UM, SO JUST A FEW THINGS ABOUT THE LIBRARY.
WE HAVE FOUR PHYSICAL LOCATIONS WITHIN THE CITY OF GARLAND.
WE'RE IN THE CENTRAL LIBRARY TONIGHT, AS YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN MEETING HERE, BUT WE ALSO HAVE THE NORTH GARLAND LIBRARY, UH, THE SOUTH GARLAND LIBRARY THAT'S AT BROADWAY AND OATS.
AND THEN OUR BRAND NEW WEST GARLAND LIBRARY, LIKE THE WALNUT CREEK BRIDGE LIBRARY THAT'S AT THE, UH, HOLLOW BALL RANK, ET CETERA.
WE ALSO HAVE TWO LIBRARY KIOSKS ARE SORT OF LIKE, UH, VENDING MACHINES, RED BOX, UH, DISPENSERS FOR LIBRARY MATERIALS.
UM, ONE OF THOSE IS RIGHT DOWN AT CITY HALL, UM, RIGHT ACROSS FROM THE SQUARE.
AND THE OTHER ONE IS AT LAWNWOOD PARK.
UM, WE'VE GOT THE LIBRARY ONLINE.
SO WE OFFER TONS OF DIFFERENT RESOURCES, DIGITAL RESOURCES, DOWNLOADABLES THAT ARE AVAILABLE FROM THE WEBSITE THAT'S OFFERED 24 7, WHERE OUR PHYSICAL LOCATIONS HAVE LIMITED HOURS OF WHICH COME IN.
AND THEN IF YOU DON'T ALREADY FOLLOW US, FEEL FREE TO FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM.
WE PUT A TON OF, UH, PIECES OF INFORMATION PROGRAM SERVICES THAT WE'RE DOING IN CELEBRATIONS THAT WE'RE DOING OUR SOCIAL EP REALLY HARD TO READ HERE, BUT THESE ARE JUST OUR HOURS.
BUT WE'VE ALSO GOT IN FRONT OF YOU A CAN YOU MAKE IT BIGGER SHELF? CAN YOU MAKE IT BIGGER? I STILL THINK I CAN MAKE THE, THE PRESENTATION FOR THE CLOSE CAPTIONING, BUT, UH, HAVE A COPY OF OFF THE SHELF IN FRONT OF YOU, WHICH IS, OH, YEAH.
CAN YOU HAVE, CAN YOU HAVE THE CAPTIONING ON THE BOTTOM? NOT SURE.
UM, WOULD YOU, WELL, IF YOU CAN SEE, UH, LIVE CAPTIONING OPTION RIGHT THERE.
DO YOU SEE THAT? SEE, HERE'S THE, YEAH, THAT'LL PUT THE CAPTIONS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN.
DO THE WHOLE, THE BIG, UM, MAKE THE POWERPOINT LARGER.
SO THE WHOLE SCREEN, SAME SIZE.
YES, THAT'S, IT WAS WORKING FINE LAST MONTH.
I ALSO GOT A COPY OF OFF SHELF.
THIS HAS INFORMATION IN IT WITH, UH, LOCATIONS, HOURS.
THERE'S ALSO FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM ON THE BACK.
UM, OH NO, WE HAVE EMAIL ADDRESSES IN HERE TOO ABOUT LOOK BACK PAGE.
UM, A WAY TO CONTACT US IF YOU HAVE QUESTION PROGRAM IDEAS, DIFFERENT PIECES OF THE COLLECTION THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE, CONTACT INFORMATION.
AND THEN AS SHE MINIMIZED IT, I CAN'T GET IT TO
SO, JUST NOW, OVERALL, UM, WHAT WE GET TO DO AT PUBLIC LIBRARIES IS WE GET TO PROVIDE INFORMATION, RESOURCES, PROGRAMS FOR ALL RESIDENTS, FOR EVERYONE.
UH, WHETHER IT'S A PHYSICAL ITEM, LIKE, UH, THE, THE BOOKS THAT WE CHECK OUT, THE STREAMING SERVICES THAT WE HAVE, THE DATABASES THAT WE HAVE, WE'VE GOT SPACES IN ALL OF OUR DIFFERENT LIBRARIES THAT HELP FACILITATE INNOVATION, CREATIVITY, CURIOSITY OF MAKER SPACES.
WE OFFER DIFFERENT, UM, PIECES OF TECHNOLOGY OF ALL OF OUR DIFFERENT LOCATIONS.
SO SOME OF IT IS JUST, YOU KNOW, YOU NEED ACCESS TO BE ABLE TO MAKE A COPY OF SOMETHING.
SCAN SERVICES NEED ACCESS TO WIFI OR COMPUTER ON INTO
[00:10:01]
SOME MORE HIGHER TECH THINGS WITH BEING ABLE TO GOT STUDY ROOMS, COMMUNITY ROOMS THAT HAVE TWO WAY TEAMS, NAVIGATION, HOLD VIRTUAL MEETING, HAVE A TELEHEALTH VISIT, DO SOMETHING THAT WAY USING OUR FACILITY.SO BACK IN 20 18, 20 19, WE DID A, A MASSIVE OVERALL TO OUR LIBRARY MASTER PLAN.
THAT LIBRARY MASTER PLANS HAVE ALLOTTED DIFFERENT THINGS FROM PROGRAMS, STAFFING, UM, THE TECHNOLOGY, UH, COLLECTION, DEVELOPMENT, ALL THESE DIFFERENT FACETS THAT WERE A PART OF THAT PLAN.
WE HADN'T UPDATED THAT PLAN IN A NUMBER OF YEARS, SO IT WAS REALLY PAST TIME FOR US TO LOOK AT THAT PLAN.
UM, BUT THE BIG CORE THINGS THAT CAME OUT, UH, ESPECIALLY AS IT DEALT WITH, UH, ACCESSIBILITY FOR HOW OUR BUILDINGS ARE CONSTRUCTED, UM, WHAT WE PROVIDE DIFFERENT PIECES OF THE COLLECTION THAT WE PROVIDE.
'CAUSE PEOPLE LEARN IN DIFFERENT WAYS, UH, THE DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT PIECES OF THE COLLECTION THAT CAN HELP FACILITATE THAT.
OUR LIBRARY PROGRAMMING AND PARTNERSHIPS.
AND WE'RE GONNA TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR LIBRARY PROGRAMMING AND PARTNERSHIPS.
PARTNERSHIPS ARE INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT FOR US TO BE ABLE TO BRING IN, UM, ADDING VALUE TO, TO WHAT WE ALREADY OFFER, LIBRARY TECHNOLOGY, AND THEN A VERY BIG KEY COMPONENT WITH STAFF TRAINING, UH, THAT WE PROVIDE FOR OUR STAFF TO BE ABLE TO GO BACK AND, AND DO A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE WERE NOT DOING BEFORE.
SO IN OUR BUILDINGS, ACCESSIBILITY ACTUALLY STARTS WITH US, US THINKING ABOUT HOW PEOPLE USE OUR FACILITY.
UM, HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN IN THIS BUILDING BEFORE IT WAS RENOVATED? AWESOME.
YOU'LL HAVE A REALLY GOOD FRAME OF REFERENCE FOR THAT.
SO, FOR OTHER LIBRARIES, SOMETIMES THAT CAN BE REALLY HARD BECAUSE WE, WE PROVIDE SERVICES FOR ALL PEOPLE, ALL AGES, ALL WALKS OF LIFE.
UH, WE'RE TRYING TO LOOK THROUGH THINGS WHEN WE'RE, UH, MAKING RENOVATIONS OR CONSTRUCTING A BUILDING THROUGH THE LENS OF A LOT OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
SO FOR A CHILD, WHAT'S IMPORTANT FOR A CHILD TO BE ABLE TO HAVE YOU HAVE A MOBILITY ISSUE AND WE'RE CONSTRUCTING A BUILDING, WHAT'S A WAY THAT WE CAN HELP MINIMIZE THE BARRIER THAT IF YOU HAD A MOBILITY ISSUE COMING INTO THE BUILDING, WE COULD HELP MITIGATE THAT.
UM, ON DOWN TO FURNITURE PATHWAYS, HOW THE SHELVING IS CONFIGURED, WHERE THE SHELVING IS CONFIGURED, UH, ALL, IT ALL PLAYS A HUGE ROLE.
WE TAKE A LOT OF TIME IN TRYING TO DEVELOP THE OVERALL LAYOUT AND FUNCTIONALITY OF THE BUILDING.
