Subject: Library Activity Updates – Receive and File
BACKGROUND
Staff provides the Library Board of Trustees monthly updates on activities at the Camarillo Public Library.
DISCUSSION
A Library & RFBC Activity Report from October 2024 is included as Attachment 1, featuring Library Highlights, Professional Development, Literacy/ESL and updates on the Russell Fischer Business Collection (RFBC) for the month of October.
Russell Fischer Business Collection is leading a business education series titled “Jr.
Entrepreneur” (for students ages 9 - 12) and “TEENtrepreneur” (for students ages 13 - 17). The series will cover such topics as business fundamentals, marketing, customer service and money management. The goal of this program is to educate students about workforce development and entrepreneurship so they can gain skills to imagine a better Camarillo. Maegan Profeta, the Library’s Business Services Coordinator, has developed this program through onsite workshops in the Library and at the Boys & Girls Club of Camarillo. Both programs culminate in the Jr. Entrepreneur Marketplace, where students will have the chance to gain real-world experience by selling their products to the public and earning money. The Jr. Entrepreneur Marketplace will take place on Saturday, December 14 in Santa’s Village at Community Center Park in Camarillo from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.
Details on additional programs and events planned for December will be included in the December Camarillo Library newsletter, which will be available on the Camarillo Library’s website by December 1.
