Renew the contract with Brodart Company for library cataloging and purchase
of books and materials for a one-year period in an annual amount not to

DISCUSSION
The Library provides adult and youth programs to 125,528 card holders
annually. Approximately 21,000 books and materials are purchased yearly,
including a Spanish concentration of 25 percent. Brodart offers a wide
selection of materials in the children, young adult and general adult
categories. Of the 21,140 items purchased last year, 7,495 were purchased
for adults, 10,959 for children, and 2,686 for young adults. Brodart
supplies fiction, non-fiction, audio, and video materials in English,
Spanish and Vietnamese. Brodart catalogues and bar codes all items in the
Library database so that they can be entered into circulation as soon as
they arrive at the Library.
On January 2, 2007, the City Council awarded a contract for a one-year
period with provision far four renewals. Brodart has performed
satisfactorily during the previous contract period and staff recommends
renewal of the contract.
