Skye Patrick

[6][7] Under Patrick's tenure, the Library started a fine-forgiveness program where patrons under 21 can "read away" their late fees, resulting in 13,000 previously blocked accounts being reinstated.

[9] Among the services and programs that were developed by Patrick to address the needs of communities of color, is LA County Library’s partnership with Barbershop Books and My Brother’s Keeper.

[10] The library also created its My Brother’s Keeper Peer Advocates program under Patrick as part of the MBK Challenge, launched by former President Obama in February 2014, which called upon cities, counties, and tribal governments to make a difference in improving outcomes for boys and young men of color.

LA County Library collaborated with the Los Angeles Department of Public Health to provide pop-up COVID-19 testing and vaccination clinics in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

[20] In 2019, Patrick was selected by the Durfee Foundation as one of six Los Angeles-based residents who received a Stanton Fellowship to explore responses to some of L.A.’s most pressing challenges, including segregation based on race and ethnicity, national origin, income, educational level, and occupational category.
