SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The McCall Public Library is requesting approval to submit a grant application to the Payette Lakes Progressive Club for $1000 to support the purchase of a customized Book Bike that
will be used by library staff and volunteers to provide mobile library services to day cares, school classrooms, and other community members who may not frequent the library. The effort
to purchase and outfit the Book Bike for the Library has been initiated by Mia Rider, a 13-year-old 7th grader at Payette Lakes Middle School and Cadette Girl Scout with McCall’s Troop
#255. The Book Bike project contributes to her effort to obtain the Girl Scout Silver Award (the highest award a Cadette can earn).
The total cost of the Book Bike is approximately $3500. A $2500 grant recently award by the McCall-Donnelly Education Foundation provides the balance of needed funds.
An example of the customized Book Bike to be ordered from Haley Tricycles can be found here: http://www.haleytricycles.com/book-bikes/
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve submittal of a Progressive Club grant application for a McCall Public Library Mobile Book Bike and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
