Annual Report 2020-2021
3 I am so proud of our libraries and the people who staff and support them. They are truly champions of learning, growth, and exploration even in the toughest of times. In fiscal year 2020-2021, we marked a year since our libraries closed due to the pandemic and what a year it was. Our communities endured more than we could have ever imagined. Despite our enormous challenges, San Mateo County Libraries proved to be a nimble organization with a flexible mission that allowed us to pivot, innovate and quickly respond with much needed services to the public.
This year we focused on deep meaningful work including equity and social justice, youth learning, workforce development, mindfulness, and the power of human experiences and the written word. In addition to providing new and unique services during the past year, we also spent many months preparing plans to safely reopen. Staff ingenuity and thoughtful mobilization resulted in many new and reimagined services to be proud of.
In this annual report, you will find an abundance of compelling stories that showcase our creative spirit, resilience and unwavering commitment to strengthen and uplift our community.

9 “The ability to request library
materials and pick them up at my
local library during the pandemic has
been a lifesaver for me and I expect
other patrons. I truly appreciate it.”
LIBR ARY PATRON
Dedicated Service
Our commitment to enriching the lives of our community
members remains strong. Throughout the quickly
evolving landscape of the past year, we adapted our
innovative services to connect you to valuable resources and to each other.
We inspire young minds through engaging services
like our free Library Explorers camps.
Welcome Back!
In April, we proudly opened our doors to lines of
library enthusiasts who were eager to be back
inside their beloved libraries.
On the first day of in-person service, hundreds
of patrons came into our libraries to browse
collections, use computers, pick up holds, and bask
in the glory of being in their library again. Since
then, we’ve had over 52,000 visitors come through
our doors.
Curbside Service
Our staff and communities were filled with the
excitement of being back in our libraries but for
those that wanted contactless interactions, we
continued to offer curbside services. Curbside
services allowed members of the public to pick up
materials by appointment. We later expanded this
service to allow for a convenient walk-up option
where no appointment was required.
One of the most popular curbside offerings was
our Grab and Go Bundles. A staff curated stack of
books were bundled together by age or topic and
available for pickup by our patrons. Over 28,226
bundles were checked out, circulating close to
200,000 books in our community.
We also offered free printing, 3D printing projects,
and Grab and Sew projects that were a big hit
with the public. Free printing across all 13 of our
locations resulted in 126,070 printed pages for
30,298 patrons. We also had a total of 388 3D print
jobs, with projects ranging from bicycle parts to
succulent planters and five of our locations offered
sewing machines for check out during our curbside
services.
11 Virtual Events
We are a catalyst for community connections,
energizing the virtual environment with responsive
programming and learning opportunities for all ages.
Online book clubs regularly sparked dialogue and
maintained connections across a variety of age
groups, interests and languages. Staff hosted
numerous Tech Café sessions, introducing various
technology platforms and user tips in a friendly,
equitable environment. Storytimes evolved from
recorded videos to interactive experiences, allowing
children and caregivers to sing and socialize with
one another safely. Acclaimed authors disrupted the
loneliness some were feeling in our communities
with the power and inspiration of the written word.
Creativity sparked during our springtime Make It
March programs. We invited everyone to become
a maker, and many did! People participated in
podcasting workshops, took home 14,654 art and
STEM kits for youth, and LEGO grab-bags inspired
young engineers.
Multi-language Programs
We included more of our community members by
offering 133 programs in multiple languages or in a
language other than English, ranging from bilingual
story-times to English development opportunities.

Virtual Meeting Spaces
The holidays are a time for togetherness and
community, which is why we launched virtual
meeting spaces during the winter season. We
made private virtual meeting rooms available for
three hours at a time to accommodate up to 300
attendees. Supporting safe, family gatherings and
bringing together friends is just one more way we
connect and strengthen our community.
Practicing Mindfulness
To ensure greater access to self-care and healing,
we’re proud to be the first public library to partner
with Calm, a mindfulness app, which offers guided
meditations, relaxing soundscapes, and sleep
stories for all ages. Since launching this service,
620 people have accessed this resource to enrich
their lives.
In celebration of Mental Health Month, we built
awareness and connected people to a wide range
of mental health and wellness programs. The
highlight was the inaugural Poetry and Mindfulness
event, a series offered in partnership with County
Supervisors Carole Groom and Warren Slocum and
featuring San Mateo County Poet Laureates past
and present. Heartfelt poems lovingly curated by
the poets were read, engaging patrons in a shared,
powerful experience.
We host a variety of tech help workshops to
promote lifelong learning.

