WORK STUDY SESSION
WS.A. LIBRARY INITIATIVE - Presentation by Library Director Rob Richard
(Continued from October 15, 2001 Council Meeting); highlights of this
presentation are as follows:
• Library funding per capita in Santa Ana ranks in the bottom 25% of
all public libraries in California
•
Ongoing low level of Library Department funding has resulted in a
net shortfall of 340,000 books, 110,000 square feet of facilities, and
3,000 hours of annual service that would otheNvise be provided to a
community with average library funding
•
There are no facilities to serve residents in the southern portions of
the City
•
Maintaining the current status quo will result in an additional budget
reduction of 11 % in constant dollars, and a reduction in staff
•
Alternatives include having the County provide library services at
an annual cost of at least $6 million, reducing other City services,
or, asking the electorate to approve a Library initiative
•
There have been more than 90 library referenda in California since
1978
•
The overall success rate for these campaigns (requiring 2/3 vote) is
about 45%
It is important to ballot success that the community has a tendency
T0
in general to support public services, particularly schools
The voter success rate in communities that supported school
measures was 58% compared to a rate of 20% in communities that
did not support school measures
The Santa Ana Library has 107,000 resident library card holders.
50% are eighteen years or older
•
The most successful campaigns utilize polling, targeting,
telephoning, door-to-door canvassing, and get -out -the -vote
techniques
Voter approval of additional library funding could triple the number
of new books added to the library collection each year, and
increase public service hours by 3,200 annually