UM, ALL OF OUR BUILDINGS, WHETHER WE'RE DOING THE RENOVATION OR IT'S A NEW BUILD, WE GO THROUGH A DA AND TEXAS ACCESSIBILITY STANDARDS FOR USE THAT TASK, UH, REVIEW WHICH TASK IS MORE, UM, STRICT THAN THE ACTUAL A DA, UH, RULES THAT WE GO ABOUT.
UM, AND THEN I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT FOR TWO OF THE BUILDINGS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON OR HAVE WORKED ON, ONE OF OUR ARCHITECTS ACTUALLY EMPLOYS, UH, AN ACCESSIBILITY EXPERT, UM, TO HELP FACILITATE SOME OF THE, THE PROCESS AND HELP REVIEW SOME OF THE THINGS, THE DECISIONS THAT ARE MADE FROM THAT ACCESSIBILITY STANDPOINT.
SO, JUST TO GIVE YOU SOME EXAMPLES, UM, THIS BUILDING IN PARTICULAR, WE DID A COMPLETE OVERHAUL.
AND INITIALLY WHEN WE STARTED LOOKING AT RENOVATING THIS BUILDING, WHICH IS ALL OUTLINED IN THE MASTER PLAN AS WELL, WE, WE HAD A FEW REALLY BIG THINGS, AND I'LL SAY BIG TICKET ITEMS THAT WE WANTED TO IMPROVE.
ORIGINALLY, THE FRONT ENTRANCE WAS RIGHT OVER HERE, NOT THAT FAR.
IF YOU WERE PARKING YOUR CAR IN THE WEST SIDE OVER IN THE EAST SIDE, EVEN IN FRONT, AND TRYING TO MAKE YOUR WAY OUT OF YOUR CAR, GET TO A SIDEWALK, MAKE ALL THE WAY TO THE FRONT DOOR, IT WAS, I THINK WE LIKE MEASURED IT AT ONE POINT.
IT WAS LONGER THAN A FOOTBALL FIELD IN FRONT CASES TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THAT TRACK.
THEN GETTING INTO THE FRONT, UH, THE FRONT DOOR OF THE BUILDING AND GETTING TO A SERVICE DESK WAS ANOTHER LONG HAUL TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
AND THEN GETTING TO, IF WE WERE HAVING A LARGE PROGRAM, THIS ACTUAL SPACE WAS LOCATED IN FAR BACK REACHES OF THE BUILDING, NOT CLOSE TO ANY PARKING.
SO YOU HAD TO GO FURTHER BACK INTO THE BACK OF THE BUILDING.
WELL, IF YOU ARE USING A CANE, USING A WALKER, IF FROM A USABILITY STANDPOINT, UM, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE SOMEONE WHO HAS A MOBILITY ISSUE, SOME OF
[00:15:01]
OUR ELDERLY PATRONS, UM, BOND OR DADS WITH MULTIPLE CHILDREN, YOU'VE GOT BAGS.YOU BUY THINGS, IT'S HARD TO GET IN THE BUILDING WHEN YOU'RE HAVING TO PARK ALL THE PAPERS HERE AND CHECK IN.
SO WE MADE A CASE FOR WANTING TO READ FORWARD THAT THE, THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING TO THE WEST LINE AND JUST
WE STILL MAINTAIN THE PEDESTRIAN ENTRANCE OFF AUSTIN, LIKE, YOU KNOW, SO WALKERS BIKE, THEY CAN STILL HAVE EASY ACCESS THERE.
BUT THIS WAS A BIG NEWS THAT HELPED MOVING THIS ROOM AND THE WAY THAT IT'S USED AND HOW WE USE IT TO THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING, UH, TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO GET IN, UH, ALSO HAS HELPED A LOT.
AND THEN THERE WERE A COUPLE OF REASONS WE WANTED TO MOVE THE BUILDING.
ONE WAS FOR ACCESS TWO WAS BECAUSE THIS ROOM ALSO GETS SOMETIMES USED FOR BEFORE OR AFTER HOURS FOR PROGRAMS WITH DIFFERENT GROUPS THAT ARE USING IT.
AND WE HAVE A WAY TO BE ABLE TO LOCK OFF THE DETECTION WITH RESIDENT WITH WATER FOUNTAINS WITH AN EXIT, UH, AND STILL KEEP THE LIBRARIES LOCKED IF IT'S BEFORE OR AFTER HOURS.
UM, LOOKING AT LIKE OUR DESKS, WE WANTING TO MAKE SURE THAT IF IT'S ON THE CHILDREN'S LEVEL, THAT IT'S, IT'S CERTAIN HEIGHT TO BE ABLE TO BE ACCESSIBLE FOR CHILDREN, BUT ALSO FOR ADULTS.
WE'RE TRYING TO REALLY, UH, MAKE ALL OF OUR SERVICE POINTS USER FRIENDLY NO MATTER UNDERSTANDING OR SITTING.
UH, AND WE'RE REALLY CAREFUL ABOUT THAT.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, UM, WE SPENT A A LOT OF TIME ON FOR ALL OF THE, THE SHELVING HERE AND THE SHELVING THAT WE HAVE AT WEST, ESPECIALLY IN THE ADULT COLLECTION.
ORIGINALLY WE HAD 90 INCH SHELVING, UM, FOR ADULTS, WHICH IS QUITE TALL, QUITE TALL.
UM, WE HAD KICKSTANDS ALL OVER THE PLACE, WHICH THAT'S A RISK LIABILITY AS WELL.
YOU'RE HAVING TO GET UP ON A STOOL TO BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING UP ON THOSE TOP TWO SHELVES.
WE ACTUALLY LOWERED THE SHELVES TO 60, 66 INCHES AND THEN BOUGHT NEW SHELVES FOR THE BOTTOM ABOVE SHELF
SO YOU CAN SORT OF READ BETTER THE, THE MATERIALS ON THAT BOTTOM SHELF TO READ THE SPINE OR UP LIKE THIS THAT ARE JUST LIKE THIS.
SO OUR ARCHITECT IS REALLY AWESOME IN HELPING US LOOK AT SOME OF THOSE LITTLE DETAILS THAT END UP MAKING A REALLY BIG DIFFERENCE WHEN PEOPLE ARE SEARCHING THE SHELVES.
UM, AND THEN ONE OTHER HIGHLIGHT I'LL I'LL MENTION IS IF YOU'VE BEEN DOWNSTAIRS TO THE CHILDREN'S FLOOR AROUND THE STAIRCASE, WE HAVE THESE LITTLE READING BOOKS THAT ARE BUILT INTO THE STAIRCASES.
THEY'RE ADORABLE AND THEY'RE FUN, THEY'RE ALWAYS FILLED UP.
BUT WE ALSO ADDED ONE OF THOSE BOOKS THAT'S EXCESSIVE IN FOR A CHILD THAT MAY BE IN A WHEELCHAIR.
SO THEY CAN STILL HAVE A UNIQUE AND FUN EXPERIENCE AND HAVE THAT INFLUENCE SPACE EVEN IF THEY CAN'T CRAWL UP INTO ONE OF THE, THE OTHER SPACES.
SO OUR LIBRARY PROGRAM PARTNERSHIPS, OUR GOAL IS TO CREATE A WELCOME ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL OF OUR USERS.
UM, AND THE PROGRAMS AND THE PARTNERS THAT WE HAVE OUT IN THE COMMUNITY HELP US BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
WE HAVE A REALLY AWESOME NETWORK OF OTHER PROFESSIONAL LIBRARIANS, EDUCATORS, AND EXPERTS IN THE FIELD THAT HELP US BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THESE IN OUR COMMUNITY.
SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE REALLY DO IS WE, WE WORK AND HAVE A GREAT PARTNERSHIP WITH GISD, UM, AND SOME OTHER LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS, BUT WE TRY TO TAKE ACCOUNT, UH, IF GISD IS SEEN A RISE OR A DECLINE IN A PARTICULAR, UM, SERVICE FOR, UH, STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS, WE TRY TO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION FOR, FOR TRAINING ON IT AND SEEING WHAT PARTS OF THE COLLECTION DO MAY WE NEED TO AMEND TO PROVIDE SERVICE FOR AT THEIR PROGRAM THAT WE NEED TO START TAILORING AND THEN PROVIDING SERVICES FOR.
