FROM: Anne Marie Gold, County Librarian
DATE: August 2, 1993
SUBJECT: FEDERAL LSCA - MURL GRANT
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the County Librarian to apply for and accept Federal LSCA - MURL funding in the amount
of $9,568.00 for the period September 25, 1993 through September 30, 1994 to strengthen the
Concord Library's role as an information resource for jobseekers and career changers by expanding
the library's collection of basic education, job skill and training, job search and career development
materials in both Spanish and English.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No matching funds are required. The Library will contribute selection and processing work and must
share these resources through established networking channels. Library staff will cooperate with staff
from other California MURL Grant libraries in the design of a Regional Collection Development Plan.
BACKGROUND:
The Library Services and Construction Act - Major Urban Resource Library Grant provides that when
total funding of the act exceeds a designated level, a portion of the excess be divided among library
jurisdictions with cities of over 100,000 population. Concord qualified for the first time in 1984/85.
This application is for ninth year funding. All LSCA-MURL Grants are distributed through the
California State Library in accordance with a State plan. The proposed use of the funds is consistent
with identified local and regional needs.
