Award For Excellence
SUBJECT: Presented to County Library
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Present the 1997 departmental Award For Excellence to the County Library, Anne
Marie Gold, County Librarian.
BACKGROUND
The Board of Supervisors, in 1985, established a program for recognizing
outstanding performance by County departments. In December 1985 and each year
thereafter, the Board has recognized a department with the Award For Excellence.
In a year of significant concern regarding the future existence of the County
Library, library staff continued to deliver an excellent level of service.
Branch libraries enriched their communities through participation in the Common
Ground project of discussions on critical issues; National Poetry Month;
providing school library services to Lafayette students; California Parks and
Recreation Society Award winning exhibit; the After School Enrichment Program and
Internet Training classes.
Individual staff members were recognized for leadership and professionalism by
the American Library Association as "Emerging Leaders," by the San Ramon
Soroptomists as "Woman of Distinction," and by the County Librarian's election
as President of the California Library Association.
By its commitment to outstanding volunteer programs, expanded use of information
technology, city and community activities designed to expand and enhance
services, and commitment to affirmative action, the Department has exhibited
leadership, public service, resourcefulness, innovation and effectiveness
throughout the year.
In so doing, the men and women of the County Library have demonstrated a
commitment to excellence, to professionalism, and to the Contra Costa County
Statement of Values.
