RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Librarian, or designee, to apply for and to accept a Library Services & Technology Act Grant in the amount of $16,000 for the Idea Box, a program designed to collect and implement ideas from children throughout Contra Costa County, for the period July 1, 2017 through August 30, 2018.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No Library Fund match.
BACKGROUND:
This Library Services & Technology Act (LSTA) Pitch-An-Idea Grant is awarded by the State of California on an annual cycle. This grant proposal was developed by the Senior Community Library Manager at the Pleasant Hill Community Library as an expansion of a previous LSTA grant in 2011 and 2012 to engage youth in bringing their ideas – and new library programs – to life throughout the county with the “Idea Box.”
