PROGRAMS, PARTNERSHIPS, AND OUTREACH EVENTS OF NOTE Curated by Liesl Jacobson, Assistant Director of Community Engagement ●

Pride Parade: Celebrating Diversity, Honoring Sustainability ​Events Specialist Patrick Hutchings coordinated The City Library's participation in the Utah Pride Parade and Festival, in partnership with the County Library. Together, The City Library and County Library had approximately 80 staff members and guests participate in the parade, which was attended by over 65,000 people. A highlight, of this year's event, was the participation of The City Library's new Gay Straight Alliance (GSA), "Alphabet Soup". 12 youth from "Alphabet Soup" made posters and marched in the parade.

Another focus of the Library was to ​reduce its environmental impact​, which involved using wagons rather than a motorized vehicle, handing out fans with all biodegradable parts, and providing snacks with limited packaging. The City Library and County Library also partnered to staff a button making booth at the Pride Festival's Kids' Village.

An estimated ​1,000 guests visited the booth ​and 850 buttons were made.This outreach event is a significant contribution to the Library's focus on ​inclusion and belonging​, ​civic engagement​, and being ​healthy together​.

Field Work Poetry Path: Exploring the intersection of Poetry and Science In 2017, the Library was invited to participate on ​Field Work​, an initiative funded by IMLS and awarded to Poets House, which is a poetry library in New York City.

Field Work is a collaboration between public libraries, natural history museums, and poets to create a hybrid art/science program where STEM learning and poetry are paired to facilitate further understanding of both disciplines.

Salt Lake City and Milwaukee were the pilot cities for the initiative with the goal of creating a replicable model for other libraries and museums. The grant for Field Work included funding for public programs as well as poetry installations. ​Sarah Goodrich and ​Tommy Hamby​ were the project team at the Library and they partnered with the Natural History Museum of Utah and ​Katharine Coles, former Utah Poet Laureate​, to plan and present programs and design the installations for both institutions.The installations consist of boulders etched with snippets of poems curated by Coles.

The Museum's installation is located on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail,​https://nhmu.utah.edu/PoetryPathOpening​. The Library's installation is located in The Plot at the Main Library and is a lovely addition to our community garden!

Coffee and Tea at Chapman: Building Community in Poplar Grove ​Each Saturday at the Chapman Branch, Matt Phillips has been serving coffee and tea for a program called Saturday Cafe. For this program, we invite any patron to come in for a free cup. It's a simple premise: we want to show that the branch is more than just an institution, that we're a good neighbor in Poplar Grove, and that you can use the space for more than just necessary tasks. It also

emphasizes the identity of the branch. Our patrons come to us for quiet, useful space.

This is a gap we fill in our area, as few coffee shops are available, and we've gotten great feedback from patrons, who are often surprised to find that there are no strings attached to the free cup of coffee. The new program has been promoted, and has generated good engagement, on social media such as t​ his post on Instagram​.

Day-Riverside: Partnering to Help Refugees and New Arrivals The Day-Riverside Branch has e ​ stablished a partnership with the newly built Rose Park Neighborhood Center (RPNC)​, which is run by the Good Samaritan Foundation Utah. The RPNC is focused on helping newly arrived immigrants and refugees to learn English, gain technology skills, and find resources to help them become established.

Wise Ng of the RPNC brought her two classes of adult learners and their families to get

library cards, and I gave them a tour of the library and brief introduction of library resources. For one tour, Ma Gee from Myanmar brought her two kids, and they were thrilled to see the Children’s area with the toys and books.

Librarian Brennan Barfuss had communicated to Wise about library card requirements in advance, so that day over 10 new library accounts were created for those two classes.

Hopefully these new arrivals can make full use of the library resources and find success in their new home. (​ Submitted by Brennan Barfuss)

Main Library: Exploring 1968 Through Photos, Film, and Essay O ​ n May 7, the Gallery at Library Square hosted a reception and book-signing for the photography exhibit CHICAGO 1968: The Whole World is Watching​, followed by the film ​The War at Home​, presented by the Utah Film Center. We had a great crowd at the reception and lots of community response at the Q&A following the film with our guest, Nile Southern. The Gallery show continued through June 14.

Our presentation of this show represents a collaboration between Adam Cooper and Nile Southern, the co-editors and curators of the traveling show, ​Jann Haworth, a local artist ​and activist, local bookseller and collector ​Ken Sanders​, the ​Utah Film Center​ and the Library. Editors Nile Southern and Adam Cooper, present a kaleidoscopic, on-the-ground account of the historic protests (and unprecedented police riots) that took place in Lincoln and Grant parks during the 1968 Democratic National Convention, told primarily through the work of their fathers: Michael Cooper, a photographer who was at the center of London’s arts and music scene; and Terry Southern, a prominent literary voice of the 1960s. ​(Submitted

Sprague FireHouse Express -- Garden Planting Party and Future Gardening Programs On May 28th, Cherie Kofoed and Stephanie Howell worked on preparing the Sprague Firehouse Garden so that community members could come and help plant some seeds.

After moving some plants and turning the soil over, we were ready to have our planting party! Two sisters came to help us with the planting and one local resident donated some tomato plants. The youngest participant stated that her goal that day was to “dig a really big hole”. Stephanie Howell taught her how to use a shovel and she left with the biggest smile on her face after accomplishing her goal! Both sisters said they would come back to see the progress of the garden.

