V. President's Report
Dennis Walcott called on members of the Management Team to report to the Board on
the current status of the Library.
Amy Mugavero, Director of QLF, confirmed that the 2017 Queens Library Gala will be
held at Queens Museum on Tuesday, October 17, 2017. There will be three Gala
honorees, Dr. Lester W. Young Jr., Ed.D, Regent At Large, Board of Regents, Jeffrey
Barker, NYS President, Bank of America and Patricia E. Harris, CEO of Bloomberg
Philanthropies. The Foundation anticipates sending the Save the Date cards and
invitations by late Spring or early Summer.
The Foundation has been actively meeting with current and potential donors. Ms.
Mugavero has conducted site visits with two of the Foundation’s major donors, The Fan
Fox and Leslie R. Samuels Foundation, Inc., which recently donated $110,000 over a two
year period for senior and adult programs, and the Pinkerton Foundation, which donates
$152,000, annually. Ms. Mugavero is also scheduled to meet with the Citi Foundation to
discuss a substantial gift to QLF. This would be the first major gift from the Citi
Foundation.
Jonathan Chung, Director of Government Affairs (GCA), was asked to give updates on
the latest advocacy efforts regarding the City and State budgets and meetings with state
legislators. He reported that the governor and legislators are currently in negotiations to
adopt a budget after the Assembly and Senate passed their “One House Resolutions”.
The Assembly has restored the $4 million budget cut that was proposed by the governor,
and has added $11 million to the capital budget, which includes $6 million in new funds
plus the $5 million restoration. The Senate budget increased operational aid by $8
million, which includes $4 million in new funding plus the $4 million restoration. The
Senate proposed an additional $15 million to the capital budget, which includes $10
million in new funding on top of the $5 million restoration of the governor’s proposed
cut. The restorations were due in part to the concerted effort of the all the NYS library
systems rallying on March 1 in Albany, NY for Library Day, where Queens played a
significant role with the largest number of advocates. The governor’s budget cuts are still

pending, however, the library systems are optimistic these cuts will be restored.
The Government Affairs office is currently wrapping up scheduled meetings with City
Council Members regarding capital projects, needs, and advocacy within their districts.
Mr. Walcott met with the Queens Delegation to present the Library’s request of $5
million for capital funding, and $800,000 to expand the STACKS Program, the Library’s
after school program. GCA has also met with OMB to give updates on the Library’s 10-
year capital plan and the status of Hunters Point.
To thank the public officials for showing their support and advocacy for the Library,
GCA has taken pictures of the officials involved in advocacy efforts to create “Read
Posters”, which will be sent to their office for display. Mr. Jackson, a Board Trustee,
suggested that the posters should be also displayed in the official's local libraries.
Mr. Walcott stated to the Board that the Library gave their testimony at the Preliminary
Budget Hearing - Council Committee on Cultural Affairs and Libraries on March 8. At
the Hearing, the Tri-Library systems requested $34 million in additional operating
funding, of which Queens would receive $9.75 million to: expand 7-day service in every
Council district (one library per district), translation services, Stacks and Google CS
programming, materials collection, purchase new hotspots, and to expand the New
Americans Program and Jobs & Business Academy; and $120 million in capital funding,
with $40 million to be allocated to Queens. The Preliminary budget hearings will be
complete by March 30th
. At this time, the Council will post their responses to the
Preliminary budget plan. The Tri-library systems have begun collaborating on a response
to the preliminary plan.
Dennis Verriello, VP, Capital Projects and Facilities Management (CFM), was asked to
give updates on the capital projects. He stated that the capital projects are moving along
well. CFM is currently working on the 10-year capital plan. Ozone Park Library will be
opening soon and awaiting furniture to be delivered by mid-April. The Flushing Library
Children’s Room will be completed and will have a grand opening on April 4.
Queensboro Hill Library is anticipated to be substantially completed by DDC on April 4th
for transfer to the Library for internal cleaning and furniture outfitting. Kew Gardens
Hills Library is anticipated to be completed by DDC no later than mid-April. When the
Kew Gardens Hills Library is completed by DDC and accepted by the Library, it will
take approximately 3 months to be outfitted and opened to the public. As for the
Hunter’s Point project, there is a labor strike in Spain that is preventing a glass shipment
to be delivered. The project has been delayed for approximately 6 weeks.
Lewis Finkelman, Chief Operating Officer, was asked to give the Board an update on the
new Vice President of IT, William Goldband. Mr. Finkelman stated that Mr. Goldband
began his position on February 8th
. He came from the Department of Education where he

