ITEM EXPLANATION: The Carlsbad City Library Literacy Program was selected to participate in the 2010 Learner Persistence Project led by the California State Library Literacy Services team. The purpose of this 6-month program was to increase knowledge and improve awareness of the challenges adult learners face in committing to long-term literacy instruction. Components of the project included the formation and training of a regional task force, the selection of 12-15 program teams, research review, discussion, and assessment to develop and implement persistence strategies at local programs. The Carlsbad Library Literacy program has received a $1,000 donation from the Pacific Library Partnership to be used toward literacy activities. Staff proposes to use these funds to support Learner Persistence training for staff. This training is the first step toward implementing local program strategies that were identified through participation in the Learner Persistence Project. FISCAL IMPACT: The donation from the Pacific Library Partnership will support the proposed learner persistence training, which was not included in the FY 2010-11 Library operating budget. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: Accepting and appropriating this donation does not qualify as a "project" under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 as it does not result in a direct or reasonable foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
