SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The McCall Public Library would like to submit an application for a Community Engagement Grant from the Idaho State Historical Society for $2300 to support purchase of two (2) fire-proof
and water-resistant four drawer upright file cabinets to safely store irreplaceable family history records kept by the Library. These records have been digitized, but the original hard
copies are unique and do not exist elsewhere. In the long term, the cabinets will be transferable to the new Library facility and, in the short term, will conserve these original documents
in archival quality storage units and open up some much-needed space in the Idaho Room of the existing Library building, allowing for one more study desk to be provided to the community.
The total project cost is $5050. This includes the purchase and delivery of two (2) fire-proof file cabinets ($2300 each - see attached for details); archival file folders ($100) and
materials to construct a new built-in study desk ($350). In-kind staff and volunteer time will be used to organize and move the historic records and construct the study desk.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve submittal of an Idaho State Historical Society Community Engagement Grant for the McCall Public Library and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
