the following funding sources

organization which is dedicated to supporting the Fort Worth Public Library (Library) system by mobilizing
resources for and promoting services of the Library in conjunction with the City of Fort Worth and the

has donated funds in the amount of $125 000 00 to support a 13 000 square feet facility and it is
recommended that Council accept this donation
