Proposal Narrative
Proposal Narrative
Please write a narrative statement describing your plans for implementing Great Stories Club grant
programming. Each section of the narrative may be up to 500 words in length.
Please tell us why you are interested in applying for a Great Stories Club grant as part of the
Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation (TRHT) series.
Include why you believe the theme you’ve selected ("Deeper Than Our Skins" or "Finding Your Voice") will
be meaningful to the individuals who participate in your programs; what teens and staff may gain from
engaging in racial healing sessions; and what you hope to achieve for your library and your participants
during the grant term. What will a successful series look like to you?
The West Fresno branch of the Fresno County Public Library (FCPL) has an opportunity to partner with one
of our area High Schools to address the need in West Fresno for additional programming and services.
The West Fresno Branch and Edison High School are across the street from each other creating a unique
opportunity to serve students within walking distance and support the education of area youth. West
Page 5 of 20
Fresno is an area that has often been neglected by services. In the 93706 zip code served by the West
Fresno Branch, 42.8% of residents live below the poverty line and 58% of children live below the poverty
line. The West Fresno area is one of the most racially diverse in the city of Fresno. The Edison High School
student body consists of a large Latinx population of 59.9%, African Americans make up 17% of the
student body , and Asian American 10.4% . This makes Edison High School more diverse than the city
itself, which shows the most recent data from the 2016 U.S. Census to be 54.2% white, 48.6% Hispanic,
13.4% Asian, and 8.1% African American.
During a recent brainstorming session at the Fresno County Public Library (FCPL), West Fresno branch,
teenage patrons were asked to talk about their ideal community and how that differs from the
community they currently live in. The teens spoke about a lack of respect, about feeling neglected and
abandoned by the larger Fresno community, about living in a neighborhood that lacks services, and
about their vision for a better community and more supportive environment. The participating teens were
able to articulate their hopes, fears, dreams, and obstacles in a meaningful and impactful manner.
Despite having a clear and articulate scope of the issues facing the West Fresno area, as well as possible
solutions, these teens seemed surprised that FCPL staff was interested in hearing their thoughts and
opinions.
This experience highlighted how teens, especially ones living in underserved areas, can feel unheard. By
developing a program around the theme of finding your own voice, it is the hope of FCPL that we will
further enable teens to 1) identify their concerns and possible solutions, and 2) serve as positive leaders
in their families, peer groups, and larger communities. If this program is successful, it may be rolled into
a long term Leadership Club for teens that use the West Fresno branch of FCPL.
Grants and programs such as The Great Stories Club will provide opportunities for our young patrons to
become involved in leadership roles and help shape the direction of Fresno through their voices and
actions. It is our hope that this grant will represent a step forward for young patrons becoming more
involved in leadership roles in FCPL that will reverberate beyond the completion of this project. This grant
will provide resources and training for staff to help incorporate the critical voices of our young patrons in
a meaningful way.

Local race relations
In American history, there have been structural barriers to equal treatment and opportunity within the
economic, legal, educational, and residential components of communities. Tell us about the current
realities of race relations within your community and any local history that has led or contributed to these
realities.
Writing for The Atlantic in 2018, Thebault notes that “more than 50 years after redlining was outlawed,
the legacy of discrimination can still be seen in California’s poorest large city.” Indeed, Fresno has its own
Mason-Dixon Line of sorts, which divides the city in terms of both race and economic class. As sociologist
A. Crowell (quoted in Thebault, 2018) explains, “Once you have a group of people segregated into a place
you can take resources from that place. It creates a monster of social inequality that falls along racial
lines, and then it recreates itself.” This is the context surrounding Edison High School in Fresno’s
southwest side: racial segregation, concentrated poverty, unequal funding, lack of access to medical and
other services, and a preponderance of bio-hazardous industry. The average life expectancy of residents
in West Fresno is 20 years lower than residents living on the city’s more affluent north side. West Fresno
is considered “the riskiest place to live in California” (Grossi, 2016).
For decades and up to the present day, the word “disadvantaged” has been an adequate descriptor for
West Fresno. People with low income, people of color, and immigrants are disproportionately located in
this section of the city, and face high concentrations of factors that reproduce that disadvantage. “We
ask for help,” says Mary Curry, of the activist group Concerned Citizens of West Fresno (quoted in Grossi,
2016), “but nobody has been listening.”

