Residential Rehabilitation and Assisted Living Program Card Eligibility
by Eric Hansen 20 Mar '23

20 Mar '23

Hello everyone, I wonder if any of you have encountered this situation before. Today we had a conversation about whether or not residents at a local rehabilitation and assisted living facility are eligible for a card. It sounds like the length of residency could vary a lot depending on their individual circumstances. Do any of you have experience with this question? Thank you, and best, Eric Hansen Director Vicksburg District Library<http://www.vicksburglibrary.org/> EHansen(a)VicksburgLibrary.org<mailto:EHansen@VicksburgLibrary.org> 269-649-1648

Chief Executive Officer - Prince George's County Memorial Library System (MD) The Prince George's County Memorial Library System<https://www.pgcmls.info/> (PGCMLS) Board of Library Trustees seeks a strong advocate who, through effective leadership, will sustain the library system's progress toward becoming one of the nation's best libraries. PGCMLS serves approximately 905,000 residents from 19 branch locations with a $36 million budget and 306 FTE, roughly 85% of whom are members of UFCW Local 1994 MCGEO. Approximately 72% of its budget comes from the county and 23% from the Maryland State government. In FY 2022, PGCMLS had 583,480 active borrowers, 55,966 people attending 2,296 free programs, and circulated 3.4 million items, ranking it among the highest circulating libraries in Maryland. Since 2020, the PGCMLS Foundation has also raised over $2 million to strengthen the role the library plays in the communities it serves, including support for the creation of five resource labs focused on creative design, media production, entrepreneurship, workforce development, and social justice education. PGCMLS is committed to innovation, and it received the Urban Libraries Council's 2021 Top Innovator Award for its workforce and community development initiatives. The library has fostered a collaborative culture, both internally and with other community stakeholders, and it enjoys strong support and goodwill from its patrons. The ideal CEO will bring extraordinary passion, innovation, and a demonstrated commitment to a diverse, multicultural, and engaged community of patrons and active partners.