JUST TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE BACK IN 20 18, 20 19, UM, THEY REALLY STARTED TO INCREASE THE SERVICES FOR, UM, STUDENTS, UH, THAT ARE NEURODIVERGENT, UM, AND THAT HAVE DYSLEXIA.
SO WE STARTED LOOKING AT TRYING DIFFERENT THINGS FOR US TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE HEALTH AND RESOURCES PROGRAMS FOR THOSE TWO THINGS.
AND IT'S, IT'S A GREAT PARTNERSHIP
[00:20:02]
WE'VE DONE AN AMAZING JOB WITH, UH, I THINK PROVIDING MATERIALS, UH, AND PROGRAMS, ESPECIALLY FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES.IN THE PAST YEAR, YEAR AND A HALF, WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO, UM, EXPAND THAT PROGRAMMING FOR ADULTS AS WELL.
UH, THIS WAS ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT WE DID, AND THIS WAS ACTUALLY AFTER HAVING SOME CONVERSATIONS WITH SOME DIFFERENT COMMUNITY MEMBERS ON WHAT, UH, A PROGRAM THAT THEY WOULD BE INTERESTED IN COMING TO.
SO WE DID SENSORY AFTER HOURS THAT ALL FOUR LOCATIONS WERE OPEN IN THE EVENING AFTER THE LIBRARY WAS CLOSED, IT WAS, YOU SIGN UP FOR IT, OKAY, YOU CHECK YOUR ID AT THE DOOR, DOOR
AND IT REALLY PROVIDED A QUIETER AND CALMER ATMOSPHERE FOR SOME OF THESE INDIVIDUALS TO COME IN AND EXPERIENCE THE LIBRARY.
WE HAD, UM, BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH LANGUAGE STAFF, UH, HERE TO BEING ABLE TO HELP FACILITATE THAT, OR WE ISSUED LIBRARY CARDS.
WE WANTED IT TO MAKE IT A REALLY WELCOMING AND FRIENDLY PLACE WHERE, ESPECIALLY CENTRAL, ESPECIALLY SOUTH, THERE'S IT DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE DAY.
THERE'S A LOT OF MOVEMENT, A LOT OF NOISE, A LOT OF WONDERFUL CONTROL, CHAOS THAT HAPPENS AT THE LIBRARY, UH, WHICH MAY BE COUNTERINTUITIVE TO WHAT A PUBLIC LIBRARY OFFERS.
SO TRYING TO PROVIDE THAT, THAT MORE COMFORTABLE SPACE WAS THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT.
UM, AND THEN SOME OF OUR PROGRAMS ARE NOT NECESSARILY PROMOTED, UM, DISABILITY SPECIFIC.
SO THIS IS OUR FAMILY PLACE, UM, PROGRAM.
OUR SOUTH CAROLINA LIBRARY HAS A VERY SPECIAL DESIGNATION.
WE'VE GONE THROUGH THREE YEARS OF TRAINING JUST TO RECEIVE OUR ACCREDITATION TO BECOME A FAMILY PLACE LIBRARY.
THIS IS A REALLY COOL PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES, UM, A SPECIAL COLLECTION, UH, RESOURCES, UH, DIFFERENT PROGRAMS, REALLY TARGETING CHILDREN AND FAMILY FROM ZERO TO TO FIVE, BUT WITH A CONCENTRATION ON ZERO TO THREE.
THIS PROGRAM INVITES, UH, FAMILIES TO COME.
YOU'LL COME FOR LIKE SIX OR EIGHT WEEKS, BUT THERE'LL BE DIFFERENT EXPERTS THAT COME.
SO IT COULD BE SOMEBODY, THE MEDICAL PROFESSION, A NUTRITIONIST, UH, WE'VE HAD DENTISTS COME, WE'VE HAD SOMEONE, UH, WITH, UH, CHILD AND BEHAVIOR COME.
AND IT GIVES THE PARENT A A CHANCE TO BE ABLE TO INTERACT WITH THEIR CHILD, BE WITH THEIR CHILD WITH AN EXPERT, AND KIND ASK THE EXPERT SOME QUESTIONS IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT, UH, TO BE ABLE TO SEE LIKE, IS MY CHILD READING THE, UH, NOT THE BENCHMARKS, BUT THE, UH, THE DEVELOPMENTAL MILESTONES, LIKE THEY SHOULD BE.
UH, WE'RE HOPING THAT THEY, THEY HIT.
YEAH, THIS IS A PRETTY POWERFUL PROGRAM.
AND I'LL SAY FOR ALL OF OUR CHILDREN'S PROGRAMS, UM, THIS HAS HELPED GIVE PARENTS THE INFORMATION IN SOME COMPARISON OF LIKE WHERE THEIR CHILD WAS AT
AND JUST AS AN EXAMPLE TO REALLY ILLUSTRATE THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN IN OUR LIBRARIES, BUT IN ANOTHER PUBLIC LIBRARY.
UM, THERE WAS A MOTHER WHO, IT WAS HER FIRST CHILD WHOSE CHILD WAS A TODDLER.
SHE CAME TO ONE OF THE PROGRAMS FOR, UM, SMALL CHILDREN AND NOTICED THAT ALL THE OTHER CHILDREN WERE MAKING NOISES.
UM, COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY WERE SAYING, BUT THEY WERE MAKING NOISES AND, AND INTERACTING.
HER CHILD WASN'T MAKING ANY NOISE YET.
AND IT WAS A CLUE FOR HER THAT THERE MAY BE SOMETHING THAT SHE NEEDED TO, TO ASK HER DOCTOR ABOUT.
AND THERE WAS A, THERE WAS SOMETHING, UM, THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG.
BUT THAT INTERACTION AND THAT ENVIRONMENT FOR HER TO BE ABLE TO COME IN AND THEN HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH AN EXPERT AND THEN REACH OUT AND GET SOME HELP FROM HER FAMILY DOCTOR WAS REALLY PART OF WHAT HELPED HER BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE, THE NECESSARY HELP FOR HER CHILD, WHICH SHE WAS ABLE TO DO.
SHE SAID IT HAPPENED AT THE LIBRARY.
IT STILL MAKES ME LIKE TEAR UP
AND THEN WE HAVE OTHER THINGS LIKE WE, UH, PARTNER AND HAVE GREAT CONNECTIONS.
SO THE TALKING BOOK PROGRAM IS A, UM, FEDERAL AND STATE PROGRAM THAT WE CAN HELP HOOK UP DIFFERENT PEOPLE WITHIN THE LIBRARY ARE ACTUALLY ONE OF THE PLACES THAT WE CAN SIGN THE, THE DOCUMENTATION FOR YOU TO, UH, QUALIFY FOR THIS PROGRAM.
THAT IF SOMEONE, UM, HAS, UH, IS BLIND OR HAS A SITE, UH, DISABILITY, THIS IS A FREE PROGRAM
[00:25:01]
THAT YOU, UH, HAVE ACCESS TO AUDIBLE, UM, LIKE, UH, IT'S NOT BOOKS ON TAPE, BUT IT'S A SPECIAL PLATFORM OR SPECIAL PLAYER THAT GETS SENT TO YOU.UM, THINGS YOU HAVE TO GO BACK AND FORTH IN THE MAIL.
I THINK THEY DIGITIZED A LOT OF IT NOW, BUT THERE'S NO COST TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS PROGRAM.
ALSO PROVIDE SOME RESOURCES IN BRI AS WELL.
UH, THEY HAVE RESOURCES FOR CHILDREN AND, BUT IF YOU HAVE SOMEONE, YOU HAVE TO HAVE LIKE A DOCTOR'S SIGNATURE AND SOMEONE ELSE, SOMEONE ELSE'S SIGNATURE TO QUALIFY.
AND WE CAN DO THAT HERE AT BILL LIBRARY TO HELP QUALIFY FOR THAT PROGRAM.
AGAIN, ANOTHER THING THAT WE OFFER IS OUR, UH, LIBRARY OUTREACH.
SO WE LAUNCHED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, LONGER STORY FOR ANOTHER TIME, REALLY, IT STARTED DURING COVID, BUT WE, WE ENTERED A NEW PHASE OF IT IS OUR LIBRARY OF HOME PROGRAM.
SO IF YOU'RE SOMEONE, DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S WORTH SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, LONGER PERIOD OF TIME.
UM, IF YOU HAVE AN ILLNESS, IF YOU HAVE A MOBILITY ISSUE, UM, THERE'S A, THERE'S A REASON THAT YOU CAN'T LEAVE YOUR HOME.
