Happy holidays <\/strong><\/p>\n

The San Carlos Friends of the Library (SCFOL) wish everyone a peaceful and healthy holiday season. The library will be open Dec. 27\u201331. At the SCFOL annual meeting, new SCFOL Life Member Linda Kerr was introduced as well as those named last month. All six have had their names added to the Community Room\u2019s Honor Wall. Thank You!<\/p>\n

New San Carlos Branch Library design update<\/strong><\/p>\n

Judy Williams introduced a surprise guest at the SCFOL annual meeting. David Pfeifer from Domusstudio Architecture, showed the plans which he and his associates presented to the San Carlos Branch Library Building Committee in October.<\/p>\n

All were impressed with the design.\u00a0The 25,000-square-foot, world-class library will be a single-story structure; its exterior building and landscape designs compliment the natural habitat of the area and the theme will be carried throughout its modern interior design. The main entrance will be situated on the north side of the upper lot. An estimated 31 parking spaces including handicapped will be on this upper level. The 2,500-square-foot Community Room and SCFOL\u2019s book storage area can be accessed from within the main library, but also have independent outside access. The library extends over the corner lot at Golfcrest and Jackson Drives \u2014 15 feet above the surface \u2014 creating a covered, but open, 46-space parking lot which includes handicap areas. From there, the library can be accessed via a lower level entry court either by elevator or stairs. This entry area is close by for those who use public transportation. Entrance to and egress from both parking areas are available via a two-way drive which circles behind the building, connecting Golfcrest and Jackson Drives.<\/p>\n

The library\u2019s interior is state of the art and designed with the future in mind. Private meeting\/study rooms, large areas dedicated to children\u2019s activities, two maker spaces, a separate teen area with group study modules, and a large adult reading area with lots of natural light and seating with views that open onto an elevated outdoor terrace are a few of the design features.<\/p>\n

The design will be presented to the community at the Navajo Community Planners\u2019 meeting to be held at the Tifereth Israel Synagogue in San Carlos on Jan. 11 at 6:30 p.m. We hope to see you there. The corner lot mitigation continues; recent reports sound hopeful that completion is in sight.<\/p>\n

SCFOL president, Joan Hayes reviews 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

As I reflect on my first year of being president of SCFOL, I have many things to be thankful for. Our new Branch Manager, David Ege, joined us in January. He has added a great deal to our library, and we as the Friends, are enjoying working with him.<\/p>\n

I have many \u201cthank yous” to mention; first, the Friends for re-electing me for another year. Judy Williams is doing a great job as Chair of our Building Committee. Volunteer coordinator Lee Ottman, organizes our wonderful book sale volunteers. Sue Hotz keeps the public aware of the branch\u2019s programs via the Mission Times Courier and our website. Evie McGhee keeps fantastic minutes and records. Ron McFee, Roberta Irwin, Jim Shields and many volunteers work tirelessly all month to create our huge monthly book sales. A big \u201cThank You\u201d to all who donate the books each month; without you we would not have a sale. Become a SCFOL member for as little as $5\u201320 per year, $250 for Life Memberships, and join us for our very successful SCFOL members-only Friday book sales \u2014 have first choice on paperbacks and media.<\/p>\n

Jerry Hotz sees that our finances are in order. This year, SCFOL donated $22,000 to the Friends of the Library Foundation Matching Funds to purchase programs, equipment and materials for the library. Our equipment fund purchased the Radio Frequency ID machine which will be installed later this year.<\/p>\n

Bobbi Dennis updates our membership list which stands at 195 annual and 98 life members! Ruth Coleman joined our board this year and manages our Amazon book sales. Barbara Stewart organizes the artists and beautiful art displays in our Art Gallery along with Su Bonnet. Ruth George lists the branch\u2019s activities on \u201cNext Door San Carlos,\u201d and suggests OASIS programs. Carleen Hemric finds fantastic local authors to present their books. Thank you one and all!<\/p>\n

Our wonderful essay contest co-coordinator Barbara Woodall and her daughter Patty resigned this year. With the help of Lyn Crisologo, I am filling in but we need this position filled soon.<\/p>\n

To all who have supported our branch library and SCFOL by your program attendance, book rentals, and donations, I thank you and look forward to seeing you at the library.<\/p>\n
