Authorize the Contra Costa County Librarian to apply for and accept $1,000 in grant funds from the
Pleasant Hill Community Foundation for the Contra Costa County Library 5K Fun Run/Walk on July
249 2005. The proceeds from the Fun Run/Walk will be used to purchase children's materials.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
No matching funds are required.
BACKGROUND
The $1,000 received from the Pleasant Hill Community Foundation will be used to help offset the cost
of the Contra Costa County Library 5K Fun Run/Walk.
CONTRA COSTA CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT
The new materials will encourage children and their families to visit the library more often to check out
the new library materials 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 and will enhance the quality of life in the community for
children and families.
