LIB CITY MGR RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. qs-q@ authorizing the Carlsbad City Library to apply for a grant from the California Library Literacy Service. ITEM EXPLANATION: l From 1984 until 1989 the Carlsbad City Library adult literacy program was funded with grant money from the State. l In 1989, when those funds were no longer available, the City’s General Fund picked up the support of the program. l In 1990, when the California Library Literacy Service was created, the library became eligible for additional matching grant funds. l We have applied for and received the matching grant funds each year for the past nine years. l For the Carlsbad City Library, State-matching funds for 1998-99 will be $26,789, based on the Adult Learning Program’s current budget of $117,140. FISCAL IMPACT: The Carlsbad City Library meets the eligibility requirements for receiving State matching funds. These matching funds are awarded by the State to extend or enhance existing literacy services. Grant funds, again, will be used for one-time purchases of equipment, computer software, instructional material, and part time staff to work with small groups and learners with special needs asdetailed in the Plan of Service Narrative in Exhibit 3.