WE'LL BRING LIBRARY MATERIALS TO YOU.
AND IT'S, UH, EVERY THREE WEEKS, OR I'M SORRY, EVERY MONTH, UH, A LOT OF QUESTIONNAIRE.
LET US KNOW WHAT KIND OF MATERIALS YOU LIKE IS YOUR FAVORITE AUTHOR.
WE GIVE YOU A BAG FULL OF MATERIALS.
WE TAKE BACK THE BAG OF MATERIALS THAT WE'VE HANDED OFF, AND IT'S JUST THIS GREAT, UH, TRADE OFF.
UM, WE ALSO DID THE DIFFERENT SENIOR CENTERS AND DIFFERENT PLACES TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION AND DIFFERENT, UH, MATERIALS, BUT, WE'LL, WE'LL ALSO GO OUT TO DIFFERENT GROUPS.
AND YOU CAN SEE HERE THE, THE TOP PHOTOS.
BUT A GREAT, UM, VISIT AT THE WARREN CENTER, UH, LAST WEEK, OR I THINK IT WAS LAST WEEK.
UM, BUT WE'LL GO, WE'LL DO DIFFERENT SIGNUPS, DIFFERENT, UM, WE BASICALLY CAN TAKE THE LIBRARY TO A CLASSROOM, A GROUP, UH, A DIFFERENT PLACE, UM, INSTEAD OF PEOPLE HAVING TO COME TO US.
AND THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO BE INTRODUCED TO THE LIBRARY AND HAVE ACCESS TO RESOURCES AND PROGRAMS AS WELL.
LIKE I SAID EARLIER, WE REALLY RELY ON OUR PARTNERSHIPS, UM, TO BE ABLE TO EXPAND WHAT WE'RE ABLE TO OFFER TO THE PUBLIC.
UM, WE PARTNER WITH OUTSIDE ORGANIZATIONS TO HELP, UH, EXPAND ACCESSIBLE LIBRARY PROGRAMS, SERVICES, AND OUR PARTNERS HELP US, UH, PROVIDE RESOURCES, EXPERTISE, AND LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR LIBRARY PATRONS AND STAFF, WHICH IS A CRITICAL COMPONENT.
SO ONE OF THE REALLY COOL PARTNERSHIPS THAT WE, JEFF ENDED NOT TOO LONG AGO WAS THE MAKING MOVEMENT MATTER.
THIS WAS A PARTNERSHIP WE HAD WITH UNIVERSITY OF, UH, TEXAS AT DALLAS, UM, WITH THEIR ACCESSIBLE PROSTHETICS INITIATIVE.
SO THIS ONE'S A FOUR WEEK PROGRAM JUST FOR TEAMS. IT WAS, UH, STEAM RELATED, BUT THE, THE TEAMS CAME IN.
UM, UTB UH, TEAM CAME AND WORKED THIS GROUP OF TEAMS TO UNDERSTAND, LIKE, UH, THE WHOLE GOAL WAS TO CREATE SOMETHING THAT WOULD HELP, UM, SOMEONE WHO WAS SUFFERING FROM A, A MOBILITY ISSUE BE ABLE TO COMPLETE, UH, AN EVERYDAY TASK EASIER.
AND SO THE FIRST DAY THEY WERE HERE, THEY WENT THROUGH AN EXERCISE TO LEARN LIKE WHAT OR EXPERIENCE, WHAT HAVING A CERTAIN DISABILITY WOULD, WOULD FEEL LIKE, AND TRY TO PUT THEM IN, IN THEIR SHOES OVER ADVANCE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS.
THE TEAMS ACTUALLY, THEY, THEY GOT TO BRAINSTORM.
THEY GOT TO MAKE SOME DIFFERENT PROTOTYPES AND ACTUALLY COME OUT ON THE END WITH, UM, USING OUR MAKER SPACE.
THEY ACTUALLY GOT A
I THINK THEY ENDED UP CHOOSING.
THEY DID, UM, THEY ENDED UP WANTING TO DESIGN SOMETHING THAT HELPED, UH, WITH, UM, GRIP.
SO SOMEONE WAS HAVING PROBLEMS GRIPING SOMETHING.
UM, THEY WANTED TO HELP IMPROVE THAT.
NOW THEY, THIS WAS NOT THE ONLY COMMENT.
THIS IS ONE OF THE, THE FAILURES THAT THEY MADE, BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY COOL.
THEY HAD THE CHANCE TO ACTUALLY EXPERIENCE SOMETHING.
UM, AND THEN IN THE END, THEY, THEY ACTUALLY DID MAKE PROTOTYPES, UH, SUBMITTED THOSE PROTOTYPES TO UTE, AND I THINK THEY'RE
[00:30:01]
ACTUALLY ONGOING OR DOING SOME ADDITIONAL TESTING TO SEE HOW IT ACTUALLY WORKS IN THE REAL WORLD.I WANTED TO BRING THIS TO, TO EXPERIENCE.
I THINK IT'S A REALLY BRAVE, UM, WAY TO SHOWCASE HOW IT'S, IT'S USING AMAZING TALENT THAT WE HAVE, UH, TO, TO TRY TO HELP SOLVE SOME PROBLEMS. THERE'S ACTUALLY THROUGH THIS GROUP TOO, WE LEARNED ABOUT, UM, THERE'S A THINK 10 OR 11-YEAR-OLD WHO USES A WHEELCHAIR IN GARLAND.
UM, HE IS REALLY INTERESTED IN USING A 3D PRINTER TO PRINT, UM, PARTS OF A WHEELCHAIR BECAUSE PRETEND HE'S GONNA BE GROWING.
WHEELCHAIRS ARE EXPENSIVE, AND HE 3D PRINT PARTS OF THE WHEELCHAIR THAT TO GROW WITH HIM UNTIL, YOU KNOW, AS A FULL ADULT, THAT HELPS TO CUT DOWN ON COST.
BUT THEORETICALLY YOU COULD DO THAT IF THE LIBRARY JUST THROUGH THE, THE 3D PRINTER AND, UM, FINGER CAP, WHICH IS PRETTY COOL.
BUT I THOUGHT THIS WAS A REALLY GREAT EXAMPLE OF IT GAVE THESE KIDS A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE, HELP THEM BE ABLE TO PROBLEM SOLVE AND HOPEFULLY HAVE A PRODUCT ON THE OTHER END THAT'S BENEFICIAL.
WE ALSO DO, UM, TONS OF LIBRARY TOURS AND VISITS.
UH, I'LL SAY, UH,
UM, THIS GROUP VISITS CENTRAL.
THEY VISIT THE WEST PART, THE LIBRARY AS WELL.
UM, THE BIG TAKEAWAY HERE IS, UH, WE WANT TO BE AS INCLUSIVE AS POSSIBLE, AND WE REALLY LIKE TO WORK WITH OUR DIFFERENT COMMUNITY GROUPS THAT IF YOU WANNA SCHEDULE A TOUR, SCHEDULE A PROGRAM, WE CAN DO SOMETHING SPECIFIC FOR YOUR GROUP, UH, TO HELP MEET THE NEEDS OF THE GROUP.
UM, THESE STUDENTS, GREAT KIDS CAME, I SHOULDN'T SAY KIDS.
YOUNG ADULTS CAME, UH, AND WE WERE ABLE TO TAILOR A TIME THAT IT WAS REALLY OFF PEAK HOURS FOR THE CHILDREN'S AREA.
THEY WANTED TO COME TO THE CHILDREN'S AREA, EXPERIENCE THE, THE ACTIVITY WALL CABIN PROGRAM, UH, DONE SPECIALLY FOR THE, AND WE SCHEDULED IT DURING A TIME THAT, THAT MET THEIR NEEDS, BUT ALSO ALLOWED THEM ALMOST FREE REIGN OF THE CHILDREN'S FLOOR DOWNSTAIRS SO THEY COULD GO AND DO ALL OF THOSE DIFFERENT TYPES OF THINGS UNINTENDED.
AND IT WAS, IT WAS AWESOME TO SEE HOW EXCITED THEY WERE ABOUT, UM, HAVING ACCESS TO THE, IT WAS A REALLY COOL VAULT.
WE'VE NOT GONE DOWNSTAIRS AND LOOKED AT THE GEAR VAULT, THE BLACK BRIDES OF OTHER THINGS.
