RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Librarian, or designee, to apply for and accept a grant of up to $5,000 from the California Libraries Cultivating Racial Equity and Inclusion (CREI) Initiative for the period of July 2019 to June 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Grant funds originate from the California State Library and federal Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA). The Library will utilize these funds to send employees to the CREI training. Any additional training costs will be covered by the Library Fund.

BACKGROUND:

The California Libraries Cultivating Racial Equity and Inclusion (CREI) Initiative provides participating Library jurisdictions up to $5,000 in reimbursements to support the successful learning, planning and implementation of racial equity and inclusion policies, practices and programs. Funding comes from the California State Library and federal Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA). The CREI Initiative's broad goal is to catalyze a statewide network of libraries and library staff committed to racial equity and inclusion for all, to share information; deepen conversations; and, take actions to grow racial equity in library service delivery and the communities that we serve.


CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Contra Costa County Library will not be able to participate in this program.
