ANCHORAGE PUBLIC LIBRARY Anchorage: Performance. Value. Results.
Mission
Anchorage Public Library provides resources to enrich the lives and empower the future of our diverse community, while preserving the past for generations to come.
Core Services
o Education: Self-directed and classes o Information: Materials, research and instruction o Technology: Computing access and services
Measurement Goals: Increased Use of Library Services and Programs
1. TECHNOLOGY: COMPUTING ACCESS AND SERVICES In order for us to reach our goals in 2014, we must improve broadband, increase the number of devices and provide a more open and user driven computing environment for our public. While metrics provide a snapshot of achievement, behind them lays the reasons for future success or failure.
SUCCESSES, Qtr 2
Both our Broadband and WIFI have improved and are being monitored to ensure that we can add more broadband as needed. Usage is up 15%.
The newest version of Microsoft Office suite has been loaded on all public machines. Youth now have access to Google Docs for school reports and we are now compatible with other software the public has wanted to use.
Planning for the testing a thin client environment in one branch, which could open more access to the public.
An upgrade of wiring, computer outlets, furniture and physical improvement in the Innovation Lab will allow us to teach/host a variety of computer classes for the public, once we receive new computers from a state grant.
FAILURES, Qtr 2
Our goal this year has been to double the devices for the public but there is no capacity for IT to test devices for public use. These devices would augment desktop use, primarily for people wanting to use Internet. Devices also include e-readers for education, and to show the public how to download our ebook collections.
We currently are not able to get counts of our WIFI usage.
2. INCREASE LIBRARY USE BY YOUTH The Library plays an educational role by providing classes to parents and children, with an emphasis on early learning for children. As a partner in United Way’s “90% by 2020” community initiative, our goals include increased library use by children and parents through program attendance and circulation of more materials.
SUCCESSES, Qtr 2
We partnered with Cook Inlet Tribal Council to write a national grant targeting parents and preschoolers to improve early literacy skills. We will learn if the partnership will be awarded the grant in October, 2014.
2015 Approved General Government Operating Budget
LIB - 10
FAILURES, Qtr 2
Work with ASD on a project to transfer data for a first grade library card drive for Fall, 2014 was postponed into Fall of 2015.
We have a shortage of YS Librarians which has impacted our forecast for youth services, which can be seen in youth programming and cards.
3. TRANSFORM THE LIBRARY INTO A DYNAMIC COMMUNITY CENTER FOR
LEARNING AND DISCOVERY Improve civic engagement, cultural enrichment, economic advancement, and enhance the quality of life for all Anchorage residents through provision of life-long educational services including library materials, online resources, and programs/events
SUCCESSES, Qtr 2
Through the efforts of staff and a VISTA volunteers, we continue to develop new community partners especially in the area of adult programs and services. Adult programs increased a whopping 47% over last year’s 2nd quarter.
Usage of downloadable resources are increasing and circulation remains stable. FAILURES, Qtr 2
Youth programming numbers are down to staff shortages.
Performance Measures 1. Increase Circulation and Circulation per capita by 2% 2. Increase Visits and Visits per capita by 5% 3. Increase Youth library cards by 2% 4. Increase Program Attendance and Programs by Age Group by 5% 5. Increase Computer Logins and Logins per capita by 5%
Deviations of trends: 1. These closures negatively impacted the rate of usage and circulation of materials
2010—Mountain View Neighborhood Library reopened Q4
2010—Samson Dimond Neighborhood Library closed December
2. Youth Library Cards: It is now easier for children to get a library card without a parent’s
signature.
3. In late 2012, we started to capture visits through all entrances.
4. In 2014, we started counting all database use, versus selected databases.

PVR Measure WC: Managing Workers' Compensation Claims
No data for second quarter of 2013, changing to a new record keeping system
Reducing job-related injuries is a priority for the Administration by ensuring safe work conditions and safe practices. By instilling safe work practices we ensure not only the safety of our employees but reduce the potential for injuries and property damage to the public. The Municipality is self-insured and every injury poses a financial burden on the public and the injured worker's family. It just makes good sense to WORK SAFE.
Results are tracked by monitoring monthly reports issued by the Risk Management Division.
