That the City Council appropriate $85,000 from the Library Facilities and Collection Fee Fund to purchase resources to expand the Corona Public Library’s various collections.
Body
ANALYSIS:

Library Facilities and Collection Fee Funds are collected specifically to offset the cost of an increase in the demand for the Corona Public Library’s various physical, electronic, and other collections. The funds accumulated in the account are to be used solely to purchase and process library materials. These funds, in addition to general fund dollars, donations from Friends of the Corona Public Library, and individual donations, comprise the Corona Public Library’s total materials budget.
