RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Librarian to close the Kensington Library from June 4, 2018 through and including June 12, 2018 in order to repaint the interior, upgrade the employee work area and replace furniture in the public area.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Library Fund will be contributing $25,000 and Kensington Library Friends will be contributing $11,000 to this planned refresh for repainting and the upgraded employee work area.

BACKGROUND:

This is a planned refresh of the Kensington Library. The Library will be paying for the painting, installation of ergonomic furniture in the employee work space and the reconfiguring of that space. The Friends of the Kensington Library will be paying for some furniture in the public area. The library will close on June 4^th and reopen on June 14^th (Wednesday the 13^th is a regularly scheduled closed day). The book drop will not be open during the closure. Holds will not be available for pick up during the closure. Users needing library services during the closure can visit the nearby El Cerrito Library or any other Contra Costa County Library.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Kensington Library will not be closed to the public, which means the planned refresh will not occur.
