Here is the report of the workgroup from Azule which studied the Library project. This gives us more information on where Azule stands for this project and what RSC ROOTS may attempt to influence or partner with, if any. Have a great weekend. Gwylene
Azule Library Committee Report March 13, 2010 Folly Beach, SC Present: Betsy Reiser, Peggy Gardner, Lorrie Jayne Using the SWOT method, the Library Committee attempted to assess its realities. We identified the following: Strengths: we have materials, including slides and past projects we have a workable space with nooks and crannies we have a people network which includes our natural historian, Camille our project is something both needed and wanted, and could possibly qualify for grants our space provides a unique and rare place of quiet for study
Weaknesses: we wouldn’t know quite how to get grant money we have limited energy and time there is an on-site dust problem we need a person or way to protect valuables
Opportunities: could become enriching resource for the community could serve as a place for art books, manuals, and history items to live and be cared for, even treasured could be a place for college students to intern could use Doc Kimberly’s office renovation as Historic Preservation workshops Doc’s office could serve as a Bluff time travel exhibit
Threats need on-site supervision, a ‛librarian’ - not Camille if overabundance of donations, need collection policies and guidelines time
We formulated some goals using the SMART method: Specific: identify our space buy Nasalcrom help Camille move things out make inventory of present holdings conduct oral history interviews with Camille, Gwylene, Jean-Marie, and Harold create a better parking and entrance experience
Measurable? Attainable? Realistic? Yes
Timely? Yes, if we follow our timeline.
Our timeline for the next three years:
2010: Cleaning, moving, inventory and oral histories Continue work on slide project
2011: Make ‛scrapbooks’ or folders of past projects Determine collection guidelines, procedures Finish slide project Make new goals
2012: Open our library Begin work on Doc Kimberly’s office