I BROKEN IT, I'D SAY WITH OUR LIBRARY COLLECTION.
UM, ACCESSIBILITY FOR US MEANS BEING ABLE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE COLLECTION, BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE CHOICES, ESPECIALLY WITH HOW PEOPLE LEARN.
PEOPLE LEARN IN DIFFERENT WAYS, WAYS, UM, AND SO WE HAVE A MYRIAD OF WAYS FOR PEOPLE TO USE THE LIBRARY.
WITH THAT, I'M JUST GONNA PASS SOME OF THESE AROUND AGAIN.
SO BEFORE COURTNEY, UM, WE JUST LAUNCHED OUR LOCAL AUTHOR COLLECTION.
THIS IS A LITTLE BOY WHO LIVES IN BARLAND, BUT THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF BENJAMIN BOOKS THAT ARE BASED OFF OF, BUT THE, HIS MOM WANTED TO FACEBOOK BOOKS OFF OF HIM, UM, TO SHOWCASE CHILDREN WHO MAY HAVE A DISABILITY.
I THINK GARLAND AUTHOR AND BENJAMIN'S MCFARLAND RESIDENT AWESOME.
UM, RANDALL, AND THERE'S MORE INFORMATION ON THE FRONT PAGE ABOUT HER AND BENJAMIN
SO WE HAVE ALL SORTS OF DIFFERENT, UM, TYPES OF THINGS AND WHAT'S GOING AROUND NOW.
UM, THE CHILDREN'S BOOKS OVER HERE THAT MS. WHITE MIKE HAS ARE, ARE WONDER BOOKS.
SO IF YOU'RE A MEMBER READ ALONGS, UM, FROM PHASE OF OLD, IT'S BASICALLY A READ ALONG, WHICH HELPS CHILDREN, UM, ESPECIALLY THE, YOU KNOW, LEARNING TO READ, UM, MAY HAVE A SITE, UM, IMPAIRMENT.
YOU PUSH THE BUTTON IN THE BOOK, IT READS THE BOOK TO YOU, WHICH IS REALLY GREAT.
ALSO GREAT FOR CHILDREN WHO MAY HAVE, UM, DYSLEXIA, UM, OR ANOTHER TYPE OF LEARNING DISABILITY THAT, THAT READING
[00:35:01]
REALLY IS A, IS A STRUGGLE FOR.AND WE ALSO HAVE ALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF BOOKS THAT ARE LARGE PRINT.
SO AARON, YOU'VE GOT THE, THE, THE LARGE PRINT BOOKS LOVE LARGE PRINT BOOKS, LARGE PRINT BOOKS.
THEY'RE, THEY'RE LARGER AND THEY COME IN DIFFERENT SIZES.
SOME OF THESE, AND THIS IS REALLY, UM, DICTATED BY BOB OR, UH, THE PUBLISHER.
UM, WE'LL HAVE DIFFERENT GENE FICTION, YOUNG ADULT FICTION THAT COMES IN THE LARGER TIME.
UM, BUT AGAIN, SOME OF IT, THERE'S A SMALLER SELECTION FOR CHILDREN'S JUST BECAUSE OF PUBLISHER OR WORKING WITH THE PUBLISHERS.
UM, WE HAVE ALL SORTS OF DIFFERENT TOOLS AS WELL.
SO WE HAVE, UM, PLAYAWAYS, WHICH ARE LIKE MP THREES AT THE BRANCH LOCATIONS THAT YOU CAN CHECK OUT.
UM, WE STILL HAVE A VERY SMALL COLLECTION OF BOOKS ON CD, UM, FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO DO AUDIO BOOKS, MAYBE FROM A SIDE PYRAMID IMPAIRMENT, MAYBE FROM, UM, DYSLEXIA, UH, THAT IT IS JUST EASIER TO RE MAKE YOU LEARN BETTER FROM AUDIO RATHER THAN, YOU KNOW, PRINT.
UM, BUT WE ALSO HAVE A HUGE COLLECTION OF THINGS THROUGH LIVY.
AND I'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THE BEING JUSTIFIED.
WE'VE ALSO GOT, UH, THE LIBRARY OF THINGS AND OUR LIBRARY OF THINGS ARE NON-TRADITIONAL LIBRARY THING.
UM, JUST AS AN EXAMPLE, WE'VE GOT THESE REALLY COOL, UH, LE LINERS THAT YOU CAN CHECK OUT AND THEN YOU CAN READ.
I, I HAD A BATTERY THAT YOU COULD, UH, USE THIS TO READ YOUR PRINT AND YOU COULD CHECK IT OUT WHO YOU WANTED.
WE HAVE ALL SORTS OF DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND THEN LIBRARY TECHNOLOGY, UM, I THINK THIS IS A REALLY COOL THING.
SO A LOT OF OUR, OR I SHOULDN'T SAY A LOT, OUR PUBLIC ACCESS COMPUTERS, INCLUDING OUR CATALOG.
UM, THERE ARE DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS ON THE COMPUTER WITH ACCESSIBILITY FEATURES ON IT, ON ALL THE DIFFERENT COMPUTERS.
WE HAVE SPECIAL COMPUTERS, EXCUSE ME, PUBLIC ACCESS COMPUTERS, ONE SECOND, UM, THAT HAVE THE JAWS, UH, SOFTWARE ON IT.
JAWS WILL ACTUALLY BLOW UP THE TEXT ON THE COMPUTE FOR QUITE LARGE.
AND THERE'S A SPECIAL KEYBOARD THAT COMES WITH THAT AS WELL.
THAT'S REALLY AWESOME FOR, UM, SOMEONE WHO MAY HAVE SITE PARENT.
UM, OUR LIBRARY WEBSITE HAS THE NAVIGATION TOOLS, JUST LIKE THE, THE CITY'S WEBSITE DOES.
AND IT'S JUST BEEN, I THINK, UPDATED THE LATEST, UH, SPECIFICATIONS.
SO I THINK THE DEADLINE FOR THAT ACTUALLY GOT MOVED BACK, I THINK GOT
AND THEN MANY OF OUR DIGITAL PLATFORMS, LIBBY, UM, ANY OF OUR GAIL DATABASES, THEY HAVE SOME REALLY COOL FEATURES THAT, UM, ACCESSIBILITY FEATURES WITH THEM.
SO IF YOU USE LIBBY, UM, AND LIBBY IS OUR, BASICALLY OUR DIGITAL RESOURCES FOR, UH, DOWNLOAD MAGAZINE, EBOOKS, AUDIO BOOKS, ALL THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.
UM, THERE'S THIS REALLY COOL FEATURE UNDER SET CLICK, EXCUSE ME, VOICE, CLICK ON ACCESSIBILITY.
THERE ARE ALL TYPES OF DIFFERENT WAYS THAT YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE LIBBY, UM, OR
THERE'S ALSO A REALLY COOL FEATURE THAT NOT A LOT OF OTHER, UM, APPS HAVE THAT'S FOR DYSLEXIA.
SO IT WILL TURN ON, UM, THAT SPECIAL DYSLEXIA, UH,
MY NIECE USES IT ALL THE TIME.
UM, BUT THIS IS, IF YOU HELP FINDING IT ON YOUR LIBBY APP, I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO HELP YOU.
I BE ABLE TO NOW, WHERE DO YOU GET THE APP? I'M SORRY.

UM, BUT THAT'S A REALLY COOL CHARACTER.
UM, YOU CAN SPEED UP IF IT'S AN AUDIO BOOK, YOU CAN SPEED UP HOW FAST IT'S READ IT, SLOW IT DOWN, YOU CAN MAKE THINGS BIGGER.
UM, THERE'S DIFFERENT COLOR OPTIONS, FONTS, UH, IT'S REALLY COOL AND CUSTOMIZABLE IN THOSE WAYS.
A LOT OF OUR OTHER DATABASES LIKE GAIL

AND THE LEARNING EXPRESS LIBRARY, WHICH YOU HAVE ANY, UM, KIDS AT HOME THAT ARE GETTING READY TO TAKE ANY OF THE STANDARDIZED TESTS THAT ONE HAS.
UH, SEVERAL DIFFERENT, UH, MULTI OR DIFFERENT FORMATS THAT YOU CAN MANIPULATE, INCLUDING VIDEOS AND TEXTS TO BE ABLE TO HELP THE LEARN.
SO TRAINING IS REALLY IMPORTANT.
