SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Contra Costa County Library to accept Federal funding
in the amount of $12, 500 for fiscal year 199.0-1991 :as provided by
grant awards aplied for by the Bay Area Library and Information
System (BALIS5 to help participating libraries identify the youth-
at-risk population in local communities and to develop library
services to better serve this population.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The California State Library has available federal LSCA funds for
projects to extend and enhance library services. BALIS is design-
ing and administering the grant. Contra Costa County Library' s
participation will not require matching funds , but ,will require
staff time for activities noted in items 1 through 4 below.
BACKGROUND:
In recognition of the growing need to serve youth, BALIS is
applying for a Federal Library Services and Construction Act (LSCA)
grant in the amount:...of $83 , 160. Contra Costa County Library has
requested direct responsibility for $12 ,500 of this. This grant
application acknowledges that developing educated, responsible
citizens for California' s next century is more than a challenge:
it is an imperative. In the Bay Area, wide-ranging ethnic diversity
and large new immigrant populations have added to an already com-
plex issue of serving youth. By participating in this BALIS grant,
Contra Costa County Library will:
1. Learn how to identify the youth-at-risk population (ages
10-19)
2. Identify this population in at least one Contra Costa
County community
3. Identify and network with other agencies and organizations
serving the youth-at-risk population
4 . Develop and implement an effective approach to serving
the youth-at-risk population.
