Report
BACKGROUND
The Board of Library Trustees (Board) and the Santa Clara City Library Foundation and Friends (SCCLFF) Board met on June 2, 2025 and December 1, 2025 with the goal of furthering communications and collaboration in support of the Library. The Boards agreed to meet regularly to further shared goals and maintain ongoing collaboration. At the December 1, 2025 meeting, following a presentation on the role of grants in supporting Library programs and services, the Boards held discussion and identified some areas of possible collaboration and support.
At the April 6, 2026 regular meeting of the Board, Trustees reviewed the notes from the December 1, 2025 joint meeting, and discussion was held to coordinate the next joint meeting of the Boards. It was agreed that Vice-Chair Tryforos would attend the April 20, 2026 meeting of the SCCLFF Board to inquire if the Board's June 1, 2026 meeting date would be acceptable for the next joint meeting. Vice-Chair Tryforos was also requested to bring back any agenda topics of interest to the SCCLFF Board.
DISCUSSION
The Board will hold discussion to select dates for the next joint meeting of the Board and SCCLFF Board. The Board will review notes from the December 1, 2025 joint meeting, revised from discussion held at the April 6, 2026 regular meeting, as a starting point from which to discuss and draft agenda items for the next joint Board meeting.
