After the Retirement of Ann Marie Gold (who I met and really liked) Sacramento public Library has a new library director, Phil Batchelor. See the whole story here –

Batchelor has outlined a plan that includes over 300 improvements to the Sacramento Public Library System. I took some time and read through this outline and found a lot of things that I think we need to start thinking about in our own library system. It’s exceptional in its details and comprehensiveness. If you’re a librarian and interested in this kind of thing you can find the full PDF document here –

It looks like everything was thought of and no stone was left unturned. If you can find some details missing, I’d love to hear them. Feel free to leave a comment or send a message on your thoughts about the plan, the new director, or on Sacramento Public Library in general. I’d love to hear them. Thanks team.

As always, if you have a couple bucks lying around, feel free to support literacy and education in coastal communities and donate to the Coastal Education Project at http://www.coastaleducationproject.org
