INTRODUCTION
ifted to the City in 1962 by the Norton Simon Foundation, the unique 10,500 s.f. Hunt Library at 201 S. Basque Avenue was designed by renowned architect William Pereira and sits on 2.2 acres of what was originally the campus of Hunt Foods Corporation. It operated as a library and cultural center until 2013 when the City consolidated library services at its newly-expanded central library at the Civic Center.
From 2014 until 2020, the Hunt was leased to a neighboring property owner, which prompted com - munity concern and public discussion about the future of the building. During this time, application was made and approved for the Hunt’s listing on the National Register of Historic Properties, which requires the preservation of its building and grounds.
In 2019, the City was awarded a State of California Library grant in the amount of $2.5 million, secured through the efforts of Assemblymember Sharon Quirk-Silva. Later that year, the City of Fullerton issued a Request for Proposals, seeking a Literacy and Cultural Programming Partnership for the revitalization, operation and maintenance of the Hunt.
In June 2020, the Fullerton City Council selected Arts Orange County and Heritage Future as its designated programmatic partners for the Hunt Library Revitalization Project. During initial meetings between the partners and City management, a number of items were shared or determined: the City would not re-activate the Hunt as a branch library but the State Library Grant requires library services to be offered at the property, the amount of the State Library Grant was considerably less than the estimated costs of renovating the property, programmatic activities at the Hunt would be negatively impacted by the presence of an active dog park on the property, and the architect would require upfront information about the proposed programmatic uses in order to plan appropriately for its renovations.
In October 2020, the City contracted with Arts Orange County to conduct preliminary programmatic planning. The results of that effort are comprised in this report.
On May 15, 2021, Arts Orange County President and
CEO Richard Stein met with Senator Josh Newman
and Assemblymember Sharon Quirk-Silva and
alerted them to the concerns regarding sufficient
funds for the project and asked them to consider
requesting additional money from the State of
California. Senator Newman agreed to make the
request and Assemblymember Quirk-Silva agreed
to support the request. In the budget signed in
July 2021, the State awarded the City of Fullerton
$2.75 million, which included $250,000 in
programmatic startup funding. Arts Orange County
wishes to express its sincere gratitude to Senator
Newman and Assemblymember Quirk-Silva for
their quick and determined action to secure these
additional funds.
In August 2021, the Fullerton City Council approved
moving the dog park to Brea Dam Park. The space
presently occupied by the dog park on the Hunt
grounds may now be reconceived.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
he Hunt Library is beloved in the memories of those who grew up with it as their branch library and as the site for art exhibits and performances they experienced. The building is admired for its design by enthusiasts of its renowned architect William Pereira and of the Mid-Century Modern style that permeated American life in the 1950s and 1960s. For these mostly older people, the promise of the Hunt Library’s revitalization is to recapture the experience of its former glory.
Others in the community view the Hunt Library as a much-needed space for activities that have no other home, such as rooms where groups can gather regularly, a shared workspace with office amenities, a place where they can exhibit or perform, and a unique venue for special events. Many of these are younger and of diverse backgrounds who value the authenticity of the Hunt Library and its hideaway location as just the kind of space where they would like to hang out. Even more so if a café is on site.
Parents and educators envision its future as a learning space, especially for children and teens living within walking distance of the Hunt Library. Its potential as an after-school magnet for doing homework, receiving tutoring, being mentored in a media lab, and accessing high-speed Internet was frequently cited as the most important reason for its revitalization. And these activities help fulfill the State Library of California grant requirements by providing library-worthy programs and services.
This input was gathered through three primary channels: interviews with key stakeholders, facilitated community visioning sessions in English, Spanish and Korean, and an online survey.

