Page 4: Demographics SUNNY LEE OBJECTIVE To serve as a member of the Board of Library Trustees. EXPERIENCE •Being a community participant (invitation only) in the initial SRPL Community Visioning Workshop (March, 2015) due to my active role as a patron at SRPL downtown location. •Unofficial Library’s reference desk for the children’s special events and adults programs/ services to the community. In the past, SR librarians reached me directly to announce upcoming events to reach the local parents of school-age students. I’ve posted SRPL’s closures, holiday schedules and special programs to Google and Nextdoor repeatedly when the special hours/services were not commonly known (such as a closure of the library due to an annual staff meeting or special winter closure and furlough days in the past). •Connected Sun Valley, Laurel Dell and DMS teachers and after school programs with Friends of SR Library store to provide surplus books to children. Passionate about the importance of early childhood literacy, especially for the socioeconomically challenged community. Volunteering as a one-on-on adult support for English learning students. •25 years residency in San Rafael and an active SRPLs and other county/city libraries patron. •Recognized as an unofficial ambassador of SRPLs’ numerous online resources, services and programs by friends, neighbors & community members. Having a vast knowledge of the limits of each services (in-person or online) and other programs that are offered at other cities. •10 years volunteering as Secretary of Southern Heights Neighborhood Association. Working closely with 155 households on various neighborhood matters.  •Worked as a special effects technical artist at Industrial Light + Magic (Star Wars) and Digital Domain (Titanic). The value of working in a team to reach solutions that adhered to a set of constraints, with each individual contributing something different to the solution. People with different skills and backgrounds work together to produce better results than any one of them could alone. Learning to work with complex systems and anticipating changes on each project are most valuable lessons I learned. To fix one problem could produce multiple changes in the outcome, sometimes producing new, undesired results. •Volunteer as the go-to tech support person for the seniors in my neighborhood to tackle the challenges when an online scam or computer malware were discovered. •Attend Park/Rec Master Plan community meetings and the Board of Library Trustees meetings to support the board’s work, being informed and shared input as a community member.
