2. 20 -hr. Librarian I /Children's Services Justification: The minimum hours need to cover the Children's desks and all supporting work requires 79 of the 80 work hours of the two Children's Librarians. In reality, we are unable to meet service needs with our existing staff, and must piece together time of the Public Services Manager, Teen Librarian, Adult Services Librarians, a library cataloger, or substitute employee to supplement those hours. The same issues mentioned above apply here, along with lots of multi- tasking while on the public desk, making it hard to serve patrons as they should be. We also have extremely limited ability to do school outreach, or to develop partnerships with organizations to help provide educational opportunities and programs for children. There is extremely limited time for staff development. Cost: $24,900 Rank: 1st (tied with above) 3. Summer intern for Historical Museum to cover Friday and Saturday hours. Justification: We will now have three buildings open, meaning that in order to handle tours and the Jacoe Store, there need to be two people during open hours. These evening and weekend hours are difficult to fill with volunteers. Cost: $2,160 Rank: 2nd 4. 20 -hr. Museum Technician Allows expansion of open hours, cataloging and scanning of historic documents and photos, limited outreach.
