LOG NAME: 841LLSUBAWARD
SUBJECT:
Ratify Acceptance of a Subaward from the Texas State Library and Archives Commission in the Amount of
$65,654.00 and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Ratify acceptance of a subaward from the Texas State Library and Archives Commission in the amount
of$65,654.00; and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Grants Fund in the amount of$65,654.00.
DISCUSSION:
The Institute of Museum and Libraries subaward is funded by the Federal Library Services and
Technology Act (LSTA) and administered by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission
(TSLAC). Through this process, TSLAC has granted the Fort Worth Library a $65,654.00 non-competitive
subaward based on the Library's participation in the Interlibrary Loan Cooperative Statewide Resource
Sharing Program. This program provides reciprocal borrowing services among libraries to fill requests for
customers when desired materials are not readily available in their local libraries. The amount of this
subaward was determined by a formula based on the number of items borrowed to fill Fort Worth Library
resident requests (7,708) and loaned from the Fort Worth Library to other libraries to fill their requests
(13,946). Both the subaward and continued participation in the Interlibrary Loan Program are benefits
made possible by maintaining the Library's annual accreditation as a qualified member of the Texas
Library System.
The purpose of the Interlibrary Loan Program is to make library materials widely available. Fort Worth and
Texas libraries have an ever increasing need for bilingual materials to serve its growing Hispanic
populations. Therefore, these funds will be used to purchase new and replacement bilingual library books
and materials.
FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that funds have been received in the amount of