13 To continue to propel us toward becoming
a more equitable county, we hosted various
authors focusing on equity as it pertains to
housing, immigration, education and LGBTQIA+
rights. Each author was introduced by a Library
Governing Board member or community partner,
and free books by each featured author were
given away to patrons to make the conversation
accessible for all.
After each event, the community engaged in
conversations moderated by the Peninsula
Conflict Resolution Center. Speakers shared
information and connected with other
community members to discuss how we can
make a difference moving forward.
Featured topics included:
Implicit bias, how it shapes our views on the
world, and ways to move forward
Our county’s history of inequitable access
to housing, and how that history is still
impacting communities of color today
The experience an undocumented person
faces immigrating to the United States,
and the challenges they face around family
deportations and xenophobia after 9/11
Equity in education and how quality education
is key for all children to succeed
LBGTQIA+ issues including, structural
marginalization, toxic masculinity, and
gender identity

“Thank you so much! I only wish
it could have been longer. I *love*

other important topics and will

for similar events!”

Uplifting Communities
Our communities are at the heart of our libraries, and
we’re committed to addressing their most pressing needs through lifelong learning opportunities.
Our welcoming spaces provide opportunities for
endless exploration for eager readers of all ages.
15 Digital Divide
This year highlighted the overwhelming need for our
communities to have access to reliable technology.
Between distance learning and working from
home, to relying on virtual gatherings to connect
safely with loved ones, having stable technology
with support has never been more important.
To promote both digital literacy and access, our
personalized tech help gave patrons an easy way
to book an appointment with staff that were ready
to assist in both English and Spanish. We also not
only expanded our high-speed Wi-Fi in each of
our libraries’ parking lots, but we made sure that
our broadband service was active 24 hours a day.
We invested in Wi-Fi hotspots—distributing them
throughout our most vulnerable communities and
partnering with local schools to provide hotspots
to keep students connected and learning.
Job Resources
During a year when so many people experienced
job insecurity, San Mateo County Libraries met
the needs of our communities with real-world
workforce assistance. In collaboration with various
community partners, we hosted online career
development programs every week to help boost
job searches and improve skills. From resume
review to practice interviews, we empowered
individuals with the tools they need to succeed.
Meal Program
Our libraries nourish more than minds. Our work
around ensuring that families have what they need
to thrive continues to be a priority. We are proud
to support our communities with our ongoing
meal programs at the East Palo Alto Library and
Half Moon Bay Library. Offered as a to-go service,
we provided 35,347 meals to our community
members.

17 School Outreach
While education evolved rapidly over the past year,
our commitment to support youth and educators
remains unchanged. Virtual school outreach events
were offered in three languages and reached 11,962
students. They included connecting youth with 22
accomplished authors of popular books.
With youth at home and struggling with distance
learning, access to our wealth of library resources
became imperative. Our new student card project
opened up a world of knowledge to all youth
enrolled in schools. We partnered with school
districts to seamlessly give library cards to every
student; adding approximately 1,600 card holders.
We will continue to expand this program until all
school districts have been included and no child
lacks access to San Mateo County Libraries’ support.
Bright Futures
Supporting youth is at the core of our mission. We
expanded programs to enrich virtual school experiences, combat learning loss, and help children stay connected
with their friends and communities.
Partner Highlight
Partnerships make us stronger, and we are
grateful to be able to provide opportunities for
youth through our collaboration with Genentech.
This spring, we kicked off Make-It March by
providing sew-able robot circuit kits to children
at our libraries, and launching a new virtual
version of Genentech’s afterschool engineering
program, GeneAcademy. We recruited 100
3rd-5th grade students throughout the county,
with targeted recruitment to engage youth from
the highest need schools. From January-May,
students participated in biweekly letter-writing
to build literacy skills, and learned about various
STEAM topics through live, hands-on activities.
“Before the academy I did not
get columns, or turbines. I’ll
miss this. That was pretty fun.”