UM, FOR US, WE'RE VERY COMMITTED TO, TO TRAINING AND BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE OUR STAFF WITH WHAT, WHAT THEIR NEED TO BE ABLE TO EXECUTE WHILE POSSIBLE.
UM, WE'VE DEVELOPED A REALLY STRONG FOUNDATION WITH OUR YOUTH SERVICES PROGRAM, AND NOW WE'RE TRYING TO EXPAND THAT TRAINING AND, UM, HOLDINGS, PROGRAM SERVICES FOR, UH, I WOULD SAY YOUNG ADULTS AND ADULTS.
UM, WE HAVE FORMED IN THE LAST YEAR TO 18 MONTHS AN ADAPTIVE PROGRAMMING TEAM, WHICH IS MADE UP OF SEVERAL OF OUR, UM, PROFESSIONAL STAFF MEMBERS.
UH, THEY GET TOGETHER ON A REGULAR BASIS AND BRAINSTORM, UH, TALK ABOUT PRINTING THAT'S OUT THERE AND DEVELOP PROGRAMS TO BE ABLE TO OFFER THE PUBLIC.
UM, IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE DO THAT.
I'LL SAY THAT, THAT LAST, UM, POINT ON THERE ABOUT PATRON FEEDBACK.
THAT IS A REALLY CRITICAL COMPONENT AS TO ALL PARTS OF THE LIBRARY, BUT ESPECIALLY ABOUT ACCESSIBILITY SERVICES, ACCESSIBILITY PROGRAM THAT WE OFFER.
WE NEED THAT FEEDBACK AND THAT CONSTANT COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMUNITY TO HELP US BETTER UNDERSTAND, BE ABLE TO PROVIDE RESOURCES, MATERIALS, PROGRAMS THAT ARE NEEDED IN OUR COMMUNITY.
WE DON'T WANNA DO IT IN A VACUUM.
SO I THINK FROM A LIBRARY STANDPOINT, WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS FORMING AND LOOK FORWARD.
IT DOES NOT LET YOU BUT LOOK FORWARD TO LIKE COLLABORATING AND GETTING TOGETHER ON A SEMI-REGULAR BASIS TO LEARN ABOUT WHAT THOSE NEEDS ARE SO WE CAN ADAPT TO WHAT THINGS IS.
UM, AND OUR SUCCESS IS BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE THOSE RESOURCES, PROGRAMMING AND OUR COMMUNITY RELIES ON THAT.
OUR RELATIONSHIPS ARE IMPORTANT.
SO I THINK WE NEED TO DEVELOP, UH, WE HAVE SOME REALLY GREAT RELATIONSHIPS OUT IN THE COMMUNITY, BUT HAVING SOME HONEST CONVERSATIONS AND JUST SORTING HOW WE CAN BETTER SERVE REALLY WHAT WE'RE WE WANT TO DO.
SO I'VE GOT A COPY OF OFF THE SHELF.
I ALSO PUT, UM, HANDOUTS FOR SOME OF THE DIFFERENT DATABASE RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE.
AGAIN, ALL OF THAT IS FREE TO THE PUBLIC.
YOU JUST NEED A LIBRARY CARD AND ALL OF THOSE DIFFERENT TYPES OF RESOURCES OFFER PERSON CUSTOMIZABLE ACCESSIBILITY FEATURES WITH THEM AS WELL.
AND AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING, THANK YOU FOR COMING TO THE LIBRARY, BUT THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO BE ABLE TO PRESENT ABOUT US RESOURCES.
I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.
SO I'M NOTICING THAT YOU DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT DEAF CHILDREN OR DEAF ADULTS PROVIDING CAPTIONING, INTERPRETERS AND ALL OF THAT.
I DIDN'T HEAR YOU MENTION ANY OF THAT.
UM, WE'RE, SO FOR EXAMPLE, I SEE ALL OF THESE CLASSES HERE THAT ARE IN THIS PAMPHLET HERE.
THESE ARE CLASSES, RIGHT? CLASSES OR PROGRAMS. YEAH.
SO DO YOU PROVIDE CAPTIONS OR INTERPRETERS FOR THEM? WE PROVIDE CAPTIONS IF WE USE, UM, TECHNOLOGY FOR IT.
[00:45:01]
UM, INTERPRETERS WITH BY REQUEST.YOU NEED TO PUT THAT INFORMATION IN THE PAMPHLET ITSELF SO THAT PEOPLE KNOW THAT WE, YOU PROVIDE THE INTERPRETERS TO CAN PUT ON THERE.
WE PROVIDE INTERPRETERS TO PEOPLE.
SO THANK YOU FOR THAT FEEDBACK.
ALSO, THE STAFF NEEDS TO LEARN A SL MM-HMM
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO LEARN THE WHOLE LANGUAGE OBVIOUSLY, BUT LIKE COMMON PHRASES THAT YOU COULD DO JUST THE SAME WAY THAT YOU LEARN.
UM, YOU CAN DO, HELLO, HOW ARE YOU,
AND FOR EXAMPLE, LIKE THE CLASSES HERE, IF THEY OFFER CAPTIONS, LIKE HOW EXACTLY DO THEY WORK? DO YOU PROVIDE LIKE AN IPAD TO THE KIDS OR WHAT? NO, WE DON'T.
PART OF IT IS FROM, UH, IT DEPENDS ON IF WE'RE USING ANY TECHNOLOGY OR NOT.
SOME, THERE'S A LOT OF PROGRAMS THAT WE WON'T USE, UH, TECHNOLOGY FOR.
WE HAVE IN THE PAST TRIED TO REACH OUT, UH, WITH SOME INTERPRETERS.
UM, COST HAS BEEN, UH, RIGHT, YEAH.
THAT'S WHY CAPTIONS IS A GOOD PLACEMENT, YOU KNOW.
BUT MY QUESTION TO YOU IS, DO YOU PROVIDE CAPTIONS FOR DEAF KIDS OR LIKE, I MEAN, LIKE, THE WAY THAT THEY HAVE AN UNCLE WE COULD LOOK AT DOING THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE'RE, WE'VE DONE HISTORICALLY.
UM, JUST LIKE MAYBE ONE OR TWO LIKE LOANER, UM, DEVICES THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE FOR THE DEAF KIDS OR EVEN DEAF ADULTS WHO ARE GOING TO THE CLASSES OR WORKSHOPS BEING BROUGHT OUT IS WHAT IF THEY CAN'T READ.
SO YOU HAVE TO DO THE INTERPRETER.
BUT YEAH, YOU'LL HAVE TO, AND, UM, JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE TVS HAVE CAPTION, UM, ABILITIES.
ARE THEY ON THE TVS AT ALL TIMES? WHENEVER YOU HAVE TVS PLAYING HERE AT THE LIBRARY.
UM, WHICH YOU, I MEAN, DO YOU HAVE TVS HERE AT THE LIBRARY HAVE MONITORS THAT WE USE FOR PROGRAMS AND DIFFERENT MARKETING? YEAH.
THEY DON'T NECESSARILY PLAY SOUND.
UM, THEN DO YOU HAVE CAPTIONS UP? YOU HAVE CAPTIONS ON THE TVS WHEN THEY ARE PLAYING SOMETHING? UH, OUR TVS DON'T PLAY ANY SOUND THOUGH.
THEY'RE JUST, THEY SWIPE DIFFERENT SWAG.
BUT I MEAN, WE, LIKE YOU HAVE THEM ON EVEN WITH OR WITHOUT SOUND.
SOUND, RIGHT? LIKE, I DON'T THINK I'M UNDERSTANDING IT.
DO YOU HAVE CAPTIONS ON THE TV MONITOR? SO WE HAVE THE CAPABILITY AND ON LIKE PCS, DO THEY HAVE, UM, UH, A LIMIT LIKE, UM, ADMIN RESTRICTIONS? DO YOU HAVE, DO THEY HAVE ADMIN, UM, RESTRICTIONS FOR BEING ABLE TO PUT CAPTIONS ON COMPUTERS? IT WOULD BE SOMETHING TO WORK THROUGH OUR IT DEPARTMENT.
UM, SO THEN, YEAH, YOU HAVE TO GET THEM IN THERE TO UNLOCK THE, UM, SETTINGS SO THAT THEY, SO THAT THE USERS CAN USE IT ON THE PC IF THEY, BECAUSE IT'S, IF THEY HAVE THAT LOCK SITUATION ON, THEN THEY WON'T BE ABLE, THEN THE USERS WILL COME IN, THE PATRONS WILL COME INTO THE LIBRARY, WON'T BE ABLE TO ACCESS CAPTIONS ON THEIR OWN.
