Cybersecurity Infrastructure Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The library has active procurement underway for cybersecurity equipment and a dedicated $30,000 budget allocation, yet critical gaps remain in endpoint management and enterprise password security. SLCGP participation is driving urgency around intrusion detection and advanced backup solutions, elevating compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
Dedicated cybersecurity funding through SLCGP and an allocated budget line create immediate purchasing capacity within the current fiscal cycle. Acting now closes critical security gaps, satisfies grant compliance requirements, and strengthens the library's ability to protect public data and maintain service continuity.
Web Accessibility & ADA Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The library faces active WCAG 2.1 and ADA compliance pressure with no accessibility statement currently published on its website. A dedicated $20,000 budget allocation and a listed accessibility policy initiative signal both regulatory urgency and institutional readiness to act.
The opportunity
Dedicated funding and a near-term compliance deadline create a clear window to remediate accessibility gaps and reduce legal and regulatory exposure. IMLS National Leadership Grants for Libraries may offset additional project costs, and acting within the current fiscal cycle ensures alignment with both budget availability and public equity commitments.

Discuss this project →Emergency Operations Plan and Notification Integration
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The library lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan and has no documented review cycle, leaving staff and patrons without a formal response framework. Reliance on fragmented county-level notification systems—without direct integration into library operations—amplifies risk, particularly following recent severe weather events.
The opportunity
HSGP grant eligibility provides a viable funding pathway for emergency preparedness investments with limited local match required. Acting within the current grant cycle addresses an immediate preparedness gap, reduces operational liability, and strengthens continuity of public services.
Consolidate Mass Notification for Emergency Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The library relies on fragmented, county-wide notification platforms with no formal integration into library operations, reducing reliability and reach during emergencies. Recent severe weather events exposed this gap, elevating risk to staff and the public without a unified communication system in place.
The opportunity
Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) funding supports emergency communication consolidation, aligning with current budget planning cycles and reducing local match requirements. Addressing this now closes a documented preparedness gap and strengthens coordinated response for the community the library serves.
