<strong>Library</strong> Services Director<br />
A Note from the Director<br />
It’s hard to believe another summer is almost<br />
over. In <strong>August</strong>, local students will return to<br />
classrooms, <strong>and</strong> life will pick up its pace again.<br />
For the libraries, <strong>August</strong> serves as a big break<br />
between our busiest time of year <strong>and</strong> the return<br />
of regular school-year programming.<br />
June <strong>2022</strong> was the busiest month at Burbank’s<br />
three libraries since before the p<strong>and</strong>emic in<br />
terms of onsite visits, with almost 40,000 people coming into the building.<br />
With a packed set of summer programs for all ages, plus extra incentives<br />
to read as part of the Summer Reading Program, that makes sense. July 1<br />
also marked one year since we eliminated <strong>Library</strong> fines for overdue<br />
materials, which continues our efforts to remove barriers <strong>and</strong> engage<br />
our entire community in the <strong>Library</strong>.<br />
Summer programs, eBooks <strong>and</strong> many other services are supported by<br />
the Friends of the Burbank Public <strong>Library</strong>, who were also able to hold a<br />
successful book sale this summer <strong>and</strong> have both of their used bookstores<br />
at the Central <strong>and</strong> Buena Vista branches open. Without the Friends, the<br />
<strong>Library</strong> could only offer a fraction of the great services it does. Last year<br />
<strong>and</strong> this year, that has included matching funds for the Lunch at the<br />
<strong>Library</strong> grant from the California State <strong>Library</strong>, through which hundreds<br />
of books are distributed to Burbank Unified School District students who<br />
qualify for free school meals. You can learn more or join the Friends at<br />
burbanklibrary.org/friends.<br />
The success of the <strong>Library</strong> <strong>and</strong> our work depends on this network of<br />
partners <strong>and</strong> influences – our users, our community organizations, our<br />
City <strong>and</strong> certainly our staff. A recent survey conducted by the City of<br />
Burbank showed 9 out of 10 Burbank residents consider it to be a good or<br />
excellent place to live, with libraries high on the list of services that make<br />
them feel that way. We are happy to do our part to contribute <strong>and</strong> are<br />
always open to ideas for improvement.<br />
