FROM: Ernest Siegel, County Librarian Contra
Costa
DATE: June 26, 1986 Cty i/
SUBJECT: APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL GRANT - LIBRARY LITERACY PROGRAM ��'� ��1
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Authorize the Contra. Costa County Library to apply for and accept Federal funding
for the period of October 1, 1986 - September 30, 1987 to augment State funding
for Project Second Chance in order to increase existing adult literacy services
to East Contra Costa County and to the County detention facilities.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This is an application for $25,000 in Federal funds. No matching funds are
-required. The Library's contribution will include Project Second Chance staff
time to administer the program.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
Funds have been made available through the Federal Library Services and Construction
Act to fund or to augment existing funding for library literacy programs. State
funding for Project Second Chance is being reduced by predetermined State formula
at a time when the demand for services is increasing. This project will allow
Contra Costa County Library's Project Second Chance to meet this increased demand
for literacy help in the East Contra Costa County communities and in the County
detention facilities. In both of these communities, present demand considerably
exceeds the present level of service which is limited by current funding.
