Hood River County
Hood River Library Planning for a New Service Model
Grant:
10-17-1p
Grant Award: $10,000
The Hood River County Library System closed June 30, 2010
due to the inability of the county government to continue funding operations
and support. November 2, 2010, the citizens of Hood River County voted to
create a Library Special District and elected a library board. District funds
will not be available until November 2011. This planning grant will help the
elected Board and the County develop necessary
processes, procedures and operational models based upon best practices and
available funding. As a result of this planning, the County and Board will
develop and implement a time line for re-establishing library services. This
project has no peer evaluation.

Boomers, Year 2
Grant: 10-03-1p
Grant Award: $52,793
The
goal of Kaboom! is to challenge our assumptions, our
language, and the way in which libraries organize adult and senior library
services to find new and engaging methods to address an emerging third lifephase in transformational ways. Kaboom! will provide new ideas and help inform the creation of a
distinct specialty within adult services, focusing on active, engaged older
adults during this second year of a two-year library demonstration project of
work to serve and engage boomers.

Oregon Council of
Oregon
Grant: 10-06-1o
Grant Award: $72,880
The Oregon Council of County Law
Libraries (OCCLL) was formed to improve the quality of county law libraries
statewide and foster communication and cooperation among them. Since the
funding for each county library is dependent on a percentage of the amount of
court filing fees each court receives, there are wide disparities in the
materials and staff available from county to county. This grant would
enable OCCLL to hire a consultant to study the county law libraries and make
recommendations to lessen disparities, foster better communication, and create
collection development plans which could include cooperative purchasing, and
help market our services to the legal community and general public through
conventional and electronic means.

County
Grant: 10-31-1p

patrons. In addition, the three libraries request support to establish and
maintain regular meetings that will insure that the discounted cards program is
on target.
