Information

Agenda Item Text:

Approve the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) grant from the Arizona State Library, Archives & Public Records, in the amount of $22,770, for "Creativity in a Box (expansion).", effective May 18, 2018 through August 2, 2019.

Background:

The original LSTA-funded "Creativity in a Box" project was implemented at the Myrtle Kraft Library in Portal in 2016/17.  The project created self-contained kits with tools and supplies to help library users learn a new skill, like audio storytelling or growing an herb garden.  The project also included a series of workshops for the public.

The 2016/17 project was very successful, and this grant funding will make it possible to make the kits and a limited number of workshops available in libraries countywide in 2018/19.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):

The Library District will move ahead with the expanded "Creativity in a Box" project.

Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:

Project is only possible with grant funding.
