SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION (S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
AUTHORIZE the Contra Costa County Librarian to ACCEPT $1,500.00 from the Crockett Community
Foundation for the period of November 1, 2006 to June 30, 2007. (District II)
FINANCIAL IMPACT
No matching funds are required.
BACKGROUND
The $1,500 received from the Crockett Community Foundation will enhance library service to the citizens of
Crockett. These funds will be used to purchase children's materials and provide children's programming in the
Crockett Branch Library.
Contra Costa Children's Impact Statement
Programs in the library and at well-attended community events helps draw the community to the library and
raise awareness of parents and children about library resources and services. Performers typically tie their
performance to stories or books and the audience is encouraged to visit the library to check out books and use
the library's services. Studies have shown that reading to children at an early age increases reading proficiency
and improves performance at school.
A larger supply of current and high-demand children's materials will ensure that the needs of the children in the
community will be better met, enhancing the quality of life in the community for children and families.
