Accept a donation of$136,142 from the Walnut Creek Foundation used to renovate the Ygnacio Valley Library
including cash of$108,000.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
These funds will pay for costs incurred with the renovation of the Ygnacio Valley Library.
BACKGROUND
The Walnut Creek Library Foundation and the Ygnacio Valley Friends of the Library raised $156,142 from
community businesses, organizations and individuals to complete a major renovation of the Ygnacio Valley
Library. The County contributed $95,958 towards the total project cost of$252,100. A portion of the $156,142
in costs were paid for directly by the Friends including the cost of recovering the chairs and benches, and
replacing the circulation and reference desks. Funds from the Casey Trust in the amount of $20,000 are
included in the total amount of funds raised of$156,000, and $136,142 are new monies.
Renovations were completed over a one-year period and included replacing the circulation and reference desks
with desks that are more accessible and self-service, creating a more open design in the Library by using more
of the wall space for shelving and opening the line of sight to the large windows, moving the children's area to a
larger space, arranging a new quiet reading area, painting the walls and replacing the 30 year old carpet.
