BY:	, Deputy

RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Librarian, or designee, to close the Antioch Library to the public from April 21 through May 31, 2021 in order for Public Works to paint the interior of the library, and to install new carpet and new shelving.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Library Fund.

BACKGROUND:

In order to conduct a planned interior facility improvement, the Antioch Library will close on Wednesday, April 21, 2021, and reopen on Tuesday, June 1, 2021. Although initially planned to take place in the prior fiscal year, the improvements were postponed for several months due to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the initial delay, shelving has been purchased and scheduled for installation, and work requests have been submitted to Public Works for the paint and carpet work.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

During the closure, Antioch library staff will be temporarily reassigned to other library locations to fill vacant positions. The book drop will not be open at the Antioch location, and holds will not be available for pickup. Those needing library services during the closure can visit the nearby Prewett or Oakley Libraries, or any other Contra Costa County Library.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Library will be unable to conduct the planned facility improvements at the Antioch Library.
