Editor's Notes
- Who runs the Heights Library? A 7-member Board of Trustees appointed by the CH-UH City School Board. All of our Board members are residents of the CH-UH school district. (A majority of trustees have to live in school district, but a minority may reside outside the school district – ORC 3375.15 School district free public library - appointment of trustees.). CH_UH Library is an independent governmental entity The library’s service area is the same as the schools – includes part S. Euclid, all of University Heights, Cleveland Heights.
- PLF is public library fund 1.6 % of GRF in 2014
- What is PLF? Public Library Fund, changed from LLGSF (Local Govt funding) in 2000 separated from cities. Also pays for Ohio Public Library Info Network (50 bps) and Library for the Blind.
- In 2006 we employed 105 FTEs today we employ 96 FTEs—doing more with less! 10% less staff Actual spending reflected in this chart, with 2014 anticipated. Extra revenue is put toward buildings and technology.
- Past levies 4 mill current effective rate is 2.54 2000 1.9 mill current effective rate is 1.48 2008 1.9 mill current effective rate is 1.90
- CH_UH =whole school district including 5 streets in south euclid Current effective rate is 5.92, total millage is 7.8 119.218
- Equity & Prosperity: Open to All, meet our community where they are. 140 employees in the two cities are tax payers! We are a big employer. When Lee Road library moved –big effect on Lee Road businesses. Recently: HKIC and partnership with SBDC provides free resources to freelancers, entrepreneurs, small businesses, job seekers (computers, media lab, databases) Community Dev: Employ teens as pages; offer volunteer opportunities for all; most people deciding where to move view a good library system as a contributor factor; provide resources for recent immigrants (Noble Nepalese); provide meeting space for nonprofits and other groups; a community gathering place Education and Literacy: Free access to books for all; opportunities for literacy-based play for children at every branch with story times, literacy-based toys and games, and our summer reading programs for all ages and learning opportunities (computer classes, other programs) for all ages Democary/Government: We are a polling place, a source for unbiased information, a space that welcomes all opinions and provide all people with equal access to information (books, databases, newspapers, high-speed Internet), thereby serving as a great equalizer
- 44 other libraries in 12 counties Share collections of over 10 million items and catalog including databases and larger e-book collection than Los Angeles or NYPL! CCpl holdings are only 3.2 million One of largest eBook library collections in the country More than CCPL – they have “more than 72,000 items” per website 2/5/13 more than NYPL (based on catalog title search 2/5/13 CLEVNET = over 64,000 titles ebk & eaudio – more if inc movie, musi – over 68,000); NYPL = 53,063 ebk & eaudio titles – no data for movies & music) CLEVNET gives regional benefits that no individual library system can match: A 2009 Return on Investment study showed a collective cost savings of more than $30 million, which resulted from libraries being able to share cataloging services, administration, computer equipment and professional support, as well as to consolidate circulation. (http://www.clevnet.org/pdf/CLEVNET_ROI_Report_May09.pdf) Such savings translated into an average $6 return for every dollar invested by CLEVNET libraries. In a given year, the cumulative value of accessed research and items borrowed or downloaded in the CLEVNET system nears $27 million.
