I.President’s Message
Our fiscal year ’22-23 was highlighted by strategic internal growth, reaching an important
agreement with the City of Palm Springs, and real progress on the part of the Library,
Trustees and City towards the renovation of the main library building.
One of our strategic imperatives, established in the previous fiscal year, was to increase our
Board membership. We have been successful in that regard and now count 22 individuals
who are focused on the financial advancement of the library and collectively provide the
Board with talent, experience and commitment. We are fortunate to be able to count on
each of them.
Secondly, the Foundation reached a cooperative agreement with the City of Palm Springs
creating a platform for the Foundation to raise funds for the main library building
renovation. Naming rights, special purpose donations and other key provisions are included
in this Memorandum of Understanding.
Third, the Foundation followed the very positive progress the Library staff, Trustees and City
Council made during the year in securing initial grants that will jump start the renovation
project. The $13 million committed by the State of California and the City Council combined
will be used for infrastructure. Jeannie Kays, Library Director, and her staff are to be
commended for their successful grant proposals.
The City Council also accepted a proposal from the Library Trustees to expand the scope of
the renovation project beyond the infrastructure commitments. The investment needed to
meet this expanded scope is central to the mission of the Foundation and we intend to raise
relevant funds through our fundraising efforts in the near term.
I was privileged to have participated on the committee reviewing responses to the City’s
request for qualifications to select an architectural firm to prepare a scope of work and
renderings for the project. The City has not yet announced the contract award, but from the
finalists identified I am convinced the eventual design and renovation will be exceptional
and worthy of the Palm Springs community.
Finally, I would like to extend my thanks and recognition to Ed McBride who has been a
tireless champion of the Palm Springs Public Library and an unceasing advocate of the
renovation project. Ed served on the Foundation board in our early years and importantly,
as a Trustee of the Public Library. We would not be where we are today without his
significant contributions.
Library Board of Trustees, Sept. 6, 2023, pg. 30

II.Accomplishments
a.Recruitment efforts led to an increase of Board membership to 22 directors.
The Board conducted a strategic review facilitated by the consultancy Library Strategies
in the previous fiscal year. One of the strategic imperatives identified was to significantly
expand board membership. This was accomplished in this past fiscal year. A list of board
members follows in Appendix A.
b.A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Foundation and the City was put
in place to assist with future fundraising efforts for the main library building renovation
project.
This MOU is a significant milestone for the Foundation as it provides a framework for
conducting a major Capital Campaign inclusive of Naming Rights and Special Purpose
donations that can be promoted.
c.The third Annual Fund Drive was successfully conducted.
Each year the Board produces a mailing to its potential donor database requesting
general purpose donations. For the third year in a row the Board sent the letter to an
increased number of recipients and yielded an increase in donations.
d.A “Pride on the Page LGBTQ+ Books and Writers’ Festival” was held to great attendance
and attendee kudos.
The event was a collaboration between the Palm Springs Public Library staff and the
Foundation during PS Pride in November 2023. The goal was to bring together thought
provoking, entertaining, and enriching subject matter and to simultaneously increase
the profile of the Foundation within the community. Forty authors across ten panels
were presented culminating in a Saturday evening event featuring Sharon Gless and
Peter Paige. Over 420 attendees participated in the events over the two days. This
inaugural was so successful that the City of Palm Springs awarded the Foundation a
$10,000 grant to continue the event in the fall of 2023.
e.The Foundation continued its financial support of the Library’s “Hotspot” internet access
program.
These units can be checked out using a library card and provide users with internet
access while the devices are in use, providing individuals and families with internet
access.
Library Board of Trustees, Sept. 6, 2023, pg. 31

f.A “Brunch on the Page” event was successfully launched in April to sold out attendance
and uniformly positive attendee feedback.
The event (also an inaugural) was held at a wonderful modern private home in the
Tennis District on April 1, 2023. The Foundation is grateful to an individual who
graciously provided this venue and generous financial backing. Two local authors,
Steven Rowley and Byron Lane, participated in a moderated Q and A with the day’s 70
attendees and read from their most recent works. Corey Roskin, board member,
expertly moderated the proceedings. Six additional sponsors of the event also aided in
the fundraising effort, insuring a positive outcome for the Foundation’s general funds.
