Approve an appropriation adjustment to recognize $9,928 in grant revenue from the <br />California State Library and appropriate $9,928 into the corresponding expenditure <br />account to implement the program. (Requires five affirmative votes) <br />DISCUSSION <br />The Santa Ana Public Library was awarded a grant in the amount of $9,928 by the <br />California State Library for its Zip Books Program. <br />The Zip Books Program is an alternative model for a interlibrary loan service that <br />bridges the gap between a library’s regular collection development practice and a home <br />delivery service. The purpose of the program is to 1) provide patrons with speedy <br />access to books they might not otherwise be able to access through the library; and 2) <br />offer a patron-driven collection development approach to a library’s usual process, <br />resulting in a collection more closely matched to local community needs. <br />Under the program, Santa Ana Public Library patrons can request books and <br />audiobooks that the Library does not currently have in its collection. The Library will <br />orders the books from Amazon, the grant’s preferred vendor, and the books will then be <br />shipped directly to the patron. Patrons return the books to the Library at the end of the <br />loan period and the books are added to the Library’s collection.
