EXPLANATION:
The California Library Literacy Services (CLSS) grant is awarded to the National City Public Library by
the California State Library to support the following programs for FY2012-13:
- Adult Literacy Services
- Families for Literacy
- English Language Literacy Intensive (ELLI)
Due to reduced funding, Mobile Library Literacy Services (MLLS), a program offered to pre-schools
through the bookmobile, will not be provided.
•
Background information: In FY2011-12, due to the State budget's total elimination of library programs
funding, the Library did not receive the CLLS grant. In FY2010-11, the Library was awarded $59,466 to
operate the following programs: Adult Literacy Services, Families for Literacy, English Language
Literacy Intensive, and Mobile Library Literacy Services.
CDBG has been used to cover costs of key staff overseeing literacy services, thus providing leverage
for the Library to get additional operating funding from the State Library.