I THOUGHT YOU, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT A DIFFERENT PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY.
HE SWITCHED, WELL, HE SWITCHED WINDOWS 11 ON WINDOWS 11.
I SWITCHED FROM TV TO COMPUTER.
WINDOWS 11 IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT NOW.
WE, WE GOT THAT AND, AND OUR IT DEPARTMENT WOULD HELP US BE ABLE TO DO THAT FOR SURE.
AND THEN, YEAH, MAKE SURE THAT YOU SET IT UP FOR ALL THE COMPUTERS TOO, SO THAT WAY THAT THE LIBRARIANS AREN'T GETTING BOTHERED, YOU KNOW, WHEN SOMEBODY NEEDS IT.
IF SOMEBODY'S NOT HERE TO HELP THEM EITHER, YOU KNOW, THEN THAT, THAT WAY YOU CAN'T SCREW IT UP.
AND THE REASON I, THE REASON WHY I SAY THAT IS BECAUSE, UM, ON THE PHONE IT'S A SIMPLE THING.
I HAVE THIS PROGRAM HERE, UM, BUT ONE OF THE PROBLEMS IS THAT IT EATS UP BATTERY BY MY APPLICATION.
SO IN ORDER TO AVOID OR MINIMIZE EATING UP BATTERY, IT'D BE BETTER TO, YOU KNOW, PROVIDE IT TO THE PERSON FOR THE TIME THAT THEY NEED IT.
[00:50:05]
AND THEN, UM, ALSO I DO HAVE RESOURCES IF YOU WANT TO EXCHANGE CONTACT INFORMATION AND YOU CAN LIKE, FOLLOW UP WITH ME IF YOU NEED SUPPORT.UM, BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T, THEY'LL FOLLOW UP.
THEN THIS WHOLE THING'S KIND OF POINTLESS.
SO I WILL, UM, YES, LET'S EXCHANGE CONTACT INFORMATION AND THEN WE CAN GET THAT.
SO YOUR INTERPRETERS, UM, WHAT QUALIFIES THEM? DO THEY HAVE TO BE CERTIFIED? BECAUSE YOU, YOU MENTIONED COST, WHICH I TOTALLY RELATE, BUT IF YOU HAVE A BUILDING LIKE THIS WITH THE PASSION TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE, THEN COULD IT NOT BE A VOLUNTEER TO LEAD IT, WHICH WOULD BE A WIN-WIN FOR EVERYONE? SO WE'RE THINKING ALONG THE SAME LINE.
UM, THE CITY OF GARLAND HAS, UH, I'LL SAY NEWISH VOLUNTEER PROGRAM AND JUST STARTED, WE HAVE A VERY ACTIVE, UM, TEEN VOLUNTEER PROGRAM AT THE LIBRARY.
WE JUST STARTED EXPANDING IT INTO ADULT VOLUNTEERS.
SO THE, THE SHORT ANSWER IS YES, WE DO REQUIRE ADULT VOLUNTEERS TO GO THROUGH A BACKGROUND CHECK AND, UM, A FEW OTHER THINGS BECAUSE YOU'RE MAYBE INTERACTING WITH CHILDREN.
SO TO MAKE SURE THINGS ARE AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE.
BUT YES, I THINK THAT'S ABSOLUTELY SOMETHING THAT CRAZY VISITS.
I AM, I'M OPEN THE VOLUNTEER, THEY'RE GOING GET BIG, GETTING EMAILS AT THREE 30 IN MORNING, IN THE MORNING,
AND THEN, UM, ALSO A LOT OF COMMUNITY COLLEGES HAVE STUDENTS WHO ARE TRAINING TO BECOME INTERPRETERS IN ITBS INTERPRETER TRAINING PROGRAMS. OFTENTIMES, UH, THEY'RE WILLING TO SEND THEIR, UM, STUDENT INTERPRETERS OUT TO DO, UH, YOU KNOW, AND IT'S LIKE THEY'RE GONNA BE THEIR, UH, HIGHER LEVEL ALMOST GRADUATING, UM, STUDENTS WHO ARE WILLING TO COME OUT AND VOLUNTEER.
SO YOU COULD GET IN TOUCH WITH THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES, FOR EXAMPLE, THERE'S PLANO, UM, CO COLLEGE.
AND MAYBE RICHLAND I THINK MIGHT STILL BE DOING A PROGRAM.
THAT'S GREAT INFORMATION TO HAVE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THIS IS GREAT FEEDBACK.
'CAUSE THIS, THIS IS WHAT WE WANT.
LIBRARIES HAVE COME A LONG WAY.
SO I'M NOT KNOWING EVERYTHING, ALL THE THINGS.
I'M VERY, VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE DIRECTION THAT THE GARLAND FACILITIES ARE IMPLEMENTING AND GOING.
LIKE I'VE GOT NEIGHBORS THAT LOVE TO GET INVOLVED MORE WITH THE LIBRARY WITH THEIR KIDS.
WHERE THEY CAN JUST LOG ON AND SAY, YEAH, THIS IS SOMETHING WE, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES NOT A MATTER OF JUST COMMUNICATING, IT'S THEM SEEING YOU COMPLETE THE CELL OR, OR COMPLETEING YOUR POINT TO THEM.
WE HAVE SOME VIDEOS, UM, FROM OUR WEBSITE.
YOU CLICK ON UH, LITTLE BITS, UH, SOME OF THE NICHE ACADEMY VIDEOS.
WE'VE GOT ALL SORTS OF DIFFERENT RESOURCES AND CAN PROGRAMS, UH, TOO THAT WE'VE DONE SOME DIFFERENT STORY TIMES AND ADULT PROGRAMS ONLINE, BUT THERE'S SOME TUTORIALS AS WELL TO HELP LEARN HOW TO DO SOME OF THE DIFFERENT, UH, USE SOME OF THE DIFFERENT RESOURCES AND THINGS THAT WE HAVE IN THE LIBRARY FROM THAT.
WE HAVE A LOT OF RESIDENTS THAT MOVED IN OUTTA LOVE AND, UH, THEY'RE, THEY'RE NOT FROM GARDENING.
I WANT THEM TO KNOW THAT WE CARE ABOUT OUR KIDS AND EDUCATE THEM AND FIND THEM A SAFE ENVIRONMENT.
SO LET US KNOW WHERE THAT'S AT TOO.
IS UH, THAT'S PART OF THE WHOLE REASON THAT WE DO LIBRARY OUTREACH.
WE LIKE TO GO OUT AND ACTUALLY MAKE CONNECTIONS.
I WAS GONNA SAY Y'ALL HAVE AN HOA HAVE 'EM COME TO THE MEETING IN THE PRESENT MEETING.
I KNOW, THAT'S WHY I SAID THAT.
HAVE 'EM COME TO A MEETING AND OH NO, DO THE PRESENTATION AND YEAH, I WAS JUST THINKING THE SAME.
BUT WE CAN'T GET ANYBODY TO A HOA MEETING.
SO WE WOULD TO COME MARY, WE IN FOREST CENTER OF THE ONLY TIME THEY REALLY COME AT THE END OF THE YEAR BECAUSE THEY THINK I'M GONNA RAISE EVERYTHING.
YOU KNOW, ALL OF A SUDDEN EVERYBODY SHOWS UP.
[00:55:01]
OTHER QUESTIONS? I HAVE NO MORE QUESTIONS.THEY MIGHT NOT KNOW MY NAME, BUT THEY KNOW MY FACES.
I'M ALWAYS TALKING ON 'EM LIKE THAT.
I COME HERE MORE NOW THAT YOU REORIENTED THE PARKING LOT.
'CAUSE I HAVE MY MOTHER IN A WALKER AND MY KNEES HAVE GOTTEN BAD.
SO IF IT WAS STILL THE OLD BUILDING, I WOULDN'T BE HERE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE IT WAS JUST TOO MUCH.
CAN CAN YOU TALK TO YOUR VENDORS ABOUT WHAT THEIR PRODUCT, WHERE PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THEY'RE BUYING ON THE SODAS, WHEN YOU GO BACK OUT TO THE DRINK, YOU'LL SEE HOW MANY ARE BACKWARDS AND YOU CAN'T TELL WHAT YOU'RE BUYING.