Planning is already underway to repeat this event in 2024.
g.The Foundation participated in the One PS Day at Ruth Hardy Park, and the city’s Family
Day in the baseball stadium.
The Foundation’s visibility was increased, and our email database expanded, at the One
PS Day and parent awareness of the Foundation was enhanced at Family Day.
III.Board Activities
a.The Foundation Board held an internal retreat in March and established its committee
structure to include Communications, Development, Finance, Executive, Events, and
Membership committees; an Advocacy Team, and increased support for the Treasurer
and Secretary positions.
b.The Board elected its officers for the ’23-24 fiscal year at its June Meeting. The officers
are:
David Sidley – President
Bill Wylie – Vice President
David Engen – Treasurer
Serena Leiterman – Secretary
c.A listing of current board members is shown in Appendix A following.
IV.Library Renovation Progress
a.State Grant – Jeannie Kays, Library Director, led a successful grant proposal to the State
of California which resulted in an award of $6.5 million to be used for improvements to
the main library building infrastructure.
Library Board of Trustees, Sept. 6, 2023, pg. 32
4
b.Matching City Grant – The City of Palm Springs followed suit and matched the State
grant also with $6.5 million, also to be used for infrastructure upgrades.
c.City Council Approval for a Broader Scope of Improvements - The Library Trustees and
Jeannie Kays proposed an expanded set of recommended improvements to the City
Council to renovate the main library building and the adjacent Frey building beyond the
limits of the two infrastructure grants. The Council approved this proposal.
d.Architect Selection Process – Subsequent to the approval of an expanded renovation,
the library and relevant City staff conducted a request for qualifications to secure an
architect to draft plans for the renovated buildings. Final selection of the architectural
firm has not been announced. David Sidley, Foundation Board President, served on the
evaluation committee. There is a great degree of optimism regarding the qualifications
of the selected firm and the design plans they will propose.
e.Going Forward Implications for the Foundation – Initial funding of $13 million has been
secured from the State and City towards the renovation of the Palm Springs Public
Library main building and adjunct facility. The Library Trustees and the City have
approved a full-scale renovation of the existing building at 300 South Sunrise Way and
the adjunct facility known as the J.C. Frey building. The additional funding amount
required to complete this expanded vision is not yet known, but the City is in the
process of selecting an architectural firm to create a plan and develop cost estimates.
The Foundation sees itself playing an important role in raising the needed funds to
realize the vision of the Trustees, City Council and Library staff beyond the committed
infrastructure grants to provide for an exceptional, highly functional library for the
citizens and visitors of Palm Springs.
The Foundation is eager to continue its progress in fiscal ’23-24. The advancements of
the renovation project last year will lead to further progress in the coming year. The
Board is motivated to prepare for major fundraising as the scope of the renovation
project is announced.
V.Looking Ahead
Eagerly anticipated is the prospect of seeing renderings of the redone main library which
will provide the Board with some tangible tools with which to share with potential donors
and our community. A listing of the major components of the fully reimagined interior space
will also be very helpful in developing a naming rights approach to donation solicitation.
Library Board of Trustees, Sept. 6, 2023, pg. 33
5
The Board feels it is on course to ready itself internally to be able to fundraise at an
advanced level when these tools become available so as to be able to meet the ambitious
March 2026 deadlines of the committed grants from the State and City.
To that end, the Board expects to conduct a follow-up strategy session with Library
Strategies and the recently expanded board membership in the fall. This will coalesce Board
ideas, create a collective focus, and maximize the effectiveness of the skills, talents and
experience of our members.
Importantly, the Board feels it can now move forward with two other major strategic
imperatives: conducting an Awareness Campaign with the support of a high-quality Public
Relations firm; and recruitment of an expert Executive Director to provide professional
guidance for fundraising and managing the Foundation’s operations. The Board will require
additional funding to support these two initiatives and will likely approach the Library
Trustees for this support.
The Foundation is mindful of the budget established by the Library Trustees in support of
the Foundation’s needs. The Foundation understands that it must submit a proposal to the
Trustees based upon the format outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding between
the City and Foundation. We are thankful for the opportunity to approach the Library
Trustees for this funding to help us reach our mutual goals.
