FROM: Anne Marie Gold, County Librarian
DATE: March 10, 1992
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION TO ACCEPT GRANT FUNDS
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize County Librarian to accept funds in the amount of $741.00 from Northern
California Grantmakers Summer Youth Project for the.period June 1992 through August
1992 to purchase an attractive prize for all children who complete ten books for the
Summer Reading Program.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No matching funds are required.
BACKGROUND:
The Summer Reading Program is offered to youth in grades K-12 to encourage
recreational reading. Throughout the year, librarians conduct storyhours, give "booktalks"
to class visits and hold after-school programs with themes or activities based on quality
children's literature. The Summer Reading Program is very different from these year-
round efforts to encourage reading on a less formal basis, since each child receives a
gameboard, meets certain reading requirements and is rewarded with a prize. It is
noncompetitive and all participants who meet these minimum standards receive prizes.
