Project and Fundraising Efforts

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Presentation by the Lodi Public Library Foundation regarding
Carnegie wall mural project and fundraising efforts.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Lodi Public Library Foundation, an independent philanthropic
organization, was established in 1999 to cultivate support and raise
funds for innovative major projectsfor the Lodi Public Library. Its
programs "fill the gap" between the community's need for library services and available public funding.
Having contributed significantlyto the initial phases of the library renovation, the Foundation is now
charged with raising funds to complete the final phase of the renovation.
The Foundation's current fundraising project is the Carnegie Wall Mural, which will beautify the library's
Sullivan Community Room. The mural, depicting the original Carnegie library on its dedication day in
1910, will be painted by local artist Tony Segale. Supporters are invited to join the Foundation's Club 64
by donating a minimum of $250 to finance one of the 64 pieces of the mural.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable
