DISCUSSION:
Since 1996, the Long Beach Public Library Foundation has fundraised and advocated for equal access to literacy, education, technology, and essential community resources through the Long Beach Public Library.
Councilmember Roberto Uranga would like to support the foundation’s Librarian Appreciation event on August 18, 2023.
This matter has been reviewed by Budget Analyst Joe R. Guerrero on July 11, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT
This recommendation requests the City Manager to provide funds to the Long Beach Public Library Foundation to support the annual Librarian Appreciation Event as written above.