More specifics follow that illuminate the ideas of the community and translate them into programmatic grids demonstrating the goals they fulfill. Also, a sample “year at a glance” and a sample “month at a glance” of programming are offered to provide a better understanding of a possible Hunt Library schedule.
Drawing from the ideas of the community, we have crafted the following Mission, Vision and Goals:
VISION:
The Hunt Library will come to life by gathering, enriching and inspiring residents and visitors, and will foster a pride of place that generates a positive spirit and enduring
energy that strengthens our community.
MISSION:
To provide programs that are accessible, adaptable and
designed to evolve and fit the needs of the community.
GOALS:
To attain the Vision and to fulfill the Mission, we propose curating experiences that are Multidisciplinary,
Collaborative, and Participatory.

nterviews were conducted with 36 stakeholders representing various constituencies with an expressed interest in the Hunt Library Revitalization Project. These included current and former elected and appointed government officials, City staff members, leaders in K–12 and higher education, arts and culture leaders, and others. Such interviews are not only valuable in gathering context and input, but in informing the interviewees whose knowledge about the project varies.
SUMMARY OF STAKEHOLDER INPUT
Location, Building and Grounds
Make it an active place where people will have a reason to go to — it’s what saves historic buildings in the long term.
The Hunt is a highly significant building in architect William Pereira’s career, and a real chance to attract fans of his work and of Mid-Century Modern art, architecture and design.
The isolated location of the Hunt Library means that the activities there will have to either draw from adjacent neighborhoods or be “destination events” that people will make a special effort to attend.
The current lack of sufficient parking on site may limit attendance, so moving the dog park can help the City re-think how to address this issue.
The building was previously a magnet for homeless people in the community, and it has been vandalized in recent months, so security will need to be addressed.
Community
Hunt Library is in an area of town that offers little in the way of community services and is populated by lower economic status residents. The Hunt is seen as the only place of its kind in the neighborhood, underscoring its importance as a resource to those living in the immediate area. The lack of adequate high-speed Internet access in the adjacent neighborhoods suggests that the Hunt should offer this amenity.

Hunt Library Revitalization Project 9
Need to ensure that there is an abundance of free and affordable programs and services.
While all ages should be welcomed at the Hunt, many interviewees cited a particular need to offer programming for children and teens, including those with special needs. For teens, in particular, the programming will only be successful if it truly meets their interests.
The Hunt can be a valuable meeting space for local organizations who lack sufficient places to gather. Similarly, some of these organizations lack offices and could benefit from shared workspace at the Hunt.
Arts, Culture & Literacy Programs
The importance of after-school programs focusing on literacy and assisting young people with their studies, such as tutoring, was emphasized by some.
The lack of in-school music programs until 5th grade suggests that music instruction for younger students be included.
The education community, including California State University, Fullerton, Fullerton College, and Fullerton Unified School District have instructional and community engagement programs that could take place at the Hunt at little or no cost. The District has a robust schedule of curricular 10 City of Fullerton
programs, some of which could be conducted at the Hunt. CSUF College of the Arts graduate students sometimes conduct visual or performing arts thesis projects offsite, and might view the Hunt as an attractive option.
Providing access to a media lab with state-of-the-art equipment and instruction on site was considered a high priority.
Library Function
Honoring the Hunt’s history without reinstating it as a branch library can be accomplished through programmatic linkages with the main library: moving some programs to the Hunt, highlighting books at both locations that relate to other Hunt programs, and providing some satellite functional services.
The Hunt will have the opportunity to create and deliver innovative information services to community members that are different than those of a traditional library. “E-branch” services, such as those offered at other libraries, can provide 24/7 access to the most popular books, magazines, and databases as well as many student resources.
Without the burden and obligations of maintaining stacks, cataloging, maintaining and storing thousands of books and without having to staff a reference desk and a counter for checking in and out of books, the Hunt will have the ability to respond programmatically to the needs and interests of those who come there seeking the best of what a library can offer.
Sustainability
To fund the operations and programs, many suggested a business model similar to that of The Muckenthaler Center: renting out the building and grounds for special events and weddings.
The Muckenthaler leadership expressed support for the Hunt embracing such a business model and sees the Hunt’s role as complementary, not competitive.
The proposed idea of a café on site was considered highly desirable, one that would contribute to its financial sustainability, and would help attract visitors to the Hunt.
Outside funding may be available for some of the programming from public and private sources.
First Five, which focuses on the youngest children up to age 5, was mentioned as a prospect for helping to fund programs targeting that population.
The Fullerton Library Foundation, which is independent of the library, is seen by many as a natural funder for many activities at the Hunt.

hree facilitated sessions open to the public were conducted on site at the Hunt Library with COVID safety protocols in place. These included the opportunity for attendees to walk through the building beforehand in order to help them imagine how the space might be utilized to fulfill their programmatic aspirations for the Hunt. The April session was in English; the May session was in English and Spanish; the June session was in English and Korean. A total of 100 attended the sessions. Visioning session input was synthesized with the online survey and stakeholder interviews input in the preparation of this report.

