SUMMARY STATEMENT:
St. Luke’s McCall Hospital Auxiliary oversees a grant program which provides funding for health-related projects in the community, using revenue generated from the Auxiliary Thrift Store.
The McCall Public Library has received funding in the past from this grant program, to include a book bag program for families of newborns. The books, bags, and information about the
importance of reading to children are compiled and distributed free of charge to these families, in order to foster literacy and early childhood development. Library staff wishes to
continue this program and are seeking funding for the purchase of books and bags.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve submission of a 2016 St. Luke’s McCall Hospital Auxiliary grant for the books for newborns program and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
