Title
Discussion of issues relating to authorizing the Library to submit a grant application for Shell’s Deer Park Community Grants.
Body
Summary:
The library seeks approval to apply for a grant offered to celebrate Shell Deer Park’s 90th birthday. Encouraging creativity and developing new skills are important roles for the Library. The 3D printer will be used for educational and recreational programming with children, teens, and adults. It also will be available for members of the community to print their personal projects. Printing costs are an allowed expense to recoup cost of supplies when the printer is used outside of library programming.
If the grant is not approved, the Library will include the 3D printer and cart in next year’s budget requests.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
No budgetary impact. If grant is approved, grant funds will be expended to purchase equipment.
Recommended action
