RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Interim County Librarian, or designee, to apply for and accept a Pacific Library Partnership Innovation and Technology Opportunity Grant in the amount of $15,000 to produce and supplement a Veterans’ Community Story Online Exhibit entitled, War Ink, for the period January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2015.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No Library Fund match.

BACKGROUND:

The above grant will supplement the library’s grant award from Cal Humanities, and supports the library’s existing partnership with StoryCorps, to record the narrative of veterans in our region. The innovative online exhibit, War Ink, provides attendees the opportunity to learn about the impact of the veteran experience through a compelling visual and audible narrative as told by veterans returning to our communities.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Library will not participate in the PLP Innovation and Technology Opportunity Grant.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None.
