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 provide upgraded shelving in the Pittsburg Library's Children's room, for the period September 1, 2019 through July 31, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No Library Fund match.

BACKGROUND:

The Keller Canyon Landfill Mitigation Fund grant 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.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this proposal is not approved, the Pittsburg Library will not be able to upgrade shelving.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Pittsburg Library provides robust Children's programming that includes weekly story times, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics) events and special performers. The Children's room is daily full of children and their families making use of the early literacy activities, computers and enjoying the book collection. The current shelving is the original from when the library was first built in the 1960's. The shelving is old, in ill repair, and not compliant with the Americans With Disabilities Act. The new shelving would provide a safer, more attractive and versatile use of the space.