Several community members have commented on how great the garden looks when they come in to visit the library. We are excited to see how the garden grows in the following months. We hope to have a salsa making party with the produce and possibly share items at the Sugar House Farmers Market. The garden is an homage to the firemen who lived and worked at the Firehouse. They kept one for many years and it was

ACTIVATING LIBRARY SQUARE

● Living Traditions at Library Square: T ​ he Living Traditions Festival moved from Washington Square to Library Square this year to give them more room to spread out and to expand programming into the library. New this year, we hosted performances in the auditorium and demonstrations (playing a didgeridoo, hula dancing, yoga, and meditation) in the conference rooms. Additionally, chefs from the Spice Incubator Kitchen held cooking demonstrations in one of our tenant shops. An estimated 30,000 people attended the festival​. (​ reported by Elizabeth King)

● Spice Kitchen Food Trucks Pilot W ​ e hosted two Spice Kitchen food trucks, offering Afghani and Sudanese cuisines, this month. They reported an increase in sales compared to those at other locations. Feedback from the group and library staff were positive, and they’re planning on being at the Library every other Wednesday starting June 12 and throughout the summer. Spice Kitchen will soon launch new food trailers and carts, and Administrative Services Manager Elizabeth King is working with them and the City to bring these new food options to the library.

This effort brings together state library agency (SLA) youth consultants and front-line library staff for a robust training program. Once the SLA and selected front-line staff are trained, they in turn will provide training to library staff throughout their state.

Five state library agencies and front-line staff from local libraries in those states were selected to participate in the pilot year of the project. Participants will attend a face-to-face meeting in early October 2018 and then design and facilitate training for library staff in their state over the next three years.

SPRAGUE FIREHOUSE EXPRESS UPDATES (Reported by Cherie Kofoed)

SELECTED MEDIA MENTIONS Reported by Bryton Sampson, Marketing and Communications Specialist

● Salt Lake City Library Patrons Now Have Free, Unlimited Access to the Tribune Online Salt Lake Tribune (​ May 14, 2019) All locations of the Salt Lake City Public Library now offer unlimited access to Salt Lake Tribune articles on The Tribune’s website, sltrib.com. The Tribune has taken down its subscription paywall for patrons at The City Library’s eight branches. The Tribune is extending this arrangement to other Utah public libraries.

● A Look into William Athey’s Bike Projects Slug Magazine ​(May 15, 2019) There’s no better time than Bike month to renew our inventory of Salt Lake City’s legendary people—so let’s highlight William Athey, writer, record-store warrior, public servant and devoted bicycle philanthropist. Throughout the decades of nurturing his passions, Athey has ultimately settled into his 15-year career working within the Salt Lake City Library system and, on the side, just about everything to do with bicycles that this valley has to offer. ● On the Same Page: Treats Are an Essential Part of This Marmalade Book Club Deseret News ​(May 19, 2019) Generally, when you think of a public library, you assume that food is not allowed.

However, in the case of the Marmalade Coffee and Chocolate Society Book Club, which meets in the Marmalade Branch of the Salt Lake City Public Library, treats are highly encouraged. Moka, a gourmet coffee shop that specializes in local coffee and chocolate, is located in the Marmalade Branch. The partnership between its owner, Liz Struthwolf, and a Marmalade librarian, Azra Basic, has been especially sweet.

● Find and Feed Your Inner Artist Daily Utah Chronicle (​ May 25, 2019) Reading is one of the most flexible activities — you can do it anywhere. Soak in different forms of literature and news. The more variety you take in, the more ingenuity you will be able to put out. Visit the Marriot Library or any of the Salt Lake City Public Library branches and peruse the aisles. The Salt Lake City Public Library website has excellent book lists for readers of all ages.

● Here Are Programs and Prizes to Help Your Utah Kid — and You — Keep Reading This Summer Salt Lake Tribune (​ May 31, 2019) Schools are wrapping up, the weather is warming up, and June is a day away. Another clear sign of summer: Libraries, businesses and others are gearing up to engage and reward summer readers.

Salt Lake City mayoral candidates push for free-fare UTA ridership, more alternatives to cars Salt Lake Tribune (​June 5, 2019) As the race to become Salt Lake City mayor heats up ahead of the August primary, several candidates are pushing for free UTA fares within city boundaries and for city taxpayers as a way to promote transit ridership and improve air quality. Jim Dabakis and Stan Penfold floated the idea in separate interviews with The Salt Lake Tribune, as well as at a transportation forum Wednesday evening co-hosted by Bike Utah and the Utah Transit Riders Union at the downtown Salt Lake City Library.

Salt Lake City breaks ground on ‘Marmalade Block’ project ABC4.com ​(June 6, 2019) “The library which was built about three years ago has really provided kind of a central hub for the community to gather around. And we feel like the addition of this project is really just going to complete that focus and really have a transformational effect on the Marmalade Community,” said Micah Peters, CEO of Clearwater Homes.

Birds of Prey Visit City Library During Audubon Photography Awards Gallery Show Salt Lake Tribune (​ June 9, 2019) Animals are normally not permitted in the Salt Lake City Public Library, but officials made an allowance Saturday afternoon for three raptors. About 40 people learned about raptor habitats and habits while admiring the live birds at the “Parade of Raptors," which was lead by HawkWatch International and presented in conjunction with the national 2018 Audubon Photography Awards exhibit. The photography exhibit is on display at the City Library through Friday.

SLC mayoral debate will include all 8 primary candidates; ABU polling shows Dabakis with commanding lead Salt Lake Tribune (​ June 13, 2019) ABU is co-sponsoring the June 26 debate with the University of Utah’s John R.
