}
DATE: May 27, 1998
SUBJECT: Request for Authorization to Apply for and Accept Library Services and Technology Act
(LSTA) Funds, for FY 98199-Technology for Contra Costa Teens in Transition
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMIENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUS-nFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Contra Costa County Librarian to apply for and accept Federal LSTA funds administered by
the State Library in the amount of between $75,000 and $100,000 for the period of October 1, 1998 through
September 30, 1999 to purchase equipment and hire personnel to initiate a program to use the
resources of the library and the Internet to help youth at Juvenile Hall and the Boy's Ranch.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The library is requesting between $75,000 and $100,000 in LSTA funds. In-kind donations, primarily staff
time, will be contributed by the partners in this project: the Library, the Probation Department, the Health
Department (Summit Program), Volunteers In Probation Program Coordinator and the Contra Costa
County Office of Education. in January, the library submitted a concept proposal for this grant to the
State Library. The State Library determined that the proposal is competitive for funding and encouraged
the library to submit the complete proposal. The library received funds from the Grant Revenue
Improvement Program, recently established by the Board of Supervisors, to hire a grant writer to complete
the grant application.
BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa County Probation Department operates Juvenile Hall, the Grin Allen Youth
Rehabilitation Facility (Boy's Ranch), and Summit Program, a new 0-month residential program for boys
that works extensively with the mental health needs of youth and their families. Each year, over 2,000
young men and women are released back into the community from one of these;programs.
While the factors that determine the success of the reintegration of these young people into the community
are many and complex, access to information about resources available to them: is of critical importance.
An essential component of the Probation Department's mission is to provide opportunities for change for
offenders. The public library can be an important partner in providing these opportunities for change,
particularly with delinquent youth. The public library is a significant resource available to these ,youth
which, when used well, can help prepare them for this transition, thereby increasing their ability to
reintegrate more successfully in the community.

The library will develop an 8-week series of classes on using public library and Internet resources. For
each topic, a workbook will be developed that lists the most useful library resources (primarily available
electronically) and Internet resources. Through focus groups held with youth at Juvenile Hall and the
Boy's Ranch, the youth expressed a need for gaining access to information that will help them find jobs, do
better in school, decide on careers and vocations, find activities to keep them busy and provide necessary
information on health and other topics. Based on these focus groups, the following topics will be
addressed: job listings and resources, educational resources, vocation and career information, health
information, community organizations and activities, homework resources and fun and interesting teen
Internet sites and resources (music, on-lane teen magazines, etc.)
The purpose of this proposal is to obtain funds to purchase the equipment and hire personnel to initiate a
program to use the resources of the library and the Internet to help these youths find out about
opportunities that are available to them. Better information will open up more possibilities for these youths
and increase the likelihood of a successful transformation from their past lifestyle to a more successful and
promising future.
Boys at the Boy's Ranch and in the Summit Program will have the opportunity to earn at least one trip to
the local public library during the eight-week class. A book give-away program will be included. The
County Office of Education is willing to integrate the library classes into the curriculum and to have
volunteers train teachers and the youth. Due to problems with supervision, the computers in the
classrooms (all classrooms have Internet access) will not be able to be used other than while school is in
session except at two of the five units at Juvenile Hall. To maximize use of the resources, 3 portable
workstations will be purchased for use at Juvenile Hall and the Boys Ranch.
Volunteers at Juvenile Hall and the Boy's Ranch will provide training and guidance in learning how to use
these resources in the classrooms and will also work with groups of 5 — 6 kids',during free play periods in
the late afternoon and in the evening. At Summit, volunteers will provide training in the classroom and
also work with small groups of kids during school hours outside of the classroom. Each youth will identify
resources and information in his/her local community that will be useful in reintegrating into the community.
Each young person completing the program at Summit and the Boy's Ranch, as well as youth released
back into the community from juvenile hall, will leave with a packet of information that will include their
workbook, a library card, a map and directions to the library closest to where they will be living, a free book
of their choice, and a letter welcoming them to the library from the County Librarian.
