A-2002-149 with Lectorum Publications for the <br />cataloging, processing and purchasing of Spanish language books and <br />materials for a period of one year in an annual amount not to exceed <br />$65,000. <br /> <br />DJ:SCUSSJ:OIt <br /> <br />On August 5, 2002 the City Council approved an agreement between the City <br />of Santa Ana and Lectorum Publications, Inc., for an amount not to exceed <br />$75,000. The Santa Ana Public Library has focused its books and materials <br />collection development towards serving the youth of Santa Ana and building <br />its Spanish language collection. To sustain and increase these efforts <br />the Library must continuously replace and purchase new Spanish language <br />books and materials. Once these books are purchased, it is necessary to <br />identify and catalog the books to make them shelf-ready. Lectorum <br />provides the greatest variety of bilingual and Spanish youth & adult <br />literature and materials with a high capacity to catalog and process those <br />materials. <br /> <br />Lectorum is a subsidiary of Scholastic, Inc. and thus provides the lowest <br />prices in the industry because they purchase in large volumes. In <br />addition, Lectorum has experienced bilingual staff specializing in meeting <br />the needs of libraries. The Library is satisfied with the vendor's level <br />of customer service and timely deliveries. <br /> <br />25F-1 <br /> <br />
