FISCAL IMPACT: This action increases appropriations in Library Administration & Support Services (0620) and decreases appropriations in Library Community Services (0621) by $275,000. 100% Library Fund. BACKGROUND: In the Contra Costa County Library strategic plan, libraries that are being moved to new buildings, new locations, being renovated, or have aging book security equipment will use an 80/20 self-service model to handle circulation functions. In this model, 80% of circulation will be self-service and 20% will be handled by staff. RFID-ready self-check machines that include self-return software are major components to achieve the goals of the strategic plan. The Antioch, Concord, Dougherty Station, Hercules, and Moraga libraries have very old book security equipment. The libraries will be configured to use the 80/20 self-service model. The equipment also needs to be the same in each location for staff that move between different locations. It is imperative for network and staff training that the systems are compatible and the same in each location.