PROGRAMMATIC GOALS
ities worldwide recognize the multiple benefits of creative placemaking to their communities.
This now commonly used term typically refers to bringing places to life by engaging citizens directly in a variety of creative experiences through the installation, exhibition and presentation of public art and performance. These creative places attract people to gather, enrich and inspire them, and foster a pride of place that generates a positive spirit and enduring energy that strengthen safe, healthy neighborhoods and communities.
Dedicated to community building, it is the mission of programmatic partner Heritage Future, a nonprofit organization, to provide our diverse neighborhoods with creative and cultural opportunities.
We accomplish these objectives through three divisions: Past Forward , Public Podcasting, and Without Books .®
Past Forward is a designer of public spaces and experiences. We transform historic buildings into accessible and adaptable placemaking centers through collaborative programming and customizable environments.
Public Podcasting is a public podcast service and distributor. Our educational media is designed to amplify the voices of community leaders by providing a platform to share stories about civic engagement and cultural enrichment.
Without Books® is an author-centric book initiative. Our resources support authors. We also provide access to millions of books.

EQUIPMENT & FIXED ASSET
RECOMMENDATIONS
n order to support the programmatic goals, the Hunt Library will need to be properly equipped with technical equipment to meet the expectations of its users.
The installed equipment should be simple to use, easy to maintain, and not require a costly technician to make
adjustments. On those occasions when the needs of an event exceed the capabilities of the equipment on site, such requirements can be met through rentals and the hiring of outside technicians, and would be incorporated into the budgets for in-house events or added to the rental fees charged to the outside user.
Equipment would be designed and acquired to accommodate the most prevalent expected needs of the overall building and grounds as well as specific spaces within the building.
This would include these general categories:
Large screen televisions
Entrance message board
Wireless high speed Internet
Lighting systems
Sound system
A preliminary estimate for the purchase and installation of recommended equipment is $350,000, which it is recommended be included in the capital improvement costs for the Hunt from its overall $5 million in State grants.
Cabling and hookup
Wiring Infrastructure
Exterior power to support large outdoor sound and lighting Speaker locations
Lighting towers

FINANCIAL MODEL
hallenging the traditional business model for bookstores, cultural centers, libraries, and galleries, programmatic partner Heritage Future’s multipurpose placemaking centers are accessible, adaptable, and designed to evolve and fit the needs of our community.
Forgoing costly programming, our all-in-one community model is low-risk and high reward.
With a flexible format and interchangeable parts, we leverage customizable online and offline opportunities with a deliberate budget and versatile staff. Heritage Future is designed to operate on a modest budget while maximizing our partnerships in the community.
Heritage Future is uniquely positioned to leverage physical space, innovate program formats, and cultivate relationships with local and national academic institutions, public-private corporations, nonprofits, and community leaders to create a thriving cultural hub at the Hunt.
Based on the model we developed at The Center in Orange, our vision follows three goals:
Partner with a local cafe/catering company to provide administrative staff, daily operations, and revenue to support community programming.
Collaborate with academic institutions and local nonprofits to execute a series of community discussions, lectures, and workshops with an emphasis on literacy, art and culture, urban agriculture, community engagement, education, technology and innovation, entrepreneurship, business and workforce development.
Connect with artists, galleries, museums, and local art groups to curate exhibitions, festivals, performances, and screenings.

Hunt Library Revitalization Project 41
The plan is for the Hunt Library operation to be sustainable after a three- to five-year launch period during which it will be necessary to subsidize start-up expenses. Funds for these initial expenses in the amount of $250,000 were approved in the State of California budget in July 2021 as requested by Senator Josh Newman and supported by Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva.
Expense budget items for the Programmatic
Partners are:
Full-Time Staff
Part-Time Staff
Utilities
WiFi/Internet
Security After-Hours
Janitorial Services
This Financial Model depends upon the
assumption that major building maintenance,
groundskeeping, parking lot and driveway
maintenance, and library services would
continue to be handled by the City of Fullerton.
Income to support programmatic costs:
Café Rent
Event and Wedding Rentals
Meeting Room Rentals
Ticketed Programs
Festivals — Booths, Sponsors
Book Shop Sales
