Opportunity Expo 2026 Recap February 26, 2026 Emily Lowell, Library ManagerATTACHMENT 1 14

Opportunities Expo at LPL • This year marks the fourth Opportunities Expo hosted by Livermore Public Library. • Began in 2023 • Created to provide local job seekers with employment resources • Resume review • Professional business portraits • Meeting local employers that are hiringATTACHMENT 1 15

A Job Fair at a Library? Livermore Public Library will promote literacy in all its forms to help people fulfill their life goals and be more active and engaged community members.ATTACHMENT 1 16

Participating Employers • City of Livermore • Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District • Livermore Area Recreation and Park District • 99 Ranch Market • AT&T Services, Inc. • Timberland • Senior Helpers • Panda ExpressATTACHMENT 1 17

Community PartnershipsATTACHMENT 1 18

Community Partnerships • Ron Essex Photography provided 48 business portraits to attendees. • This involved a professional photo shoot, and their selection of a high quality, retouched image file to use for career portfolios and email accounts. • Tri-Valley Career Center provided one-on-one resume review for 39 attendees.ATTACHMENT 1 19

Reflection and Considerations • This was the highest attended Opportunities Expo • A total of 204 people came out to learn about job opportunities, receive support through resume review, and/or photography. • We had a hard time getting employers into the event. • Reflection of a “low-hire, low-fire” job market • For next year, it will benefit us to work closely with Tri- Valley Career Center in recruiting employers. They also host an annual job fair and get around 20 employers to attend.ATTACHMENT 1 20

LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES STAFF REPORT ITEM NO. 4.3 DATE: February 26, 2026 TO: Chairperson and Members of the Library Board of Trustees FROM: Anwan Baker, Library Director SUBJECT: Presentation on the 2025/2026 Winter Reading Program. RECOMMENDED ACTION Staff recommends the Library Board of Trustees receive the report. DECISION TYPE Not Applicable SUMMARY Livermore Public Library hosted the Winter Reading Olympics from December 1, 2025, to January 15, 2026, at all locations. Participants of all ages logged the amount of their time they spent reading utilizing the free Beanstack app, or on paper gameboards, and earned raffle tickets for prizes. Raffle prizes include a Traeger grill, Cricut, mini photo printer, and more thanks to the Friends of the Livermore Public Library’s generous support; Livermore Valley Arts donated tickets to a few select shows. For registering, participants also received a registration prize while supplies lasted. DISCUSSION This year’s registration numbers were 2,807, a decrease when compared to last year's 3,336. The smaller number of minutes logged this year, 2,551,053 vs. 2,758,904, was no doubt influenced by the reduced participation. Participation in the Winter Reading program helped foster a sense of community. Students in K-12 schools were on winter break during a portion of this reading game and benefitted from increasing the amount of time they would have otherwise spent reading without the Library’s program. Studies have shown that participating in reading programs like these help students retain academic progress while out of school. This was the first year that the raffle drawing was held live via Zoom, rather than in person. Not much feedback was received from the public, but this new format attracted 25 attendees and at least seemed to prevent as many disappointed children at the Library. Staff welcome Library Board of Trustees' feedback and suggestions. ATTACHMENTS 22

LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES STAFF REPORT ITEM NO. 4.4 DATE: February 26, 2026 TO: Chairperson and Members of the Library Board of Trustees FROM: Anwan Baker, Library Director SUBJECT: Presentation on the newly launched 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten initiative. RECOMMENDED ACTION Staff recommends the Library Board of Trustees receive the report. DECISION TYPE Not Applicable SUMMARY 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten is an early literacy challenge that encourages caregivers to regularly read to their children. Studies have shown that children who are read to regularly before starting kindergarten are much more ready for school and even begin learning to read on their own than their peers who have not had this benefit. The program provides a structure to ensure this regular reading happens and enables libraries across the country to provide a method of tracking and earning rewards by participants. DISCUSSION Livermore Public Library launched its own version of 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten on February 1, 2026. For every book a caregiver reads with their child, a book is logged. They can read the same book multiple times, many different books once, or a combination of both for reading to count. After every 100 book milestone, a prize is earned. Participants can log books via the Beanstack app, or a paper log, whichever is preferred.
