Executive Summary/Discussion
The Carlsbad Friends of the Library are generously donating $66,800 in direct support of library programs for FY 2022-23.
Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 2.08.100 requires such donations of more than $5,000 to be approved by the City Council.
The Carlsbad Friends of the Library is a non-profit, community-based organization, founded in 1957 with the mission to support Carlsbad City Library programs and activities. The Friends raise funds through the sale of books at Friends bookstores in both the City Library on Dove Lane and the Cole Library. This donation will provide supplies for children, teens and technology programming, reimbursement for performers, materials for the ongoing mindfulness series and support of the Carlsbad Reads Together author talk.
If the donation is approved by the City Council, a letter of appreciation will be sent on behalf of the City of Carlsbad and the Library & Cultural Arts Department to acknowledge the ongoing support from the Carlsbad Friends of the Library in championing library programming.
