RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the County Librarian, a purchase order with Baker & Taylor in an amount not to exceed $357,331.00 for book rental for the Contra Costa County Library, for the period January 1 through December 31, 2022.  

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Library Fund.












BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County Library builds and maintains collections for the County’s residents. In order to meet the high demand of current materials, the library is sometimes forced to purchase additional copies to supplement the long demand list. When popularity wanes, the library is faced with the challenge and expense of storing the excess titles. The Baker & Taylor book rental program provides libraries with an efficient and economical method for maintaining an inventory of the most current, high demand, hardcover titles. Renting library materials will allow the library access to additional copies of popular titles for overall patron satisfaction without a negative storage impact. The rented materials will have the same level of processing and branding that library patrons have learned to recognize as Contra Costa County Library materials.  

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the Purchase Order is not approved, the Contra Costa County Library will not efficiently and economically meet the high patron demand of current materials.
