Namenda Sufi, the city librarian, summarized the status of California Library Services Act (CLSA) funding and related advocacy. Sufi said CLSA funding was reduced by roughly 50% in the prior budget cycle to $1,880,000 and that the California Library Association (CLA) is seeking restoration and an augmentation request that, if approved, would increase total CLSA funding to about $5,000,000. Sufi said those discussions were ongoing and that the outcome remained uncertain.

Sufi also reported on a March 14 executive order affecting the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS); she said the order directed certain agencies to reduce non-statutory functions and that libraries are awaiting clarity on what that may mean for federal grant programs. Sufi said the Roseville libraries currently have no active IMLS-funded programs but have applied, in partnership with Friends of the Library, for a $75,000 grant to enhance programs for children ages 0–5.

On collections, Sufi said a recurring five-year request for proposals (RFP) for library materials closed in February; the recommended contract will go to the City Council for approval on May 7 and new contracts would start on July 1, she said. She also told the board that two full-time library assistant positions have accepted offers and are completing fingerprinting and background checks.

Sufi said the Downtown Library will extend Sunday hours to 12–8 p.m. and keep later evening hours during July and August; seasonal hires will provide coverage for the expanded summer schedule. She outlined several Friends of the Library events planned for spring and a museum exhibition at the Maidu Museum opening this spring and running through Sept. 14.

Board members asked about advocacy steps for state and federal funding; Sufi said she would share links and resources from the California Library Association and other associations that board members could use to contact representatives about library funding.","City librarian Namenda Sufi briefed the board on proposed state funding restorations for the California Library Services Act, potential federal changes affecting IMLS, a $75,000 grant application for early-childhood programming, staffing hires and summer-hours plans.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_46":92,"_48":93,"_50":94,"_52":95,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":96,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":97,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6625401,"Roseville libraries report heavy self-checkout use, roll out smartphone checkout app",498,1033000,1531000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2757797-36cd7ac31f646810572e51a3eebfff5f&start=1033&end=1531","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2757797-36cd7ac31f646810572e51a3eebfff5f/thumbnail_1033000.jpg","/articles/6625401/Roseville/Placer-County/California/Roseville-libraries-report-heavy-self-checkout-use-roll-out-smartphone-checkout-app","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6625401-efc063a3968b3bd79a600c8fdcfe6731/orig.mp4?Expires=1771140149&Signature=HW4kguHZoxYHaJJNl8QpYVdGD8CcfdmYP1Br4p4Lhh9Ga-tIrq2Nd09FWa0iO8RnD66-5dyLHfTx4d6ckLhEJHzIq3rROaRWHYDJIEG4WSSEiyvY3EN-4sjObPGxnymOsvi8yOwj5MimNygkHpMC~W32BQVu8Pm6ZXOIPOg7s4YiFfZnAsfZbv9Zt-pncSy1CajV1AxjO4Hy4NmfCZX6QvqXD02xqPLYUwhO7uCqq6bqc5ZA8DC9mpHV-awRcVQ5hBdutwJigZM5vZL00kJSjALID~ftdf3ASGElre~y5lDPkanEPbWgQA2IqS~VjHRTQPjZS3HceyuGUEf1Zorezg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Library technology staff told the Roseville Public Library Board on March 24 that customers are using self-service technology for the majority of physical checkouts and that the library is rolling out a smartphone checkout app this month.

\"In the six-month period from July to December 2024, almost 300,000 physical items were checked out from the libraries. Eighty-eight percent of those were checked out on the self check,\" Rachel Frouse, a library technology supervisor, said at the meeting. Frouse said the automated check-in and sorting systems speed processing and free staff to help patrons with research, programming and other services.

Frouse described self-check kiosks at each branch, an automated return conveyor and sorting system, public computers that guarantee two hours of daily use per patron (extendable), and remote printing that lets users send print jobs from home. She said the new Roseville Public Library app, introduced this month, lets patrons scan an item’s barcode with a smartphone to check it out; the app integrates with the library’s security gates so patrons do not trigger an alarm on exit.

