2016 Goals
by Jon Walker
Pueblo City-County Library
District aims to provide the
best possible public library
service for our community.
Outcomes in recent years
indicate that we are delivering
on this promise.
We checked out more books
and other library materials than ever last year.
We also set new all-time records for the number
of people visiting our libraries, those attending
PCCLD educational and cultural programs and
events, and the use of library district digital
resources like public-use computers.PCCLD has
adopted an important set of goals for this year to
help build on our recent success.
Our new initiatives in 2016 should place us in a
strong position to continue our positive influence
in the community. I invite you to review the library
district’s complete 2016 plan and budget, which is
available online.
Here are some highlights of special projects you
can expect to see during the course of the year
from your public library:
Continue the work to convert the earliest editions
of The Pueblo Chieftain to digital format. Our
local newspaper began publication in 1868 and
these initial editions are an important record of
the history of our community and this region.
Expand support for parents of young children
to better ensure early literacy success. PCCLD
has been working on this initiative for over a year.
We call it SPELL, short for Supporting Parents in
Early Literacy through Libraries. It is based on
programs and research of promising practices
for libraries to deliver effective early literacy
information and resources to low-income families
with young children.
Partner with the school districts, arts center,
university and other local institutions to increase
the public library’s impact in the community.
One specific example of this in 2016 is the new
ConnectED partnership with Pueblo City Schools
and Pueblo County Schools, which should result
in a library card for nearly every public school
student. PCCLD also will partner with the arts
center on an upcoming Ansel Adams exhibit this
summer and CSU-Pueblo to increase access to
public library resources on campus.
Create a Maker Space program at the Lucero
Library. Maker Spaces are learning environments
where children, teens, adults, and families can
design and create together in activities from
woodworking to electronics. We are building on
the success of our first Maker Space at the Rawlings
Library by investing in this at the Lucero Library
to support this great way to learn.
Consider best e-book platforms. PCCLD is
providing a growing collection of e-books as
interest in this format increases. In 2016, the
library district will examine its e-book service to
insure we are offering the best possible platform
for our users.
Redesign the library district’s online presence
for subscription databases. PCCLD provides a
robust collection of online research databases. We
intend to evaluate this and institute changes to
improve visibility and usability.
Refresh the InfoZone Museum’s exhibit space.
With generous support from the Rawlings Family
Foundation, PCCLD is working with an exhibit
design firm to update features of the museum’s
interactive education displays.
Secure a 20 percent off-the-shelf rate for the
collections of books and materials. PCCLD
adheres to a philosophy of maintaining a dynamic,
up-to-date collection of materials that meets the
current needs of the members of our community.
We carefully track use of the books and materials
in the collections in order to ensure that we have
the items people seek to read and use.
I believe you will agree that 2016 should be another
terrific year for PCCLD!

Smart Land Use in Historic Downtowns: Mapping the Dollars and Sense of Land Use Patterns
Tuesday, March 1, 10:30 a.m., RA, InfoZone-4th floor
Free and open to the public. Challenge assumptions about land use and development. With
tools like basic arithmetic, maps, and 3D visualization using ArcScene and CityEngine, Joe
Minicozzi—founding member of the Asheville Design Center, a non-profit community design
center dedicated to creating livable communities across all of Western North Carolina—
discusses suburban sprawl and the value of mixed-use urban
development. For more information call The Greater Pueblo
Chamber of Commerce at 542-1704.
