HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 09222015 - C.33RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Librarian, or designee, to apply for and accept a grant in the amount of
$4,000 from Pacific Library Partnership, 50 Fund and Bay Area Super Bowl 50 Host Committee, to provide literacy
materials and services at the Pittsburg and Bay Point Libraries for the period September 1 through December 31,
2015.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No Library Fund match.
BACKGROUND:
The 50 Fund is the legacy fund of the San Francisco Bay Area Super Bowl 50 Host Committee. This grant is offered
in cooperation with the Pacific Library Partnership, of which Contra Costa County Library is a member. Receipt of
The Bay Area Early Literacy Initiative Grant will positively impact the communities of Pittsburg and Bay Point by
providing low-income families with free resources and programs to support early literacy and increase awareness of
library resources. In addition, this grant will benefit participating Pittsburg High School students by providing them
an opportunity to serve their community as role models in reaching their educational goals.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Though the Library will continue to partner with the Housing Authority Centers, without the grant, the library will
not be able to provide them with resources to help them in their mission to provide free books for all children who
receive services at their centers.
