- While libraries are committed to serving youth, budgets for youth services are not always adequate and librarians are stretched thin in coordinating
This document provides an overview of the challenges facing urban public libraries, using the Free Library of Philadelphia as a case study. It finds that while Philadelphians' use of libraries has grown in recent years, it remains below average compared to other major cities. The Free Library has struggled with an extraordinary number of unplanned branch closures due to understaffing. It has also been slower than some other cities to adapt services to changing community needs. Efforts to address these challenges are complicated by the Free Library's complex governance structure between the city and independent boards.

This document discusses how traditional library models are designed for middle-class patrons and do not adequately serve poor communities. It proposes changing library models and operations to better serve poor populations by easing barriers they face, such as late fees, location restrictions, and residency requirements. Examples given of new models include "front porch libraries" located in homes in poor neighborhoods and library gardens created by convicts doing community service that transform libraries into community green spaces. The goal is to make libraries more accessible and welcoming to poor patrons by removing assumptions of car ownership and addressing environmental challenges they face.

This document discusses the importance of public libraries in Ontario. It notes that public libraries receive 200 million visits annually and provide over 250,000 local programs. Public libraries serve as community hubs that provide critical services like job training resources, small business support, broadband internet access, and children's programs. However, provincial funding for libraries has remained stagnant for 20 years, threatening the sustainability of libraries, especially in small and rural communities. The document calls on the government to increase annual provincial funding for public libraries by $17 million to ensure continued access to important library services across Ontario.
The Federation of Ontario Public Libraries (FOPL) recently released new data and research reports on Ontario public libraries:
[1] A report analyzing key Ontario public library statistics from 2001-2013 such as circulation, program attendance, expenditures, and digital materials holdings.
[2] A public opinion poll of Ontarians conducted in 2015 examining library usage patterns, perceptions of value, and interest in new services. Most opinions of libraries remain positive but some traditional services are declining among younger groups.
[3] A study of library branding in Ontario finding most libraries have websites but fewer use social media actively. Adoption of new technologies varies significantly among library systems.
The document provides guidance on creating successful adult programs at public libraries. It discusses establishing goals for events that meet community needs, developing outcome measures to ensure events fit the community, and sharing successes. The agenda includes creating event goals, outcome measures, and discussing what types of events work best based on scanning the community and engaging residents. The document stresses measuring the value of events through outcomes and outputs like surveys. It provides examples of outcomes that show library programs' impacts on quality of life, personal goals, and economic well-being.

This document discusses services for multicultural clients at public libraries. It finds:
1. Library staff agree that poor English skills and computer literacy are barriers for multicultural clients. Employing multilingual staff and providing English classes could help address this.
2. The majority of staff feel that incorporating community activities at the library would increase use by multicultural clients.
3. Responses from library staff provided limited insight into meeting the information needs of multicultural clients. Developing a community profile was seen as mixed in providing services.
The document discusses the Newbury Town Library and its role as both a library and community center. It provides essential services like educational programs for all ages, technology resources, and meeting spaces. It circulates a wide variety of materials, including books, DVDs, CDs, and downloads large numbers of digital materials each year. The library sees significant annual visits and hosts many well-attended programs. It relies mainly on municipal funding but also receives state aid and support from friends groups and donors. Usage of the library has grown substantially in recent years along with its town appropriation. The library aims to increase hours and materials funding through endowments and fundraising.

"Get the Most for Your Money" Presentation NYLA 2013Monica Kuryla
This document provides suggestions for libraries to offer cost-effective programming and reference services with little to no budget. It recommends utilizing volunteers, partnering with local organizations, and reallocating materials budgets. Specific free programming ideas include games, crafts, career workshops, and musical performances. Ways to enhance reference on a budget include creating a virtual research room of free online resources and offering virtual instruction. Promoting these services on social media is also suggested.
The strategic plan outlines the Richmond Public Library's goals for 2014-2018, including becoming more digital and innovative while maintaining core services. It identifies 8 strategic roles for the library, such as the Refocused Traditional Library, Learning Hub Library, and Gathering Place Library. The plan also details implementation strategies like developing partnerships, improving operations, and testing new services through proof-of-concept projects like the Launchpad and Create & Learn station.