Alex Guillen, a librarian working with the catalog interface, described the library’s migration in June 2023 to Aspen Discovery for the public catalog and the companion Aspen Lita app, which lets patrons manage accounts, place holds and borrow digital formats. Staff also noted access to online services such as Libby, Cloud Library, Hoopla and Kanopy; Hoopla and Kanopy provide cross-device access for audio and video materials.

Board members asked about a discrepancy between total checkouts and automated check-ins; Frouse said the difference is expected because staff still check out some items at service desks and renewals also affect monthly tallies. Several board members praised the library’s role as a free community resource for media, internet access and printing assistance.

Library staff said the app and catalog features are intended to increase convenience and to allow staff to prioritize in-person assistance.","Library staff told the board that self-checkout handled 88% of physical checkouts from July–December 2024 and described a new Roseville Public Library smartphone app that integrates with security gates for contactless checkout.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_46":104,"_48":105,"_50":106,"_52":107,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":108,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":109,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6625405,"Roseville Public Library unveils four limited-edition library card designs",576,448000,1024000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2757797-36cd7ac31f646810572e51a3eebfff5f&start=448&end=1024","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2757797-36cd7ac31f646810572e51a3eebfff5f/thumbnail_448000.jpg","/articles/6625405/Roseville/Placer-County/California/Roseville-Public-Library-unveils-four-limited-edition-library-card-designs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6625405-9e3ec9f157c348755ed5018036e6a359/orig.mp4?Expires=1771140149&Signature=aSwUJsONZeVMhMTkfDm2fQodr-pM7ijraWatD5nUJkebyt0bLvrMa4-d6vKzALLk9ySI49aFwlxmNKrjtNwxblJcgj2DlCvwmkPj8ocouhjBNDBjW6uEZd7vMsk1K-4T2TvqNFgcN0e-ApOuyC5KkS--JCd3NFCQ0zmSpQRIq94D0QZzqGfAt-shqDsNskkD4ytCH1WGetyklLrNJD6PAs4hHEryzs~0nQZ2sZaillS3Fdszmk7YDlejPsrJdnFHqb5lKgbPljmpNZ-vPhFRlplNUJM~t3uPCmbSKD4xeqO042qo8vvlG4dMbVJrfhPYJE~Vwc5yMAa8S0JvY3FoAw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Roseville Public Library will offer four limited-edition library card designs starting March 25, 2025, library staff told the Library Board at its March 24 meeting.

Library programming supervisor Cambria Evans introduced the contest and Nathan Garcia, the library’s youth and teen programming librarian, presented the four winners and the contest process. \"This was initiative started by my predecessor, Anna,\" Garcia said, describing how staff organized submissions into four design groups and opened finalists to public voting on the library website.

Staff said the contest was intended to increase community engagement and to support local artists while producing a limited-edition card the public could choose. The four winning designs will be available at the Downtown, Maidu and Martha Riley branches while supplies last. New patrons can pick one of the designs for free; existing patrons who want a limited-edition card will be charged the standard $2 replacement-card fee.

Garcia described the selection process: staff narrowed entries by artistic group, posted finalists to the library website, and allowed public voting to determine winners from each group. Library staff said there will also be a poster display of qualifying submissions and winners at the Downtown Library through National Library Week; the display dates were described by staff as running through April 12.

The board congratulated the winners at the meeting and board members were invited to pick a free limited-edition card at any branch. The announced winners were Amy Vanderboone (Group 4, \"Little Books Big Dreams\"), Aliyah Ruiz (Group 3, \"Best Library Ever\"), Corinna Katterkamp (Group 2, \"Fingerprint Freight Train\") and Jessica Reed (Group 1, \"Roses Are Red\").","Library staff announced four winning designs for a limited-edition library card contest and said the cards will be available while supplies last beginning March 25, 2025.","actionData","errors"]
