FISCAL IMPACT: No library fund match. BACKGROUND: The County currently funds 18 hours of library service at the Rodeo Library. The $4,000 received from Rodeo Municipal Advisory Council will fund four additional hours of library service from January 1, 2012 through June 30, 2012, which allows the Library to open two evenings, and one additional hour on Saturdays thereby providing Rodeo residents more opportunities to make use of the educational and recreational resources available in the library.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: This grant supports the community outcome of Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families. Many Rodeo residents are only able to use the Rodeo Library due to transportation difficulties and/or age (particularly children and teens who cannot yet drive). The Rodeo Library remains an important part of the community’s civic life, offering such activities as book discussion groups, movie discussion groups, and arts and craft programs for parents with small children.