We connected with young minds by offering
transformative virtual experiences for all ages.

19 Summer Initiatives
Covid-19 has exacerbated inequities in youth
learning achievement and social emotional
development, disproportionately affecting youth
of color. With our history as leaders in the summer
learning space and the encouragement of our
Governing Board to think big, we developed a
robust set of interventions that focused on positive
whole-child outcomes to provide unprecedented
support for a historic summer.
“Thank you so much for taking care of my 4-year-old daughter! She left me for the first time yesterday and apparently had a blast. She told me that she wants to see everyone again soon. And what she said melts my heart!” LIBR ARY PATRON
Library Explorers
We launched a new camp called Library Explorers
to address educational equity. Strong school
partnerships successfully connected under-
resourced rising K-3rd graders with this free
summer enrichment program hosted at eleven of
our libraries. Designed to help youth overcome
pandemic losses and prepare for a new school
year, five exciting weeks of the program helped
334 participants develop their social emotional
skills and explore STEAM topics ranging from the
human brain to engineering.
Inspiring Summers
To ensure student success, we expanded our award-
winning Big Lift Inspiring Summers camps, working
closely with seven school districts to provide the
highest-need youth with enriching, evidence-based
experiences. Thanks to the additional resources,
we were able to extend the length of the program
and offer additional slots for students, serving 976
youth.
Families CREATE
To make Summer Learning accessible to more
children, we introduced Families CREATE, a virtual
program funded by a grant from the Institute of
Museum and Library Services. The goal of this
program is to provide engaging STEAM and literacy
activities to youth and to build family engagement
through both self-paced and guided live, interactive
virtual experiences with free, take-home kits
provided by the library.

Summer Learning
As part of our commitment to equity, this year we
enrolled every youth cardholder in the Summer
Learning Challenge with the hopes of engaging more
youth in creativity and exploration. Once enrolled,
youth were automatically entered into a drawing
to win one of 13 $1,000 scholarships. Library staff
worked tirelessly to provide stimulating reading
lists and inventive programming that would inspire
youth to read and try new things. Free books were
also provided to youth throughout the summer so
they could start or add to their home libraries.
21 Library Champions
We’re proud of our staff and their dedication to the
wellbeing of our communities. When the county
called on us for help during the pandemic our staff
responded by volunteering to serve in various roles
as emergency workers. In addition to providing
technology and information support, staff have
served as contact tracers, meal providers, and
vaccine distribution workers.
Customer Care operators have been a lifeline to
our communities, providing direct assistance
over telephone, text, and email. Our library
champions mitigated social isolation by helping
patrons find good reads and connecting
them to vital services through 33,010 friendly
interactions.
Community Support
Our volunteers quickly mobilized to help transition
our crucial ESL programs from in-person to online
environments without missing a beat. They have
utilized technology to reach even more community
members in new and creative ways.
Our Friends of the Library groups and the Foundation
for San Mateo County Libraries continued to be
champions of our library services, and showed
immense support to library staff in a time when it
was needed the most.
Expanding Horizons
Our welcoming spaces, passionate staff and volunteers
are what make our libraries special. We connect our
boundless energy and transformative experiences to our
communities.
Our spaces support lifelong learning by creating
an inclusive sense of place for all to enjoy.
“The library team is the most
amazing staff . . . I’ve just never
seen a more creative or productive
group of people that never say no
and are always looking to do bigger
and better in how they serve the

We’re in the final construction stages of the new
Atherton Library thanks to crews who have been
hard at work throughout the year. The beautiful
11,000 square-foot library will reflect the history
and civic pride of the Town—standout features
include a quiet reading room, a maker space and
digital tech lab, numerous small meeting rooms,
a café, larger front porch, and a restored history
room that will truly make this library one of a
kind. We anticipate that the new library will be
completed soon, and are planning for a grand
opening celebration to take place later this year.
“Thank you for making this
change possible for the North Fair

to see all the services the county
will provide to residents of this
part of San Mateo County.”

