RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Librarian to close the Lafayette County Library early to the public on October 15, 2022, at 3:00 p.m., instead of the regular 5:00 p.m. under normal business hours, to host the annual Night at the Library fundraising event, as requested by the Lafayette Library and Learning Center (LLLC) Foundation.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

On Saturday, October 15, 2022, the Lafayette Library and Learning Center Foundation will host its annual Night at the Library fundraiser. Previously, the LLLCF has had very successful fundraisers within the library to showcase the library to donors and potential donors and to offer "stations" where attendees can see and experience emerging technologies, chat with authors, and gain an appreciation for the lovely space that is the Lafayette Library. The County Librarian is requesting approval to close the Lafayette Library early to the public at 3:00 p.m. instead of the regular closure time of 5:00 p.m., in order to provide the LLLCF time to ready the library for the event.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Lafayette Library will not close early to the public, making it difficult to set up the library for the event.