THERE'S NO, NO LABEL, BUT YOU SEE YOUR NUTRITIONAL VALUES.
HE WAS HERE AND I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE IT.
I THOUGHT, MY GOD, YOU'RE STILL HERE.
BUT HE HAD MOVED FROM THE DRINKS TO THE SNACKS.
THERE WAS A TIME AT SEVEN 11 THAT THEY DID A WALK THROUGH AND, AND YOU HAD THAT YOU GOT FIRED.
BUT NOW THEY'RE DESPERATE FOR PEOPLE PUT 'EM UPSIDE DOWN.
THEY'RE STILL GONNA KEEP YOU GUYS ARE, UM, READY TO MOVE ON.
UM, ITEM THREE A, THE, UH, I'M SORRY, THREE B, THE ALL ABILITIES COMMITTEE BYLAWS.
WE'RE GONNA TABLE THAT UNTIL OUR MEETING, UM, UNTIL OUR CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR ARE HERE.
UM, WE THOUGHT THAT THAT WOULD BE BETTER.
UM, WE NEED A MOTION TO DO THAT OR JUST TABLE IT AND MOVE ON.
WE CAN JUST TABLE IT AND MOVE ON.
UM, AND THEN I, FOR THE FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS, UM, A QUICK SCHEDULING UPDATE.
OUR JULY MEETING, IT'S SCHEDULED FOR JULY 1ST AND WE HAD PLANNED TO HAVE DELETE AND HEATHER PRESENT ON BUDDY LEAGUE.
HOWEVER, I LEARNED THIS AFTERNOON THAT THERE IS A PARKS BOARD MEETING AT THE SAME NIGHT.
UM, SO THAT, THAT DOES PRESENT A CONFLICT.
UM, AS A RESULT OF THAT, UM, WE WOULD PROBABLY NEED TO POSTPONE THE BUDDY LEAGUE PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION TILL AUGUST BIT.
UM, WE'LL JUST TAKE OUR SCHEDULE AND KIND OF BUMP IT A MONTH.
SO, UM, LIKE MS. TIFFANY VINO WILL COME IN SEPTEMBER INSTEAD OF AUGUST.
UM, WE APPRECIATE THE, THE FLEXIBILITY.
LIKE I SAID, I, I WANT EVERYONE TO LEARN AS MUCH AS THEY CAN.
SO, UM, AND ANOTHER, ANOTHER, UM, ISSUE I WAS GOING TO BRING UP IS OUR CHAIR WILL NOT BE HERE FOR THE JULY MEETING EITHER.
SO I WANTED TO SEE IF YOU GUYS THAT WE TAKE JULY ON.
IS THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR? IS THERE A SECOND? WELL, WE ARE NOT GONNA MAKE THE, UH, FORM THAT WE DON'T, WE MIGHT NOT, WELL, WE CAN'T HAVE IT JULY 1ST HERE BECAUSE THERE'S A, THERE'S A, THERE'S A CONFLICT WITH WHO'S GONNA BE PRESENTING FOR YOUR JULY MEETING.
AND SO WE WOULD HAVE TO TRY TO SEE IF WE COULD MAKE ARRANGEMENTS WITH ANOTHER DEPARTMENT, WHICH KIND OF MISUNDERSTOOD TOO.
UM, BECAUSE THEY ARE, THEY ALSO HAVE A PARKS BOARD MEETING THAT SAME NIGHT.
UM, I CAN CHECK AND SEE IF I CAN GET SOMEONE ON, ON NOTICE, BUT NORMALLY I COULD A COUPLE OF MONTHS ADVANCE.
I HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS FOR FIREFIGHTERS, SO I'M GONNA PUT THEM ON THE SCHEDULE FOR SURE.
I DO HAVE THEM WRITTEN DOWN OUR CODE INSPECTORS.
HOW DO THEY, HOW DO THEY REPORT IT? YOU KNOW, SO MUCH, ESPECIALLY WITH THE NEW CODE.
I'LL SEE IF I CAN, UM, GET SOMEONE FROM CODE OR FIRE TO COME TO THE JULY MEETING.
I'VE GOT LIKE 900 REPORTS SAYING ME LADIES SAID YOU THE WANT TO KEEP ME WORKING SO HARD.
I SAID, I DON'T WANNA KEEP YOU EMPLOYED
SO ARE WE OPEN TO IDEAS ON THIS ONCE WE READ AND REVIEW IT? ARE THESE DEFINITE, THESE ARE NOT DEFINITE.
THEY WILL BE OPEN FOR DISCUSSION AT THE NEXT MEETING THAT WE HAVE.
WELL, AND NOT AT THE AUGUST MEETING.
AUGUST, BECAUSE OUR CHAIR WILL NOT BE HERE FOR JULY, BUT I WENT AHEAD AND PROVIDED 'EM IN THE PACKET SINCE YES MA'AM.
THAT WAY YOU GUYS COULD LOOK AT THEM.
I'LL ALSO EMAIL THIS INFORMATION OUT, UM, ESPECIALLY FOR THE, FOR THE, UM, CINDY THAT WEREN'T ABLE TO COME TONIGHT.
SO I'LL ALSO SHARE KAREN'S INFORMATION WITH YOU ALL.
UM, AND THEN JUST PLEASE REACH OUT.
DO YOU EVER NEED ANYTHING? I'M HAPPY TO,
[01:00:01]
HAPPY TO FIND IT IF I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER.SO HOW WILL THEY BE REPLACED WITH NEW COUNSEL? UM, THE COUNCIL WILL BE REAPPOINTED COUNSEL IN AUGUST.
IT'S THE SECOND MEETING IN AUGUST.
SO, SO THEY GET A APPOINT PRIOR TO THAT.
BUT TYPICALLY APPOINTMENTS ARE MADE IN AUGUST.
SO IT'S UP TO THE CITY COUNCIL.
WOULD IT BE APPROPRIATE FOR ME TO REACH OUT MY NEW COUNCIL MEMBER? ABSOLUTELY.
AND THEY HAVE TO COME FROM A SPECIFIC DISTRICT, RIGHT? THEY DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO COME FROM A SPECIFIC DISTRICT.
UM, YOU CAN APPOINT IF YOU'RE IN DISTRICT THREE AND THERE'S AN OPEN SPOT IN DISTRICT FIVE, AS LONG AS YOUR COUNCIL MEMBER AND THAT COUNCIL MEMBER.
YOU JUST HAVE TO RESIDE IN THE CITY.
YOU DO NOT NECESSARILY HAVE TO LIVE IN A DISTRICT THAT YOU'RE, THAT YOU'RE REPRESENTING.
SO, AND YOU CAN LIVE AT ANY DISTRICT.
DOES IT MATTER? YES, BUT SO IS IT EACH COUNCILMAN THAT'S ONE APPOINTEE? YES.
SO YOU DON'T NEED TO BE IN DISTRICT THREE, BUT THE COUNCILMAN OR WOMAN FROM DISTRICT THREE WILL MAKE THE APPOINTMENT.
IF IT'S TO WHERE, LIKE THERE'S NO APPLICATION THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED FOR YOUR DISTRICT.
BUT THERE'S BEEN SIX SUBMITTED FOR HER DISTRICT, THEN THAT COUNCIL MEMBER CAN GO THROUGH THAT LIST AND, AND CHOOSE SOMEONE BECAUSE WE ALL, WE WANT PEOPLE TO SERVE.
I HOPE THEY FIND SOMEBODY, UM,
UM, HONESTLY, UM, I'M NOT SURE.
DO A VISUALLY IMPAIRED PERSON YES.
WOULD NEED TO LIKE I WOULD I WOULD LOVE IT.
AND THEN WORSE, REMEMBER THIS.
THEN IF WE'RE NO MORE QUESTION, THEN I MOVE TO ADJOURN AT 7 0 5.
DO WE HAVE A MOTION MOVE TO ADJOURN? YES.
I'LL BE IN TOUCH ABOUT, I'LL BE IN TOUCH ABOUT, LET ME MAKE A COUPLE OF CALLS AND I WANNA KNOW WHAT THE SIGN TO SCREW UP.
I KNOW THEY HAVE, ARE YOU SERIOUS THAT SCREW UP SOMEBODY DO THIS WHERE MINE NOT THEY TO SHOOT ME
WHAT, WHAT SIDE DID YOU JUST LEARN THE SCREW UP? BECAUSE I NOTICED YOU SAID SCREW UP AND START A GIG.
