The grant was developed by a team of public library directors and staff in response to the
results of a survey conducted in 1998 and seeks to address the formal library education needs
of California public library staff seeking a Master's degree in library and information science.
Eligible applicant libraries must apply for the grant funds on behalf of their staff that qualify for
tuition reimbursement under this program.
On March 14, 2006 the Carlsbad City Council authorized the Carlsbad City Library to apply for
these grant funds on behalf of those employees who met the qualifications.
One Carlsbad City Library part time employee was selected to receive funds under the grant for
Fiscal Year 2006/07.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The grant funds will be sent to the City of Carlsbad and administered by the Library Director for
tuition reimbursement payments made to the student in accordance with the terms and
conditions set forth in the Consolidated Application and Notification of Grant Award.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
Acceptance of the education grant funds from the California State Library does not qualify as a
project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378) and
no environmental review is required.
