BACKGROUND:
Since 1996, the Long Beach Public Library Foundation has bolstered the mission of Long Beach's public libraries, encouraging literacy and education for all members of the community.

Available programs include kindergarten readiness programs, one- on-one tutoring for students, 3D printing, STEAM workshops, employment skills support, homebound reader services for seniors, and more. On September 18, 2022, the Long Beach Public Library Foundation will host its 19th Annual Grape Expectations gala, its signature fundraising event to support their continued work on behalf of Long Beach's libraries. I commend the Foundation's commitment to this excellent cause and would like to request Council's approval to lend my support toward this event.