In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

Port may public library
1. Port May Public Library
New Programs for Adults
2011
Kimberlee C. DeWall
LSC 521 Public Library Services
University of Rhode Island
Graduate School of Library & Information Studies
December 5, 2010
Port May Public Library is fictitious. The statistics used in developing the following program plan are based
upon data collected for a Community Inventory done for Falmouth, Massachusetts.
2. Outline of Presentation
• Introduction
• Programs for Adults
• Programs for those 18 to 29
• Programs for those 30 to 45
• Programs for those 45 to 60
• Programs for S e rs
nio
• Programs for Unique Populations
3. Introduction
The ultimate aim of Port May Public Library
adult programming is to uphold the Library’s
mission in providing services that promote and
support independent learning and
enlightenment, literacy, and cultural enrichment
for all members of the Port May community,
regardless of background and physical ability.
Through research, inventories, and data
collection, the PMPL strives to develop
programs that are relevant to the needs and
interests of the community-at-large. Aside from
the highly successful and established adult
programs that remain on-going, the Library is
also dedicated to developing innovative library
services.
4. This year’s inspiration for programming is based
upon John Perry Barlow’s concept of information:
information is an activity, a life form, and a relationship.*
New programming for 2011 will exhibit that, like
information:
THE LIBRARY is an ACTIVITY, a LIFE FORM,
and a RELATIONSHIP
By promoting relationships with, and amongst, the
community, and by offering the Library as the center of
community activity; the Library strives to illustrate that
libraries are not only vital, but alive, and that they are the
ultimate agency and conduit for sharing information and
knowledge.
*http://wired.com/wired/archive/2.03/economy.ideas_pr.html
5. While the Library seeks to improve,
expand, and update all adult programs
and services annually, a special focus is
often given to specific populations. Over
the course of the past two years, the
PMPL sought to appeal to the young adult
population by completely redesigning the
YA Room, as well as updating YA
Services.
It was a success!
6. Hoping to achieve a similar result, PMPL will begin
to shift the focus upon engaging and serving adults
between the ages of 18-45. While a seemingly large
task, statistics reveal that these combined groups are
currently a vulnerable demographic on Cape Cod:
• substance abuse between the ages of 21-45 is highest*
• career opportunities are low / unemployment rates are high
• cost of housing is high / housing options are limited
• cost of living prevents many from partaking in constructive social
interaction
Thus, PMPL introduces a solution…

7. Café Stacks
Based upon the popularity of the coffee house and
the café, PMPL will introduce Café Stacks as a venue for
many of the library’s new programs. Although intended
for adults of all ages, it is the express hope of PMPL that
Café Stacks will exemplify the targeted population’s
inclination to congregate, or “network,” in relaxed
atmospheres.
A moveable café, Café Stacks may be easily set up
and taken down in the Kilduff Meeting Room, which
allows for a capacity of 195. Tables, chairs, and stools
will transform the meeting space into a more
unstructured layout. Pi Bakery will sell baked goods at
various events, as well.
Moreover, the technical capabilities of the Kilduff
Meeting Room are current due to the Library’s complete
renovation in 2008 and will, therefore, allow for
audio/visual and internet access needs.
8. Estimated Annual Budget for Café
Stacks
• Table Cloths from Christmas Tree Shop
10 @ $5.99 $ 59.99
• Light Sticks for Tables from Ikea (LED, Battery

Data from the 2000 U.S. Census & 2006-08 U.S. Census Community Survey
• With a total population of 32,749 (that
triples in the summer); 27,174 of the
population are over the age of 18.
• While primarily a middle class community,
19% of households receive some form of
public assistance.
• 95.1% of the population graduated from
High School.
11. National Library Week@PMPL

16. The 18-29 demographic not only reflects the lowest
percentage of the Port May adult population, but the
group also poses two challenges that the PMPL attempts
to address:
1. Developing programs that are appealing enough to
draw this age group into the library and sustaining the
relationship by offering engaging programs.

to the local community college, PMPL will work with the
College in promoting events & services. PMPL will also

21. The 30-45 year old demographic is another segment of the
community that is difficult to engage. Ironically, this age group
represents a segment of the population that is an integral part of the
community: parents. The PMPL supports community efforts in
helping build strong and healthy families.
• 16.1% of Port May students qualify for free or reduced lunch,
traditional aid or food stamps, which indicates that local families
would benefit from free library services, especially parents since
their children are provided services through the school system.
