Adopt Resolution No. 2OOl. - 2 accepting a grant in the amount of $24,861 from
the California Library Literacy Service, appropriating the funds to the Library 2000-2001
grant fund, and allocating the accrued interest from the 1999-2000 grant to the Adult
Learning Program’s general fund account (00140457550).
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 2000-2001 will be $24,861.
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 purchases of computer hardware and software,
instructional material and supplies, and part time staff to work with small groups and
learners with special needs.
EXHIBITS:
1. Resolution No. ACo/ - 2 _ accepting a grant from the California State Library
Literacy Service.

Dear Mr. Lange:
I am pleased to inform you that the Carlsbad City Library Literacy Service has been awarded $24,861 of
CLSA matching funds for literacy, based on your certification of $136,978 in local public and private funds
budgeted for expenditure in the 2000/01 fiscal year. The enclosed signed budget page (CLSA Form-46)
specifies the amounts approved for each budget category to support the Plan of Service you have submitted.
I enclose a master (for duplicating) of the Budget Change Request Form (CLSA Form-53) to be used if
changes in the approved budget should become necessary. An instruction sheet is also enclosed.
I have initiated the payment process. You should receive a check for the above amount within six weeks.
All funds (CLSA and “other” certified for matching) must be expended or encumbered by June 30,
2001.
Once again, local libraries in the matching program have increased the funds generated for literacy. The total
has increased from $3.6 million in 1990/g 1 (the first year of the matching funds program) to $13.9 million
this year. I enclose a spreadsheet surnrnarizing sources and amounts of local literacy funds for your use in
the 2000/01 budgeting process.
The ratio of state to locally raised funds remained about the same as last year. We are currently providing $1
state dollar to every $5.51 raised locally, or an 18% state match.
I look forward to your state reports. Please contact CaroIe Talan at (916) 653-8032 if you have questions.
Yours sincerely,
Chief Executive Officer,
Library of California Board