Has your library offered any previous programming or engaged in any community efforts to
address the current realities of race relations in your community?
Please tell us about those activities and the impact they've had.
Fresno County Public Library has recently focused on turning outward to our community to better
understand the needs of those being served. This has been accomplished through the hosting of
Community Conversations. These conversations have also helped staff develop listening skills that assist
in processing difficult information without becoming defensive or reactionary. While these programs have
not focused on race relations in Fresno specifically, they have allowed FCPL to hear from
underrepresented voices in our community. The information gathered at these conversations has helped
FCPL identify several underserved areas and communities as well as issues facing the residents of Fresno
County.
Among the concerns expressed during these conversations has been a lack of resources in the West
Fresno area served by both Edison High School and the West Fresno Branch of the FCPL. There is need for
additional resources and outreach in this area, especially around difficult subjects such as race relations.
West Fresno is also in need of services and programs that seek to empower the students attending
Edison High School and other nearby schools. This area has suffered from long-standing segregation, and
students are impacted by the legacy of historical and institutional racism. A Great Stories Club grant will
allow FCPL to greatly expand our outreach to teens in the area, as well as provide invaluable training and
resources to identify, discuss, and address the effect that racial politics has on the neighborhood.
Partnership and/or recruitment information
If you are partnering with another organization, what is the nature of the partnership? Tell us
about the work this organization does, why you have chosen to work with them, the history of the
partnership, and anything else that will convey how you will work together on the program.
If your library does not plan to work with a community partner to recruit teen participants for
your Great Stories Club series, please clearly explain why teen readers in your general
service area would benefit from engagement with this project and how you will gain their
involvement with your program series. For example, ALA will consider proposals from school
libraries that serve alternative classrooms, libraries that are part of a juvenile justice facility or
department of corrections, tribal libraries, and public libraries in high-poverty communities.
Recruitment for the program will focus on Edison High School Students. Since Edison High School and the
West Fresno Branch of FCPL are located across the street, students will be able to access meetings at
either FCPL or Edison High School. The program manager will contact teachers at Edison to identify and
Page 8 of 20
recruit interested students. This program will focus on inviting students who have been identified by their
teachers as having potential interest in both the grant themes and in service learning. The program
manager will work with Dr. David E. Low at Fresno State University to identify teachers who may be able
to participate in this program.
Fresno State University’s Kremen School of Education and Human Development (KSOEHD) will serve as
the partnering agency with Fresno County Public Library. The role of this partnering agency will be to
provide guidance and mentorship, connect FCPL with appropriate Edison High School teachers, and assist
in developing a service learning project and evaluation procedures and tools.
Dr. Low, a professor of literacy education at KSOEHD, and the chair of the American Educational Research
Association (AERA) Literature SIG, will work with the project coordinator to identify strategies to guide the
service learning aspect of this project. Fresno State University is a Hispanic Serving Institution as well as
an educational community dedicated to service learning. Dr. Low’s experience in these areas will provide
valuable guidance for the program manager. This guidance will help the program manager more
effectively work with teen participants in designing and implementing a successful service learning
project.
Dr. Low will also be instrumental in connecting the program manager with Edison High School teachers.
As a professor and former high school English teacher, Dr. Low is immersed in the pedagogical issues and
challenges associated with adolescent literacy programming. His insights will help identify teachers who
are able to meaningfully facilitate the Great Stories Club program.
One of the goals of this program will be to assist students in developing and using their own evaluation
tools and procedures. Learning to evaluate your own work and the work of a team is a valuable academic
and life skill. One of the outcomes that will determine the success of this program will be the students’
ability to develop these evaluation tools. As an experienced educational leader, Dr. Low will bring his
expertise in helping students evaluate their own performance during this project by providing mentorship
to the program manager regarding guiding students through a successful evaluation process.

Describe your efforts to identify a racial healing practitioner for this project.
