RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Librarian, or designee, to apply for and accept a grant in the amount of $10,000 from Keller Canyon Landfill Mitigation Fund to the Pittsburg Library to provide and install permanent StoryWalk displays at Small World Park located in Pittsburg for the period of July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No Library Fund Match

BACKGROUND:

The Keller Canyon Landfill Mitigation Fund (KCMF) process was established in August 1992, and funds are used to mitigate effects of the landfill site by funding community-based organizations and County Departments for programs in the following areas: youth services, code enforcement, community beautification, public safety, and community services.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Keller Canyon Mitigation Fund has provided funding to the Pittsburg Library for a variety of projects since 2013. These projects have enhanced access to literacy materials, cultural experiences, and enhanced the community’s enjoyment of the library facility.

Families depend on the library to provide literacy learning activities and opportunities for their children. By bringing a permanent StoryWalk to the community of Pittsburg, Goal 1 of the Library's Strategic Plan can be achieved. Goal 1 states: We champion personal and community engagement in literacy and reading to enrich lives. The Pittsburg Library would use the funding for the purchase of the StoryWalk frames, installation of the frames at Small World Park, book purchases for inside the frames, graphic creation and promotional materials.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this proposal is not approved, the Pittsburg Library will not be able to complete this project until other funding is found.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Pittsburg Library is committed to providing the community quality children’s programming. A permanent StoryWalk connects with the City’s “Pittsburg Moves” Initiative, including their goals of increased park use, art appreciation and early literacy. As a permanent outreach project, a StoryWalk will increase the library’s presence in the community, building stronger connections with families.