Brisbane
The beautiful new Brisbane Library was completed
and opened to the public for the first time on
April 22nd. The 7,670 square foot library provides
three times the square footage, the city’s first-
ever art display, an increase in collection size,
new dedicated areas, such as a History Room,
Quiet Room, children’s and teen spaces,
collaborative makerspace, Community Room,
and beautiful outdoor patios and gardens. The
new building meets LEED Silver standards and the
environmentally-progressive design features an
abundance of natural light, sustainable interior
choices, and a 5,000 gallon rainwater cistern
which will result in a 77% reduction of indoor water
use. The new library has been enthusiastically
embraced by the community.

North Fair Oaks
In March, our family of libraries grew as we
welcomed the North Fair Oaks Library into San
Mateo County Libraries. Community residents
now benefit from increased hours and programs
along with comprehensive and innovated services.
Getting to know the North Fair Oaks community
has been a joy, and we look forward to working
together with them to continue to expand our
presence and services.
We strengthen our communities by igniting
growth through boundless opportunities like
offering free reading books.

r Honorable Mayor Awasthi and Members of the City Council, It
is with great pride that we share with you our 2020-2021 Annual Report! De
spite our challenges this year, San Mateo County Libraries proved to be a nimble organization with a flexible mission that allowed us to pivot, innovate and quickly respond to community needs. Our library champions jumped into action quickly to offer much beloved programs and classes virtually, support new needs like distance learning, and reinvent traditional library services in creative ways, such as curbside service.
Thi
s year, we expanded our award-winning summer camps to help youth overcome pandemic losses and prepare for a new school year. Five exciting weeks of programs provided our highest-need youth with important social emotional skills and enriching, evidence-based learning experiences.
For
the majority of the year, our libraries provided curbside and walk-up services to the public. Foster City Library staff were excited to provide almost 37,000 curbside and walk-up services. We were also delighted to engage our younger community members in our Summer Learning program in the summer of 2020. We gave away over 8,500 summer learning books to young Foster City readers.
In ad
dition to serving our community through inventive new curbside and virtual services, we were also able to reopen the library successfully and safely on April 22, 2021. The Foster City Library welcomed nearly 11,000 visitors between opening day and the end of June.

Focused Study - Agreed Upon Procedures (AUP)
The focused study for CY2021 was to
study our city’s $300+MM surplus
funds investments and compare with
5 neighboring cities in Silicon Valley.
➢Foster City
➢Belmont
➢Redwood City
➢Burlingame
➢Palo Alto
➢Mountain View
Investment criteria
❖Regulatory compliance
❖Local ordinance
❖City council’s directives
Three key measurements
➢Safety
➢Liquidity
➢Yield
AUP Result Snapshot
Highlight of Key Findings
• Objectives of managing the city’s surplus funds are centered on three measures, and in the order of importance of:
Safety, Liquidity, and Yield.
• All six cities have similar investment criteria with constraints of regulatory compliance, local ordinance, and city council’s directives. Palo Alto has some slightly longer investment instruments up to 10 years in Maturity. • Foster City’s investments appear to be highly liquid and super safe, with concentration of 94.3% of total investment in LAIF. LAIF has overnight liquidity and 0.54% annual yield. Foster City’s overall weighed average annual yield is 0.60%.
• Some investment categories such as County Investment Pool had past insolvency and has been avoided by our very experienced Finance Department. Number on the report (1% yield for this category) is only half of the story. • Mountain View and Palo Alto have large surplus funds, $780+MM and $550+MM respectively. They have a slightly more diversified investments, especially with 1) Treasury Notes/Bonds; and 2) Treasury and Agencies. This partially contributed to the higher yield of 1.56% for Mountain View and 1.78% for Palo Alto. • Burlingame and Redwood City use independent investment manager and the performances were not necessarily the best of the group.
• Audit Committee has only made observations, not made any recommendation. We believe this Directed Focus Study and the final Report provide good foundational information for our City Council and Finance Department to further analyze and potentially make micro adjustments in future when they view it proper and necessary.
Financial Matters Reviewed by the Audit Committee in CY2021
Next Year 2022 Goals
The current team of the Committee will be in its last year of the 3-year term and shall continue to seek input and request of area of interests to work on from the City Council. In FY2022, the committee shall continue to review the annual audit process, the City's annual financial reports for and recommend, if any, a directed study to be performed by the independent Auditors ancillary to their audit.
