works on the puzzle with the Teen <br />Librarian he talks about being so close to obtaining his GED, but doesn’t know how to finish <br />and figures he might as well give up. When Cat, another teen in the room, sits down to help <br />with the puzzle they begin to talk. Even though they had never met, she offers to take him <br />across the street to Lane Community College to help him sign up for the same classes <br />she is taking. Now, they are both close to finishing their GED’s and spend all their free <br />time in the Teen Center.January 14, 2019, Work Session – Item 3