served as the IT Chief Administrator and has over 20 years of experience overseeing IT
functions.
Mr. Finkelman also announced the addition of the Queens Memory Project to the Queens
Library website. In conjunction with QueensMemory.org, people can contribute and
upload historical pictures and memories of Queens to the website.
Mr. Finkelman also announced that the new Collective Bargaining Agreement has just
been executed, is fully enforceable and will be implemented immediately. The new
agreement includes 4 hours of excused time for various cancer screenings, which will be
retroactive to January 1, 2017. Mr. Walcott and the union president will sign a joint letter
thanking the Governor for this provision of the new agreement. This agreement will be
enforceable for the next four years.
Mr. Walcott gave praise to the Library’s IT department for working diligently to resolve
the IT issues and challenges with SAP. He also stated that Finance has hired a Senior
Payroll Manager who will help resolve SAP payroll issues and reduce the use of SAP
consultants to assist in resolving payroll issues.
Nick Buron, Chief Librarian, and Gitte Peng, Chief of Staff, were asked to give a joint
overview regarding public service within the Library. Mr. Buron gave an overview of the
Public Service Staff Meeting, which is held twice per year. On March 23rd
, over 200
staff members attended this event. At the meeting, staff enthusiastically responded to
Ms. Peng’s presentation about the upcoming “Queens Library is for Everyone”
campaign. This campaign is a collective effort to welcome and support people of all
backgrounds, identities, beliefs, and circumstances and will focus on three main
components - raising public awareness of the Library’s inclusivity and offerings,
engaging staff in a culture of welcoming to reach and serve customers, and expanding
programs and services for vulnerable communities. The Library will partner with several
organizations to provide staff training and information, for example, regarding immigrant
rights and services, and will use private funds to support the innovation and creativity of
staff in alignment with the campaign.

BOARD/COMMITTEE: Board of Trustees
DATE OF MEETING: April 27, 2017
ITEM ID #: 1413
AGENDA: New York City Department of Youth and Community Development –
Comprehensive Services for Immigrant
Background: The Library has been awarded a grant of three hundred sixty thousand
dollars ($360,000.00) from the New York City Department of Youth
and Community Development (the “DYCD”) to deliver services related
to the Comprehensive Services for Immigrant Families programs,
which aims to identify the complex and multiple needs of newly-
arrived immigrant families and help them gain the knowledge to enable
them to address specific challenges and navigate key systems that
impact their lives (e.g., education, healthcare, housing, benefits, tax,
workplace, and legal and immigration systems). In particular, this grant
would help fund case management services at the Elmhurst Adult
Learning Center from July 1, 2017, through June 30, 2020.
Current Status: As a recipient of the grant DYCD requires the Library’s Board of Trustees
to adopt a resolution authorizing its President and Chief Executive
Officer and its Chief Financial Officer to execute the requisite grant
paperwork on behalf of the Library’s Board of Trustees.
Recommended Motion for Consideration:
I move that the Board of Trustees approve the adoption of the attached Resolution
authorizing the Library’s President and Chief Executive Officer and its Chief
Financial Officer to execute the requisite paperwork regarding the Comprehensive
Services for Immigrant Families grant on behalf of the Library’s Board of
Trustees.
