Libraries provide space and opportunities for hands-on learning and engagement beyond education or entertainment. In recognition of this shift in a library’s role and value, programming and creation spaces have grown exponentially. The Palm Springs community has a great need for meeting facilities for all citizens and groups. This proposed meeting room will not only provide a facility for traditional meetings but will also include technology that can be used as “makerspace” which is a collaborative workspace for making, learning, exploring, and sharing that uses high tech to no tech tools. The room will provide hands- on learning, help with critical thinking skills and a communal public workshop in which citizens of all ages can work on small personal projects. With this grant the Library would convert a current 288 square foot storage room and former office space, measuring 16’ x 18’, into a meeting room/makerspace that can serve many purposes. It can be utilized as a meeting room, classroom, or maker space. Teens, seniors, or anyone will be allowed to use the room and it can be available for groups to reserve, or it can use it for library programming. Another project the Library has explored with the Sustainability Department and the Certified Farmer’s Market is a Fix-It Clinic. This would be the perfect space for a Fix-It Clinic where the Library could bring in an expert, for example a lamp repair person, and they would help people repair their broken lamps. Uses for the room and technology is unlimited and can serve the community in many ways. Libraries are the ultimate sustainable resource. Mission Statement: The Palm Springs Public Library provides our community with opportunities to discover, enjoy, enrich, and connect with ideas and people throughout all stages of life. Vision Statement: The Library is the most trusted informative and accessible cultural resource in Palm Springs. Background Library Board of Trustees, Dec. 1, 2021, pg. 19 A special meeting of the Library Trustees was held on March 13, 2019, to allow participants including Trustees, Friends and Foundation Board members and individuals from the community at-large to respond to a new Public Library Strategic Plan. All participants agreed that the major goal for the City of Palm Springs and the Palm Springs Public Library should be to build a “new” Library”; i.e. either renovate the current building; renovate and expand the existing facility or build a new library on a different site. However, in the interim, participants acknowledged that achieving this significant goal will be a lengthy process and recommended that, in the short term, the Palm Springs Public Library continue to enhance services to all of Palm Springs residents. This project would help achieve that goal. Cost Proposal Our cost proposal would include laptops to use for computer class instruction, in addition to other technology like sewing machines or even vinyl cutters like a Cricut or Silhouette machine. Our proposal will also include new cabinets, converting two unused doors into interior-facing windows and changing the current door from solid wood to glass to make the room more inviting.
