RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Librarian, or designee, to apply for and accept a grant in the amount of $5,000 from East Bay Community Foundation, administered by the Rodeo Municipal Advisory Council, for Rodeo Library services, pursuant to the local refinery Good Neighbor Agreement, for the period July 1 through December 31, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No Library Fund match.

BACKGROUND:

The County currently funds 18 hours of library service at the Rodeo Library. If granted, the $5,000 received from Rodeo Municipal Advisory Council will be used by the Contra Costa County Library to fund four additional hours of library service during the period July 1 through December 31, 2017, which will provide one extra hour of service on Saturdays and evening hours on two weekdays for a total of four additional open hours per week. These extended hours offer Rodeo residents more opportunities to make use of the educational and recreational resources available in the library.  




BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
  
The Rodeo Municipal Advisory Council is a strong supporter of the Rodeo Library and consistently grants funds to the Library for extended open hours.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the grant proposal is not approved, the Rodeo Library will be open 18 hours per week instead of 22 hours per week.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Extending hours at the Rodeo Library will meet all five community outcomes established in the Children’s Report Card. Research shows that early and positive experiences with books set the stage for a child’s success in learning to read. Additionally, literacy skills are a strong predictor of health and employment status. Extending hours at the Rodeo Library will draw more families to the library and encourage regular exposure to reading and books, thus improving the quality of life for children and families in Rodeo.
