RECOMMENDED ACTION: Notice of Plan for Mobile Library Grant Proposal for Fiscal Year
2023-2024 Approved by the Library Board of Trustees (Information
Only)
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Library began research to apply for grant funding for a mobile
library van primarily servicing aging adults. The deadline for the
grant was November 15, 2021. After preliminary feedback from the
senior center, community center and assisted living facilities, the
Library Director determined there is not demand to justify a proposal. Community asset mapping and
needs assessments will be conducted as part of the library's strategic plan during November 2021 -
February 2022.
This data will be compiled via surveys, recommendations from community partners, a community forum
to be held at the library and interviews/observations during community canvassing. If another target
audience is determined as a result of the aforementioned process, and state funding is available next
fiscal year, the Library Director will present a proposal for funding.
This decision and plan of action were voted upon unanimously by the Library Board of Trustees during
the November 8, 2021, meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT: Operations and Maintenance Costs, to be determined if conditions are met to
submit proposal.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: None at this time.