Please tell us about the individual(s) who will lead at least one racial healing circle as part of your GSC
program, how you connected with that person, and/or how library staff have been prepared to facilitate a
circle (i.e., staff person has facilitated sessions as part of the TRHT GSC pilot program). Additionally,
please tell us about the library project director’s interest in participating in ongoing professional
development opportunities that focus on facilitator preparation training. If you do not plan to work with a
racial healing facilitator/practitioner, please skip this question.
The project manager, Fae Giffen, will be applying for the Racial Healing Circle Practitioners training with
the goal of serving as this program’s racial healing practitioner. Ms. Giffen has experience as both an
outreach and a youth services librarian for Fresno County Public Library. This experience has given her
the opportunity to work with a variety of different patron groups across Fresno County. She has also had
the opportunity to participate in several sensitivity and facilitation trainings that make her a strong
candidate for the Racial Healing Circle Practitioners training. These training include Harwood training for
Community Conversations, Mental Health First Aid Teacher training, and Touchpoints training for youth
services librarians.
Harwood Community Conversations. This training taught a technique closely related to positive inquiry
that asks conversation participants to brainstorm about their perfect community. The Harwood
Community Conversation method is designed to help organizations seek meaningful input from their
service groups. This training involved strategies to lead a group through a conversation involving several
structured questions, but that also allows for flexibility. The training also develops facilitation skills to help
guide open conversations to meaningful outcomes without influencing the content of dialogue.
Mental Health First Aid Teacher Training. Ms. Giffen was selected to participate in a weeklong training to
learn to teach Mental Health First Aid courses to FCPL employees. This course involved lecture material,
videos, group and individual activities, and group discussions. Trainers learned to facilitate a class that
encouraged individuals to discuss difficult and personal subjects and respect the rights and feeling of
others in the group, while maintaining a productive and positive classroom atmosphere.
Touchpoints Training: This training was designed to help youth services librarians assist families in having
positive experiences when visiting their local public library. The training focused on learning to assume
positive intent in others and supporting families in their goals, rather than dictating goals and standards
to families.

Describe the population from which your Great Stories Club discussion group will be drawn.
Include as much information as possible about the young adults who will participate in reading,
discussion, and racial healing events, and describe how the group currently relates to reading (e.g.,
reading levels, interest in reading, access to similar programs). Tell us how you will invite or require teens
to participate, how information about the program will be distributed, whether incentives like class credit
will be used, and if there will be prerequisites such as behavioral or academic good standing.
Edison High School is a minority-majority school serving southwest Fresno. In 2016, the student body of
Edison High School was primarily Latinx, with 59.9% of the population identifying as Hispanic. The second
largest racial group on campus was African American, making up 17% of the school population. Asian
American students comprised 10.4% and white students made up 9.8% of the student body (a change
from several decades ago, when Edison had a population of 99.6% minority students and was found to be
in violation of the Civil Rights Act). Today, Edison is more racially diverse than the city of Fresno itself. The
most recent data from the 2016 U.S. Census shows Fresno to be 54.2% white, 48.6% Hispanic, 13.4%
Asian, and 8.1% African American.
Student participants will be selected by working with one or more teachers at Edison High School. The
partner teacher will be in charge of selecting the ten participating students, but will work with the
program manager to determine criteria for membership in the Great Stories Club. Once selected,
students will be formally invited to participate. The program manager and Edison High School teachers
will work together to organize meeting times and locations (such as Edison High School during the lunch
hour or The West Fresno Library after school). Edison High School teachers and the program manager will
also work together to create incentives for participation.

Please clearly describe your plan to implement the TRHT Great Stories Club.
Important information to provide includes how books will be distributed, how often discussion groups and
racial healing circles will convene (e.g., one program per title or multiple chapter-specific programs), how
discussion group meetings will be structured (length of program, lead presenters or moderators,
discussion format, additional activities), where programs will take place and if transportation is required,
and anything else that will help reviewers understand your proposed series. As a reminder, grantees will
be invited to refine these plans after attending the two-day orientation workshop.
The West Fresno Great Stories Club will hold monthly meetings at either Edison High School or the West
Fresno Branch of the Fresno County Public Library. Each session will focus on one title as well as
identifying a service project that the students in the club can co-develop to improve their community.
Students will be given each new title at the end of meetings. As they read new titles, students will be
encouraged to take notes on how the themes in the title impact their own community and inform their
service learning project. The program facilitator will work with Edison High School teachers and faculty at
the Kremen School of Education and Human Development at Fresno State to assist students in identifying
a service project, developing a plan to address that project, creating goals and outcome measures, and
using the themes of the selected works to inform their service learning project and group discussions.
After being selected the students will be asked to begin thinking about a service learning project to work
on during the grant period. Students will be given a handout introducing them to the Great Stories Club
and explaining the concept of a service learning project as well as examples of projects that would be
possible to complete given the timeline and available resources. The first meeting will be dedicated to
deciding on the group service learning project as well as a plan to implement the project. At the end of
this meeting they will be given the selection for the next meeting. Students will likely have to coordinate
additional meetings to work on the service learning project. This schedule will be worked on during the
first meeting. Each subsequent meeting will be dedicated to a different title and will discuss the themes
in each title as well as brainstorm ways that each title could inform the work being done in the service
learning project. As part of the service learning project, students will also develop their own success
criteria as well as an instrument to measure that criteria.
After each title has been discussed in its own meeting there will be two additional meetings. One will be
the evaluation meeting. This meeting will give students an opportunity to evaluate their own progress
and make recommendations for future action. The last meeting of the West Fresno FCPL/Edison High
School Great Stories Club will be a showcase where the student members of the club can present the
results of both their participation in the Great Stories Club and the outcomes of their service learning
project to friends and family.
Page 12 of 20
Describe how you will highlight and explore the ideas in this series.
Beyond using the book-specific discussion points that will be provided by AL A, how will you encourage
participants to think about the issues presented in the books, including concepts such as identity, cultural
heritage, empathy, self-expression, institutional change, and justice? If activities, projects, assignments,
field trips, or other materials (e.g., books, films, music) will be part of your programming, please describe
them. Finally, please tell us about your plans to host a racial healing circle, if applicable. Describe any
opportunities that you see for including racial healing work and the knowledge/skills gained during the
GSC grant term in future library/community efforts.
This program will focus on encouraging the students selected for the book club to explore their own
leadership potential. In addition to discussing the themes in the books, students will be asked to create
and implement a program-long service learning project that addresses one or more of the themes being
discussed in the materials. Students will work with the program manager, teachers at Edison High
School, staff at Fresno County Public Library, and faculty at Fresno State University to identify one or
more themes that impact their lives and community, design a service learning project to address those
themes in a positive manner, implement the project as a team, and evaluate the success of the project
and their own progress as leaders. Students will be encouraged to take ownership over every aspect of
the project (with adult support) and use this as an opportunity to address themes from the selected
works in their own lives and communities. At the end of the Great Stories Club grant period, selected
students will be encouraged to continue the work of addressing important themes in their communities
by starting a Leadership Club at the West Fresno branch of FCPL. They will also be encouraged to perform
outreach for the Leadership Club by identifying other students who might be interested in a project
dedicated to youth leadership and activism.
Page 13 of 20
How will you evaluate your Great Stories Club series?
Please tell us how you will keep track of attendance information, evaluate your institution’s work on the
project overall, maintain key relationships with community partners in the future, and offer referral
opportunities for underserved populations after the project’s conclusion. Additional support for program
evaluation will be offered during the two-day orientation workshop.
The Great Stories Club will have two forms of evaluation; one designed by the program manager and one
designed by the student participants. The program manager will evaluate the program based on
attendance, active participation, and the ability of the students to identify, design, and implement a
service learning project. The program manager will also work with the students to design evaluation
criteria for their service learning project. These criteria can be anything that the students would like to
measure, but might include factors such as the ability to include individuals from different races and
religions and the ability of the students to work together as a team. Once the students have agreed on
evaluation criteria, the program manager will assist the students in performing their own program
evaluation, addressing their own progress as community leaders, and addressing next steps as future
leaders. It is our hope that the West Fresno Great Stories Club will evolve into a long-term Leadership
Club for teens at the West Fresno Public Library where youth collaborate with FCPL staff to address issues
such as justice and inequality in their community and act in leadership roles to disrupt these issues.
