The Los Alamos County Library Board convened on September 8, 2025, to discuss various updates and initiatives aimed at enhancing community services. The meeting highlighted significant staffing developments and the implementation of new systems to improve operations.

One of the key topics addressed was the recruitment and retention of staff within the parks and recreation department. A new certified park and recreation professional has joined the team, emphasizing the department's commitment to innovative staffing solutions. This year, the recreation division successfully filled five positions, showcasing the effectiveness of their lifeguard trainee program, which has seen five out of nine current full-time lifeguards begin their careers as trainees.

The board also noted the successful hosting of eight high school summer interns across recreation, parks, and the library, reflecting a commitment to engaging youth in community services. In a strategic move to attract long-term career-focused candidates, the library consolidated several part-time roles into two full-time positions.

Additionally, the meeting covered the active implementation of Cartograph, a new asset management system for the parks division. This system aims to streamline operations and enhance the management of park resources.

Overall, the meeting underscored the county's ongoing efforts to strengthen its workforce and improve service delivery through innovative practices and technology. Further updates and progress on these initiatives are expected in future meetings.
