E2-Basic Library Management
ASSIGNMENT 3
There are many ways to offer suggestions to the library board. As a CEO or a library staff member in a management position, you are well placed to offer information and advice to the library board through written reports or oral presentations.
For this assignment, you will write a service proposal for your library or library branch. The model presented earlier in this module should be used as your guide in preparing the document.
Choose one (1) of the following service problems and write a proposal to the board. If you are not the CEO in your library, assume that the CEO has asked you to write this report since you are so familiar with the area.
- Unemployment is a major problem in your community. The local
Canada Employment Centre has asked you to become a partner with a
new team of agencies working on this problem. There is a some money
available to pay for certain aspects of this team’s work. You have
been asked to help with resource materials. What will you do? What
else could you offer to the new team working in your community?
- As a result of a major recreation plan for the community, it
became apparent that there is a very large population of pre-school
children. To this point, not very much is being offered in the
community. Consider what you might be able to do for this audience
and write a proposal outlining your approach. Unfortunately, there
is no new money available from outside agencies. Any projects,
programmes or materials would be paid from fundraising or from the
library’s budget.
- Use a project you think might work in your community. Unless you
know of a source of funding, all money for the project would have to
come from the library budget or from fundraising efforts.
In all cases, your written report on the service proposal should be about 2 pages in length. It should be prepared as if you were writing to the library board.
