San Francisco / East Bay Regional Report | Council of Chief Librarians

The SF / East Bay Region group met at the newly renovated Las Positas Library on Friday, October 30, 2015. The group shared news and advice in a large, glass-walled study room featuring smart technology. Equity and other special funds were a major topic of discussion. College President Barry Russell greeted the group during lunch.

After lunch the group took a tour of the revitalized library, a bright, welcoming space. Among the highlights, besides the cheerful ambiance, are two large dedicated library teaching rooms, additional teaching areas integrated into the library floor plan and study rooms with marker-friendly walls (cleaned weekly by staff).

The SF/East Bay regional group is aiming to meet twice a year, with preliminary plans to meet at Contra Costa, CCSF and DVC in the coming semesters.
