HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 08182015 - C.52RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Librarian, or designee, to apply for and accept a grant in the amount of
$1,000 from the Crockett Community Foundation to provide public programs at the Crockett Library for the period
September 1 through December 31, 2015.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No Library Fund match.
BACKGROUND:
Funds from the grant will provide high-quality programs for children, teens and families in Crockett that would
otherwise be cost-prohibitive to implement. Public programs offered through these funds meet the Contra Costa
County Library strategic goal to ensure easy, equitable access to library services for all county residents. Programs
also meet the Library's strategic goal to champion personal and community engagement in literacy and reading to
enrich lives. The Crockett Community Foundation is a generous supporter of the Library. Previous grant awards have
supported materials, programs and building improvements.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without funding the library programs will not occur.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Grant funds support the community outcome of Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for
Children and Families. Library programs offer residents the opportunity to enjoy free events close to home that
otherwise would most likely require an entrance fee and significant travel time to attend. These programs allow
Crockett residents to gather as a community and, through reading-related programs, experience new ideas.
