The <br />Library Board acts in an advisory capacity to the City Council in policy matters related to Library and <br />literacy services provided in Redwood City Public Library's four Library facilities. The Library Board helps <br />create, approve, and review the Library's Service Priorities, a document that serves as the Library <br />Department's strategic plan for new and ongoing initiatives, programs, and services. The Library Board <br />also gathers community feedback and shares it with the Library Director; seeks collaborative opportunities <br />to cultivate partners, raise funds, and recruit volunteers; and provides input regarding the Library budget <br />and capital improvement program requests. <br />This past year, the City Council requested that each City Board, Committee, and Commission (BCC) prepare <br />a two year work plan, beginning with FY 2018-2019, for City Council review and approval. The purpose of <br />the work plan is to align BCC work with the City Council's Strategic Initiatives. Work plans are to be <br />prepared by the BCC members and presented to the City Council by the BCC Chair and Vice Chair. <br />The Library Board appointed a subcommittee to develop an initial draft of the work plan, and the full <br />board approved the plan at a regular meeting on May 28, 2019. <br />City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.ore <br />568 <br />
