HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 01062015 - C.32RECOMMENDATION(S): APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Librarian, or designee, to apply for and accept a grant in the amount of $1,000 from the Crockett Community Foundation to provide library materials and programs for the period February 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015. FISCAL IMPACT: No library fund match. BACKGROUND: Funds from the grant will provide high-quality programs to children in Crockett which would otherwise be cost-prohibitive to implement. Funds will also allow the Library to purchase materials related to the subject matter of the selected programs. The Crockett Community Foundation is a generous supporter of the Crockett Library. Past grant awards have improved the Library's collection and the building. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Without funding the materials will not be purchased and the programs will not occur.
